Total Liquid Content of System
(Solar Comp Solar Piping)
Note:
Use this table to calculate the required amount of liquid content required for the solar thermal system.
1) Input the quantities for each listed item and the length of piping (in feet or meters) used in the system. Then multiply
each item by the liquid content listed for each item and input each item total in the Total Liquid Content column.
2) Add all of the individual liquid content totals to determine the total liquid content of the system.
* This lineset comes in 20 ft., 40 ft. and 50 ft. lengths (it combines two pipes for supply and return wrapped in
foam insulation). Example: A 20 ft. piping kit contains 20 ft. of supply and 20 ft. of return having a total length of 40 ft.
