Function of the check valves
The check valves in this station prevent undesirable gravity circulation within their range
of use. The functioning of the check valves depends:
on the system height
on the temperature difference between storage tank and collector
on the solar fluid used
On the diagram shown below, you can see whether the integrated check valves of the
station are sufficient for your system. If the check valves are not sufficient, further
structural measures must be taken to prevent gravity circulation. You can install, for
example, syphons ("heat traps"), 2-way valves (zone valves) or additional check valves.
Example:
•
The station is equipped with two check valves
(2 x 200 mm wc = 400 mm wc).
•
You use a mixture of water and 40% strength propylene glyclol as the solar
fluid.
•
The system height between collector and storage tank is 10 m.

Temperature between collector/storage tank in K
Result:
The check valves prevent gravity circulation up to a temperature difference of approx.
62 K. At a higher temperature difference between collector and storage tank, the differ-
ence in density of the solar fluid is so large that the check valves are pressed open.
