5.2Filling solar heating system

5.2.1Filling solar heating system with glycol

Note

No special safety measures are required when working with the diluted glycol solution specified by the manufacturer. For more information about the fluid, please contact the manufacturer.

Warning

Before filling the solar heating system to replenish the heating fluid, make certain that:

-The appliance is switched off (10.2 "Shut the appliance down for a brief period ("OFF mode")").

-The solar heating system is switched off. Refer to the documentation of the solar heating system.

-The appliance has cooled down sufficiently to prevent personal injury (burns).

Note

The filling procedure described in this manual is intended for the pump system supplied by the supplier of the appliance. For any other system, you should follow the procedure for that system.

Warning

To avoid contaminating the glycol, you should flush the solar heating system through with water before filling.

Flushing with water

1.Connect a water supply to the filling point of the pump station.

2.Connect a drain hose to the drain point.

3.Open the taps of both supply and drain point.

4.Open the water supply tap.

5.Allow the system to spool through until no further contamination comes out of the drain hose.

6.Then shut off the water supply.

7.Drain all remaining water from the system.

8.Now you can fill the system with glycol.

Filling with glycol

1.Insert the hose of the glycol pump into the jerry can containing the glycol.

2.Tighten the pump onto the jerry can using the swivel.

3.Connect the hose of the glycol pump to the inlet combination of the pump station.

4.Open the valve of the inlet combination.

5.Plug the glycol pump into a mains socket.

6.Start the glycol pump using the ON/OFF switch on the glycol pump.

7.Stop the glycol pump as soon as the pressure gauge on the pump station begins to rise.

8.Completely bleed the system of air at the air bleed point (26, see installation diagram).

9.Close the air bleed when no further air comes out.
