2.2.2 Collector temperature
The collector temperature is
measured by a temperature sensor
installed in one of the solar collectors.
It is used with the storage temperature
(see section 2.2.3) to determine
∆
T (see
section 2.2.1). In the example, the
reading is 154 °F.
Pressing the up button will display
the temperature of the water at the
bottom of the solar storage tank (see
section 2.2.3).
2.2.3 Storage temperature
The storage temperature is
measured at the bottom of the solar
storage tank. It is used with the
collector temperature (see section
2.2.2) to determine
∆
T (see section
2.2.1). In the example, the reading is
31 °C.
Pressing the up button will display
the maximum collector temperature.
2.2.4 Maximum/minimum control temperatures
For collector and storage temperatures, the historical maxima and minima
are stored in memory. These values are for informational purposes (interest,
maintenance, etc.) and are not used in any calculations. The recorded values
can be cleared using the reset function (see section 3.4).
From “storage temperature”, pressing the up button shows “maximum
collector temperature”, followed by “minimum collector temperature”, then
“maximum storage temperature”, and finally “minimum storage temperature”.
