WATER STORAGE TANKS
The solar twin coil tank is used to store hot water heated by the solar system. The
tank has two internal coils, the solar circuit provides heat through the lower coil
while the back-up heating system (boiler) will heat the hot water via the upper coil.
Firebird water storage tanks are built from premium quality stainless steel and
include an electric immersion as standard.

An automatic air vent should be fitted at the highest
point in the solar circuit system in order to remove air
from the system during commissioning. An isolating
valve should be fitted before the air vent and isolated
once the system has been commissioned.

High grade 1m stainless steel flexi pipes which can be connected
to the flow and return side of the collector array. This saves
the installer having to make complicated pipe bends through
the roof of the house. Fittings can be included to connect the
pipe to the different solar collector types.

MIX Anti-scald Mixing Valve
ANTI-SCALD MIXING VALVE
The heat transfer fluid used in a solar circuit is normally
a mixture of water and a polypropylene glycol anti-freeze.
The glycol anti-freeze also contains an additive to
protect against corrosion and evaporates at higher
temperatures than water to allow higher system
temperatures. Firebird recommends a 40% glycol to
60% water mix to ensure frost protection to circa -25˚C.
