4.5.4 CFR frost protection of collector

 

Description: 

In  winter  when  the  temperature  of  collector  is  below  the  preset  frost  protection 

temperature  (factory  set  is  4

o

C),  Solar  circuit  pump  is  triggered.  Besides  when  tank 

temperature  (T2)  drops  to  4

o

C,  electrical  heater  is  triggered  automatically  and  it  is  in 

operation until T2 is heated up to 20

 o

C or it is stopped when program of CFR is exited. 

When collector temperature rises up to 7

 o

C, solar circuit pump is ceased, program of 

CFR exits automatically.   

 

This  function  is  used  in  system,  which  use  water  as  heat  transfer  liquid,  to  avoid  the 

freezing of solar heat transfer fluid.
