UNIQUE Temperature Limitation Safety Device HP400 collectors contain a unique patented temperature limitation device for system protection. The device is open and heat transfer occurs until the condenser reaches 95ºC Snap disks operate and close the device, stopping heat transfer into condenser Device re-opens as temperature falls below 95ºC, reactivating heat transfer

3 Simple Steps to Solar Hot Water Solar Collector You need to decide where your solar collector will be positioned on your house. To get the best efficiency, the collector should be installed facing due south at an angle of Vacuum tubes can be rotated to help compensate for less than perfect roof angles in order to maximize energy absorption. The Solar Panel Cylinder A twin coil hot water storage tank enables energy input from the central heating system to the top half of the tank and energy input from solar system to the bottom half of the tank. We recommend a stainless steel unit for use in a pressurised system and copper for use in an open vented system. Solar Collector size It is important that the solar hot water system is sized correctly in relation to the number of occupants in your house to maximize efficiency. There are two typical collector sizes for homes a 2m² collector for a home with one or two adults or a 3m² collector for one with three to five adults. Domestic Hot Water Twin Coil Solar Cylinder Pump Station and controller Condensing System Boiler Install with Confidence To ensure that you receive the highest standards of conduct, workmanship and customer service, Kingspan has introduced a national network of accredited installers, to bring peace of mind to those looking to install renewable hot water systems.

4 100 The installation of a Kingspan Solar system is designed to supply up to 70% of free hot water throughout the year. In the summer months it is estimated that at least 95% of all hot water is free. Therefore the boiler will be switched off, which means less contamination of the atmosphere from the emission of flue gases and lower energy bills. Solar energy is a free source of energy available throughout the year. By taking advantage of the knowledge in technology of Kingspan Solar you will be saving the use of fossil fuels which in turn helps the environment by creating less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that may pollute the atmosphere.
