Standard operation functions
∆
T control
- When the switch-on difference is reached, the pump is activated until
the differential temperature drops below.
Maximum tank temperature
- When the adjusted maximum tank temperature is
exceeded, the pump switches off.
Collector emergency shutdown
- If adjusted collector temperature is exceeded,
the solar pump is switched off.
System cooling
- If the temperature rises to the maximum collector temperature
the solar pump remains on until this temperature drops.
Minimum collector temperature
- a minimum set temperature which must be
exceeded before the solar pump is switched-on.
Antifreeze function
- If the adjusted temperature drops, the solar pump is switched
on to protect the fluid from freezing.
Tank cooling function
- In the evening, the solar pump continues running until
the storage tank is cooled down.
Tube collector function
- The controller measures an increase of heat rise in the
collector and adjusts operating time for maximum efficiency.
Heat generation measurement kWh (BTU)
- The heat generated is measured by
the volume flow and the temperature of feed and return sensors.
Operating hours counter -
Operating hours counter stores the solar operating
hours of the respective relay.
Manual operating mode
- For control and servicing, the operating mode of the
controller can be switched manually.
Heat dumping function
- Heat dumping function works independently from the
solar operation and activates the second relay.
Backup heating function
- Backup heating function works independently from
the solar operation and activates the second relay.
Second independent
∆
T control
- The switch on and off temperatures can be
adjusted separately.
Priority tank / tank rotation
- The controller checks the tank temperatures and
rotates or gives priority to charging tanks.
East / West collectors
- Two separate
∆
T controls activate each solar pump
based on collectors and the one-tank differential temperature.
Advanced operation functions
(some two-relay models)
Pump speed control functions
Pump speed control can improve system efficiency by reducing the flow to
the collectors on cloudy days to improve solar thermal transfer and reduce
electrical consumption. This is achieved by the differential temperature
value between the collectors and storage tank.
If the value for the
Δ
T switch-on is reached (e.g.
Δ
T on = 9º ), the pump
will start with 100% pump speed for 10 seconds, then reduce the speed to
the adjusted minimum pump speed (min. pump speed = 30 %, adjustable).
If the temperature difference reaches the set value (e.g.
Δ
T Set = 18º ),
pump speed will increase by 10 %. At any further rise of 3º
Δ
T the pump
speed will increase by 10% until the maximum of 100% is reached.
