The user varies from installation to installation but has a big influence on the operation of the solar thermal system. However, the system has all components to ensure the provision of the comfort levels that the user expects.

3.3.2 Function of a solar thermal system

Bearing in mind the function of the individual components, the function of a solar ther- mal system is in principle very simple. Based on two measured temperatures, one in the hottest (T1) and one in the coldest (T2) part of the system, the control unit switches the pump either on or off depending on the temperature difference between T1 and T2 and the temperature reached in the storage device. The location of the tempera- ture sensors is indicated in Figure 7.

If T1 is greater than T2 plus an additional temperature differential (called ΔT ‘delta T’), the circulation pump is being switched on by the control unit to transfer the energy from the collector into the storage device. As soon as this on condition is not given, the pump is being switched off.

The solar control unit also ensures that the water in the cylinder is not being heated above a set temperature which can be freely chosen and is measured by the tempera- ture sensor T2.
