1 Installation Information ENGLISH 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. 1.1 The environmental benefits A Conergy solar water heater is an excellent and economic energy solution.
1 Installation Information Storage Tank & Solar Collectors ENGLISH 1.3.1 Conergy TS 300 litre vitreous enamel tank LC collector The potable water storage tank is used to store the heated water ready for household use. It is constructed using high quality vitreous enamel lined low carbon steel to provide long life. The tank is insulated with a high density polyurethane material to ensure minimal heat losses and maximmum structural strength.
1 Installation Information ENGLISH For gas AES systems the electric element in the storage tank is not connected to an electricity supply. Instead a continuous flow gas water heater is fitted adjacent to the storage tank and in series with the hot water supply from the storage tank and the household hot water pipe system. As the hot water from the solar storage tank passes through the gas heater its temperature is automatically monitored.
1 Installation Information 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 ENGLISH 2 Troubleshooting What to check for during service calls If there is not enough hot water we recommend that the following points are considered as part of the service call. The most obvious reasons for a lack of hot water could be one of the following: 2.
3 System Maintenance System Maintenance The Conergy system is designed such that there is little to do regarding system maintenance. Should you decide that you want to inspect the roof mounted system it is essential that you use all safety devices required to ensure your personal safety.
4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH 4 Installation Instructions Important Notes | DO NOT commence an installation until you have satisfied yourself that all safety issues associated with working on and lifting components onto a roof have been addressed. | All work associated with the installation must comply with local authority regulations including AS/NZS 3500.4.2. Where these installation instructions and local regulations are in conflict, local regulations must prevail. 4.
4 Installation Instructions Connection and mounting part kits ENGLISH 4.3 The table below indicates the connection and mounting kits required for each model system: 4.
4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH | 4.5 The roof system must be carefully inspected to ensure it can support the systems weight once it is filled with water. Particular care must be taken where the front foot of the storage tank is located. Typically the tank front foot should be located over a tile batten, purlin or similar for maximum strength. If the roof can not support the load, additional bracing must be installed before the solar water heater is installed.
4 Installation Instructions System Installation Please note that the detail letters referred to in the installation text refer to the diagrams on page 12 and onwards. 1. Place one end of the bottom collector mounting rail (Detail E) at the location marked before (refer to point 2) and lay horizontally across the roof to the left. 2. Locate two roof trusses which are under the collector mounting rail (as near as possible to the outer edges of the rail).
4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH 18. For closed circuit models insert the 100 kPa closed circuit pressure relief valve into the ½” tank socket as shown in Detail A. Note this valve is not used on open circuit models. 19. Using the straps supplied with the Parts Kit place one into each side of the tank front foot as shown in Detail A. back leg so that they are over a rafter then screw fix in place to the rafter to secure the tank in place. Take the straps under the tank and screw fix to the roof rafter.

4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH 4.9.4 Pressure & temperature relief valve (P&T valve) Remember this valve can discharge very hot water, so carefully consider its location. Never discharge onto a solid surface like concrete. 1. Fit the 850 kPa/95°C (10 kW) pressure & temperature relief valve supplied in the parts box into the ½” brass tank socket adjacent to the hot outlet tube as shown in (Detail A). 2.
4 Installation Instructions 4.11 Draining the storage tank ENGLISH To drain the water from the storage tank the following procedure is to be followed: 1. Turn off and isolate the power supply to the electrical element. 2. Turn off the water supply to the water heater. 3. Release excess pressure from the tank by manually opening the pressure & temperature relief valve. 4. Disconnect the cold water supply pipe connection to the tank. 5. Fit a ½” flexible drain pipe to the cold connection at the tank.
4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH 4.12.1 Fill and test information and procedure | Cover Collectors for this procedure to prevent pressure variation due to thermal activity in the collectors. | The solar transfer fluid is of food grade and non toxic. However, care must be taken when handling not to spill or accidentally consume. Always use the solar transfer fluid as specified by Conergy and outlined above.
4 Installation Instructions ENGLISH 5. Using a bicycle pump or similar connected to the jacket relief valve, as shown to the right, pressurise the system to 120 kPa. 6. Check all fittings for signs of leakage and tighten if required. 7. Check over a 10 minute period that the pressure on the test gauge remains unchanged. 8.
