- The study contains preliminary assortments of collectors and sub-assemblies of the installation.

- One should design the ultimate selection and the assembly of devices on the base technical
executive (individual for every investment)

- The study isn't replacing detailed recommendations of sub-assemblies contained in operating
manuals of the solar set.

1. Warranty conditions of the installation and use of the collectors ES2V/2,0AL with aluminum
absorber

1) It is allowed to use only solar fluids that is accepted and offered by the producer, e.g.
ENSOLICOL-AL -30,

2) It is allowed to wash the solar thermal system and perform the leak test only with solar fluid,

3) The solar thermal system must be closed (hermetic):
the solar system can not contain automatic vents (potential place through the installation can
get into air),
before the first start, the solar system must be completely deaerated, and be leakproofed by
the plumber,
any leaks are associated with getting air into the solar thermal system with maximize the risk
of corrosion. Once air get into the solar system the solar fluid must be replaced.

4) It is allowed to use only connections systems that are offered by the producer,

5) It is recommended to do the solar system with flexible stainless steel tubes or steel tubes. It is
forbidden to connect directly the connector pipe of the collector witch any copper or brass parts
of the solar system witch increases the possibility of electrochemical corrosion.

Minimal capacity of storage bin is 40l on each 1m2 netto surface of collector (at
assuming the constant drawing of warm functional water.

6. Selection of connecting elements scheme
6.1 Connecting of collectors ES2V for vertical assembly with meander absorber
6.1.1 Connecting up to 10 meander collectors ES2V







Collectors types ES2V can be connected parallel in series area (batteries) max 10 collectors

6.1.2 Connecting to 10collectors with absorber as a sectional harp ES1V.












Connecting in Tichelman system should be used when more than 10 collectors are connected.
Single collectors are connected parallel in series area (batteries), and the batteries are connected
in Tichelman system shown on the drawing.

6.1.3 Connecting more than 20 meander collectors ES2V



















If there are more than 20 collectors in instalation, distributor should be used. Distributor should be
equipted in rotameters (for return) which indywidual area of collectores are connected with.

Attention: For the sake of minimizing losses of the warmth are recommending making the
shortest power cords possibly (high parameter) like in above pictures

7. The diameter of copper pipes and the required rate of flow.

If on the solar controllers there is a possibility of programming the flow of min and max, recommend -
- programming the lower limit of the optimum flow as a the minimum, and as the maximum of the upper limit
of the optimum flow
-It is recommended to set the upper limit of the optimum flow on rotameter.

bag in expansion tank!

If on the solar controllers there is a possibility of programming the flow of min and max, recommend -

Programming the lower limit of the optimum flow as a the minimum, and as the maximum of the upper limit
of the optimum flow

-It is recommended to set the upper limit of the optimum flow on rotameter.

Detailed selection of solar instalation on Ensol collectores is possible to achive in Polysun programs
or Getsolar.

10. Mistakes done in the solar instaltion
description Cause and proceeding
1 High temperature of the collector, low
temperature in the water tank after long waiting
time
Check the flow of the solar fluid, because:
- circular pump does not work
- air-bound installation
- low level or absencje of solar fluid
2 Reaching often max. temperature of water in the
tank
- reduce the surface of the collectors
- change the tank to a bigger or put a
second tank in cascade
- set the night cooling or crash dump
3 Not data about the generated thermal energy - check the flow of the solar fluid
- check if the flow rate is adjusted correctly
- check the scheme on the controler
4 Leak of the slor fluid from the safety valve - to low pressure value on the valve
opening
- broken safety valve
- to hight pressure of the expansion vessel
- to low volume of the expansion vessel
5 Solar fluid is freeazing over the declared freezing
temperature
- broken solar fluid overheated
- to small concentration watered down
solar fluid
- replace the solar fluid
6 Knocking during filling up the instaltion - heated collector, to low temperature of the solar
fluid
7 Steamed collectors in the porning, steam
disappear
- high humidity natural convection in the
collector
