5.  Other system components:

a.   Anti-Scald Mixing Valve: Automatically 

blends the hot water and the cold water feed 
line to control the discharge temperature to 
an acceptable and safe temperature. This will 
also increase the amount of hot water that 
is drawn from the solar storage tank by not 
allowing the incoming water to fully temper 
the hot water stored inside the tank. 

b.  Expansion tank: Pre-charged with air to allow 

for the expansion as the heat transfer fluid 
expands and contracts with heating and 
cooling.

c.  Solar collector temperature sensor 

This sensor is wired to the solar controller  
and automatically turns on the circulator 
pump when the differential set point is 
reached between the solar water heater and 
the solar collector.

d.  Tank temperature sensor: The tank sensor 

is wired to the solar controller to measure 
the temperature on the bottom of the solar 
storage tank.  

e.  VELUX flexible piping: Pre-insulated 

corrugated stainless steel flexible piping 
designed specifically for VELUX solar loop 
piping.  VELUX has designed a special cone 
shaped fitting which ensures a tight and 
secure connection to collectors without 
requiring a gasket or o-ring seal.  

f.  Microbubble air separator: This automatic 

air vent is used in the solar system to allow 
air contained in the system to be released. 
The air vent valve is designed to work in 
high temperatures( as high as 350°F) with a 
propylene glycol medium. 

g.  Propylene glycol heat transfer fluid: Non-

toxic fluid used to transfer heat from solar 
collectors to solar storage tank. Includes 
corrosion inhibitors to prevent corrosion of 
solar loop components.
