We recommend not to assemble the distance metal sheets at a
high insolation or temperature.
The potential thermal expansion of the collector may cause
difficulties when assembling.
Assembly intermediate plates
It is possible to mount metal sheets between the collectors for a homogenous appearance. The distance metal sheets are
only assembled for optical aspects ad do not have any functional influence on the system. Therefore, the distance metal
sheets have to be ordered separately and are not necessarily included in the delivery.
For the collector types FKF 200 V, FKF 240 V and FKF 270 V, two distance metal sheets are mounted in every gap
between the collectors. For the collectors FKF 200 H, FKF 240 H and FKF 270 H, the assembly of one distance metal
sheet is planned. In case of multi-row systems, the distance metal sheets are mounted as described. The distance metal
sheets can be mounted from above or below.
Distance metal sheets for the
assembly in one row
The distance metal sheet is inserted into the collector grooves
from above/below.
In case of vertical collectors or rather in case of multi-row
assembly of the collectors, further distance metal sheets are
inserted subsequently from above/below.
The distance metal sheet has to be inserted until it lines up
precisely with the lip (collector covering).
When assembling the distance metal sheets, please pay
attention to the waterflow
from the upper to the lower distance
metal sheet.
To avoid injury, it is recommended to use a piece of wood to
push the distance metal sheets into the collector grooves.
The distance metal sheet will be sticked into the collector groove
to protect it against slipping out. The silicone strip should have a
length of 10 - 20 cm. Please note that the distance metal sheet
must be free of silicone residue to ensure the flow of rainwater.
