Solar hot water systems should be designed and sized correctly before commencing
installation. Proper design will ensure that a system is correctly sized to provide many
years of optimised performance and most or all of the required hot water when the most
solar radiation is available. However a supplementary heating system such as oil or gas
boiler, heat pump or wood boiler is required for months which have less solar radiation.
For large systems, Kingspan provides a system design service to technical design consultants.
This guide will illustrate and explain how a system should be installed to conform with the
Kingspan Environmental manufacturer guidelines for the Solar Thermal product models,
namely DF400, HP400, Varisol and FPW.
Using this guide
Stages of a solar installation are described in the following pages, with illustrations to
explain how to install the relevant components, and contains general recommendations
and important safety information.
Handling Guidance
❱
Tube and manifold boxes should be transported horizontally to prevent damage.
❱
Flat Plate Collectors should be stored vertically.
❱
Heavy goods should not be loaded on top of the kit boxes.
❱
Care should be taken when opening boxes to prevent scratches or sudden shocks to the glass.
❱
Do not use sharp objects to open the tube boxes.
Installation Guidance
❱
Unpack and install tubes and flat plates only after the manifold and pipe work has been
installed.
❱
With the HP400 and HP450 only, tubes may be installed after the system has been
filled, pressure tested and is ready for operation.
❱
The solar thermal system should have permanent power supply with a fused spur. It
should never be turned off except during maintenance.
❱
Do not leave the solar collector exposed to solar radiation when the solar loop and
manifold have been drained. Collectors left exposed in a dry state must be covered to
prevent possible long term damage.
❱
HP tubes must have a minimum elevation of 20˚ and a maximum of 70˚.
❱
The dark blue side of the copper within the tube is the active surface.
❱
For DF400 system and Varisol DF, a heat dissipation loop (heat dump) is strongly
recommended – please refer to the technical design guide. A heat dissipation loop is also
required for systems with a seasonal demand.
❱
The pipework of the solar collector loop is to be earthed and the collector is to be
lightning protected in accordance to local regulations.
Health and Safety Precautions
A solar panel installation must be performed in accordance with all Health & Safety
legislation and local building/planning regulations for the relevant jurisdiction.
Furthermore, the necessary electrical work required to install control equipment should be
undertaken by a qualified electrical contractor.
