5. THERMODYNAMIC SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
5.1. Site selection
The choice of the installation site of the thermodynamic panel is a key factor in the final
performance of the unit. For this reason, we recommend following the indications to achieve
the best performance:
-South orientation is indeed the best to take the maximum advantage of solar radiation.
Panel may also have other orientations, but northerly orientation is the worst to receive
solar radiation.
-Inclination: The minimum inclination of the panel is 15º in order to ensure the correct
evaporation of the coolant. It is recommended to install the panel with an inclination
between 45º and 90º.

-Orientation: It is possible to install the panel both in vertical and horizontal position
-Distances to ECOFLEX TD:
The maximum allowed distance from the panel to the ECOFLEX TD is 12 meters.
In the picture below is shown the dimensions of the panel:
Figure 5. Side connections
5.2. Anchoring panel
Beside the panel, it is supplied a bag with anchoring elements that contains the following
pieces:
-6 x Aluminium support (L shape)
-6 x Screws M5
-12 x Nuts M5
When the panel is installed in
vertical position, the inlet and
outlet connection shall be always
at the bottom. (It is not allowed to
install the reverse)
If the panel is installed at
horizontal position, refrigerant
inlet pipe should be connected
into the bottom connection.

-18 x Washer 5
-18 x Sheet Metal Screws
-18 x Blocks M6
Anchor the panel using the lateral and front holes to the suitable surface.
6. PLACING ECOFLEX TD
The place where the system will be installed should allow an easy access to make maintenance
work or inspection.
Beside these factors, it is important to consider the following indications regards the installation
site:
-The system has been designed and manufactured for it indoors utilization. In case the
system has to be placed outdoors, it must be protected against the adverse weather
conditions (direct solar radiation, rain, snow…)
-Try to place ECOFLEX TD as near as possible to the panel installation and the buffer tank.
The equipment allows the installation on floor or on wall.
-Wall mounted: Ensure that the surface can support the total weight of the device. The
installer must fix the bracket to the wall and the insert the tabs into the corresponding
slot of the back of the unit.
NOTE: It is recommended to install Silent blocks to avoid the transmission of vibration to
the wall.
-Floor mounted: Screw 4 leg into the holes of the bottom.
NOTE: It is recommended to install Silent blocks to avoid the transmission of vibration to
the floor.

If the equipment is to be installed in the wall, be aware that a minimum distance between the
water outlet of the tank and the outlet of ECOFLEX TD must be observed to ensure a good
functioning of the pump and the equipment.

7. CONNECTION BETWEEN ECOFLEX TD AND PANEL
a. Join refrigerant pipes
Panels are supplied with two nuts for the inlet and outlet connection. The inlet to each panel
is 1/4 inch diameter. The installer has to insert the nut into the copper pipe, flare the pipe
and then use the nut to fit it.
Repeat the procedure with the outlet connection using 3/8 inch copper pipe.
Then, join the suction line that comes from the panel to the coolant inlet of ECOFLEX TD,
and the liquid line to the coolant outlet. The connections are threaded, if welding is needed,
weld by oxyacetylene welding.
IMPORTANT (Only when welding is needed):
It is recommended to weld pipelines by oxyacetylene welding.
Welding is a critical step in the installation and to do it well ensures that the system will run
properly along its useful life.
Only expert staff should make this step by using proper tools and high-quality materials.
b. Nitrogen test and cleaning procedure
To check the tightness, introduce nitrogen by using the pressure gauge already installed
into load ports.
CAUTION: Never exceed a nitrogen load greater than 10 bars.
Use leaking detector fluid at every welding and even in panel’s connections to verify the
absence of leaks.
c. Vacuum
Connect the vacuum pipe to the pressure gauge to carry out a vacuum of the whole
installation.
d. Coolant filling
Open the load ports to fill the circuit with the refrigerant loaded into the system.

8. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION
The hydraulic connection depends on the existing buffer tank, if some type of connection for
the recirculation or coil is available.
The possible connections are detailed as follows:

The installer must install the following components of the hydraulic circuit:
- ECOFLEX TD (1)
- Gate valve (2)
- Check Valve (3)
- Inclined filter (4)
- Expansion vessel (5)
- Safety valve (6)
- Storage tank (7)
- Pump (8)
- Pressure gauge (9)
- Red water inlet (E)
- DHW output (S)
- Inlet water filled coil (R)
- Probe connection (T)
Once the hydraulic connections are made, purge the circuit to remove the air from the
installation.
In addition, it is necessary to install electrolytic sleeves in the water connections to prevent
galvanic corrosion in the pipes.
IMPORTANT:
- The water pipes must be at least 22 mm in diameter to avoid excessive losses in the circuit
- If the unit is to be installed on the wall, its height must not exceed half the storage tank.
a. Pump connection
For the choice of the pump, it is necessary to consider the pressure drop of the installed
pipe as well as the accessories (elbows, filters, valves ...). See the technical data table for the
water flow rate to be circulated through the equipment and the pressure drop of the
installed heat exchanger.
b. Temperature probe connection
The equipment incorporates connected temperature probe. The installer must pass through
the indicated opening (Figure 3, D) and connect it to the buffer tank. The position of the
probe varies according to the type of buffer tank.
Follow the instructions in of the diagrams shown in Figures 9, 10 and 11.
