3 SPECIFICATIONS
3.1 Running Principle
The Thermodynamic Solar System ECOTOP is an equipment based on the principle of compression
refrigeration - Carnot's principle - which we call the Thermodynamic Solar Systems: Solar Panel and
a Heat Pump. The solar panel, which is the main component, placed outside ensures the capture of
energy on:
a) Direct and diffuse solar radiation;
b) Outdoor air, by natural convection;
c) The effect of the wind;
d) Rain water.
The temperature difference caused by the mentioned external agents, guarantees that the R134a
(ecological refrigerant) evaporates inside the solar panel.
The absence of glass on the panel allows to increase the thermal exchanges by convection.
After passing through the panel, the R134a is aspirated by the compressor, which raises its
temperature and pressure, which in turn is transmitted to the water circuit through a condenser
external to the tank.
Before the R134a returns to the solar panel, a choke must occur, that is, through a thermostatic
expansion valve the pressure is reduced and the fluid reaches its liquid state again, thus completing
the cycle.
This facility with which we combine technology with a law of nature (change of state of a fluid),
demonstrates the veracity and potential of ECOTOP.

3.4 Safety and Control Devices
3.4.1 Low Pressure Switch
In case of running outside the range of pressures recommended and defined by the supplier, the
equipment will switch off and indicate error in the electronic panel.
3.4.2 Safety Thermostat
The safety thermostat is set by the supplier to ensure that the water temperature in the storage water
heater does not exceed the standard value. If the temperature exceeds this value, the thermostat
switches off the backup electrical heater. Switching on is done manually by qualified staff, after
analysing the reasons for the switch off.
3.4.3 Temperature Probe
The purpose of the temperature probe is to measure the temperature values of water in the storage
water heater in order to control the system.
3.4.4 Expansion Vessel*
The expansion vessel is a device whose purpose is to compensate for the increase in water volume
due to temperature rise.
WANRNING
DANGER
The placement of this device is a recommendedprocedure for the correctinstallation
of the equipment.
The installation of this device is the responsibility of the installer. The absence of
this device will void the warranty. As a general rule it is installed in the cold water
pipe.

Technical Manual

ECOTOP
3.4.5 Safety Group
The safety device allows the system to be protected against anomaly situations: cold water supply,
hot water flowing back, emptying of the storage water heater and high pressure. The valve is
calibrated to activate at 0.7 MPa).
To drain the water in the storage water heater, you should close the supply valve and open the
discharge valve.
The safety valve discharge pipe must beopen into the atmosphere, because the valve may dripwater
or even discharge water.
The safety valve must be opened regularly to remove impurities and check that it is not blocked. The
discharge pipe must be installed in a vertical position. The discharge pipe must be installed upright
away from a cold environment.
3.4.6 Pressure Reducing Valve
The pressure reducing valve must always be installed upstream from the safety device, and ready to
activate in situations when the pressure in the circuit exceeds 3 bar (0.3MPa). This valve comes with
a pressure gauge.
*Parts not supplied by the manufacturer. They must be installed by the installer.
WARNING
DANGER
The placement of this device is a mandatory procedure for the correct installation
of the equipment.
The installation of this device is the responsibility of the installer. As a general rule it
is installed in the cold water pipe.
WARNING
DANGER
The installation of the pressure reducing valve must take into account the correct
direction of the hydraulic flow.
The correct direction is represented by an arrow on the component itself.
Incorrect installation poses a danger to equipment and people.
