SFERASOL
TM
must be installed in a place with total daytime sunlight. If not possible,
sunlight should be at least from 11 a.m. to sunset.
• When installed,
SFERASOL
TM
inspection door must be always SOUTH-side oriented
• In order to avoid temperature losses due to piping length,
SFERASOL
TM
panel should
be positioned next to the Storage tank and/or to the collection point.
• After installation, ensure that
SFERASOL
TM
is protected against wind which reduces
the greenhouse e
ff
ect obtained by the spherical shape of the system.
• Any changes to the optimal orientation would reduce
SFERASOL
TM
e
ffi
ciency, with no
responsibility of
SFERASOL
TM
panel.
• In case optimal installation is not possible, the number of
SFERASOL
TM
panels requi-
red would increase to compensate e
ffi
ciency losses.
• Shading (due to trees, buildings or any other obstacles) should be avoided in order to
ensure at least 4-6 hours of complete sunshine exposure during maximum sun thermal
radiation.
• Basement on which the machine will be positioned must be planned so that is sui-
table to hold the machine weight
• A well corresponding to the appliance base should be advisable and lay underground
a piping connection for water and electrical connection (min. diam. 100 mm.).
• Fix
SFERASOL
TM
to the support foot through 4 wedges diam. 8 mm in the apposite
holes on the base, ensuring that 3 mm. washers are
fi
tted with the wedges.
This operation avoids any condensate stagnancy inside the support foot.
To this purpose, do not seal the support foot to the base with mortar or silicon.
SFERASOL
TM
e
ffi
ciency can be further improved by following previous suggestions,
thanks to its innovative shape, exploiting also the shaded part of the appliance.
Exploiting di
ff
used energy, it is advisable to use light colors for any walls next to
the appliance, and to create a 1,5 diam.white gravel circle in case of installation
on lawn.
The above advices enable a re
fl
ection phenomenon of sunlight which optimizes
the appliance e
ffi
ciency.
