3.3 Routine Maintenance
Thermal Collector
Always turn off the Air Conditioning System power at the power switch before conducting any
maintenance.
The water inside the solar collector and the copper piping entering and exiting the thermal collector
can reach temperatures of up to 85°C, please take care when chec
Take particular care with water exiting the water drain.
These instructions apply to both the Flat Panel thermal collector and the Evacuated Tube thermal
collector.
In most situations (when the indoor unit sits higher than the thermal collector) the water tank inside the
thermal collector is constantly topped up by the condensation drain pipe coming from the indoor unit
that is attached to the vertical inlet on the right hand side of the collector. In these this typical situation
the water level is constantly being topped up by the condensate and the water level only needs to be
checked once every 3 months.
If the condensation drain pipe from the indoor unit isn’t attached to the thermal collector the water level
needs to be checked every 2 weeks
If upon inspection there is water periodically exiting out of the water drain (the horizontal outlet on the
right of the collector) then there is no need to check the water level further as the water tank inside the
thermal collector is full.
Check the water level on the thermal collector by unscrewing the Red Cap from the top left hand corner
of the thermal collector and removing the dipstick, ensure that the water mark is above the marking on
the dipstick.
If the water level is below the mark on the dipstick add water through the opening that you have removed
the dipstick from, the water tank inside the thermal collector is full when water starts to exit out of the
water drain.
Water added to the thermal collector must be of drinking quality, if your tap water is not of drinking
qual
-
ity then distilled water can be used.
Ensure that the dipstick and red cap are inserted back in their
The thermal collector can be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth, damp with clean room temperature
water.
