PRODUCT INFORMATION
Satellite collector NANOSOL 135
2.1 Installa
ti
on recommenda
ti
ons
The total daily measured value of the incident radia
ti
on is 26.7 MJ/m
2
at an ambient temperature of
34.8 °C. We advise not to install the appliance in cli
ma
ti
c areas where the radia
ti
on value is higher than
the above
quoted one.
The appliance has to be installed by professional and
quali
fi
ed people who are responsible for the applica
ti
on of safety regula
ti
ons in force and can carry out,
not only a proper set up of the appliance, but also the
necessary tests before commissioning the plant.
2.2 Packaging
The appliance is delivered packaged in a wooden box
with appropriate protec
ti
on. A pressure relief and
non return valve and an envelope containing this boo
klet are delivered with the appliance.
2.3 Sizing
Before installing the appliance, knowing exactly how
it will be used is very important in order to avoid an
under sizing of the whole plant. The right sizing de
pends on the user’s needs.
Useful advices:
•
One appliance is suitable to produce enough do
mes
ti
c hot water for two people.
•
We suggest to install at least two units (the hot
water produced by the
fi
rst one is quite o
ft
en wa
sted during the water distribu
ti
on).
•
If the solar system is well sized, it is possible to
use the domes
ti
c hot water produced by the ap
pliance for a longer period throughout the year,
thus increasing the user’s savings
•
If for economic reasons an undersized system is
carried out, foresee brackets for other units, in
order to make a possible subsequent installa
ti
on
of more appliances easier and quicker.
•
Domes
ti
c hot water consump
ti
on:
On average
about 9
10 litres of water
fl
ow o
ff
a tap every mi
nute (every 10 minutes = 100 litres of water. This
equals to 3/4 of the overall storage capacity of
the appliance).
2.4 Installa
ti
on and loca
ti
on
of the appliance
The water heater is delivered in a packaging. It is sup
plied with the installa
ti
on manual and with a pressure
relief valve (to be replaced with a pressure relief and
non
return valve in accordance with the rule
EN 1487
in case the panel is installed in Italy). Once the appli
ance is out of the packaging, place it exactly where it
has to be installed paying a
tt
en
ti
on while handling it:
use the special handles in order to avoid to compro
mise the
ti
ghtness of the black seal that
fi
xes the cu
polas to the tray. At this stage, connect the cold and
hot tubes, placing the pressure relief valve on the cold
water inlet. Then
fi
ll the tank. In all storage solar
water heaters the absorbing surface (cupola) must al
ways be exposed to the sun.
The best posi
ti
oning of
the solar water heater is SOUTHWARDS.
In order to use all the hot water stored in the tank, a
35° installa
ti
on is advised. This angle makes water
stra
ti
fi
ca
ti
on easier: in this way, beeing the hot water
outlet in the upper part of the tank, it is possible to
use nearly all the hot water. Moreover, thanks to this
angle, sun rays are perpendicular to the appliance du
ring the ho
tt
est part of the day.
Sugges
ti
on for a good installa
ti
on:
•
If possible, always connect the hot water outlet of
the appliance to the cold water inlet of conven
ti
o
nal hot water systems such as gas boilers, boilers
with calori
fi
er or
fi
replaces. In this way you will be
ne
fi
t at best from solar energy: the solar water
heater will act as an e
ffi
cient heat integrator.
•
In order to avoid useless heat losses, we advise to
locate the solar water heater close to point where
users withdraw hot water.
•
If the appliance is located in public places, we sug
gest to install a thermosta
ti
c water mixer and a
token dispenser to keep down the hot water con
sump
ti
on.
