Insulate the pipe
For the installation of the pipeline system and power cord (including indoor and
outdoor parts) of the flat solar system, the pipeline shall go through the airway of the
house, and should not be installed in the flue; the indoor part shall be open line and
shall not bury the pipeline of the solar system and power cord in the cement without
any protection, as the connections of pipeline and the power cord may need
maintenance or repair. Upon installation, the user shall guarantee that the connections
of pipelines and the power cord are easy to maintain or repair. If the user installs the
pipeline of the system as conceal pipe, any economic losses caused by the leakage of
conceal pipe and other related reasons shall not be borne by our company.
If insulation is required, the full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes MUST BE
insulated.
There are many different kinds of water pipe insulation and many can be used on any
type of pipe. When doing research to see what kind of insulation you will need you
should consider the type of pipes you have, your homes age, and the climate in which
you live in. You will use this information to pick an insulation that has the correct R-
value for your needs. The R-value of a material is its ability to keep heat in or out of
the water pipes. This value is based on several factors including the type of material
plus its density and thickness. The higher the R-value the better of an insulator a
material has been found to be. There are five major types of water pipe insulation that
can be used on any type of pipe, each with its one unique advantages and
disadvantages.
First, there is spiral wrap fiberglass insulation which is the cheapest of all the options
but also has the lowest R-value of the group plus is the most labor intensive to install.
Second, is foam tubing that can seal itself. This kind of foam pipe insulation has been
