Compact Solar Drainback System SECUSOL

Figure  1  SECUSOL-System

Operational Safety and Low Maintenance

When the pump is not operating, there is no solar fluid 
present in the collectors. Therefore the solar fluid and any 
downstream system components are protected against 
detrimental effects from overheat. Unwanted gravitational 
forces as well as operational faults due to air pockets are 
eliminated. A service intensive membrane expansion ves-
sel, air bleeds and check valves are not  required. Operati-
on with common anti-freeze solar fluid prevents potential 
frost damage.

High Yield Thanks To:

 

High transparency anti reflection glass

 

Single surface absorber with selective vacuum coating

 

Solid insulation of individual components

Simplified Installation and Start-Up

 

Pre-assembled unit of storage tank, solar controller and 
solar circulator, including all safety components.

 

Flexible  copper  double-pipe  with  only  12mm  cross 
section, for simple and time saving piping (supplied by 
Wagner & Co).

 

No expansion vessel and hence no setting of pre-pres-
sure required. 

 

Very simple flushing and filling

 

No venting of solar circuit required

Installation,  startup  and  maintenance  of  the  SECUSOL 
solar thermal installation are intended to be carried out 
by trained professionals only, e.g. in line with SRCC Stan-
dard OG-300 installation guidelines or NABCEP certifica-
tion. They have to be licensed, must be familiar with the 
IAPMO  Uniform  Solar  Energy  Code  and  must  conform 
to applicable federal, state and local regulations, codes, 
standards and meet all legal requirements related to the 
installation of solar hot water systems as well as plumbing, 
electrical wiring and roof works.
