WARNING: Plumber – Be Aware:
·
The solar cold and hot pipes between the solar
storage tank and the solar collectors
MUST BE
of
copper and fully insulated with Armaflex insulation or
similar (minimum thickness 10 mm).
·
Plastic pipe
MUST NOT
be used, as it will not
withstand the temperature of the water generated by
the solar collectors under stagnation conditions. The
solar collectors can generate extremely high water
temperatures, up to 150
°
C, and high water pressure
of 1000 kPa. Plastic pipe cannot withstand these
temperatures and pressures, and
MUST NOT
be
used. Failure of plastic pipe can lead to the release of
high temperature water and cause severe water
damage and flooding. Refer to Warning on page 29.
