1. Introduction

The Solar 3C Cylinder is a high quality stainless steel hot water cylinder suitable for use on unvented or

open vented hot water systems. The indirect heat exchange surfaces are designed to provide rapid heat up.

The indirect units incorporate 2 x 3kW electric immersion heaters as backup. When the unit is supplied for

unvented applications, it comes complete with all the necessary safety equipment to comply with legislation

governing the installation of such systems. The temperature and pressure relief valve is factory fitted.

The Solar 3C Cylinder range has 3-coils; the bottom coil is for the solar thermal connection, the middle coil

for conventional boiler or heat pump back up (both middle & bottom are input coils) and a top coil which

is designed as an output coil. This coil, sat in a reservoir of energy hopefully supplied via the solar thermal

collectors, will enable the energy to be taken from the cylinder indirectly to the heating load via the Solar 3C

purpose control box and jig.

All the installation, user and service instructions given for the Solar 3C Cylinder range apply to the 3C382B,

3C510B, 3C382HP and 3C510HP cylinders unless otherwise stated
