The data badge has been applied to the top of the solar
cylinder by the manufacturer.
1.3 Safety devices
The Flurocyl solar cylinder has been provided with all safety
and control devices suitable for operation as part of an
unvented domestic hot water supply system.
Temperature and pressure relief valve (95°C, 7 bar)
Pressure limiting valve (3.5 bar) with line strainer
Expansion relief valve (one port valve, 6.0 bar)
Thermal cut out set to 90°C, connected to the solar pump in
order to isolate this heat source in the event of failure of the
solar control.
Thermal cut out of the immersion heater
Thermal cut out set to 90°C, connected to the motorised
port valve, in order to isolate the primary heat source in the
event of failure of the domestic water thermostat.
1.4 Safety regulations

1.7 Solar Cylinder Charicteristics
Flurocyl solar cylinders are available in three sizes: 00, 50
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
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 mm
diameter. A cold water supply of appropriate pressure and
flow rate is required to operate the solar cylinder ideally, refer
to section .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 fitted and set.
A themostatic mixing valve must be fitted 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 fitted 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.
