INSTALLATION – SOLAR COLLECTORS
43
Notes
•
It is important to connect the solar hot and solar cold pipes to the correct connections at the solar collector
and at the solar storage tank.
•
The solar cold pipe connects to the bottom of the solar collector array and may connect to either the left
or right hand side. The solar hot pipe must connect to the top of the solar collector array diagonally
opposite to the solar cold pipe connection. The solar hot outlet and hot sensor connection is to be the
highest point of the system.
•
The hot sensor connection is at the solar hot outlet where the solar hot pipe connects to the solar collector
for this open circuit system.

Maximum Height to Collectors
The maximum height of an open circuit solar Streamline installation, from the solar controller (circulator) to the
top of the solar collectors, is determined by the maximum recommended total pipe length for the system and
the water supply pressure. Refer to
on page 42.
The maximum recommended total pipe length of the collector circuit should not be exceeded and a minimum
water supply pressure of 200 kPa should be available at the inlet to the system, otherwise the system
performance may be reduced or the collector circuit may not be purged of air during the commissioning of the
system.
