1.1 Installing your new Conergy TS System
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.
1.2 Conergy quality
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 Small-
scale Renewable Energy Scheme, called STCs, 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 STCs than our competitors.
1.3 How does the system work?
Under normal operating conditions the potable water within the storage tank is heated
b
y 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
t
o
the bottom of the solar collector. As the water is heated in
the absorber by the sun, it rises to the
t
o
p
of the collector then travels through the short
external pipe into the storage
