GENERAL INFORMATION
In the present manual you will find all necessary instructions with regard to the installation, operation and
maintenance of the product.

The company is active in the Solar Energy Field with high-tech equipment, ultra-modern facilities and certified
products of high quality. Our experience and know-how support our co operations, before and after sales, both in
Europe and internationally.

Nowadays, the necessity for production and saving of energy without at the same time polluting the environment has
become common knowledge. The planetʼs conventional energy resources are diminishing to a threatening level as
our societyʼs energy requirements are increasing, generating pollutants that affect the climateʼs balance. Renewable
energy sources promise a solution to the energy problem as well as to pollution. Gradually, the international legislation
is changing and encouraging - or even imposing - the use of alternative energy products, with the aim to satisfy
energy requirements without endangering the environment.

DOMESTIC HOT WATER CONSUMPTION


Statistically, it is estimated that the mean family consumption is 35 to 50 litres daily per person. If we add the
consumption of a washing machine and a dishwasher, when these are connected to the solar water storage tank, then
each requires 20 litres per day (per wash). Thus, a family of four, for example, with a mean hot water consumption
of 40 litres per person, needs an 160 litres solar water heater. If household appliances connected to the solar water
heater are added, then the demand increases by at least 40 litres daily. In order to take full advantage of the solar
water heater, maximum use of hot water should be made during daytime, so that the system can continuously
produce hot water during the daylight hours, maintaining thus its maximum efficiency.

SOLAR WATER HEATER OPERATION - WATER HEATING


The collecting surface absorbs solar energy and heats the liquid (water or antifreeze mixture) that circulates in the
water element. This liquid when heated becomes lighter and is directed to the water storage tank where it heats the
water. The flow of the collector’s liquid is accomplished naturally and not forced (thermosiphonic flow).
The factors that affect the temperature of the water supplied by a solar system are many and their values vary according
to the season, the time of day and the location. Keeping in mind that the solar system is a system that is exposed to
the weather conditions, basic parameters affecting its performance are the mains water temperature, the available
solar energy and the ambient temperature. The mains water does not have a constant temperature throughout the
year, being much colder in winter compared to summer. Considering 45°C as a satisfactory temperature for the
domestic hot water (in order to fulfil the needs of a home) and based on statistic values, in winter the temperature
of the mains water has to be increased by approximately 35°C, whereas during the summer the increase is 20°C.
Similarly, the available solar energy does not remain the same throughout the year, being much less in the winter
months than in the summer months. During periods of reduced sunlight and low ambient temperatures, the solar
water storage tank assures the preheating of the water and is assisted by an electrical heating element or the
central heating water storage tank (triple action solar water storage tanks). As far as night-time temperature losses
are concerned, these are limited as much as possible by the solar system’s powerful thermal insulation. They are
nevertheless affected by ambient temperatures, which vary depending on the location and the weather.

RELIABILITY - HARMONY - AESTHETICS

CLASSIC Solar Systems constitute an ecological


proposal and an effective energy solution, combining high
output, autonomy, aesthetics, facility in the installation
and money saving. They are made of excellent materials
according to international specifications and have all the
certifications and tests that confirm their quality.

They are highly aesthetic systems, which can be


simply and quickly installed to blend with the traditional or
modern architecture of a building and to provide free hot
water almost the whole year round. Even in regions with
low sunlight they achieve the preheating of the water,
which contributes to a drastically reduced consumption
of conventional energy.

With the use of solar systems, thermosiphonic or forced circulation, is achieved energy saving of 70-100%. At the
same time the operation time of the water tank or electric resistance is decreased, depending on the sunlight of each
region and the system’s size, with simultaneous reduction of emission of carbon dioxide.

LABELING
CLASSIC solar water heaters are identified by two labels, one of them on the tank and the other on the collector.
On these one can find all the details of the system. The information provided is important for the future identification
of the system.

GENERAL INSTALLATION RULES
ATTENTION! Installation must be in compliance with local & national rules concerning water and electrical
installations (plumbing, electricity, hygiene, urban and others).

The solar system’s packaging must be removed at the site of installation in order to protect the device from shocks
during its transportation, making sure that the collectors are not supported on their pipe joints. Until installation is
completed, the collector’s glass must remain covered until the water storage tank is filled with domestic water, so as
to avoid the boiling of the filling liquid or the breaking of the glass. The plastic protective caps must be removed from
the water storage tank’s and the collectors’ pipe joints.

Installation location - shading: Prior to installation, a proper selection of the location must be made by the installer
(in agreement with the customer), and the surface must be checked (taking into consideration its static resistance),
so that it can bear the weight of the system.
On inclined roofs the system should not be placed between two beams but above a single one.
The position chosen for the solar water heater installation should not be shaded by any obstacles such as trees,
buildings and other all year round, so as to ensure at least 4 hours of uninhibited exposure of the collector to the sun
during the midday hours.

LATITUDE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE OBSTACLE AND THE COLLECTOR (L)


0° - 25° 1.0 x H
26° - 35° 1.5 x H
36° - 45° 2.0 x H L

H
46° - 50° 2.5 x H
> 50o 3.0 x H

N S
Orientation - optimum angle: a basic factor for the system’s optimum
performance is the selection of its angle and orientation for its particular
location and the time during which the maximum gain is required.
The solar system should be positioned so that the collector’s surface
faces the geographical south, if the installation takes place in the
S N
Northern Hemisphere (and the geographical north for the Southern
Hemisphere), i.e. it should always face the Equator.
Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere

Any deviation means a reduction in the system’s performance. If a deviation from the proper orientation cannot
be avoided, then the system’s performance should be corrected by increasing the collector surface, following a
study and evaluation of the specific conditions that apply. As the sun ray’s angle of attack varies with time but also
depending on the system’s location, the collector’s angle should be approximately equal to the installation location’s
latitude. At this angle the maximum energy gain on an annual basis is achieved.

Installation particularities: In case there is no compatibility between the surface where the solar water heater will be
installed (inclined or flat) and the standard equipment provided with the system, a different kind of equipment should
be used. The responsibility for the equipment chosen lies on the installer and in no case on the company. It is up to
the installer to propose & install the different equipment required, who must previously agree it with the customer.

Special weather conditions: In regions suffering from heavy snowfalls, please make sure that the snow is always
timely removed. For this case and cases of regions with storms, high wind velocity, rainfall, cyclones, tornadoes, the
system must be placed on the roof as firmly as possible and must be tightened with extra metal stripes. In areas
where these conditions occur and hail of more than 20mm in diameter is to be observed, it is recommended that
insurance for the solar water heater is issued. In every case, it is recommended to secure your solar water heater on
the support base system with more metal belts than those provided.

18 SWH/CL
SOLAR WATER HEATERS

Piping: the routing of the piping and cabling must be agreed upon between the installer and the client, so as to ensure
the proper installation of the solar system in compliance with local rules concerning water and electrical installations.
Make sure that the tubes connecting the storage tank with the collector and the piping to/from the water heater
are insulated in such a way that they can withstand temperatures covering the range of: -30°C to 120°C. Anti-UV
protection must be used for the insulation.

Antifreeze Liquid: The special heat transfer medium used in the closed circuit protects the system from freezing and
from salt accumulation inside the collector tubes. The jacket in which the heat transfer medium’s circulation takes
place, does not communicate with the water tank. The thermal fluid must be well mixed with water in a percentage
that is necessary to protect the system. The responsibility for the appropriate heat transfer medium quantity as well
as for the use of other liquid than the one accompanying the solar water heater lies on the installer and in no case
on the company.
The use of water or inappropriate liquid may annul the warranty validity.
After the installation is completed, the area where the work was executed should be clean & tidy. The warranty
should be filled in and the customer should sign it and immediately mail it to the company. The customer should fill
in the check list provided by the company. The company does not hold any responsibility that may be the result of an
inappropriate installation or incorrect use of components used for the solar water heater installation.

INSTALLATION POSITION
The installation is only allowed on roofs and flat surfaces of adequate bearing capacity. Before you proceed with the
installation, make sure that the roof and/or the construction is of adequate bearing capacity in terms of statics, always
according to the expected maximum loads at the installation point. If the installation is in a place with an extremely
big wind and snow load, the system as a whole should be statically checked by a skilled person, e.g a specialized
engineer. In special cases, strengthening or more solid constructions may be required.

For the proper operation of the system, the minimum recommended inclination angle of the collectors is 20 °

APOLLON AL COLLECTOR
WIND LOAD SNOW LOAD
INSTALLATION MODE [km/h] / [kΝ/m2] [kΝ/m2]

Inclined surface Inclination angle: 15° – 75° 151 / 1.1 1.25

Flat surface Inclination angle: 35° 151 / 1.1 1.25

Τhe system may only be installed in locations with lower wind and snow load values than the ones mentioned above.

Space requirements for installation on the roof (TILED ROOF)


For the installation on the roof the following points must be taken care of:

yy The minimum distances from the ends of the roof should be:
- From the sides: distance equal to the width of two tiles
- From the top of the roof: distance equal to three rows of tiles
yy The minimum distance limit of 0.8 m should necessarily be respected, in order for the collectors and the mounting
accessories not to be exposed to winds the power of which increases on the perimetrical edges of the roof.
Space requirements for free standing installation (FLAT ROOF)
The system should be installed at least 1.5 m away from the edges of the roof so as for:

1. The systems to be accessible for maintenance reasons.


2. The systems and the fixing system not to be exposed to strong winds which are developed at the ends and
edges of the roof.
3. The snow to be removed.
SWH/CL 19
GENERAL PREVENTION MEASURES

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM WITH THE COLD AND HOT WATER MAINS
The “COLD WATER INLET” and “HOT WATER OUTLET” sockets colored blue and red respectively are located on
the side of the water storage tank.

ATTENTION! The connections to the hot and cold water pipes should be made with union nuts and not by soldering.
1. Onto the “COLD WATER INLET” the hot water safety valve is screwed first, followed by a mini ball valve. The
cold water pipe is then connected to the ball valve with an insulated plastic pipe Ø15.
2. The “HOT WATER OUTLET” is then connected to the hot water pipe of the consumer network through an
insulated plastic pipe (Plastic pipes are recommended to minimize electro-corrosion).
3. Filling the water storage tank WITH WATER: With the ball valve and a hot water tap open, the water storage tank
is allowed to be filled with cold water. When water starts to run out of the tap, the water storage tank is full and
the hot water tap can be closed.

CLOSED LOOP FILLING


ATTENTION! Before starting to fill the closed loop with anti freeze liquid, the water storage tank has to be completely
filled with water.

1. The antifreeze is diluted with clean water in a container and mixed until it is fully dissolved. The closed circuit
cannot be filled with antifreeze unless it is first diluted with water to a ratio of 1:1.

2. The solution is fed into the water tank from the top “CLOSED CIRCUIT
FILLING POINT” (2). Τhe “CLOSED CIRCUIT SAFETY VALVE
CONNECTION” (1) is kept open to ease the bleeding of the closed circuit
and is filled with water until full. Τhe filling should be done slowly (so as to
allow air bubbles to escape), and should continue until liquid overflows at
the filling inlet.
3. The female ½" plug is placed on one pipe joint at point (2) and the 3.5 bar
safety valve on the other at point (1).
4. The female ½" plug and the 3.5 bar safety valve are secured on the
respective water tank filling points.
5. The collectors are uncovered and the glass cleaned.
6. Following the completion of the installation, the appliance should be left for
24 hours without any hot water being used so that the closed circuit can
go into operation.
7. Joint sealing. Check for leaks and make sure that all pipe joints to the
collectors and the water tank, as well as the cold and hot water pipes
towards the system are properly insulated, in order to avoid thermal loss and protect them from frost.

ANTI FREEZE LIQUID is an advanced, propylene glycol based special product, designed and formulated in order
to ensure effective heat transfer properties at high or low temperatures. It is non-toxic and provides protection up
to -37°C (solution 55% v/v with water). It is especially designed to provide excellent anticorrosion properties. In

ATTENTION!
yy Any intervention - work on the solar water heater must be carried out only by specialized technicians and where
electrical components are concerned, only by qualified and licensed electricians.
yy All solar water heater service data must be entered on the respective chart on the warranty document (term of
warranty).
yy In areas where extreme weather conditions are common (hail storms, storms, tornadoes, etc.) it is recommended
that the appliance is insured.

POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


Before using the system make a final check. Open all the valves and check for any kind of leakage. Repeat the
inspection after 30 minutes. Check if the system is filled with water and antifreeze fluid according to the company’s
instructions. In case of any failure condition a specialized technician should be called in.

Following its installation, the solar water storage tank needs about 2 days in order to achieve its maximum efficiency.

For this reason it is recommended that there is no hot water consumption during the first two days following installation,
even if there is ample sunshine.

A basic periodic maintenance will assure the long life and high efficiency of the solar water heater.

yy It is recommended that the appliance is inspected in situ according to the instructions stated in the guarantee
twice a year and checked for possible damage (breaking) of the collectors’ glass, leaks in the connecting piping to
the mains and to the consumption system, inspection of the pipe insulation and cleaning of the glass.
yy If the collectors’ glass is broken, it should be replaced immediately.
yy It is recommended that the glass is washed at an hour of low sunlight to avoid damages due to expansion-
contraction, due to temperature changes.
yy If the fittings are worn (screws, pugs, piping, etc), these should be replaced at the owner’s cost.
yy The level of antifreeze in the closed circuit must be checked annually (as it could need toping up), to ensure the
efficient operation.
yy In cases where there is to be no use of hot water for long periods of time (e.g. during the summer holidays), it
is recommended that the collector surface is covered with an opaque cover in order to avoid the building up of
high temperatures, which could trip the thermoelectric fuse of the thermostat and cut the electrical circuit. (See
paragraph “RESETTING THE THERMOELECTRIC FUSE F”).
yy During the build-up of high pressure in the thermal tank, it is possible that the safety valve will open and water will
run out. This is a normal function that protects the water storage tank from high pressures. If the mains pressure
exceeds 4 atm., it is necessary to add a pressure reducer - expansion tank.
yy Do not switch on the electrical heating element in the following cases:
Α) When the mains water supply has been cut
Β) When the connecting pipes have frozen and there is no water flow from the water storage tank to the taps.

Caution! Place taps with thermostatic regulation up to 38°C for hot water use to prevent burns which may be caused
by the high temperature water in the solar water heater.
