1.1
Installing your new Conergy AS System
You are installing one of the most advanced solar water heaters in the world. This
manual provides you with the essential information needed to install the Conergy Active
System correctly. Please read it carefully and follow all the instructions. We hope you
find the following information useful.
1.2
Conergy quality
Before you can sell in Australia, or achieve any of the State or Federal Government
rebates, your product must comply with the rigorous Australian Standards for solar water
heaters. Our products comply with all these standards. The Federal Government Small-
scale Renewable Energy Scheme, called ST
Cs, is an indication of solar efficiency. If you
compare any of the Conergy products wi
th an equal competitor model, you will find that
Conergy systems often achieve more STCs than our competitors.
1.3
System Components
The Conergy AS Solar Water Heater is supplied in kit form so that it can be assembled
and connected in various configurations to suit the installation location and user
requirements.
Typically, the kit contains the five main components of your solar water heater system.
These are:
1.
Potable Water Storage Tank;
2.
Solar Controller Module;
3.
Solar Collector (s);
4.
Ancillary Energy Support (AES) System. Please note the AES system can be
either electric or gas operated dependent on the model purchased;
5.
Parts Box, which includes pipes, fittings and mounting rails to interconnect and
mount the system.
1.3.1
Storage Tank
The potable water storage tank is used to store the heated water ready for household
use. It is constructed of high quality vitreous enamel lined low carbon steel to provide
long life. The tank is insulated with a high density polyurethane material to ensure
minimal heat losses and maximum structural strength.
1.3.2
Solar Collectors
The solar collector contains a multi-tube copper water way system, bonded to a solar
absorber plate. This combination collects solar energy and transfers it to the fluid within
the collector circuit. The absorber plate system is enclosed in an insulated metal casing
covered with a high strength toughened glass sheet that protects the absorber system
from physical damage.
1.3.3
Ancillary Energy Support (AES) - also known as booster systems
The AES is used to heat part of the stored water on those occasions when there is
reduced solar activity, for example on cloudy days. The two options for an AES are
electric boosting or gas boosting.
