GENERAL
SOLAR ENERGY CONTRIBUTION
Our planet receives a significant input of solar energy each
and every day. The power of this radiation in a given place is
dependent on the surface temperature of the sun, the distance
from Earth to the sun, weather conditions and atmospheric
diffusion (dispersal, reflection and absorption phenomena).
Summer and winter alike, the power of the solar radiation
reaching a surface perpendicular to this radiation is
approximately 1 000 W/m
2
. This figure will vary depending
on the angle of incidence on the receiver, the intensity and the
duration of exposure to sunlight.
In France for example, the average quantity of solar energy
received over one year is in the order of 1 115 kWh/m
2
.year
(1 050 kWh/m
2
.year for Lille where the average
annual exposure to sunlinght is approximately 1 600 h to
1 550 kWh/m
2
.year for Nice where the average annual
exposure to sunlight is 2 800 h).
It is therefore very advantageous to exploit this free,
non-pollutant energy to produce domestic hot water, heat
swimming pools and provide heating for buildings.
PERFORMANCE OF SOLAR COLLECTORS
The solar collectors currently on offer are capabale of
recovering 60 to 80% of the solar energy available in order
to use it to produce domestic hot water, provide additional
heating, heat swimming pools, for air conditioning or even
industrial processes.
The exploitation of solar energy by De Dietrich hot water
production systems is achieved by thermal conversion thanks
to the glazed flat or tubular collectors. A suitable heat-carrying
fluid stores up and transfers this energy to the exchanger in
the solar tank where it is stored for later use.

- the most profitable domestic hot water production
technology, compared with the acquisition of a traditional
water heater. Purchasing a solar domestic hot water production
system means an investment by making energy and
financial savings.
- using solar energy means protecting the environment.
This technology (which results in 1 to 1.5 tonnes less CO
2
per
year per family) is the only one that allows us to take effective
action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- choosing solar energy means liberating oneself from the
rise in the cost of traditional energies.
- finally, with De Dietrich solar domestic hot water production
systems, you have the guarantee of a mature, innovative
and perfectly reliable solution.

COLLECTIVE INSTALLATIONS FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER PRODUCTION
THE PRINCIPAL CONFIGURATIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DHW
Maintaining a temperature level capable of guaranteeing
domestic hot water requirements for collective solar production
systems necessitates an additional input of energy provided
by auxiliary equipment. Depending on the nature of the
requirements and their location, we can consider four levels of
constraints, giving us the following solutions:
- Centralised production of DHW with direct distribution
- Centralised instantaneous domestic hot water production
with direct distribution
- Decentralised production with direct or loop distribution
- Centralised solar preheating
As far as the collection of solar energy is concerned, two
differences can be noted between collective and individual
installations:
- The surface area of the collectors: installation is always done
according to the particularities of the site and the shade cast,
but commissioning is very particular owing to the large number
of solar collectors to be installed. The collectors as a whole are
referred to by the term: collector field.
- The solar exchanger: the ratio to be observed between the
collector surface area and the surface area of the solar
exchanger is 0.2 to 0.3m
2
of exchanger surface for 1m
2
of
collector input surface. For collector surface areas > 20m
2
, an
additional external exchanger must be installed. However, in
the case of a collective installation of smaller size (less than
20m
2
of collectors), the use of a solar tank with integrated
exchanger is possible.
Centralised solar storage and domestic hot water production with direct distribution
In this case, the auxiliary generator is a single item of equipment
located in the boiler room close to the solar storage tank.
For small installations, the exchanger is directly incorporated
in the solar tank, to choose in our range of tank B/2. The
back-up is either integrated in the solar DHW tank or external:
by electric water heater, tank B connected to a boiler or
plate exchanger maintaining the DHW distribution loop at
temperature.
The number and unitary volume of the tanks will be chosen
according to their performance and the space available in the
equipment room.
For larger installations, the solar exchanger should be outside the
tank. Our solutions with RSB tank + DKCS station are suitable for
these types of installation, as are our FWSs for solar preheating
systems with back-up outside the solar tank.

THE MAIN CANDIDATES FOR COLLECTIVE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Clients / operators
Any public collective or private company planning a solar
installation.
Design consultancy/consultant engineer
Any collective installation, if it wishes to take advantage of
ADEME subsidies, must undergo a study performed by a
qualified, independent professional like a design consultancy
or a consultant engineer. They are the ones responsible for
defining the constituent components of the installation and the
configuration diagrams. In the case of Guaranteed Solar Results
(GRS), it is up to the engineer to formalise them.
Guaranteed Solar Results (GRS)
Defined at the end of the 1980s, this concept covers an
undertaking on the sustainable provision of a certain
predetermined quantity of solar energy available from the solar
storage tank fitted to the installation.
The quantity of guaranteed solar kWh must be sustainable
(5 years) by the joint venture responsible for the design and
construction of the planned installation and, where applicable,
for its subsequent operation/maintenance.
The installation of a tracking system (CME) will allow the provision
of these data on a weekly basis (or over any other period if
necessary).
If the forecast results are not achieved, the joint venture must
implement suitable corrective measures or compensate the client for
the energy deficit level observed compared with its undertakings.
Exceptionally, small solar installations (less than 50m
2
approximately)
can be allocated a simplified GRS, which will be restricted to the
implementation of energy metering (calorie meter on the solar tank
outlet) and manual readouts (preferably weekly) of the useful solar
kWh delivered.
Installer
The installer must abide by the QUALISOL charter. He is
responsible for assembling the installation according to the
drawings and demands of the design consultancy. He can
also take care of its maintenance. It is through him that the
manufacturer of the solar panels takes part in the GRS.
SUBSIDIES FOR COLLECTIVE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
To encourage solar projects, ADEME has set up:
- design (decision-making) assistance mechanisms
- terms on help with work (heat funds)
To find out about the terms of entitlement to these subsidies,
consult the ADEME site: www.ademe.fr

COLLECTIVE INSTALLATIONS FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER PRODUCTION
Centralised solar storage and instantaneous domestic hot water production (anti-legionella) with direct distribution
Centralised solar storage and decentralised domestic hot water production with direct or loop distribution
Centralised solar preheating and individual back-up
This solution can be adopted in various applications. It can
be used in particular for the separate metering of the energy
consumed. Distribution is done either directly or by distribution
loops. The solar tank must be designed to achieve maximum
water stratification, which enhances the performance of the
installation. Here too, for large storage volumes, it is possible to
install several interlinked or parallel tanks.
The following configuration is also possible with an enamelled
type B or FWS tank.
In the configuration below, each apartment is fitted:
- either with an electric water heater,
- either with a boiler with instantaneous or mixed DHW
preparation,
- or a module of distribution of energy
This solution can provide a collector field shared by a building,
which preheats the individual solar calorifiers, also with their
respective individual back-ups. The solar volume assigned to
the installation will be the sum total of the individual volumes
of all of the tanks connected to the solar loop. This solution
eradicates the need for a collective boiler room and therefore its
maintenance.
This particularly compact solution is made using a FWS tank
equipped with a stainless steel exchanger located in the boiler
room designed to allow the connection of a solar circuit and
a boiler for auxiliary heating with a production or preheating
DHW in instantaneous. It is a simple, maintenance-free solution,
suitable for healthcare establishments, crches, schools, hotels or
any other installation subject to legionella problems.
Connected directly to the FWS, the solar contribution always
takes priority over the back-up and thus improves profitability
of the system.
Installed in a mixed use context, the solar energy surplus to
DHW production can be easily used for any kind of heating
back-up (swimming pool, home) without adversely impacting
DHW comfort.

SIZING A COLLECTIVE INSTALLATION FOR HOT WATER PRODUCTION
METHODOLOGY
The sizing of a collective installation for domestic hot water
production must always be done by a design consultancy
competent in this area and is compulsory if the installation is to
be subject to a request for a subsidy from state bodies (ADEME,
Region,).
You will find below the information necessary to enable you to
carry out a preliminary study for such an installation, followed by
costings of the principal components of the proposed installation.
Sizing methodology:
A: Collect the data required
B: Define the principal components
C: Define the system selected
D: Optimise sizing in relation to various systems
E: Finalise the sizing of all components
Steps D and E are handled by the engineering consultancy
responsible for the study
This is used to provide initial costings and draft the specifications
with the commissioning and connection diagrams.
Collecting data on DHW requirements
The set point domestic hot water temperature assumed to be
constant throughout the year.
The volume Vj, average daily consumption of domestic hot
water, should be estimated using the tables below or measured
using a flow meter placed in the installation if it is not known.

Definition of the principal components
Flat and tubular collector surface area
The collector surface area determines the cost and performance of
the system. In the procedure to pre-size the surface area needed,
S
0
is defined as follows: S
0
= Vj/X
S
0
: input surface flat collector (m
2
)
Vj: average daily consumption of domestic hot water (l)
X: volume of water (l) heated per m
2
of collectors. This parameter
is dependent on the climate zone and may vary between 45
and 75.
Note: for tubular collectors, the input surface must be reduced
by approximately 25% compared with flat collectors.
Constraints
With the collector surface area S
0
thus defined, we can check:
- whether the cost of the collectors matches the scheduled
investment,
- whether the scheduled emplacement actually allows enough
room for its installation (see page 15). The choice of incline of the
collectors depends on requirements if seasonal: 30 for heavy
requirements in summer, 60 for heavy requirements in winter,
45 for use all year round.
The following correction factors should be applied if the opti-
mum incline cannot be respected.
One or other constraint may this cause a variation in the collector
surface area initially pre-sized.
The annual quantities of solar energy received in kWh/m
2
.day
generally given for a region correspond to the optimum orientation
of the collectors: southern orientation, incline 45. If the location
of the collector field differs from these data, the average daily
exposure to sunlight will be reduced according to the following
correction coefficients:
Correction factor fi
Depending on the incline of the collectors in relation to the optimum
angle, this diagram gives the correction factor fi to be applied.
Example: for a roof gradient of 25, the correction factor will be
0.95.
The efficiency of the solar installation will be reduced by 5%
compared with an ideal installation.
NB: no installation of collectors with an angle of incline < 25,
unless the installation is only used in summer.

Example: for a collector installation facing 50 south-east, the

Reductions in efficiency due to divergences from the ideal
orientation or incline can be compensated to return to the initial
value X by adding supplementary collectors.

Solar storage volume
The storage volume is defined according to the daily maximum
volume of domestic hot water consumed over the period May-
August and the size of the apremises it is intended to serve.

Minimum value to be observed:
50 litres storage per m
2
of collectors
Storage can also be done using several tanks, which will be
interconnected. If the space for the storage volume is limited, it is
necessary to reduce the solar collector surface area.
Sizing the solar exchangers
To run a solar installation in both summer and winter, it is
imperative that antifreeze liquid be used as heat-carrying fluid.
This fluid guarantees collector operation from -30 to 130C and
protects them against frost and vapour formation. The inclusion of
an exchanger in the installation is therefore essential.
There are two ways to calculate the useful output of a solar
collector:
We can differentiate between two types of exchanger:
Exchanger integrated in the storage system
(coil exchanger)
Method , in accordance with standard NFP 50-501
Method , in accordance with EN 12975:
Exchanger outside the storage system
(plate exchanger)
To connect a solar field to a solar tank with an integrated
exchanger, it is important to check the following surface area ratio:
Smooth pipe exchanger: 0.2 to 0.3m
2
of pipe per m
2
of collectors
installed
Finned pipe exchanger: 0.3 to 0.4m
2
of exchange per m
2
of
collectors installed
The exchange coefficient must be in the order of 100 W/m
2
.C
To connect a solar field to a plate exchanger, it is important to
check the following surface area ratio:
0.15 to 0.3m
2
of exchange surface per m
2
of collectors installed.
To achieve an exchange between the primary circuit (solar) and
the secondary circuit (use), it is important to have a difference in
temperature of 5 K to limit losses in efficiency. The output of the
exchanger must be 100 W/C per m
2
of collectors at flow rate
(15 l/h.m
2
).
The pressure drop caused by the exchanger must not exceed
100mbar at peak times.
In these cases, the output losses are in the order of 5% (35 W
per m
2
of collectors) compared with the integrated exchanger.
Useful output in W/m

The following graph gives an overview of the efficiency of the
various types according to the desired collector outlet temperatures:
- for the solar carpet (black, non-glazed PUR pipe) used for heating
swimming pools or ponds, the maximum admissible collector outlet
temperature is 40C.
- DIETRISOL PRO C flat glazed collectors, which present an
efficiency of more than 50% for utilisation approaching AT =
20 at 50 K, are perfectly suitable for use in the field of domestic
water heating or heating. Use under 50% efficiency at higher
temperatures therefore would only pointlessly increase the solar
surface areas required.
- DIETRISOL POWER tubular collectors, in which efficiency remains
higher than 50% with a AT of 80 K should be preferred for
high temperature applications that may be found in industrial or
food production processes or in solar air conditioning. They are
also suitable for applications in cases of poor exposure in which
the laying surfaces are limited or insufficient in relation to high
requirements with a view to increasing the solar cover of the
installation.

Defining the system
An estimate of the daily DHW consumption is used to pre-size and
check any installation
- of the solar collector field,
- of the volume of the solar tank.
Depending on the surface areas and volumes thus established, it is
possible to choose a system
- with integrated exchanger,
- with plate exchanger.
It is now possible to make an initial costing of the proposed
installation. In all cases, this is only a pre-sizing of the principal
components. An exact sizing with profitability calculation is
necessary in all scenarios.
Sizing assistance software that can be used to analyse every aspect
of the process can be consulted:
- SIMSOL (www.cstb.fr)
- SOLO (www.cstb.fr or www.tecsol.fr)
- TSOL
- TRANSOL
- POLYSUN
De Dietrich Thermique also offers assistance with sizing and
recommendations in its DIEMATOOLS software. Consult your
Regional Office. Moreover, based on the elements used for pre-
sizing, De Dietrich, through the technical assistance department at
head office, can:
- check the feasibility of the scheduled installation,
- check its hydraulic configuration as planned,
- simulate potential savings.
Moreover, the DIEMATEC software that we offer can be used to
create hydraulic configurations in AutoCAD with a De Dietrich
library.

For DIETRISOL PRO C250 flat collectors, connection in series is
possible with up to 10 collectors in mounting on a roof, a terrace or
in roof integration. Nevertheless, to maintain high efficiency in the
battery as a whole, we recommend limiting batteries to 8 collectors.
For the installation of more than 10 collectors, the hydraulic
connection must be divided into branches connected in parallel in a
Tichelmann loop, each branch having a same number of collectors.
Fields should be balanced.

THE DIETRISOL POWER SOLAR COLLECTORS
Tubular high efficiency solar collector, comprising 10 or 15 concentric

vertical juxtaposed mounting only, and up to 14 interlinked collectors
for POWER 10, 10 interlinked collectors for POWER 15.
KEY MARK
n 011-7S412R
USE
DESCRIPTION
PACKAGING
All applications for DHW or heating water production and
industrial applications up to maximum temperatures of 85C.
POWER solar collectors are fitted with 1 high performance
absorber designed for a glass-lined pipe with an outside coating
of 9 selective aluminium/nitrite based layers.
The glass tubes are hard-wearing and entirely separate from
the solar circuit made of copper pipe, thus making it possible to
replace them without draining the installation.
The vacuum between the outside and inside pipes guarantees
perfect insulation throughout the year.
The parabolic reflector guarantees optimum use of solar energy
regardless of the angle of the suns rays. A minimum angle of
incline of 3 should nonetheless be observed to ensure adequate
circulation of the fluid. The base frame is in aluminium and
the integrated return pipes allow the POWER collectors to be
connected on a single side (right or left) whence the necessity to
construct only one feed under the roof.

POSSIBLE HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
Fitting the collector circuits
Collectors are mounted in sets called batteries. In a battery, the
hydraulic connection between collectors can be done in parallel to
limit the pressure drops.
In order to guarantee uniform irrigation of DIETRISOL PRO
C250H/V collectors, we advise limiting each battery to 8 units if
connected on the same side or 10 units if connected diagonally.
For optimal efficiency, collector fields of 5 to 6 collectors are
preferable.
For the DIETRISOL POWER 15 collector, we recommend limiting
the batteries to 10 units. (14 units for DIETRISOL POWER 10).
Below are a few hydraulic coupling configurations that help to
avoid the most common design errors.
- Paralell connection of collectors
DIETRISOL PRO C250V mounted vertically
- Paralell connection of collectors
DIETRISOL PRO C250H mounted horizontally
- Paralell connection of collectors

Balancing the collector circuits
One of the problems often observed between the thermal
performance of a solar system measured on site and the
performance forecast by the calculation is often attributed to an
incorrect balance of the collector field. The connection of batteries
in parallel with a Tichelmann loop is tantamount to pre-balancing
the installation and limits drops in pressure if the batteries are
uniform.
Additional rule to be observed
The ratio between the internal of the collectors pipe and the
internal of the solar panels pipe must be between 1.6 and 3.3.
Nota: if it is impossible to install a Tichelmann loop, it is necessary
to install flow rate regulation valves that make it easy to balance
each field of collectors on the various batteries. Self-regulating
adjustment valves are available, which obviate manual adjustment
battery by battery.
For a large number of collectors, we recommend mounting the batteries in parallel.
Below, a few configurations for the hydraulic coupling of batteries.

- up to a max. of 4 units juxtaposed in roof integration (max.
recommended).
DIETRISOL POWER collectors can be installed in batteries of up to
a maximum of 10 units for POWER 15 or 14 units for POWER 10
(vertical mounting only).
The collector fields must be facing south or south-east/south-
west, not shaded in winter when the sun is setting, with an incline
between 15 and 65. For use all year round, 45 is recommended.
Nota: for POWER collectors, flat mounting is possible but must
nonetheless have a minimum incline of 3.
Important: For the dimension of the collector field (dependent on
the mounting type selected) see page 16.
Limit on above sea level height according to snow load (EN 1991-3) (DIETRISOL PRO C250V/H)
Limit on building height according to wind load (EN 1991-1-4)

(please check this data in relation to prevailing local regulation)
Consider the wind speed in according to the zone in which
the collectors are located to ensure that they remain in
place on the roof or terrace
In the case of terrace mounting in particular, they will be
held in place:
- either by ballast to be placed on the brackets
- or by securing the brackets to the structure of the building.
For an exact definition of the brackets to be used, the
ballast weights and the holding power of locating screws
according to building height, see pages 16 to 19.

firmly attached to the base (3 fixing screws). If the stability of the
support is not guaranteed by screw fittings, it should be given
sufficient ballast to be able to deal with exposure to the wind and
the ensuing stresses (edding stones may, for example, be used for
this purpose) see page 18. The maximum load on the terrace must
in no event be exceeded. If necessary, a specialist in statics must be
consulted beforehand.

If several parallel rows of collectors have to be mounted, it is
essential that you observe a minimum spacing between rows to
take any shadows cast into account.
The table below gives the minimum spacing (dimension x) between
rows. 3 distinct uses of solar energy (seasonal priority) are
specified:
Failure to observe of the dimension x means that the next row
will be in the shade, thus reducing the active surface area of the
battery accordingly.

The collectors are mounted directly on the bracket feet (with no
mounting rail). Each foot comprises 4 bolt-assembled profiles. The
collectors are held at the bottom by a peg fixed to the inclined
wide profile to allow hydraulic connection and the fitting of lateral
retaining flanges to the collectors.
The terrace brackets can be pre-mounted supports without the
collectors. The basic packs each comprise 2 brackets (for the first
collector in a field) and single-bracket extension packs (for each
additional collector in a field). The feet are interlocked at the back
by stabilising crosses. The support feet are secured to a base frame
by 3 screws or bolts 8mm. The brackets must be resting against
the triangulation points to prevent overhangs.

The collectors are mounted on rails (screw-on profiles), which are
themselves mounted on bracket feet. Each foot comprises 4 bolt-
assembled profiles. To install the first collector, it is necessary to
order 1 basic terrace bracket + 1 screw-on profiles pack. For
each additional collector, it will be necessary to place a further
order for 1 terrace extension bracket + a second screw-on
profiles pack. The lower profile (rail) incorporates a wing peg
to hold the collector in place during hydraulic connection and
tightening of the lateral retaining flanges. The basic bracket packs
comprise 2 feet and the extension packs for one foot. In addition
to the lower rail (with collector wing peg) and the upper rail
(without wing), the profiles packs comprise the screws, the lateral
retaining flanges for the collectors and the profile coupling parts.
The bracket feet are secured to a base frame by 3 screws or bolts
8mm.

INSTALLING DIETRISOL PRO C250V , C250H SOLAR COLLECTORS ON A TERRACE ,
BALLAST AND HOLDING POWER OF THE SCREWS SECURING THE TERRACE BRACKETS
In order to factor in the wind load, it is necessary, depending on
the installation zone and the category of terrain (see below), to
secure the structure supporting the solar collectors:
- Either by installing sufficient ballast;
- Or by securing the terrace brackets to their base frame.
NB: If using ballast, it will be necessary to satisfy oneself as to
the roofs ability to bear this additional load (collectors included).
Installation of this ballast must be done in such a way that it cannot
work loose from the brackets and that all of the ballast rests on the
brackets.
Definition of ballast
Sizing the retaining screws
In urban terrain: refer to the table opposite, which gives the
weight of the ballast to rest on the brackets.
In extra-urban terrain on an exposed site such as an island,
on the coast or at height (mountain plateau), it is necessary to
apply the increase coefficient shown opposite.
The ballast weights are given according to NV65 rules for a
collector incline of 65.
In urban terrain: to calculate the holding power of the bracket
retaining screws, it is necessary to refer to the strength necessary
per collector (equivalent to the ballast weight defined above),
divide it by 3 (3 holding screws) and apply it to a screw/bolt
of 8mm (locating holes in the brackets: 10mm) see table
opposite.
In the same way as for ballast definition, in exposed terrain, these
values should be multiplied by the increase coefficient given.
A retaining point can be a bolt or a screw in a dowel or any
other retaining device handled via the 3 locating holes in the
brackets.
The holding power of the bracket retaining points is defined
according to the EN 1991 standard for a collector incline of 65.

FITTING THE SUPPORTS ON A ROOF TERRACE
PENETRATION OF PIPES THROUGH THE ROOF
The collector fastenings must enable it to withstand the effects
of normal loads of wind and snow. Two possible connection
techniques between the collector supports and the roof are detailed
below.
Pipes must be fitted in such a way as to prevent any infiltration of
run-off water into the building.

The collector support is fixed to a concrete footing
covered by a watertight metal hood. The concrete
footing is made in accordance with the standard.
Installation of waterproofing flashing to a height
of 15cm on the concrete footing is done in
accordance with the standard.
See prevailing regulations.
The support can be held in place by anchoring the
base of the support in a concrete mass providing
ballast, placed on the waterproofing using a
distribution material (expanded polystyrene, for
example). The concrete mass must be removable
as a matter of course, without the need for lifting
plant, to allow the waterproof coating to be
repaired whenever necessary.
The pipes carrying the heating-carrying fluid are
fitted horizontally through a vertical wall coming
out inside the building. They are fitted using a
metal sleeve sealed into the vertical wall situated
above the flashing. The sleeve is terminated by
a edge forming a drip groove around its entire
periphery.
A waterproof collar is fitted to the pipe carrying
the heat-carrying fluid. It covers approximately
3cm of the sleeve.
In this case, pipes must be fitted using a sleeve and
a plate.
The top part of the sleeve is at least 15cm above
the covering protection.
A waterproof collar is fitted to the pipe carrying
the heat-carrying fluid. It covers approximately
3cm of the sleeve.

INSTALLING DIETRISOL PRO C250V , C250H SOLAR COLLECTORS ON ROOF
Given the thicknesses and installation options, as well as the colour
of its frame, the in-roof mounting of the DIETRISOL PRO C250V/H
collectors that we offer is designed in every way for optimal
integration in the roof while retaining the advantages of on-roof
mounting, i.e.:
- The collectors are always accessible: the hydraulic components
and sensors can be easily checked and/or replaced where
necessary at any time;
- Mounting is not reliant on the roof incline and installation remains
relatively straightforward as it does not require any knowledge of
roofing;
- The constraints caused by the expansion of the materials have no
influence on the watertightness of the building over time, contrary
to roof-integrated installations with large collector fields, a great
deal of layering of plates, repeated jointing subject to very low
temperatures in winter and very high temperatures in summer.
SIZING OF THE COLLECTOR FIELD
MOUNTING OF COLLECTORS ON ROOF
It is important to know the space needed for mounting a field:
- to ensure the correct laying of the collectors, and its connections
- to ensure adequate access to the collectors at all times.

INSTALLING DIETRISOL PRO C250V , C250H SOLAR COLLECTORS ON ROOF

We can supply integration packs for roofs or any other support:
- With mechanical roofing tiles and for roof inclines > 21
- With flat tiles and roof inclined at more than 21
- With canal tiles for roofs with incline > 15
The in-roof integration of solar collectors requires the
installation of a CSTB-approved roof liner which must extend
down as far as the gutter and overlap the area covered by the
integration pack itself by at least 50 cm.
Installation of these packs must be done by a roofing professional
in order to ensure correct mounting, particularly as regards the
watertightness of the roof.
For maintenance questions, we recommend limiting in-roof
mounted collector fields to small fields, which can be accessed at
all times, and preferably with vertical collectors. In other cases, it
is preferable to opt for on-roof mounting: see the advantages of
such mounting on page 20.

INSTALLING DIETRISOL PRO C250V , C250H SOLAR COLLECTORS IN ROOF INTEGRATION ,
The collectors are mounted on the existing battening with the
installation of specific battens to hold these collectors in place.
The collector field must be mounted, hydraulically connected and
pressurised before closing the roof using the metal sheets provided.
The basic packs allow for the integration of one collector. For
any additional collectors, the extension pack is needed. During
mounting, some of the parts contained in the basic pack should be
used at the beginning of the field and the rest to finish the collector
field.
The use of internal ridge tiles with the lower part of the pack (lead
flap covering the tiles) is imperative in the case of a roof with
highly contoured tiles. The flap forms 230mm of roofing and does
not exist in the packs for flat tiles (the latter do include, on the other
hand, the flashings in the basic packs).
Note:
We advise against integration mounting for roofs covered with
highly contoured (canal) tiles and gradients of between 15 and
21 for aesthetic reasons as the lower and upper roofing sheets
take up nearly 800mm.

It should be 1 package of 3 supports with
stabilising crosses by row of collectors.
In order to ensure the stability of the whole, the
support must be firmly attached to its base. If the
stability of the support is not guaranteed by screw
fittings, it should be given sufficient ballast to be
able to deal with exposure to the wind and the
ensuing stresses: edging stones (not provided), for
example, can be used for this purpose.
The ballast shown below is required.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
COLLECTOR PIPES (PRIMARY CIRCUIT)
The connection pipes between the collector field and the exchanger
in the solar tank or the DKS/DKCS station must be routed with a
constant downward slope as direct as possible.
The materials used must be compatible with the heat-carrying fluid.
We recommend the use of copper pipes with brass valves or
non-galvanised steel pipes (galvanised pipes and valves and
graphite gaskets should be avoided) or the duo-tube, which can
be delivered as optional equipment (synthetic materials should be
avoided owing to the high temperatures).
- welds must be done with strong brazing filler metal without flux
(L-Ag2P or L-CuP6),
- union connections can only be used if they are resistant to the
heat-carrying fluid at pressure (6 bars) and at temperature (-30C
to +180C),
- hemp should only be used in combination with mastics resistant to
the high temperatures and pressures,
- a manual air vent must be fitted at the high point,
- the installation of a safety valve and an expansion vessel is
compulsory.
Thermal insulation of the pipes
All pipes must be insulated. To limit heat losses, we recommend
making the conduits as short as possible (< 5 linear metres per m
2

of collectors installed).
The pipe lagging must have the following characteristics:
- withstand temperature variations of between -30 and 180 in the
collector zone,
- withstand UV and bad weather conditions on the roof,
- be uninterrupted and of a thickness at least equal to that of the
pipes with a min. thermal coefficient of 0.04 W/m
2
.C.
- outdoors, it must be protected against mechanical deterioration,
UV rays and birds by additional reinforcement made of a sheath
in aluminium sheeting sealed with silicone,
- recommended materials: Armaflex, Aeroflex SSH, glasswool.
Below are the values of the thermal coefficient for various
insulating materials:
The following table summarises the thickness of a standard
glasswool type insulating material ( = 0.04 W/m
2
.C) as a function
of the diameter of the pipes:

PIPES (SECONDARY CIRCUIT)
SIZING THE COLLECTOR CIRCUIT
We recommend the use of copper pipes with brass valves or
non-galvanised steel pipes (galvanised pipes and valves and
graphite gaskets should be avoided) or the duo-tube, which can
be delivered as optional equipment (synthetic materials should be
avoided owing to the high temperatures).
The insulation of the pipes must satisfy the same criteria as those
listed in the previous paragraph.
To reduce pressure drops in the solar circuit to the minimum,
the circulation speed in the conduits must not exceed 1m/s. We
recommend speeds in the order of 0.3 to 0.5m/s, which limits
pressure drops to around 2.5mbar per linear metre of conduit.
For an installation of up to 20m
2
, we could use a max. flow rate
of 50 l/h and per m
2
of collectors, above 20m
2
of solar surface
area, 40 l/h.m
2
. In many cases, in order to reduce the output of
the pumps or even of sections of conduit, the installation needs
to operate at lower flow rates in the order of 15 l/h.m
2
with the
consequence of reaching high temperatures quickly. Below is a
table giving the max. diameters of the copper pipes to be used
for various collector surface areas, a flow rate of 50 l/h.m
2
and a
circulation speed of 0.3 to 0.5m/s (pressure drop between 1 and
2.5mbar/m).

INSTALLING THE PRIMARY COLLECTOR CIRCUIT
AIR VENT
CIRCULATING PUMP
Each high point in a battery or circuit must be fitted with a manual
or automatic air vent combined with an isolating valve holding the
glycol water at temperatures of more than 120C.
By making the heat-carrying fluid circulate, the circulating pump
enables the transfer of the energy accumulated in the collectors to
the solar exchanger. The pump should be sized to:
- overcome pressure drops in the circuit at the maximum permitted
circulation speed (by installing the hydraulic circuit),
- ensure a minimum flow rate for the heat-carrying fluid. The
flow rate of the fluid must be between 15 and 50 l/h per m
2
of
collectors and its speed must be less than or equal to 1m/s.
Pressure drops
Pressure drops in the circuit are caused by:
- pressure drops in the collectors and batteries of collectors (see
pages 10 and 12),
- pressure drops in the pipes,
- pressure drops in the solar exchangers (see the tables of
characteristics for the various tanks in the current price list).
If the batteries of collectors are interlinked, the various pressure
drops are added up. A parallel connection makes it possible to
reduce pressure drops.
Flow rate in the collector circuit (primary circuit)
The sizing of the pipes and the pump is linked. Indeed, it is a
question of ensuring the flow rate scheduled for the collectors.
In particular, the total pressure drop in the circuit (including the
collectors) must be lower than the pressure drop permitted for the
pump at the scheduled flow rate.
We could play with the diameter of the pipes and, where
appropriate, the output of the pump.
Overview of the diameters of the given collector conduits for heat-carrying fluid speeds of 0.5 and 1m/s.
The diameter of the conduits in the above table is only indicative
and not compulsory. If the choice goes to other diameters, the
manometric height of the pump will be directly affected.
For surface areas < 50m
2
the choice of the diameter of the
collector conduit is the result of the manometric height of the pump
used (often 6, 9, 11 mCE) from which we have subtracted the
pressure drops of the solar field, the solar station and the hydraulic
regulation components of the circuit.
Therefore, in practically all installations (low flow) < 30m
2
we
recommend a min. diameter of 22mm and for installations < 50m
2
,
a min. diameter of 28mm.
If the installation is to operate correctly, a flow rate adjustment
valve must be installed on each battery.
The safety valve is compulsory, it is responsible for discharging any
excess pressures in the primary circuit. It is integrated in all of the
solar stations that we offer.

INSTALLING THE PRIMARY COLLECTOR CIRCUIT
EXPANSION VESSEL
Reference text: DTU 65.11. (France)
A specific expansion vessel for solar installations (membrane
resistant to glycol) must be installed cf. prevailing regulations. It
must, in particular, be designed to withstand temperatures in the
order of 120C, satisfy an operating pressure of 6 bar and be able
to accommodate the volume of heat-carrying fluid in the collectors.
The various expansion vessel we offer:
40 l: Package EG 83
60 l: Package EG 84
100 l: Package EG 120
200 l: Package EG 122
300 l: Package EG 123
Sizing
It is difficult to give a correct calculation formula for installations
with more than 20m
2
collector surface area because of functioning
on storage volumes. We nevertheless give below the method used
to determine the volume of the expansion vessel. (It should be
noted that De Dietrich also offers assistance in its DIEMATOOLS
software for the dimensional calculation of the expansion vessel).
Sizing the expansion vessel consists in determining:
its inflation pressure (preload)
its capacity (volume)
The data needed are:
the heat-carrying fluid capacity of the installation (l),
the heat-carrying fluid capacity of the collectors (l),
the static height of the installation (m),
the calibration pressure of the safety valve (bar),
the percentage of glycol in the heat-carrying fluid (%).
The method is broken down into 6 steps:
1. Determining the inflation pressure P (preload of the vessel) in bar
P = hst /10 + Pva + 0.5
hst: static height between the air vent and the expansion vessel (m)
Pva: vaporisation pressure as of which the heat-carrying fluid
changes into vapour
2. Determining the expanded volume Vd in litres
Vd = (Volume of the installation (l) + 3)
x expansion coefficient of the water/antifreeze mixture (
0
/00)
The expansion coefficient is determined based on the table below,
for the concentration of antifreeze used (water only 20, 30, 40, 45
or 50%) at the average maximum temperature of the liquid in the
installation:
3. Determining the volume of vapour Vv in litres
Vv = collector volume (l) x 1.10
4. Total expansion volume Vet in litres
Vet = 3 + Vd (l) + Vv (l)
5. Efficiency of the expansion vessel
= (Final pressure + 1) - (P + 1) / (Final pressure + 1)

where finale pressure (bar) = max. valve pressure - 0.50
6. (Minimum) volume of the expansion vessel Vm in litres
Vm = Vet /
Calculation example
Data:
- 10 Pro C collectors
- installation volume: 48 l
- collector volume: 23 l
- static height: 15m
- calibration valve pressure: 6 bar
- glycol percentage: 40 %
Sizing the vessel:
- Preload = 15/10 + 1.31 + 0.5 = 3.31 bar
- Expanded volume = (48 + 3) x 71.13/1 000 = 3.6 l
- Vapour volume = 23 x 1.10 = 25.90 l
- Total expansion volume = 3 + 3.6 + 25.90 = 32.5 l
- Efficiency = ((6 - 0.5)+ 1) - (3.31 + 1) / ((6 - 0.5) + 1) = 0.3369
- Minimum volume of the vessel = 32.5 / 0.3369 = 96.5 l

Total volume of heat-carrying fluid
To determine the total volume of heat-carrying fluid, it will mean
adding:
- the volume of the collector field (number of collectors x unit
capacity),
- the volume of the exchangers (integrated or plate),
- the safety volume in the expansion vessel (0.015 x the volume in
the installation or 3 litres minimum),
- the volume in the pumps (if unknown, consider as 0.5m of
conduit),
- the volume of the conduits (cf. table opposite).

INSTALLING THE PRIMARY COLLECTOR CIRCUIT
HEAT CARRYING FLUID
Choice of the fluid
A solar system operates with a heat-carrying fluid that transports
the energy captured by the solar collector to the hot water
calorifier. As for all circuits in the open air, it is necessary to
provide protection of the solar circuit against frost, but also against
corrosion.
Therefore, we advise against using pure water, not only for these
two reasons, but also because water vaporises at 100C whereas
a more suitable fluid vaporises at around 130C or even 150C,
depending on the pressure; the installation will therefore overheat
at a much later stage with a fluid than with water. For all collective
solar installations, we therefore recommend our heat-carrying
fluids, which are suitable at once for winter temperatures and for
very high temperatures in summer.
Two types of fluid are available:
the LS pre-mixture: package EG 100 (20 litres).
Its a mixture composed of 43 % propylene glycol and 57 % water
with a protection from - 28C to + 160C
the BIO pre-mixture: package ER 316 (20 litres).
It is a natural, green-coloured maize-based product, which is
biodegradable and has an environmental and energy footprint
40% less than glycol. With this product, corrosion is controlled
better (contains less acid). It is an AFSA-approved product, a
very good antifreeze (down to -26C) and very resistant to high
temperatures (up to 250C) and ageing.
Vapour pressure of the fluid in the collector
Note:
In order that the control systems function correctly within the safety
ranges (up to 130C), the pressure in the installation must be
calculated so that the vaporisation point of the fluid is higher than
130C (2 bar min. in the collectors).
Opposite the vapour pressure for the fluid which we propose.
Also in the calculation of this pressure at the top of the
building on which the solar collector field is installed.
De Dietrich also offers assistance with its DIEMATOOLS software
with sizing and preconnection; consult your De Dietrich partner.

SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEMS
DIEMASOL AND DELTASOL SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEMS
DIEMASOL B control system - Package EC 160
DIEMASOL C control system - Package EC 161
DELTASOL E control system - Package ER 315
DIEMASOL B, C and DELTASOL E control systems
are intelligent, autonomous control systems
that, as a function of the collector and tank
temperatures measured, can be used to define
an optimal control concept (matched flow) for the
solar installation concerned. Once the installation
has been rinsed and filled, it requires no further
calibration.
They incorporate as standard the control
programme for DIETRISOL solar systems and an
estimated or real energy meter if an energy meter
is connected with it - package EC 174 - option see
p. 36. They are characterised by a multi-functional
display: evocative pictograms inform the user of the
current operating mode and status. Central control
is done using 3 keys.
They are also all equipped with a VBUS for
cascade connection and/or a remote link via the
DL 2 communication interface (see below).
The DIEMASOL B is designed to control a solar
installation with tank fitted with 1 or 2 exchangers ;
it can be integrated into the DIETRISOL DKS 8-20
solar station.
Delivered with 3 sensors: 2 tank sensors + 1
collector sensor
The DIEMASOL C is designed to control solar
installations with an energy consumer and an
external plate exchanger (DKS and DKCS solar
stations). Thanks to its 9 outlets for relays and its
11 inputs for sensors, it can be used to manage 2
fields of collectors (East/West), a swimming pool,
an additional load pump, 2 tanks and an MCDB
control system. Delivered with 4 sensors: 3 tank
sensors + 1 collector sensor
Note: DIEMASOL Ci is the model of control system
integrated in the QUADRO 750-20 CL tank.
The DELTASOL

E is a control system designed


to manage solar systems with solar station and
several storage tanks. Thanks to its 7 outlets for
relays, its 10 inputs for sensors and a multitude of
functions and options that can be activated, the
regulator can be easily adapted to all the solar
installations in the collective. The regulator is used
in all cases where the DIEMASOL C is insufficient to
manage the system as a whole.

QUICK SELECTION OF COLLECTIVE SOLAR SYSTEMS
These are solar systems used to produce domestic hot water with
solar collectors. The sun can provide between 30% and 60% of
energy needs ; for the rest, it is therefore necessary to have a back-
up facility if there is too little sun.
This auxiliary facility can be:
- the boiler, if such a generator is included in the buildings
installation,
- one or more existing electric water heater(s),
- integrated in the solar tank as is the case for some of our tanks.

Mixed multi-zone solar tank of modular construction for producing
instantaneous domestic hot water and auxiliary heating, to which all
types of boiler can be connected.
They comprise the following functional modules: temperature
stratification storage tank fitted with injection rods and an
exchanger in the form of a high performance stainless steel coil
for the production of domestic hot water (up to 50 l/min). It
construction principle is based on dividing the tank into 4 zones
- Zone 1: Hot water availability zone
- Zone 2: DHW reheating zone
- Zone 3: Storage zone reserved for heating
- Zone 4: Return and cold water zone
An intelligent loading technique, based on the thermosiphon
principle, is used to control the various functional zones selectively
and thereby optimise the use of solar energy. It is always the
water in the tank at the coldest temperature that will be presented
to the solar installation for reheating. Hot water coming from
the solar installation will, depending on the temperature level,
be injected into the storage zone or into the hot water zone.
During draw-off phases, the DHW reheating zone, operating in
reverse flow, handles the maximum cooling of the lower zone in
the tank (cold water zone).
Tank fitted with a metal structure with insulating shells and pipes,
on which the solar station with DUS 2 plate exchanger can be
mounted (up to 30m
2
of collectors), as can the DIEMASOL C
control system.
Must be fitted with a thermostatic mixing valve.
Various hydraulic modules can be included: hydraulic module
for 1 direct circuit, for 1 circuit with mixing valve or at a fixed
temperature.
Casing in polyester fibres 120mm thick with external skin in
polystyrol and 3 insulated casing covers covering all of the
functional components.

Operating principle: the solar installation supplies the QUADRO
750-20 CL solar tank for DHW preparation and, if necessary,
for heating. If the required hot water temperature is not reached
by the solar installation alone, the boiler takes over to complete
reheating of the water.
The solar installation transfers the energy to the plate exchanger in
the tanks solar station. The integrated DIEMASOL Ci control system
decides whether this solar energy should be injected into the upper
or lower level of the tank. The heating circuits are connected to the
storage zone in the tank, which makes it possible to use the energy
available.

Operating principle: to avoid having to install a plate exchanger
but keep the advantage of instantaneous DHW production, it is
possible to couple up to 3 QUADRO 750-20 CLs to obtain higher
domestic hot water flow rates. The tanks should be connected in
parallel to the DHW circuit and boiler back-up. The solar circuits
will be separate (1 circuit per tank).

Strong points
Multi-zone steel tank for production of instantaneous domestic hot
water, to which all types of boiler can be connected and with the
option of connecting a solar circuit:
- without solar circuit: the entire tank will be loaded by the boiler
- with solar circuit: only the top part of the tank will be loaded by
the boiler, the bottom part being reserved exclusively for solar
energy.
It comprises a temperature stratification storage tank fitted
with injection rods and an exchanger in the form of a high
performance stainless steel coil incorporated in the tank for
the production of domestic hot water (up to 80 l/min) (double
exchanger for FWS 1500). It construction principle is based on
dividing the tank into 3 zones
- Zone 1: Hot water availability zone
- Zone 2: Return and cold water zone
- Zone 3: Additional DHW reheating zone
An intelligent loading technique, based on the thermosiphon

and thereby optimise the use of solar energy. It is always the water
in the tank at the coldest temperature that will be presented to the

Insulating polyester sheath, 125mm thick
To be combined with a DKCS type solar station outside the tank
and a DIEMASOL C type control system
Must be fitted with a thermostatic mixing valve (not
supplied) if connected to a solar circuit.
The main application of this tank can be found in the tertiary
sector: retirement homes, hospitals, schools, etc. where the
prevention of legionella is essential.

Operating principle
The upper part (DHW) of the FWS can be loaded by boilers
mounted in cascade supplying the heating circuits and the DHW
circuit connected to the heating collector.
The solar circuit is connected to the lower part of the tank for DHW
preheating (or DHW heating if the solar back-up is sufficient). A
heating circuit can be connected to S1/S2 for a swimming pool, for
example.
Operating principle
The upper part of the tank is loaded by a cast iron boiler with high
inertia. The solar circuit is connected to the lower part of the tank.
The storage tank is connected to the solar zone, it loads or unloads
the FWS tank via a DMCDB station according to solar back-up.
As for the previous diagram, a heating circuit can be connected
directly to the FWS.
see key p. 2
43
COLLECTIVE SOLAR SYSTEMS WITH DIETRISOL FWS TANKS
Mixed system
The collective solar system preheats the DHW for distribution with
individual back-up. Distribution can be done by a loop (kept at
temperature by the solar calorifier) or without a loop if distances
allow.
The preheated water will be connected to the cold water inlet on
the back-up and to the users washing machine/dish washer in
order to optimise the use of solar energy.
Installation of an FWS allows direct use of the water (with no risk of
legionella), which would not be the case with an RSB calorifier, for
example.
A meter in each apartment will allow a straightforward breakdown
of charges relating to solar consumption.

The DKCS station is used to produce DHW directly from the solar
circuit thanks to an efficient plate exchanger integrated into the
station. The RSB tanks are used to store large quantities of domestic
hot water. This domestic hot water, pre-heated through the DKCS
station, can then be drawn from the RSB tanks to supply the
principal DHW production system (plate exchanger, electric tank,
etc.) which must include an anti legionella function.
Operating principle
46
Strong points
Storage tanks of 1 000, 1500, 2 000 or 2 500 litres in very thick
sheet steel with an exchanger in smooth piping welded into the
bottom section of the tank for connection to the solar installation
(except PSB 750):
- the interior lining in black anti-rust paint means that these tanks
can be used only for the production and storage of hot water
for heating purposes,
- the tank and the exchanger have multiple connection points for
one or more boilers and heating circuits,
- insulation in polyester fibres 100mm thick with an external skin
in polystyrol.

The hot water thus produced in the storage tank can be used as:
hot water to back up an existing heating system with or without
an auxiliary boiler. In this case, the boiler must be able to
accommodate high return temperatures (not recommended when
the boiler is a condensing boiler).
hot water for DHW production via a tank that may be an
independent type B tank, combined with a boiler with
integrated DHW, a gas storage water heater, an electrical water
heater
hot water for instantaneous DHW production via a plate
exchanger to relieve the boiler.
The tank has multiple connection points enabling the simultaneous
connection of one or more boilers with heating or swimming pool
heating circuits.
The system can easily be fitted to existing installations if there is
enough space for the tank.
The coil integrated into the tank is used to separate the glycol solar
circuit from the other circuits in the network.
For solar surfaces larger than the integrated exchanger allows, it
can be uncoupled by a DKCS solar station. This leaves the coil free
for other uses, such as a heat pump.
The SLA2 differential control system monitors the outlet temperature
of the DHW exchanger. If this is higher than the temperature in the
solar tank, the control system bypasses the solar tank.

The collective solar system preheats the heating water which will
be distributed on a hot loop shared by the building. The back-up
on this loop will be done by a boiler or a district heating system in
order to keep the loop at the required temperature ( 65C) to
guarantee DHW production and/or heating in each apartment.
Decoupling the solar storage volume will make the system more
responsive for preheating the temperature maintenance tank and
will help to limit standby losses at night and when solar back-up is
not available.

Strong points
Independent high performance domestic hot water tanks fitted with
2 exchangers welded into the tank in smooth enamelled pipes:
- The lower exchanger, intended for connection to the solar
installation,
- The upper exchanger, intended either for the conventional
heating system to complement reheating by the boiler or the solar
circuit,
- Construction of the tank in thick sheet steel with a food standards
quality enamel lining vitrified at 850C with double bottom: this
makes it possible to take into account the volume located under
the solar exchanger, which is not used in conventional tanks with
exchanger and thence obtain lower return temperatures and
therefore optimise the efficiency of the collector,
- Insulation in polyester fibres 120mm thick with external skin
in polystyrol for B 800/1000/2-2 or sheet metal casing with
insulation of polyurethane foam 50mm thick for UNO/2 500,

Operating principle
The solar tank is mounted in series with an auxiliary tank considered
by the boiler as an independent tank, which is maintained at
temperature by the DHW priority function on the boiler control
panel through the exchanger. The solar tank provides the auxiliary
tank with hot water. The two coils in the solar tank are used to
optimise the distribution of energy received in the tank: if the solar
energy is high, the whole of the tank will be used, if the solar
energy is not so high, only the lower part will be used.

Operating principle
The boiler considers the solar tank as an independent tank, which
is maintained at temperature by the DHW priority function on
the boiler control panel through the upper exchanger. If there is
enough solar energy to produce domestic hot water at the desired
temperature, the boilers DHW priority will remain off. If there is
not enough solar energy, the loading of the upper zone of the
tank will be completed by the boiler through the upper exchanger,
which is dedicated to it.

Operating principle
Two tanks are mounted in series. The first tank, called the solar
tank, is mounted upstream of a second so-called mixed (solar
+ auxiliary) tank. The auxiliary boiler is connected to the coil in the
top of the mixed tank. The boiler considers the top zone in this 2
nd

tank as an independent tank, which is maintained at temperature
by the DHW priority function on the boiler control panel.
Solar loading of the 2 tanks is done as follows:
if the solar energy is little high, only the upstream tank is heated.
If the solar energy received increases, both tanks are heated by
interconnecting the bottom 2 coils in the 2 tanks.
The boiler back-up in the top of the 2
nd
tank will take over to
guarantee the DHW temperature requested (65C minimum
because of legionella).
Note: a DHW loop can be made following the same diagram as
on the previous page.

COLLECTIVE SOLAR SYSTEMS WITH INDIVIDUAL SOLAR TANKS: CESCI
Operating principle
Solar collectors supply a series of individual tanks of medium or
small capacity in parallel. The surface area of the collector field
must be suitable to the number and nature of the tanks in the
installation that are heated directly by the solar circuit.
The tanks can be located at different places, such as in a rental
building where each home is equipped with an individual tank with
its own auxiliary facilities.
These tanks may be:
- double coil tanks in which the auxiliary facility is a boiler,
- tanks without integrated back-up serving electric water heaters or
dual service boiler (with instantaneous DHW production).
Each tank must be balanced in relation to the installation as a
whole by means of a compensating valve located on the primary
circuit return.

Nota: For matters of simplification of the balance (grouping in an
equipment room with the solar station) the umbrella distribution
solution is easier to start up and maintain than the single loop
solution, which also has the disadvantage of unloading or
balancing the temperatures in every tank for the solar proportion.
The user will have no influence on the temperatures of the solar
volume, nor, in fact, on the solar system itself.

Note: we recommend using a DKCS solar station so as not to
have to fill the entire installation with glycol, only the primary solar
collector circuit.
Operating principle
The solar energy received by the collectors is transferred to the
secondary circuit via the fluid circulating in the system by means of
a solar station. The station is controlled by a DIEMASOL C, which
manages both the primary and secondary circuits.
Each tank has its own solar station and its own solar control system
allowing it to be loaded individually without unloading its opposite.
In order to balance the secondary loop, the installation of a
storage volume or pressure reduction vessel is recommended.
Individual tanks recommended:
- INISOL UNO/1 and UNO/2 + solar station
- DIETRISOL DUO/1 and DUO/2, BESC 300I, TRIO
- Thermodynamic water heater TWH EH + solar station
- MPL + solar station
Each user can adjust his own solar temperature as he sees fit,
bearing in mind that the safety functions to protect against
overheating will be taken care of in all cases.

PS storage tanks can be fitted with an optional
thermometer. This is delivered with a sensor tube
to be inserted into the opening provided for this
purpose on the front of the tank after first taking
out the plug.
DHW flow rate up to 39 l/h at AP = 1.5 bar.
This is used to keep the draw-off temperature in
the solar tank constant between 30 and 65C. In
this way, the danger of being scalded by domestic
hot water is lessened, which is an absolute necessity
in solar DHW preparation installations.

Allows to optimize the use of the solar energy and
the stratification in temperature in the solar tank.
1 or 2 resistances per tank can be fitted. This
resistance is composed of an Incoloy heating
element and is fitted with a regulating thermostat
and a safety thermostat.

PREVENTION OF SCALDING BY DOMESTIC HOT WATER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEGIONELLA
To restrict the development of bacteria, the temperature of the hot
water distributed must be at least 60C on leaving storage and,
if the installation includes a recirculation loop, the return water
temperature must be at least 50C. In all cases, users must be
protected against the risk of scalding at the draw-off points where
the temperature of the water drawn off must not exceed 50C.
Scalding caused by domestic hot water is a common accident which
has serious consequences, particularly because of its potential
extent. Around 15% of scalds are thought to be caused by the
domestic hot water temperature being to high, occurring principally
in the bathroom.
In order to limit the risk of being scalded:
- in rooms intended for ablutions, the maximum temperature of the
domestic hot water is set at 50C at the draw-off points ;
- in the other rooms, the maximum temperature of the domestic hot
water is limited to 60C at the draw-off points ;
- in the kitchens and laundries of establishments open to the public,
the temperature of the water distributed may be raised to a
maximum of 90C at certain points indicated by special warning
signs.

Legionella is caused by the inhalation of water spray contaminated
by legionella. Water temperature is a significant factor in
preventing the development of legionella in distribution networks as
the Legionella bacterium multiplies significantly in water presenting
temperature of between 25 and 43C.
In order to limit the risk related to the development of legionella
in domestic hot water distribution systems to which draw-off points
at risk are likely to be connected, the following requirements
must be respeced when using domestic hot water production and
distribution systems and during their 24 hours preceding their use:
When the volume between the distribution point and the most
distant draw-off point is more than 3 litres, the water temperature
must be higher than or equal to 50C at all points in the
distribution system with the exception of the final supply pipes.
The volume of these final supply pipes must be as low as possible
and at all times less than or equal to 3 litres ;
When the total storage volume is higher than or equal to
400 litres, the water contained in the storage equipment,
excluding preheating tanks, must:
- always be at a temperature higher than or equal to 55C at
the equipment outlet ;
- or be raised to a sufficiently high temperature at least once
every 24 hours. Annex 1 gives the minimum water temperature
maintenance time to be respected.
