The installer should notify the customer of how the equipment works,
the inherent dangers, and the rights and obligations of the customer.
The installation of thermodynamic equipment geared to heating
sanitary water should be performed by personnel who are qualified
and skilled in relation to the same.
The appliance should not be installed in locations subject to the risk of
impact or explosion.
Keep the equipment in its packaging until the time of installation.
Ensure all hydraulic connections are duly watertight prior to turning
on the electrical power.
The gas used in the entire process is R134a, free of CFCs, non-
inflammable and harmless to the ozone layer. Thus, the gas present
when this equipment is used may not be released into the atmosphere
by law.
The gas present when this equipment is used should be handled by a
qualified technician.

WARNING
WARNING
SAFETY (cont.)
Maintenance of the equipment should be carried out by the support
service, performing the general and continuous cleaning operations,
which may/should be executed by the users themselves.
The electrical power of the equipment should always be turned off
during maintenance operations.
The supplier recommends the equipment be inspected at least once a
year by a qualified technician.
The operating principles of this equipment are directly associated
with high temperatures and pressures, thus all the processes involved
with the equipment should be designed to avoid the risk of burns and
explosion.
SAFETY
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The
SolarBox
Thermodynamic Solar System is a piece of equipment
based on the principle of cooling by compression – the Carnot
principle – which we have named
Thermodynamic Solar Systems
:
Solar Panel and a Heat Pump. The
solar panel
, which is the main
component, placed outdoors, ensures the capture of energy from:
Direct and diffuse solar radiation
Outdoor air, via natural convection
The effect of the wind (almost always existent)
Rainwater
The temperature difference caused by the aforementioned external
agents ensures the Klea (ecological refrigerant fluid) evaporates inside
the solar panel.
The absence of glass in the panel ensures increased heat exchange via
convection.
After passing through the panel, the Klea is sucked in by the
mechanical component of the system, the
compressor
, raising the
temperature and pressure of the same; which in turn is transferred to
the water circuit by means of the
panel heat exchanger
.
Before the Klea returns to the solar panel the pressure needs to be
reduced to guarantee it attains its liquid state once again, thereby
completing the cycle.
The ease with which we combine technology and the laws of nature
(alteration of the state of a fluid), demonstrates the veracity and
potential of
SolarBox
.
COMPONENTS
The entire process the supplier believes may imply danger
of personal injury and/or material damage shall be marked
with a DANGER SIGN.
As a means of further classifying the danger, the symbol
will be accompanied by one of the following words:
DANGER
: when the operator and/or people in the
vicinity of the equipment are subject to personal
injury.
WARNING
: when the equipment and/or nearby
materials are subject to material damage.
All the information the supplier believes may contribute to
the enhanced performance and conservation of the
equipment shall be marked with the information sign.
The electrical installation of the equipment should
comply with national regulations on electrical
installations in force.
SolarBox
will only work after receiving the respective
cooling load.
The maximum admissible water pressure at the input
to the hydraulic circuit is 300 kPa.
Electical power: 230V, 50 Hz
If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by
the manufacturer, the post-sales service or similar
qualified personnel in order to avoid danger.
SolarBox
will only work if the tank has been filled with
water.
This appliance should not be used by persons (including
children) with physical, sensorial or mental disabilities,
or with a lack of experience or expertise, unless
supervised by someone liable for their safety, or in the
event the same have been trained in relation to how
the equipment works.
