Advice to owner

Once the installation work is complete, the heating contractor must familiarize the system operator/ultimate owner with all equipment, as well as safety precautions/requirements, shut-down procedure, and the need for professional service annually.

Warranty

• Information contained in this and related product documentation must be read and followed. Failure to do so renders warranty null and void.
• Grounding/Lightning protection of the solar system
• In the lower part of the building, install an electrical conductor on the piping system of the solar circuit in compliance with local regulations.
• Connection of the solar system to a new or existing lightning protection or the provision of local grounding should only be carried out by a licensed professional, who must take into account the prevailing conditions on site.

CAUTION

• Observe maximum load and distance from edge before installing the substructure to the roof. If necessary, consult with a structural engineer to determine if the structure is suitable for installing solar collectors. The collectors must be securely mounted so that the mountings can withstand intense wind conditions and local snow loads.
• Gloves and eye protection must be worn when handling solar panels.
• Solar panel connection pipes and solar heating fluid can become hot enough to cause severe burns. Extreme caution must be taken if panels have been in a stagnant condition (no flow of fluid).
• Avoid scratching or sudden shocks to glass cover of the solar panel.
• Never step on collectors or solder in close proximity to the glass surface of the solar panel.

Applicability

• Vitosol solar collectors are designed for use in closed loop heating systems for domestic hot water heating, space heating and pool heating via a heat exchanger. The use of Viessmann heat transfer medium “Tyfocor- HTL” or equivalent is strongly recommended.
• In areas with extremely cold climate conditions, where outside temperatures may drop below -31°F (-35°C), the use of Tyfocor-HTL is not recommended.
  Use a solar propylene glycol mixture with a higher concentration of glycol that provides the level of freeze protection required for the area of the collector installation.

IMPORTANT

Pool water or potable water should not be pumped directly through the Vitosol collectors. Damage to collectors caused by corrosion, freezing or scaling will void warranty.

Start-up steps

1. Check and adjust nitrogen cushion pressure in the diaphragm expansion tank D. Calculate cushion pressure based on formula (see page 7) and charge cushion pressure as required.
2. Thoroughly flush system through the system fill manifold F to remove debris and flux residue (see page 10).
3. Fill system with solar fluid J through the system fill manifold F using charge pump or hand fill pump E.

CAUTION

4. Fill system to min. final fill pressure (see page 8). Typical values:

• * 1- storey home = 25.5 psig (1.7 bar)

  • 2- storey home = 30 psig (2.1 bar)

5. Purge all air from air vent H by running solar loop pump at maximum speed.
6. Set system flow rate (see page 11).
7. Provide overflow container C (minimum size should equal collector fluid volume).
8. Set control settings: Differentials, maximum tank temperature (see pages 13 and 14).
9. Fill DHW tank with water (see page 11).
10. Remove protective film from flat plate collectors.

CAUTION

• Remove protective film from flat plate collector ONLY after all above steps have been completed.
• Never flush with water when it is freezing, if no heat transfer medium is used.
• Never drain the system with a vacuum pump.
• Never turn on power to the electric element until the tank is full of water as this will damage the element and void the warranty.

IMPORTANT

Record the “pre-charge pressure level” on the expansion tank for future reference.

Calculate the System Fluid Fill Pressure

1. Calculate the system fluid fill pressure using the formula below. The fill pressure must exceed the set air cushion charge pressure of the diaphragm expansion tank by
   5 psig (0.4 bar). This additional pressure creates a safety water seal in the expansion tank (see middle picture above). The safety water seal helps for ventilation and to ensure no steam can enter the expansion tank during stagnation.

2. The final system fluid fill pressure can be calculated using this formula:
   15 psig + 0.45 x static head (ft.) + (5 psig)
   1.0 bar + 0.1 x static head (m) + (0.4 bar)

Typical fluid pressure examples

1. story home, static head = 10 ft. (3 m) System fill pressure = 25.5 psig (1.7 bar)
2. story home, static head = 20 ft. (6 m) System fill pressure = 30 psig (2.0 bar)

Checking the Function of the Safety Equipment

Check the safety valve:

1. Response pressure
2. Correct installation, with discharge pipe

Checking the Electrical Connections

Check the tightness of the electrical plug-in connectors and cable grommets; check cables for damage.

Flush, Fill and Leak Test the Solar System

Compact mobile charge station for flushing, venting and filling solar collectors, available from Viessmann.

IMPORTANT

Filling and commissioning the solar thermal system without first safeguarding heat transfer results in thermal stress. Cover the collectors and keep covered until heat transfer has been regulated.

• Accessories for flushing and filling the solar thermal system:

  • Flushing and filling facility (compact mobile charger station)
  • These contain a high head, high flow pump, a filter and a container for heat transfer medium.
    – Manual filling pump.

•  Flush solar thermal system with heat transfer medium. Otherwise there is a risk that residual water from flushing may become mixed with the heat transfer medium. This would alter the properties of the heat transfer medium.

• Flush brazed copper pipes thoroughly. Any residual scale may compromise the operation of the solar thermal system.

1. Close shut-off valve E: Use a screwdriver to turn the slot on the adjusting screw clockwise 90 degrees (the slot should now be horizontal).

2. Open the flow check valve B by turning the handle clockwise 90 degrees (handle located above the glycol pump).

3. Connect the hoses of the flushing and filling apparatus L to drain valve F and fill valve H.

4. Fill the container of flushing and filling apparatus L with heat transfer medium.

5. Open drain valve F and fill valve H.

6. Start the charge pump of flushing and filling apparatus L.

7. Observe the fluid level in the container and top up with heat transfer medium if necessary to prevent any air entering the solar circuit. Let the charge pump of flushing and filling apparatus L run until no more air bubbles rise to the top of the container
   (at least 20 to 30 min).

8. Open shut-off valve E towards the end of the flushing process: Use a screwdriver to turn the slot on the adjusting screw counter-clockwise 90 degrees (the slot should now be vertical).

9. Close drain valve F. Let the charge pump of flushing and filling apparatus L run until the required cold fill fluid pressure is reached.

10. Close fill valve H and switch off charge pump of flushing and filling facility L. The fluid pressure must not drop for at least 1 hour.

11. Vent the circulation pump by carefully loosening the flat head screw on the rear of the pump head. Once the bubbles stop coming out tighten the flat head screw.

12. Vent the internal air separator inside the pump station. Select manual mode on the solar control, and set pump speed selector switch to 3 (high speed). Very carefully open the manual air vent valve on air separator D. Allow the air to be purged from this unit then tighten the air vent valve. Repeat as required until the float in the flow meter holds a constant position when the pump is running.

13. Repeat the air venting procedure after the system has been operating for a few days.

14. If after venting the system pressure drops below the cold fill fluid pressure, top up with heat transfer medium and repeat venting process.

Notes on Residual ventilation:

• If there is air in the system, the flow meter float will cycle up and down. Repeat filling and venting until no air is present.
• Even after thorough ventilation, some dissolved air will still remain in the heat transfer medium. This will be released as the temperature rises, and must be discharged via air separator D.

Setting the Flow Rate

Determining the flow rate and adjusting if required
Check the value at the bottom edge of the flow indicator float. Adjust the flow rate by changing the speed selector switch on the solar pump.
Fine adjustments can be made via shut-off valve E (adjusting screw above the flow indicator).

Filling the DHW Tank

1. Fill the DHW tank with potable water.
2. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the tank. When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the tank is filled.
3. Check the fittings on the heating water and DHW sides for tightness and retighten if required.
4. Check the function of the safety valves according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: When the DHW tank is pressurized, retighten the flange cover with a torque of 18.5 lb.ft (25 Nm).

CAUTION

Never turn on power to the electric element until the tank is full of water as this will damage the element and void the warranty.

IMPORTANT

Due to the fixed high limit of the thermostat being factory set at 180°F (82°C), collector cooling (OCCO) and tank cooling (OSTC) features cannot be enabled.
Should one of these features be enabled the tank could reach temperatures up to 200°F (95°C) which will cause the fixed high limit to trip. Should this safety device trip the electric heating element will not provide hot water backup until the safety device is manually reset.

Checking the Switching Function of the Solar Control Unit

Maintenance, Inspection and Cleaning

The solar thermal system must be inspected regularly by the building owner to verify that the control is operational, and that the solar pump is running when the sun is shining and that the system fluid pressure is within range.

CAUTION

The building owner must notify a qualified heating contractor immediately if they notice any problems with the solar control or solar pump, or a system pressure drop. Failure to do so can result in system stagnation leading to excessively high temperatures and damage to the solar fluid and or system components.

• The solar thermal system should be inspected once a year by a qualified heating contractor to ensure operational reliability.
• In addition to this, a visual inspection of all essential components ( e.g. collectors and pipe work) is recommended every 3 to 5 years.
• Regular inspection and service by a qualified heating contractor is critical to the performance of the Viessmann Vitosol 100-F, 200-F and 200-T. Neglected maintenance, e.g. forgoing regular cleaning services, impacts on warranty and will result in decreased efficiency of the system. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures clean, environmentally friendly and efficient operation. We recommend a maintenance contract with a qualified heating contractor.

Regular maintenance required

• Keep collectors clean
• Check integrity of collector roof mounting hardware
• Check the thermal insulation of the pipes for positioning and damage and adjust if required
• Regularly check the pressure gage
• Compare the system operating pressure with the set value. If values are different, check the expansion tank (see page 7)
• Bleed air from air separator on Solar-Divicon.
• Have any leaks repaired immediately by a heating contractor
• After approximately six months the following functions should be tested:
  • operating pressure
  • smooth running of the pump(s)
  • supply temperatures
  • control functions
• Check freezing point and pH of the heat transfer medium annually
• After five years, the storage tank heat exchanger should be inspected
• For Vitocell 100 tanks, check and replace magnesium anode every two years
• Annually check the operation of the electric heating thermostat (CVSA only).

Refer to the Vitocell 100 Service Instructions.

Check Frost Protection Temperature of Heat Transfer Medium

Tyfocor HTL should be between 45-50% propylene glycol. See below or for more details, refer to the product MSDS information on Tyfocor.

CAUTION

• In areas with extremely cold climate conditions, where outside temperatures may drop below -31°F (-35°C), the use of Tyfocor-HTL is not recommended.
• Use a solar propylene glycol mixture with a higher concentration of glycol that provides the level of freeze protection required for the area of the collector installation.
• Never mix Tyfocor HTL with water or alternate heat transfer fluid.
• Failure to test frost protection temperature of solar fluid can lead to freezing and damage to collector.

Check the freezing point of Tyfocor HTL heat transfer medium with a Viessmann frost protection tester, or approved alternate refractometer.

Check pH of Heat Transfer Medium

The Tyfocor heat transfer medium supplied is a liquid based on 1.2 – propylene glycol with a frost protection limit of -31°F (-35°C). Below this temperature the fluid is no longer pumpable.
The heat transfer fluid can be damaged if exposed to long periods of stagnation. The pH level of the fluid is the indicator of the fluids suitability for continued use. The pH value should be in the range of 7.5 – 10. This must be tested annually.
If the pH value falls below 7.5, the heat transfer fluid must be drained, flushed and refilled with the new fluid.

CAUTION

Failure to test pH and replace solar fluid as required can lead to corrosion and fouling of collector circuit.

Inspection and Maintenance of the Solar Tank

It is recommended to do a visual inspection and (if necessary) cleaning no later than two years after the tank has been commissioned, and thereafter according to requirements.
Note: In addition, we recommend an annual visual inspection of the magnesium anode.

Testing the Anode Ground Current with an Anode Tester

1. Remove cover A and flange insulation B.
2. Pull ground cable C off tab D.
3. Connect tester in series between ground cable C and tab D.

• The anode is OK if the current measures > 0.3
• If the current measures < 0.3 mA or if there is no current at all, the anode must be visually inspected.
