ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for the purpose of heating potable
water. Its use in an application other than this may shorten its life.
MODEL TYPE
The Solahart Streamline
®
open circuit solar water heater system is designed for
the solar collectors to be roof mounted and the vitreous enamel lined solar storage
tank to be remotely installed at ground or floor level. The solar storage tank is
suitable for either outdoor or indoor installation and can be installed with Solahart
L, LCS or CSA2007 solar collectors.
This water heater is designed to be installed as an electric boosted solar water
heater with its booster heating unit connected to a power supply. The booster
heating unit is housed under the front cover located at the midpoint of the tank.
The system has a level of freeze protection designed to guard the system against
damage from freeze conditions (refer to
on page 16). The
system must be installed with the full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes
insulated and power must be available at the solar control unit to offer protection
against freeze damage (refer to
on page 44).
Freeze conditions occur below 6°C.
The system is not recommended for installation above 400 metres altitude. A
system has NO WARRANTY for freeze damage when installed above 400 metres
altitude or if the solar hot and solar cold pipes are not insulated in accordance with
the installation instructions or if power is not available at the solar control unit
(refer to
“Terms of the Solahart Warranty”
on page 4).
Note:
The Solahart warranty against freeze damage applies only to systems installed in Australia.
Although designed to be installed as an electric boosted solar water heater, the water heater may also be
installed with an in-series continuous flow or storage booster.
If this water heater is installed with an in-series booster, then the electric booster heating unit will not be
connected to a power supply and the references to the electric booster heating unit, thermostat and boosting
controls in this Guide will not be applicable to the installation. For information relating to the function and
operation of the in-series booster, refer to the Owners Guide and Installation Instructions supplied with the
booster water heater.
Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and efficient operation.
SOLAR OPERATION
The operation of the circulator is controlled by the combination of:
•
the hot sensor located at the outlet of the solar collectors.
The hot sensor measures the water temperature at the outlet of the solar collectors.
•
the cold sensor located at the solar cold outlet at the base of the solar storage tank
The cold sensor measures the water temperature at the bottom of the solar storage tank.
•
the differential controller located in the solar control unit.
