3. SPECIFICATIONS
3.1. Running principle
The thermodynamic solar system ECO, is
an equipment based upon the principle of
cooling by compression – Principle of Car-
not – which we designate Thermodynamic
Solar Systems: solar panel and heat-pump.
The solar panel, the main component,
placed outside, is in charge of collecting the
energy from:
• Diuse and direct solar radiation.
• External air, by natural convection.
• The wind eect (almost invariably
available).
• Rainwater.
The temperature gradient caused by the ex-
ternal agents mentioned, ensures the klea
(ecological cooling uid) will evaporate in-
side the solar panel.
The absence of glass in the panel allows for
an increased thermal exchange by convec-
tion.
After circulation in the panel, the klea is as-
pirated by the system’s mechanical compo-
nent, the compressor, which will increase its
temperature and pressure; it is then trans-
ferred to the water circuit through a heat
exchanger.
Before the Klea returns to the solar panel it
is necessary that there should be a narrow-
ing, that is, reduce the pressure and ensure
that it is again in a liquid state, thus com-
pleting the cycle.
The easy way we combine technology with
a law of Nature (change of state of a u-
id), demonstrates the true potential of the
Thermodynamic Solar System - ECO.

3.5. Safety and Control Devices
3.5.1. Pressure gauge of high/low
pressure
In case of running outside the range of
pressures recommended and dened by
the supplier, the equipment will switch o
and indicate error in the electronic panel.
3.5.2. Safety Thermostat
The safety thermostat is set by the suppli-
er to ensure that the water temperature in
the storage water heater does not exceed
the standard value. Should the temperature
exceed this value, the thermostat switches
o the support resistance. Switching on is
done manually by qualied sta, after ana-
lysing the reasons for the switch o.
3.5.3. Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor has the purpose
of measuring the values of temperature of
water in the storage water heater in order
to control the thermodynamic solar system.
The R134a is a HFC coolant, thus not harm-
ful to the ozone layer. It has great chemical
and thermal stability, low toxicity, non-in-
ammable, and is compatible with most
materials.
The following graphic depicts the behaviour
of pressure according to temperature vari-
ation.

3.5.4. Protection against corrosion
The storage water heater in this equipment
can be of two types: Stainless steel or Enam-
elled.
Besides being resistant to corrosion, the stor-
age water heater has in addition a magnesi-
um anode that should be checked periodical-
ly according to information by the installer.
3.5.5. Dielectric Joint (except
stainless steel tank)
Your ECO equipment contains two dielectric
joint. These joints prevent electron exchange
between the pipes of water inlet and out-
let and the storage water heater itself. This
creates further protection against corrosion
that could take place between these points
(Aand B).

3.5.7. Safety Device

protected against anomaly situations: cold
water supply, hot water owing back, em
tying the storage water heater and high
pressure. The valve is calibrated to activate
at 0.7 Mpa.
In order 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 be
open into the atmosphere, because the va
ve may drip water or even discharge water.
So the installer must tighten the joints (C) in
the water inlet and outlet (Aand B), be fore
attaching the piping (D), as demonstrated
in the following sequence:
3.5.6. Expansion Vessel
The expansion vessel is a device whose pur-
pose is to compensate for the increase in
water volume due to temperature rise.

4.1. Attachment of Panel
The nature of the site and the inclination
angle where the panels are installed are im-
portant factors to take into account. In or-
der to benet the most from the sunlight
exposure, the panels should have a pitch
between 100and 850relative to the hori-
zontal plane, and preferably oriented to the
south.
The panel already comes with 6 holes for
M8 in the lateral skirts. The distance be-
tween holes in the place where the panel
rests, should coincide with the holes made
in the panel.
The safety valve must be opened regular-
ly to remove impurities and check that it is
not blocked. The discharge pipe must be
installed in a vertical position.
3.5.8. 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. This
valve comes with a pressure gauge.
