4 Installation

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.
