GENERAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Collector description
REGULUS Flat Plate Solar Collectors are designed for solar domestic hot water heating, backup and pool
heating. Solar radiation penetrates the glass and is intercepted by an ef
fi cient absorption layer applied on
a serpentine-shaped copper absorber. The heat is then transferred into heat carrier fl uid. The absorber is sealed
in a compact frame with high quality thermal insulation. The collectors are designed for all year round operation,
that’s why they work in a separate primary circuit
fi lled with antifreeze heat carrier. The collectors are not
intended for direct water heating.
Transport and handling
Collectors shall be transported in their original packing, in upright position (standing on their shorter side) or lying
horizontal with glass upwards, stack of max. 10 pieces of KPC1-BP.
Installation
The installation must be done by a skilled worker or a specialized company. During installation and before
commissioning, it is necessary to cover collectors in order to avoid overheating and possible burns caused by
the hot surfaces. If the collector shall be set on a roof, appropriate safety rules must be observed.
Collector placing
The glass absorption surface should be orientated to South, with deviations not over 45° (Southwest or
Southeast). For all year round operation the right inclination angle is 40° - 50°, for summer operation smaller
inclination is better (30°). The collector can be positioned also vertically (inclination angle of 90°, e.g. onto an
outer wall), that is the best for winter operation. The inclination angle must not be less than 20°.
It is recommended to install solar collectors close to the roof ridge due to a snow load in the winter.
Lightning protection
Lightning protection is obligatory for solar systems. When installed on a roof, collectors must be wired to lightning
protection equipment. Local standards shall be observed.
