2.3 Discharge pipework

The discharge pipe (D1) from the vessel up to and including the tundish is generally supplied by the manufacturer of the hot water storage system. Where otherwise, the installation should include the dishcarge pipe(s) (D1) from the safety devise(s). In either case the tundish should be vertical, located in the same space as the unvented hot water storage system and be fi tted as close as possible and wihtin 500 mm of the safety device, e.g. the temperature relief valve.

The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to per-sons in the vicinity of the discharge, be of metal and:

a. be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9 m long, i.e. discharge pipes between 9 m and 18 m equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger than the miminal outlet size of the safety device, between 18 and 27 m at least three sizes larger, and so on. Bends must be taken into account in caluclating the fl ow reistance. Refer to the discharge pipe arrangement, the copper discharge pipe table and the worked example;

An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow BS 6700:1987 Specifi cation for design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages, Appendix E, section E2 and table 21.

b. have a vertical section of pipe at least 300 mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipework;

c. be installed with a continuous fall;

d. have discharges visible at both the tundish and the fi nal point of discharge but where this is not pos-sible or is practically diffi cult there should be clear visibility at one or other of these locations. Exam-ples of acceptable discharge arrangements are:

i. ideally below a fi xed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gully;

ii. downward discharges at low level, i.e. up to 100 mm above external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed areas, etc. are accpeta-ble provided that where children may play or otherwise come into contact with discharges a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility;

iii. discharges at high level, e.g. into a metal hop-per and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3 m from any plastic guttering system that would collect such discharges (tundish visible);

iv. where a single pipe serves a number of discharg-es, such as in blocks of fl ats, the number served should be limited to no more than 6 systems so that any installation discharging can be traced reasonably easily. The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe (D2) to be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent, i.e. in the dwell-ings occupied by blind, infi rm or disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation of an electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes place.

NOTE: the discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roofi ng felt and non-metal-lic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges.

Worked example

The example below is for a G½ temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. elbows and length of 7 m from the tundish to the point of discharge.

From Tabel 2.3.1Maximum resistance allowed for a strength length of 22 mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G½ temperature relief valve equates to 9 m.Substract the resistance for 4 No. 22 mm elbows at 0.8 m each = 3.2 m. Therefore the maximum permit-ted length equates to 5.8 m.

5.8 m is less than the actual length of 7 m therefore calculate the next largest size.Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28 mm pipe (D2) from a G½ temperature relief valve equates to 18 m.Substract the resistance for 4 No. 28 mm elbows at 1 m each = 4 m. Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to 14 m.As the actual length is 7 m, a 28 mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.

3. Commissioning

Before commissioning, check whether the water supply is open and the storage tank is full. Initial fi lling and commissioning must be carried out by a certifi ed specialist company!The entire system, including parts assembled in the manufacturer’s factory, must be tested to ensure that it is watertight and operational. The safety valve must be checked regularly to ensure that it functions safely.

We recommend that you have the system serviced annually by a specialized company.We recommend that the storage tank be cleaned and checked annually.Careful operation can save a considerable amount of energy. Do not run the storage tank at more than 60°C, as this results in heat loss and limescale.The ideal temperatures are 50-60°C.

4. Anode and water quality

In accordance with DIN 4753, the magnesium anode must be tested by the customer service department after 2 years for the fi rst time (after that annually) and replaced if necessary.In hard water areas scaling can be reduced by restricting the water temperature. For descaling see section 8.

5. Electrical heating element

Electrical heating elements may only be connected by certifi ed electrical installers in accordance with the corresponding switching diagram. The country-specifi c regulations in eff ect must be observed.The electrical heater (if applicable) must be descaled annually and also at regular intervals depending on the hardness of the water. A function control must be connected.

The electric threaded heating elements are only permitted to be used as backup heating.Only electrical heating elements with thermostat and thermal cut-out from VELUX should be used for this product.

Note: Electrical heating elements must never be fi tted without thermal cut-outs.

6. Warranty conditions

The vendor guarantees the storage tank enameling and rust-proofness for 5 years from the date of manufacturing, provided the protective magnesium anode has been tested regularly.All spare parts are guaranteed for 2 years.

5. Fill/Drain Fitting (6)

Use the fi ll and drain valves on the fi ll/drain fi tting to fi ll and drain the solar system (Figure 4).To drain the system, the slot in the spindle must be in a horizontal position (Figure 4b). Figure 4a: Drain Fitting

completely open.Figure 4b: Drain Fitting closed.

6. Flow Indicator (7)

The adjustment of the fl ow rate of the thermal carrier medium takes place by controlling the speed levels (I, II, III) of the circulation pump and the throt-tle in the fi ll/drain fi tting (Figure 4). The fl ow indicator shows the set fl ow rate (Figure 5). The indicator range is between 1 and 13 l/min.

7. Air Jet (8)

The residual air in the thermal carrier medium is collected in the air jet and can be vented manually by means of the venting nipple (Figure 1, pos. 9). To do this, attach the enclosed hose to the nozzle of the venting nipple and collect the escaping medium in a suitable vessel. Remove the hose after venting. Venting should only be performed by trained professionals. Uncontrolled venting can lead to malfunction of the solar system due to loss of pressure.

CAUTION! Risk of scalding!

The air and the thermal carrier medium escaping while venting the system can reach tempera-tures of over 100°C.Afterwards, fi rmly close the nipple. Monitor the system pressure while venting. If necessary, refi ll the solar system with thermal carrier medium.

Read volume fl ow values at this edge of the rotameter.

1. GeneralInstallation and service by qualifi ed personnel only.

1.1 Fields of applicationType ST: for solar thermal systems.

1.2 Connection and output dataMinimum input pressure at the air intake*at temperatures +50°C: 0,05 barat temperatures +95°C: 0,3 barat temperatures +110°C: 1,0 barPermissible temperature range: -10°C up to +110°CMaximum permissible ambient temperature: +40°C

*These values are valid up to 300 m above sea level. For higher elevations add: 0,01 bar/100 m.The minimum inlet pressure must be maintained in order to avoid cavitation noise.

Permissible fl uids:Water and water/glycol mixtures up to a ratio of 1:1. Glycol mixtures require a reassessment of pump hy-draulic data in line with the increased viscosity and depending on mixing ratios. Only approved marks of additives with corrosion inhibitors must be used in strict compliance with manufacturers’ instructions.

2. Safety Rules2.1 Safety Rules For The OperatorLocal regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed. Danger from electrical energy must be excluded (conforming to local or general regulations such as IEC, VDE, etc.).

2.2 Safety Rules for Inspections and Installation WorkIt is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that inspections and installation work are carried out by authorized and qualifi ed personnel only, having themselves made fully conversant with these instructions.Work must principally be carried out only with the plant switched off and at complete standstill.

2.3 Abnormal Operating ConditionsOperational safety of the plant is only ensured if used in accordance with these instructions. The limits stated there must not be exceeded under any circumstances.

3. Description of Product and AccessoriesThe pump ST/STL is a solar thermal pump with special hydraulic (pump housing coated) for using in solar thermal systems.Motor overload protection is not required. The motor operates non-overloading.

Speed setting:All pumps are equipped with a rotary switch in the terminal box to enable manual 3-speed control (1 = min) (2-3 = max). At minimum speed the maxi-mum speed is reduced to approx. 40 … 50%. The power input is reduced to approximately 50%.

4. Sitting/Installation4.1 Installation– Direction of fl uid fl ow must correspond with the

arrow on the pump housing (Fig. 2, pos. 1).– If using pump housings with integrated exhaust

cavity it must be observed that the connection for the vent or the vent pipe is vertical (12h position).

– When connecting the pump to the conduit of pipes, the pump can be secured against twisting using a spanner on the key surfaces which have been created for this purpose (Fig. 3).

4.2 Electrical wiring– Cable leads to be routed in such a way to avoid

any contact with pipe work and/or pump or stator housings.

– Check that the mains current and voltage comply with the data on the rating plate.

– Eff ect all wiring according to Wiring diagram (Fig. 4).– Pump/installation must be earthed in compliance

with regulations.

14. Safety precautions for the operator

5. Commissioning5.1 System fi lling and ventingThe pump is normally vented automatically after a short operational period. Short-term dry-running will not harm the pump. Direct venting of the pump, if necessary, is done according to the following procedure:– Switch off the pump,– close discharge isolating valve,– carefully slacken and remove the vent plug (Fig. 5).

Beware of possibly released hot liquid or vapour, depending on fl uid temperature and system pres-sure. Danger of scalding exists!

– Carefully move pump shaft several times by means of screwdriver,

– protect electrical parts from leaking water– Switch-on the pump– After 15 … 30 secs close vent plug again,– open isolating valve again.

ATTENTION! It is possible that the pump shaft jams with the vent plug open, depending on system pressure.The pump can become extremely hot, depending on the operational state of the pump or the pipe system (fl uid temperature). Danger of scalding exists when touching the pump!

1.2 Electrical wiring

The power supply of the controller must only be made by an external power supply switch (last step of installation!) and the line voltage must be 210 ... 250 Volt (50 ... 60 Hz). Flexible lines are to be fi xed at the housing by enclosed strain relief sup-ports and screws. The controller is equipped with 2 standard relays, to which the consumers e.g. pumps, valves etc. can be connected:• Relay 1

18 = conductor R117 = conductor R113 = ground clamp

• Relay 216 = conductor R215 = neutral conductor N14 = ground clamp

The temperature sensors (S1 up to S4) have to be connected to the following terminals independently from the polarity:

1/2 = Sensor 1 (e.g. Sensor collector 1)3/4 = Sensor 2 (e.g. Sensor store 1)5/6 = Sensor 3 (e.g. Sensor collector 2)7/8 = Sensor 4 (e.g. Sensor store 2)

The power supply is eff ected to the clamps:19 = neutral conductor N20 = conductor L12 = ground clamp

Please note: The relays are semi-conductor-relays for pump speed control – they need a minimum load of 20 W (power consumption of the consumer) for faultless function. If auxiliary relays, motor valves, etc. are connected, the condenser which is enclosed in the mounting material, must be connected parallely to the relevant relay output. Attention: for connection of auxiliary relays or valves, the minimum pump speed must be adjusted to 100%.

Dangerous voltage on contact! Electrostatic discharge can lead to damages of electronic components!

4.1.6 Operating hours counter

The operating hours counter adds up the solar oper-ating hours of the respective relay (h P/h P1/h P2). Full hours are shown on the display.

The operating hours added up can be reset. As soon as one operating hours channel is selected, the symbol is permanently shown on the display. The button (3) must be pressed for approx. 2 seconds in order to get into the RESET-mode of the counter. The display-symbol is fl ashing and the operating hours will be set to 0, if confi rmed by button within 5 seconds.

In order to fi nish the RESET-procedure, the button must be pressed to confi rm.

4.1.7 Heat quantity balancing

A heat quantity balancing is possible for the basic systems (ARR) 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in conjunction with a fl owmeter. For this purpose option heat quantity balancing in channel OHQM has to be activated.

The volume fl ow readable at the fl owmeter (l/min) must be adjusted in the channel FMAX. Antifreeze type and concentration of the heat transfer medium are indicated on the channels MEDT and MED%.

Type of antifreeze:

0: Water1: Propylene glycol/Antifreeze FS2: Ethylene glycol3: Vacuum antifreeze FSV

Please note: Channels FMAX and MEDT are only available during the activated option heat quantity measurement (OHQM).

The heat quantity transported is measured by the indication of the volume fl ow and the reference sen-sor of feed fl ow S1 and return fl ow TRF. It is shown in kWh-parts in the indication channel kWh and in MWh-parts in the indication channel MWh. The sum of both channels forms the total heat output.The heat quantity added up can be reset. As soon as one of the display channels of the heat quantity is selected, the symbol is permanently shown on the display. The button (3) must pressed for approx. 2 seconds in order to get into the RESET-mode of the counter. The display-symbol is fl ashing and the value for heat quantity will be set to 0, if the button is pressed within 5 seconds. In order to fi nish the RESET-operation, the button " " must be pressed in order to confi rm within 5 seconds once again.In order to cancel the RESET-operation, no button should be pressed for about 5 seconds. The control-ler returns automatically into the indicaton mode.

Please note: Channels kWh and MWh are only available during the activated option heat quantity measurement (OHQM).

4.1.8 ΔT-regulation

Initially the controller works in the same way as a standard diff erential controller. If the switch-on diff erence (DTO/DT1O/DT2O/DT3O) is reached, the pump is activated and after having got an impulse (10 s) a minimum pump speed (nMN = 30%) is run. If the adjusted nominal value of the temperature dif-ference (DT S/DT1S/DT2S/DT3S) is reached, the pump speed is increased by one step (10%). If the diff erence increases by 2 K (RIS/RIS1/RIS2/RIS3), the pump speed is increased by 10% respec-tively until the maximum pump speed of 100% is reached. The response of the controller can be adapted by means of the parameter "Raise". If the adjusted switch-off temperature is under run (DT F/DT1F/DT2F/DT3F), the controller switches off .Please note: Switch-on temperature diff erence DO must be at least 0,5 K higher than the switch-off temperature diff erence DF.

4.1.9 Maximum store temperature

If the adjusted maximum temperature is exceeded, a further loading of the store is stopped so that a damaging overheating can be avoided. If the maxi-mum store temperature is exceeded, is shown on the display (fl ashing).

Please note: The controller is equipped with a se-curity-switch-off of the store, which avoids a further loading of the store if 95°C is reached at the store. The symbols and (both fl ashing) are shown on the display.

4.1.10 ΔT-regulation (solid fuel boilders and heat exchange)

Maximum temperature limitation

The controller is equipped with an independent temperature diff erential regulation for which mini-mum and maximum temperature limations as well as corresponding switch-on and -off temperatures can be separately adjusted. Only possible for ARR = 2 and 8 (e.g. for solid fuel boilers or heat exchange regulation).

Is the adjusted value MX3O exceeded, the relay 2 will be deactivated. By falling below MX3F, the relay will be switched on again.

Minimum temperature limitation

When the adjusted value falls below MN3O, there-lay will be deactivated. By exceeding parameter MN3F, the relay will be activated again. Parallely, the switch on- and switch off temperaturediff erenc-es DT3O and DT3F apply for both: the maximum- and minimum temperature limit.

Recommendation: when using buff er tanks for system 8, following adjustments should be made: MX3O approx. 80°C/MX3F approx. 75°C.

Please note: the parameter MX3O and MX3F always apply to the heat sink, the parameter MN3O and MN3F to the heat source.

4.1.11 Limit collector temperatureCollector emergency shutdown

If the adjusted collector temperature limit (EM/EM1/EM2) is exceeded, the solar pump (R1/R2) is deactivated in order to avoid a damaging overheat-ing of the solar components (collector emergency shutdown). The factorysetting for the limit tem-perature is 140°C, but it can be changed within the adjustment range of 110 ... 200°C. is displayed (fl ashing).

4.1.12 System cooling

If the adjusted maximum store temperature is reached, the solar system switches-off . If now the collector temperature rises to the adjusted maxi-mum collector temperature (CMX/CMX1/CMX2), the solar pump remains activated until this limit temperature value is again underrun. The store temperature might continue to rise (subordinated active maximum store temperature), but only up to 95°C (emergency shutdown of the store). In order to recool the store to its maximum temperature, the use of the recooling function OREC is recommended.In case of active system cooling is shown on the display (fl ashing). Due to the cooling function the solar system can be kept operable for a longer period on hot summer days. A thermal release of the collector and the heat transfer medium is ensured as well.

4.1.13 Option minimum collector limitation

The minimum collector temperature is a minimum switch-on temperature, which has to be exceeded so that the solar pump (R1/R2) is switched-on. The minimum temperature is meant to avoid a steady starting-up of the solar pump (or solid fuel boiler charging pumps) for low collector temperatures. If the minimum temperature is underrun, is shown on the display (fl ashing).

4.1.14 Option antifreeze function

The anti-freeze function activates the loading circuit between collector and store if the adjusted anti-freeze function is underrun in order to protect the medium against freezing up or getting "thick" ( is shown in the display (fl ashing)). If the adjust-ed anti-freeze protection temperature is exceeded by 1°C, the loading circuit will be deactivated.

Please note: As there is only a limited heat quantity of the store available for this function, the anti-freeze function should only be used in regions with few days of temperatures around freezing point.

4.1.15 Oscillating charge

Respective adjustment values:

Factory setting Adjustment range

Priority [PRIO] 1 0-2Oscillating break-time [tSP] 2 min. 1-30 min.Oscillating charge-time [tRUN] 15 min. 1-30 min.

The above-mentioned options and parameter are only signifi cant for multi-store systems (system ARR = 4, 5, 6). If priority 0 is adjusted, the store swhich show a temperature diff erence to the collector are loaded in numerical order (store 1 or store 2). In general only one store is loaded at that time. For ARR = 6 parallel loading is also possible.

OCF / OCF1 / OCF2:Antifreeze function Adjustment range: OFF/ONFactory setting: OFF

CFR / CFR1 / CFR2:Antifreeze tempera-ture Adjustment range:-10 ... 10°CFactory setting: 4.0°C

Priority logic:

0 = Store 1/2 coequal1 = Priority store 12 = Priority store 2

Priority:

Oscillating break time / oscillating charge-time / collector rising temperature:

The controller checks the stores regarding loading facilities (switch-on diff erence). If the priority store cannot be loaded, the lower-ranking store is checked. If the lower-ranking store canbe charged, this is eff ected by the so-called "oscillating charge time" (tRUN). After the expiration of the oscillat-ing charge time, loading is stopped. The controller controls the increase of the collector temperature. If this temperature increases by the rise temperature of the collector (ΔT-Col 2 K, fi xed software value), the expired break time is again reset to zero and the oscillating break time (tSP) starts over again. If there after the switch-on conditions of the prioritys-tore are not reached, the loading of the lower-rank-ing store will be continued. If the priority switch has reached its maximum temperature, the oscillating charge is not carried out.

4.1.16 Recooling function

If, as a result of of the system cooling OCX, the store temperature is higher than the store maximum temperature (S MX/S1MX/S2MX) and the collec-tor temperature is at least lower than 5K, the solar system continues running until the store is cooled down to the adjusted store maximum temperature (S MX/S1MX/S2MX) via collector and pipes. In multi storage systems the recooling is generally eff ected at store 1.

4.1.17 Tube collector special function

If the controller measures an increase of 2 K com-pared to the collector temperature stored at last, the solar pump is switched-on to 100% for about 30 seconds to detect the present temperature of the medium. After the expiration of the solar pump runtime the current collector temperature is stored as a new reference value. If the measured tempera-ture (new reference value) is again exceeded by 2 K, the solar pump switches-on for 30 seconds.

SECTION III: SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEMSECTION III: SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEM

Should the switch-on diff erence between collector and store be exceeded during the runtime of the solar pump or the standstill of the system, the con-troller automatically switches over to solar charging.If the collector temperature falls by 2 K during the standstill, the switch-on value for the special tube collector function will be recalculated and the solar pump won’t be switched-on.

Application area: Vacuum tube collectors (possibly fl at plate collectors as well) in order to avoid switch-on delays during a store load, as well as to avoid a run of the solar pump during the night (the tempera-tures measured during the day can be "stored" until night by the vacuum in the collector tubes).

4.1.18 Thermostat function (ARR = 3)

The thermostat function works independently from the solar operation and can e.g. be used or use of surplus energy or an after-heating.

• AH O < AH FThe thermostat function is used for after-heating.

• AH O > AH FThe thermostat function is used for use of surplus energy.

4.1.19 Pump speed control

A relative minimum pump speed is specifi ed for pumps connected at the outputs R1 and R2 via adjustment channels nMN, n1MN and n2MN.

ATTENTION: When using consumers (e.g. valves) which are not pump speed controlled, the value must be adjusted to 100% in order to deactivate the pump speed control.

Pump is overheated, but no heat transfer from collector to the store, feed flow and return flow are equally warm, perhaps also bubble in the lines.

Bleed the system; the primary pressure of the expansion tank has to exceed the static pressureby approx. 0,5 bar, the system pressure has to exceed it by approx. 0,5 up to 1 bar (depending on the dimensioning of theexpansion tank); switch the pump on and off for a short time.

Is the collector circuit plugged at the dirt trap?

Switch-on-temperature difference ΔTon too large?
