1.1 Commissioning - General
The Potterton Solar system uses a sealed system indirect
solar primary circuit which must be filled with the solar
heat transfer fluid provided. This is pre-diluted to the
appropriate strength (40% glycol/60%water) and should
not be diluted further. Use only the fluid supplied.
Additional canisters of solar fluid are available in 10 litre
(5119550) and 20 litre (5119549) bottles.
DO NOT
mix the fluid with other types.
The system should be filled when there is no direct
radiation from the sun. If direct radiation occurs the
collector panels should be shaded by covering them
during filling and flushing.
Although the solar heat transfer fluid is non corrosive
and biodegradable appropriate precautions should be
taken when handling.
- Wear protective gloves and goggles.
- Wash with soap and water if the fluid comes into
contact with skin.
- If fluid gets into eyes, immediately rinse with large
quantities of clear running water.
- A full safety and specification sheet can be obtained
by request.
The solar heat transfer fluid must be pumped into the
system.The pump can be electric or manual but must be
capable of producing a pressure of at least 2 bar.
The system should be thoroughly flushed to remove any
contaminants in the solar primary circuit prior to filling
with the heat transfer fluid
