INSTALLATION SECTION 3

SOLAR STATION

Comprising:

Pumping Station, Expansion Kit, Pipe-Work Ancillaries.

The three main items are generally factory fitted by Andrews Water Heaters onto a frame to

form the èSolar Stationê. If the equipment is supplied loose please refer to the installation

instructions for the individual components.

This èSolar Stationê will require floor mounting and must not be wall hung. Due to possible

location of a voltage relay and collection tub access at the back of the frame is required.

Therefore the Solar Station must not be fitted up against a wall.

The ‘Solar Station’ requires a recommended distance of 500mm clearance to allow for

maintenance. It is essential that the correct pipe-work connections are followed for the

individual components.

NOTE: However the ‘Solar Station’ is supplied, it is important that the pipe-work is

fitted so that all the pump and ancillary equipment is connected on the return to the

collectors. This is to limit the temperature of the heat transfer fluid that the

equipment is exposed to.

CONNECTIONS:

FLOW: See Diagram Above

Flow to Collectors -A Flow to Solar Coil in Cylinder.-C

Return from Collectors -B Return from Solar Coil in Cylinder -D

Relief Valve: To be piped back to the fill tub. On the ‘Solar Station’ this can be hung from

the back of the frame. There should be no restrictions or isolating valves in the discharge

line. This is recommended to prevent loss of the solar heat transfer fluid.
