IMPORTANT: Ensure the cylinder pipes are connected
correctly - the pump station return assembly includes the
pump.
4.5 Automatic air separator
Air in the system impairs the efficiency of the solar system
considerably. Install an automatic air separator in the return of
the solar circuit, between the cylinder and solar pump station.
High temperature vapour is unlikely in this area. However,
check with the manufacturer that the device is suitable for
domestic solar system applications.
A suitable and effective air separator is supplied in all
solar packs or separately (item no. 0020054969). This is
recommended.
The air separator system works fully automatically and does
not need to be isolated.

The system must be bled whenever it is filled or subjected to
maintenance. Bleeding is performed constantly by means of
the automatic air separator system as long as the solar pump
is in operation.
Fit the protection vessel as shown in diagram 4.6.
The protection vessel must be mounted vertically. The flow
from the safety group must enter the vessel at the upper
connection.
