Product catalog summary
Overview
This document outlines the specifications and advantages of various solar heating systems and components, including flat-plate collectors, vacuum tube collectors, swimming pool absorbers, control units, stratification cylinders, and buffer cylinders. It also covers installation options and warranty details.
Flat-Plate Collectors
The TopSon F3-1, F3-Q, and CFK-1 are high-performance flat-plate collectors with optical efficiency between 71.2% and 81.9%, a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar, and multiple installation options. Benefits include high energy yield, environmental certifications, and robust construction.
Vacuum Tube Collectors
The CRK vacuum tube collectors offer 95% absorption rate, a maximum idle temperature of 272°C, and modular layouts for flexible installation. They are suitable for domestic hot water (DHW) heating and central heating backup.
Swimming Pool Absorbers
These absorbers provide an economical solution for heating swimming pool water, featuring low investment and operating costs, UV and weather resistance, and compact dimensions.
Control Units
The BM-Solar programming module and SM1/SM2 solar modules offer intelligent control and energy management with features like eBus interface, display of set and actual values, and optional heat meter connection.
Stratification Cylinders
The BSP-800 and BSP-W1000 stratification cylinders are designed for solar systems, biomass, and fossil fuels, offering space-saving design, hygienic hot water preparation, and a 5-year warranty.
Buffer Cylinders
The SPU-2-W and SPU-2 buffer cylinders are made from steel, providing high thermal insulation, removable insulation for easy transport, and a 5-year warranty.
Installation and Configuration
Detailed diagrams and descriptions for installation and configuration of solar heating systems are provided, including pipework layouts and sensor placements.
Conclusion
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and installing solar heating components, emphasizing efficiency, durability, and environmental compliance.
Installation Specifications
Adjustable installation stands "AluFlex" are available for 1, 2, or 3 collectors in portrait and landscape orientations, suitable for horizontal surfaces with adjustable angles of 20°, 30°, and 45°. Connection kits are available for on-roof mounting and roof integration for arrays of collectors. Compensators are required for collector fittings, with two pieces needed per collector connection. Rooftop fixing set "CRK" is available for portrait installation of tube collectors. Flexible connection kits and inclination correction kits are available for roofs with low pitch, adjustable to 0°, 30°, and 45°.
Pump and Fitting Assemblies
Pump/fitting assemblies are available for up to 10 or 20 flat-plate collectors, each supporting a flow rate of 50 liters per hour per collector. Assemblies are also available for connecting a second heat consumer.
Additional Components
Solar heating expansion vessel with a 2.5 bar inlet pressure and associated connection kits, air vent trap with a 0.15l capacity, insulated, and copper connection of Ø 22 mm, thermostatic water mixing valve with integral non-return valve and anti-scalding protection, and heat transfer mediums available in various quantities.
Product Performance and Testing
The Wolf solar package, including TopSon F3, solar cylinder SEM-1-300, and solar control unit SM-1/BM Solar, received a "GUT" rating in tests. Individual test results highlight high energy efficiency and comfort in DHW preparation with a very high solar yield of 40%. Operation and durability are rated "SEHR GUT" with low power consumption of the pump at 37 kWh/a. Environmental features are also rated "SEHR GUT". Note: Successor TopSon F3-1 with improved performance data is now available.
