10.2.2 Solar DHW system with gas tankless water heater booster
and recirculation loop
Similar to 10.2.1 with domestic hot water recirculation added. The
tankless water heater only runs when solar heated water needs a
boost. Buffer tank provides small amounts of DHW instantly and
increases comfort by smoothing out DHW temperature. See
applicable models listed in the fi gure below.
 Thermostatic valve 1 ensures that warm solar water bypasses the
water heater and directs cooler water through the appliance
when reheating is needed.
 Thermostatic valve 2 acts as a tempering valve that brings
potentially hot water temperatures down to a level that is safe for
the users.

System parameters:
 Honeywell AM101 Thermostatic Valves required for proper
operation;
 Remove check valves from Thermostatic Valve 1 as it is used as a
diverter valve;
 Thermostatic Valve 2 is a tempering valve;
 Recommended setpoint 120°F for both Valves;
 Set tankless water heater temperature to 140° F
 Ariston mini tank will provide increased temperature stability and
quicker hot water delivery. (recommended but not required)
 Choose size of the Ariston mini tank to match the volume of the
recirculation loop
See Chapter 5 for recirculation pump parameters
