1.7 Solar Cylinder Charicteristics
Flurocyl solar cylinders are available in three sizes: 200, 250
and 300 litres. The containers are made of stainless steel
and insulated with EPS.The cylinders are equipped with all
necessary cold and hot water control devices and a motorised
2 port valve.
The Flurocyl cylinders are operated at the pressure of the
water supply pipe and do not need a cold water tank for their
supply. They have hot and cold water connections of 22 mm
diameter. A cold water supply of appropriate pressure and
ow rate is required to operate the solar cylinder ideally, refer
to section 2.6.
Temperature control
The solar water heating control thermostat is part of the solar
control with sensor attached to the Flurocyl solar cylinder.
The cylinder includes the boiler and imersion heater control
thermostats that are factory tted and set.
A themostatic mixing valve must be tted to the outlet of the
cylinder and must be adjusted to the desired domestic hot
water temperature.
The cylinder also includes the solar, boiler and immersion
heater thermal cut outs that are factory tted and set.
The solar pump must be connected to the solar control via
the solar thermal cut out (TCO), It ensures the solar pump is
switched off if the hot water temperature in the cylinder rises
above 90°C.
Immersion heater
The Flurocyl solar cylinders are equipped with an additional
immersion heater of 3 kW, including the control thermostat
and thermal cut out. The immersion heater is situated behind
the front plate.
NOTE: In the event of a replacement, only the right immersion
heater equipped with a thermal cut out fur overheating
protection may be used.
