Maximum of 5 collectors may be connected with threaded fi ttings in a row. The next collector shall be connected
via a compensator. Further max. 3 collectors may follow, connected with threaded fi ttings. It is advisable to
keep the connection piping from collectors as short as possible. The recommended pipe diameters and fl ow
rates through collectors in different connection schemes are shown in Tab. 1.
All solar components must be carefully and safely sealed and must be made of material resistant to glycol and
temperatures up to 160 °C.
For connection piping we recommend using KOMBIFLEX stainless-steel fl exible pipes, or copper pipes
connected by soldering. In no event plastic tubes can be used for inlet/outlet piping as they do not meet
the requirements for solar systems.
Pipes for collectors can be lead through disused chimneys, ventilation shafts or grooves in a wall. In order to
prevent high thermal losses through convection, open shafts shall be properly sealed. Also thermal dilatation
shall be remembered and pipes
fi tted with compensators or other compensation elements. Piping shall be
connected to the house earthing.
Pipes of the solar system must be fi tted with thermal insulation e.g. of AEROFLEX type, so that thermal
dissipation from the pipes does not deteriorate a total ef fi ciency of the solar system. The thermal insulation
must be resistant to temperatures up to 160 °C, for outdoor piping also a UV protection is essential as well as
non-deliquescence of the material. For indoor piping, the thermal insulation should be at least 13 mm thick, for
outdoor piping at least 19 mm.
6 Temperature Probe Positioning
• place the thermal probe into the pocket of the T- or X-piece at the outlet from the last collector, see pic. 27
• use a twisted wire 2x1 mm
