SOLAR WATER HEATERS – THERMOSYPHON SYSTEM

A. System Description.

1. The Solar hot water system should be of the Thermosiphon type. The entire system should
be factory pre-assembled comprising an aluminum high power collector with a 300 litre
integrated storage tank and built in Electric back up heating element.
The solar hot water system should employ the Thermosiphon principle and shall be tested
and approved considering over heat protection according to EN 12976-2. The internal closed
solar circuit of the system shall use special solar liquid glycol as the heat transfer medium.
The quantities of the solar water heating systems shall be in line with what is shown and
scheduled in the drawings. The system shall be complete in all ways and shall include all
mechanical and electrical accessories necessary for a fully functional solar hot water system.
It is the responsibility of the specialist supplier to verify and ensure that the locations of the
solar panels and its arrangements is in such a way to provide most efficient operation.
