NO PRESSURE EVACUATED TUBE SYSTEM
*The thermal performance of the systems have been established by the South African Bureau of
Standards in terms of SANS 6211, at an incoming radiation of 16MJ per m² per day, a temperature
differential of 10°C and at an inclination of latitude plus 10°.
**Q-factor is calculated in mega-joules whereas the energy rating is calculated in kilo-watt hours.
The energy rating is calculated by converting the q-factor into kw/h. The specific thermal capacity of
the EHS No Pressure collector is 12.6MJ/D.

Health and Safety
3.1
General
This system is capable of heating water above 90 degrees Celsius. Water above 50 degrees can cause
scaling and serious burns. Under certain conditions the system can expel excess hot water above 90
degrees as a safety measure to avoid overheating and over pressurizing. This water is expelled
through the overflow port on the main tank and/or cistern tank. Never close off these overflow
ports. Take care not to come in contact with water expelled from these ports.
3.2
Transport and handling
The following instructions should be considered when transporting and handling the solar water
heater:
Consider the maximum weight of the solar tank and vacuum tubes.
Take the dimensions of the total system into consideration
Do not lift the vacuum tube carton by the straps since they can break.
Avoid impact or mechanical forces on the vacuum tubes. When lose glass is detected, take
extreme care when opening the vacuum tube boxes. Use the required safety protection gear.
Remove any obstacles that could pose a trip hazard.
Do not damage the main tank or frame, since exposed parts will corrode easy.
3.3
Installation considerations
All installations need to be carried out in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Please take note of the following during installation:
Installation of the Solar water heater must only be performed by qualified installers.
Installation must comply with local authority regulations.
Ensure that the installation manual is available during installation.
Asses site specific risks and eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level to satisfy the health
and safety requirements.
Postpone roof work when weather creates unsafe working environment on the roof.
Do not remove or disable any safety devices.
Glass vacuum tubes can reach boiling point in a matter of minutes when exposed. Shade vacuum
tubes and fill with water before installing as part of the system.
