
The upper frame is made of heat-sealed PVC (3) that can be removed to access the
accumulation tank. Light and UV-resistant, its design makes it suitable for any
architectural context.

The lower thermal insulation is made of a polyurethane foam panel, 30 mm thick, that is
coated with sheets of aluminium; the lateral insulation is made of 4 sheets of natural
fibre polyester, 25 mm thick.
B. the STORAGE

The domestic water accumulation system is made of a series of high-performing
stainless steel cylinders (4) made of a special alloy that resists high pressures and also
very corrosive water.

The cylinders are closed at their ends by special caps (5) made of thermoplastic
material loaded with glass fibre, to unite lightness and resistance.

The caps are connected to each other by copper connecting pipes, which allow the
water to move from one cylinder to the next.
The supports for flat roof (6) are available in two models:
- BASIC SUPPORT: pair of galvanised sheet supports (supplied standard);
- DELIGHT SUPPORT: pair of AISI 304 electropolished supports (accessories, available on
request).
Note on the integrated storage system
The
“EGO” solar collector with integrated storage was produced pursuant to the 97/23/EC
Directive (PED) for pressurised equipment, in relation to the fluid and working conditions to
which it is exposed.
It is a container that holds a group 2 (water) fluid, with steam pressure at the maximum
acceptable temperature below 0.5 bar in addition to the atmospheric pressure (1.033 bar).
As its threshold limits are below those indicated in art. 3.3 of Directive 97/23/EC:

"...for fluids in Group 2 with a pressure PS greater than 10 bar and a product of PS and
V greater than 10 000 bar 7L, or with a pressure PS greater than 1 000 bar (Annex II,
table 4)...";

"...piping intended for fluids in Group 2 with a PS greater than 10 bar, a DN greater than
200 and a product of PS and DN greater than 5 000 bar (Annex II, table 9)..."
this tank is not subject to CE marking, but the producer guarantees it (as established in the
directive) because "designed and produced following a correct construction procedure";
the accumulation system does not require CE marking.
