1 Installation Information
You are installing one of the most advanced solar water heaters in the world. This manual provides
you with the essential information needed to install the Conergy Thermosiphon System correctly.
Please read it carefully and follow all the instructions. We hope you find the following information
useful.
The environmental benefits
A Conergy solar water heater is an excellent and economic energy solution. By using the sun’s heat
to heat our water, we cut down on the amount of fossil fuels needed to be burnt to supply electricity
to do the same.
Why Conergy?
Conergy offers Australia’s largest range of renewable energy products and our company operates
in 25 countries on 5 continents. Our products are used in 100 000’s of Solar Home Systems for Hot
Water and Solar Electricity worldwide and we offer the leading products in this technology.
Before you can sell in Australia, or achieve any of the State or Federal Government rebates, your
product must comply with the rigorous Australian Standards for solar water heaters. Our products
comply with all these standards. The Federal Government Renewable Energy Certificate program,
called RECs, is an indication of solar efficiency. If you compare any of the Conergy products with
an equal competitor model, you will find that Conergy systems often achieve more RECs than our
competitors.
How does the system work?
Under normal operating conditions the potable water within the potable storage tank is heated by
the solar collectors. For example, in an open circuit system where the household hot water is in the
collector circuit, cold water is pushed downwards via the long external pipe from the storage tank to
the bottom of the solar collector. As the water is heated in the absorber by the sun, it rises to the top
of the collector then travels through the short external pipe into the storage tank.
The Conergy TS solar water heater is supplied in kit form so that the installer can assemble and
connect the solar water heater in various configurations to suit the installation location and user
requirements. Typically the kit contains the four main components of your solar water heater system
which are the potable water storage tank, the solar collector(s), the Ancillary Energy Support (AES)
System and the parts box, containing pipes fittings and mounting rails to interconnect and mount the
system. Please note the AES system can be either electric or gas operated dependent on the model
purchased.
