1 Owners Information Owners Information Congratulations on buying one of the most advanced solar hot water heaters in the world. As the owner of a Conergy solar water heater you may have some questions about the system and how it operates. Your solar water heater model is commonly referred to as an Active, Split or Ground Mounted open circuit or closed circuit system and is one of the most efficient solar water heater types available. 1.
1 Owners Information ENGLISH 1.3.1 What is an Open Circuit System? An Open Circuit System is one where the water used in the household circulates through the solar collector panels, thus transferring solar energy to the storage tank. This system type is used in locations where the ambient temperature never falls below freezing point (0°C or 32°F) and where the water quality is good – less than 600 ppm Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Open Circuit System 1.3.
1 Owners Information System components The main components of your solar water heater are the household water storage tank, the solar collector(s), circulation pump module & controller, heat exchange module (closed circuit models only) and the Ancillary Energy Support (AES) System. 1.4.1 Storage tank & solar collectors Open circuit tank, closed circuit tank, solar collectors The Conergy water storage tank is used to store the heated water ready for household use.
1 Owners Information ENGLISH water temperature falls below 60°C and will only consume electricity until the water temperature is increased to 60°C then turns off again. For gas AES systems a continuous flow gas water heater is fitted adjacent the storage tank in series with the hot water supply from the storage tank and the household hot water pipe work system. As the hot water from the solar storage tank passes through the gas heater its temperature is automatically monitored by the gas heater.
collector temperature rises above 190°C, the circulation pump will be initiated to reduce the collector temperature to below 185°C. This is to protect the collector from prolonged periods of extreme temperature. 5. 1.5 System Cooling. During the collector circuit temperature control operation, if the storage tank water temperature has risen above the set 70°C maximum, the controller will initiate the pump to reduce the excess tank temperature back to the set point of 70°C.
1 Owners Information ENGLISH 1.7 Important safety information | All water heaters have the ability to produce hot water very quickly. To reduce the risk of scald injury it is recommended that a temperature control valve be fitted to the hot water supply pipe work. This valve should be checked at regular intervals to ensure its operation and settings remain correct. Please check that the pressure & temperature relief valve relief pipe is not located where it can cause damage if hot water is discharged.
2 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting It is important to know that there are no user serviceable components in the system, and as such, it is recommended that no covers be removed and no adjustments made to the system settings by anyone other than an authorised Conergy representative. 2.1 What should I check before making a service call? If there is not enough hot water, it is recommended that the following points are considered before making a service call.
3 System Maintenance ENGLISH 3 System Maintenance The Conergy system is designed so that there is little to do regarding system maintenance. Personally inspecting or servicing the system is not recommended. Should you decide to personally inspect the roof mounted solar collectors it is essential that you use all safety devices required to ensure your safety. Glass cleaning usually occurs by natural rainfall.
3 System Maintenance 3.3 ENGLISH 6. Manually open the pressure and temperature relief valve which will allow air into the tank. The water within the tank will flow out via the flexible drain pipe fitted to the cold inlet connection. Hold the valve open until the tank is empty. Closed Circuit Systems - solar transfer fluid When filling the heat exchanger with glycol it is essential that the main tank is filled with water prior to commencing.
4 Electrical Installation Instructions ENGLISH 4 4.1 Electrical Installation Instructions | All electrical work must comply with local regulations. | All electrical work must be conducted by a suitably licensed electrician. Connection for electric AES systems | The electric element is only connected in models using an electric AES system. No connection is made to the electric element for gas AES systems.
5 Gas (AES) Installation Instructions Gas (AES) Installation Instructions | All gas work must comply with local regulations including AS5701/AG601 and AS/NZ 3500.4. | All gas work must be conducted by a suitability licensed gas fitter. | Installation of the gas heater must be carried out in accordance with the installation instructions supplied with the gas heater. | Conergy systems only use approved gas heaters.
6 Warranty ENGLISH 6 Warranty The Conergy Solar hot water system that you have purchased comes with a comprehensive 5 year parts and labour warrantly. The terms of the Warranty and Guarantee are set out below. 1. Your solar hot water system and its components are covered by a 5 year warranty against defective factory parts or workmanship from the date your hot water unit or solar collector is installed.
6 Warranty 7. Freeze damage to open circuit systems when installed in frost affected areas. The warranty only applies to the hot water unit and solar collector or components in the hot water unit and solar collector and does not cover any plumbing or associated parts, including but not limited to; pressure limiting valves, stop cocks, non return valves, electrical switches, pumps or fuses, supplied by any person installing the hot water unit or solar collector. 8.
