Preface

This 2nd edition of the Wagner & Co international technical handbook represents
a solid cross-section of our solar technology products and know how. The last
two years saw the introduction of the newly developed highly economical TRIC A
and F racking systems. The thought out and largely pre-assembled components
allow for exible weather proof and efcient collector installation on any roof.
Another novelty is the new laser welded EURO L collector series, with the high
performance collector EURO L20 AR replacing its predecessor C20 AR. The EURO
L20 AR is the new Wagner & Co gold standard of at-plate collector technology.
Over the last 2 years, many improvements of individual components as well
as ne tuned systems led Wagner&Co to three consecutive victories in major
comparative product tests in Germany. In addition we are proud to have been
nominated for the prestigious German Sustainability Award, so we feel con-
dent that we are steering the right course, with visions also shared by our new
branches in Great Britain and the United States.
Remembering our roots in the environmental and civil rights movements of the
70s, for us solar energy is more than just another technology it is an integral
part of a sustainable lifestyle. Wagner & Co is your one-stop total systems pro-
vider in the eld of solar hot water and heating solutions and a major systems
integrator for solar power installations of any scale.
We hope you will nd the information in this handbook to be useful. Not all
products and components on offer are described here. Please refer to the cur-
rent price list and feel free to inquire with us if you have questions and special
requirements.

Solar Collectors and Racking Systems

Wagner & Co is one of the leading developers and manufacturers of solar coll-
ectors as well as collector racking systems for many different applications. The
following pages offer technical information and installation instructions for solar
collectors, solar collector racking kits and roof xing materials. Racks and roof
brackets are the result of careful structural calculations following the latest EURO-
CODE EN 1992 for wind and snow loads, allowing safe installations on most roof
types and at almost any location. The Wagner & Co construction philosophy for
racking systems features ease of use with pre-assembled components and un-
compromised safety and durability. It includes the new top installation carried
out from above that now is implemented throughout the entire product portfolio 1.1
of the TRIC A on-roof and TRIC F free standing series of collector racking sys-
tems.

2.2 Arrangements and
Installation Types
On-Roof Installation
The collectors can be installed above the roof surface with
rafter brackets and mounting rails, either horizontally or
vertically (horizontal preferred). Even during the installa-
tion, the roong remains almost completely unharmed.
We offer roof-anchors and rafter brackets for almost every
roong type. Up to 4 EURO collectors can be connected
in series. The connection hoses with pre-assembled insula-
tion also signicantly simplify the on-roof pipeworks. Dis-
tribution pipes on the roof are not required.

In-Roof Installation
The attractive in-roof installation is possible for roofs with
a minimum pitch of 27 and any tile cover. In this case the
collectors are installed vertically, with the connections
pointing upwards. The aluminium and corrugated lead
ashing can be joined without requiring soldering work
in the roof.

Free Standing Installation


The free standing setup allows horizontal or vertical instal-
lation with adjustable inclination. Concrete slabs or gravel
covered aluminium trays can be used as foundation.

2.3 Horizontal Collector Arrangement


(On Roof)
Collector sensor Collector sensor Collector sensor Collector sensor Collector sensor

= position of roof brackets

Figure 6 Horizontal collector arrangement: Up to 4 EURO in serial connection. The mounting rails run vertically. Roof brackets must be evenly
distributed (the distances of brackets are approx. values). Combinations of serial and parallel connection are also possible (see right). A EURO
on-roof expansion kit is then required.

2.4 Vertical Collector Arrangement (On Roof and In Roof)

Figure 7 Vertical collector arrangement: Up to 4 EURO in serial connection. The mounting rails run vertically. More than 4 EUROs are combined
from elds with serial and parallel connections.

Solar Storage Cylinders and Components

It is common sense knowledge that a system can only be as good as its indivi-
dual components. Although our collectors are among the worlds most effective
Flat Plate Collectors, they would still be inefcient if the provided energy were
lost in other components of the solar energy system. Wagner & Co therefore
understood early that well designed hydronic components especially efci-
ent solar storage cylinders are a key element for an optimized solar yield. The
storage cylinders designed by Wagner & Co therefore are specically developed
and dimensioned for various applications and system sizes, ranging from highly
effective small-scale single family home hot water systems to large scale resi-
dential installations with heating support and commercial applications (hotels,
campgrounds, car washes, livestock farms etc.). The programme includes fresh-
water cylinders, small single storage solutions, large buffer tanks and tank-in-tank
combi-cylinders, the latter combining the advantages of both worlds in one
compact unit. Special attention is paid to reducing energy loss for example with 1.2
the new high-quality polyester ber eece insulation introduced for some sto-
rage lines in 2010 or the new CONVECTROL III convection brake. Our series of
auxiliary electric immersion heaters and tank-installation kits for freshwater units
and solar circulation units complement the Wagner & Co storage line.

Ensure that there is no shut-off valve between cylinder
and safety valve. The safety valve must be designed to
release pressure at the maximum operating pressure. If
supply pressure is likely to be above 10 bar, a pressure
reducer must be installed between water meter and cyl-
inder. When the cylinder is heating up, water may drip
from the safety valve which should be guided to a drain.
Alternatively an expansion vessel suitable for drinking
water can be installed.

We recommend that the circulation, if required, is car-
ried out as shown in gure 8 and should be returned to
the T-junction (25) in the cold feed to the thermostatic
mixer valve. If, however, the circulation is done by a non-
regulated pump, then the return should be taken to the
circulation inlet (26) of the vessel.
Please note, that circulation can cause signicant loss
of heat.

Pressure Test of Drinking Water Circuit


Please carry out a pressure test after all drinking water
pipes and ttings are connected. Close taps after lling
cylinder with water, and check all connections and joints.

3.5 Auxiliary Heating


The auxiliary heating of drinking water can be done in vari-
ous ways. Figure 10 shows the connection options:
If auxiliary heating with the help of an oil, gas, etc. boiler
is required, then this device should be connected to the
auxiliary heating coil in the top of the vessel (5). Against
common practice we recommend the following circuit-
ry: Connect the return pipe of the heating device (1)
with the tting (2, 3, 4) to the top of the auxiliary heating
coil. Connect the ow pipe (7) in the same way to the
bottom of the auxiliary heating coil (8). Please observe 6 5
the instructions of the supplier of your heating device. 4

Figure 11 Solar installation for DHW preparation. Serial connection of ECOplus solar cylinder and monovalent hot water storage. The solar en-
ergy is distributed optimally to both cylinders by the SUNGO controller. The solar cylinder is integrated in the form of a draw-off cylinder and is
loaded with priority by the solar controller. The auxiliary heating with oil or gas boiler also is loaded to the solar cylinder. The monovalent cylinder
(only one heat exchanger) serves as preheating tank. This type of layout can be used with an existing hot water cylinder and is characterized by
reduced storage tank and system losses (principle representation, see gures 3 to 6 for real position of connections).

Figure 12 Solar installation for DHW preparation. Single storage system - solar DHW storage cylinder ECOplus and demand regulated auxiliary
heating with oil or gas boiler. The auxiliary domestic water heating is regulated by the boiler controller. The solar controller SUNGO operates the
solar circuit pump speed controlled, depending on solar irradiation and storage tank temperature. This way a continuous operation of the system
can be assured, which reduces the electricity consumption of the pump (principle representation, see gures 3 to 6 for real position of connections).

Water drips from the safety valve when the cylinder is
heated. Collect this water with a siphon funnel and lead
away. Alternatively use a membrane expansion vessel cer-
tied for for use with drinking water.

Service Water Circulation Line


When a service water circulation line has been installed,
the circulation pump must be controlled with a timer and
a thermostat to reduce heat losses. The timer ensures
the pump is operated only during those times when hot
water is needed. The thermostat switches the pump off
whenever the temperature in the circulation line exceeds
30C, for example. The described functions are already
integrated in the SUNGO controller. The circulation pump
should have a rather low throughput (max. 600 l/h).
We recommend the circulation pump BW152 (Part no.
160 102 14) with integrated shutoff valve and backow
preventer as well as the piping depicted in g.1.
The circulation return should be integrated between safe-
ty subassembly and cold water supply of the thermostatic
mixing valve to realize a circuit.
If the suggested circulation control with thermostat and
timer cannot be realized because of local circumstances,
apply the circulation line to the connection (" M) at the
ange of the drinking water solar cylinder.

Convection Brake CONVECTROL III


The patented and easily installed component separates
the water that cooled down in the connection pipes from
the hot water contained in the storage.
The CONVECTROL III can reduce heat losses at the stor-
age connections by up to 50 %. The total annual storage
losses thus can be reduced by 10 % to 20 %.

3. Installation
Technical information that might be relevant for the instal-
lation of the storage is published in the Technical Infor-
mation Ratio Buffer Cylinder, (le no. 1WA10090). These
include cutaways, technical data and sample schemes of
typical system solutions.
All storage connection stubs are cylindrical and designed
for use with special heat resistant at gaskets. The original
gaskets from our connection sets should be used or alter-
natively gaskets of identical quality. 1
When using the buffer cylinder with a RATIOcompact
System refer to the separate RATIOcompact installation
instructions in place of the chapters 3.2 to 3.4.

First, place outer oor insulating ring around the bot-
tom of the buffer cylinder.
If an immersion heater is installed (EHK), the cut-out

12)
In case of a one-part insulation jacket, lay insulation
around the cylinder and close hook closure.
In case of insulation jackets consisting of several sec-
tions, connect sections at hook closure, close hooks at
connection row last.*
Depending on the storage type, different installation
tools are supplied (see gures 13 and 14).

6. Troubleshooting
Flat sealing gaskets tend to settle during the rst months
of operation. Insufciently tightened pipe connections
may result in slight leaking. The connections then must
be re-tightened.

7. Care and Maintenance


The storage should be cleaned and maintained at least
every 2 years, otherwise the warranty is void.
Check for leak-tightness at storage and connections.
Watch out for signs of scaling or moist spots at the in-
sulation, Re-tighten connections, if required.
Check the safety valve by test-venting.
Vent the storage (for individual steps see chapter 4)
Fill in and sign the maintenance protocol.

Renew at sealing gaskets whenever a connection is


opened. Otherwise leak tightness cannot be guaranteed
anymore.

3. Functional Description
Basic Principle 4
The RATIOfresh 250/400 Freshwater Unit heats up dome- 10
stic water via the ow-through principle. When hot wa-
16 7
ter is drawn, the primary circuit pump (3) pumps heating
water from the buffer storage through the stainless steel 11 12
plate heat exchanger (2).
On the other side of the plate heat exchanger (secondary
circuit), the domestic water is heated up to the set tempe- 6
rature (adjustable at controller (1), factory-setting 50 C).
The now cooled heating water ows back to the lower
section of the buffer storage.

Output Regulation
9
With the assistance of temperature sensors in hot water
exit (12) and primary ow (16), the output of the primary
circuit pump is precisely matched to the tapping volume
2 8
ow.
The speed control of the primary circuit pump allows for
a constant tapping temperature and low primary return 13
ow temperatures. The latter helps to improve the tempe-
rature stratication within the buffer storage. 15

Protection against Legionella


The unit allows for thermal disinfection of the hot water

and circulation pipes with a programmable schedule. If

required, aux. heating of the storage cylinder can be re-


quested via a potential-free relay, and then the pipe net-
work can be disinfected with hot water. 5

Operating in Stand-by Modus


The stand-by temperature keeping function allows for in-
stant hot water supply, also after long times without tap- 14
ping. This function can also be utilised as frost protection.

Installation of a safety group is required for the cold 20
water inlet (see g. 13).
For cold water pressure > 10 bar install pressure re-
ducer. 18
Pipeworks in primary circuit (storage-unit) should be as
short as possible.
For domestic water with hardness > 10 dH (7.98 e)
install rinsing valves. (see g. 12).
Unnecessarily high water temperatures increase the 10
energy consumption

The temperature sensor (14) should measure the ow


temperature of the unit as precisely as possible. It must
therefore be set to the highest position (32) of the sen-
sor connection strip. When using a storage from anoth-
er manufacturer use soft foam tape to attach the sensor
to the cylinder wall; assure good surface contact.
Carry out connections at sealing.
Install bleeder (36) if required.
The primary circuit must be hydraulically separated
from other pumps! Multiple congurations of ow and
return ow therefore are not possible.
Keep pipe lengths in primary circuit short to avoid heat
loss and time lags. Besides that high pressure loss can
result in reduced performance.

3. Functional Description
The RATIOfresh 200 fresh water station heats up domes-
tic water via the ow-through principle. When hot water is 8
drawn, the primary circuit pump (3) pumps heating water 7
from the buffer storage through the stainless steel plate
heat exchanger (2).
9 1
On the other side of the plate heat exchanger (secondary
side) the domestic water is heated up to the set tempera- 5
ture (adjustable at controller (1), pre-setting: 45 C). The 6
now cooled heating water ows back to the lower section
of the buffer storage.
The output of the primary circuit pump is precisely calcu-
lated to match the volume ow resulting from the drawn
quantity. This is achieved with the combined sensor for
ow and temperature (6), the temperature sensors in the
cold water feed (5) and in the primary ow (not in g.!). 2
The precise speed control of the primary circuit pump al-
lows for a constant tapping temperature as well as very low
primary return ow temperatures. Therefore the tempera- 3
ture stratication within the buffer storage is preserved.

4. Operation
The freshwater unit usually does not require any attention.
Please still observe the following points:
Observe messages shown on the controller display (see
controller instructions)
The set hot water temperature can be changed in the
controller menu set (see controller instructions)
Selecting lower hot water and/or aux. heating tempera-
tures for the buffer storage reduces the energy demand
and increases the solar yield.
Please inform technical staff about damages and / or
failures
The installation should be subjected to regular mainte-
nance intervals.

a long history of improvement, optimization and diversication. All in all Wagner
& Co currently offers 5 solar controllers to meet the requirements of every possi-
ble project (4 of which are presented in this handbook). Speed controlled pumps
signicantly reduce the electricity consumption and the numerous additional
control and analysis functions of the SUNGO controllers allow optimal control of
a small scale single-collector single-tank solution as well as a multiple collector
multiple tank solution with multiple additional heat sources and extra functions,
e.g. pool heating (with SUNGO SXL). Other system components include expansi-
on vessels, electronic diverter valves, thermostatic mixing valves, heat meters and
more.

Weight approx. 150 g as soon as the difference falls below the turn-off value.

System Protection
If the collector temperature at sensor T1 rises above
the xed value of 135 C, the solar circulation pump is
switched off, despite operational temperature difference.
This way a destruction or damage of components of the
solar circuit is avoided.
The system protection is deactivated as soon as the tem-
perature at the collector falls below 100 C.

SECUSOL Function
The solar heating system is operated on a drain back prin-
ciple. This means, if the solar circulation pump is not acti-
vated, there is no solar uid in the collectors and risers. See
SECUSOL manual for further details.

2.3 Installation and 1.4


Operating Information
Any installation and wiring work has to be carried out
in an idle state as during operation the voltage on the
outside of the triac is 230 V.
Mains power must be connected to the controller from
outside the solar station via an external ON/OFF switch.
Operating temperatures above 50 C are not permitted
for the controller.
The base of the control is divided into a safe low volt-
age section and a 230 V section by a crosspiece. Make
sure that you do not confuse these sections during the
installation process!
The standard operating mode is the automatic mode.
Manual operation is used only for functional testing of
the pump.
Do not operate the system if the controller, the wiring
or the connected 230 V mains or consumer are visibly
damaged.
The control is tted with a mains microfuse.
Collectors and hydraulic pipe work can get extremely
hot during solar irradiation. There is a risk of scalding
when tting the collector temperature sensor.

Balance Values
In addition to the actual values of the sensors T1 (collector)
and T2 (tank, lower half) the display also shows balance
values which represent the min. and max. temperature
values for each sensor. When reset the current actual tem-
perature value is displayed.

272 EN-XXX_SUNGO-S_BA-100121-1122P200
Vacuum Tube Collector Function
The vacuum tube collector function allows operation of
the solar heating system even if sensor T1 (collector) is in-
stalled in the connecting pipe of the collector. If the tem-
perature increase at sensor T1 exceeds the preset switch-
on value for the collector temperature increase (standard:
1K) the solar circuit pump is switched on for the duration
of a preset lag time (standard: 15s).
During this time the switch-on difference and the solar
charge between sensor T1 (collector) and sensor T 2 (tank,
lower half) has to be activated, otherwise the solar circula-
tion pump will switch off again.
The rise in temperature at sensor T1 (collector) is measured
again immediately after the last runtime of the pump.

System Messages
The system messages for interrupted or shorted-out sen-
sors are represented by symbols on the display. For better
readability of the system message the display illumination
switches on and off every second as long as the error pre-
vails and no key entry is made.

Triac
The Triac is an electronic on/off switch for the 230 V out-
puts of the SUNGO controllers.
Function: A triac switch consists of 2 diodes which can be
switched anti-parallel (= antiparallel thyristors). The thyris-
tors switch through the positive or negative sine half-wave
as long as a switch-on difference exists. The triac switch
switches off when the temperature falls below the switch-
off difference.
1.4
System Protection
In order to protect system components like solar circula-
tion pump, 2-/3 way valves etc. that are installed in the
solar circuit against excess temperatures, solar charging
is stopped entirely as soon as a set temperature limit is
exceeded at sensor T1 (collector), even when charging
would still be possible due to the temperature difference
between sensor T1 (collector) and sensor T2 (storage cyl-
inder).

The standard temperature value to activate the system


protection is set at 135 C. However, it is possible to set a
variable value between 115 C and 200 C.

Bypass Bypass
For systems with bypass, solar loading of buffers does not take place until the solar circuit
ow (T9) has reached a sufcient temperature. The bypass can be realized with a valve or a
plate heat exchanger (PHE) and a secondary circuit pump. With option Valve and PHE,
CIRCO

ECOplus
output A2 is switched on when the preset temp. difference T9 to either T2, T4 or T5 is
T9 reached. However, with option PHE the solar circuit pump is not speed-controlled but the
T2 secondary circuit pump instead. The speed of the solar circuit pump has to be set to 100%
A2 volume ow if desired (see special function Primary circuit).
Valve PHE

Tube collector
The tube collector function makes it possible to operate the solar system if the collector
sensor is mounted inside of the connection line of the connector. The delta T option is
automatically activated if an irradiation sensor is not connected.
In this case, the solar circuit pump is switched on acc. to a specic temperature increase
which is detected by sensor T1. The solar circuit pump remains switched on for the set
runtime and is switched off if the preset temp. difference between heat sink and solar circuit
is not reached.
It is also possible to select the Irradiation option if the irradiation sensor is connected. This
means the solar circuit pump is switched on for a short time when irradiation exceeds the
threshold value. The irradiation threshold value can be adjusted by the controller auto-
adaptively.

Return flow boost Return ow boost (temperature difference control)


Heating circuit Simple heating support that leads the return ow of the heating circuit (T8) directly to the
heating boiler or to the solar tank by switching the 3-way valve with output A6 in
dependence of the set temperature difference to the tank sensor (T7).
T8 Boiler

Thermostat A Thermostat A (adjustable switching threshold)


Thermostat A offers the options Heating and Cooling by preselecting.
With the option Heating output A3 switches on when the temperature T4 falls below the set
T3 T4 switch-on temperature. The output switches off when the temperature T4 is greater than the
Circulation switch-on temperature plus the switch-off difference.
A3 With the Variation Cooling output A3 switches on when the temperature T4 exceeds a
preset temperature to switch on. The output switches off when the temperature T4 is less
than the switch-on temperature minus the switch-off difference.
An additional sensor can be activated with the Heating Variation. The output is then only
switched on when the temperature T3 is greater than the switch-on temperature plus the
switch-off difference plus the additional sensor switching difference. E.g. that is useful if
circulation shouldnt run in case there is not enough heat stored.
Independent time windows can be specied for thermostat A. The conditions listed above
are only interpreted within the respective time window.

Thermostat B Thermostat B (adjustable switching threshold)


Thermostat B offers the options Heating and Cooling by preselecting.
A4 The temperature sensor to be used for the thermostat function can be freely selected. With
the Heating Variation, output A4 (system 1241: A3) switches on when the temperature at
T3** Boiler
the sensor falls below the set switch-on temperature. The output switches off when the
temperature is greater than the switch-on temperature plus the switch-off difference.
With the Variation Cooling, output A4 switches on when the temperature exceeds the set
switch-on temperature. The output switches off when the temperature is less than the
switch-on temperature minus the switch-off difference.
Three independent time windows can be specied for thermostat B.

Degermination Degermination
To avoid or prevent the spread of legionella bacteria in drinking water, some system setups
(depending on local rules and regulations) require the use this function. Once activated, this
A5 function heats the entire drinking water tank to at least 60 C once a day. The adjustable start
time, heating duration, and switch-off temperature are used to modify this function.
Output A5 is only activated if the set target temperature was not already reached during the
previous 20 hrs, e.g. by solar heating. The reference temperature is measured at the bottom
of the drinking water tank (T2, layout 1251: T8).
Note: The ow temperature of the boiler must be adjusted to the required heating
conditions.

Control option (def. control) Control option (def. control)


(adjustable switching threshold or temperature difference control)
With the control option function, it is possible to select either temperature difference
T7**
A2 control or thermostat function. The temperature sensor can be freely assigned in this case.
Temp. difference The temperature difference control offers a choice of the following options: On and off
T8** or thermostat F switching difference, max. temperature for sink (sensor 2), and min. temperature for source
(sensor 1).
Thermostat F corresponds with thermostat A. Three independent time windows can be
specied for thermostat F or the difference controller.

Yield measurement Yield measurement


Intended to determine the solar yield in kWh. A volume meter and a second measuring
sensor are used to calculate the generated amount of heat. The sensor that is used to
T1** measure the ow temperature can be freely selected (e.g. collector sensor).
Solar Note: Use the option FV instead of the usual HQM to measure the yield without a volume
flow
meter. This option works with a xed volume ow entered into the controller and can
T6
therefore only be used as a function check. The exact determination of the amount of heat is
Solar not possible with the DFM option. The solar circuit pump should also be operated with a
E10 return
xed speed when using this option.

System protection
The solar circuit pump is switched off when the set collector temperature has been
exceeded.
Collector cooling 1.4
The solar circuit pump is switched off when the tank has been heated up to the tank limit
temperature. If the collector temperature rises to the set start temperature, the solar circuit
pump is switched on again until the collector temperature has dropped by the switch-off
difference.
This additional interval loading of the tank ensures that the collector does not stagnate too
often. The system switches off entirely when the tank limit temperature has been exceeded
by 5 K.
Tank cooling
If the tank cooling function is active, the solar circuit pump is switched on if the collector
temperature drops below the tank temperature by 2 K. The excess energy in the tank is
dispersed via the collector until the value drops below the set switch-off temperature. The
tank cooling function can be activated only if the collector cooling function is switched on.

Pool protection Pool protection


The pool protection uses a measuring sensor to monitor the ow temperature of the
secondary circuit for the pool heating. If the temperature at the measuring sensor (T5, layout
T5
1223: T9) exceeds the set switch-off threshold, solar heating is interrupted. The interruption
is saved as a system message (see menu option Special functions, Messages).

Details for system 1241 (page 312)
System 1241 with a combinend solar / heating system with storage tank/combi tank as
hydraulic switch and with a heating circuit is able to cover all important control functions:
Solar storage heating (single tank system)
Boiler heating of the permanent buffer part in the tank with thermostat B
Thermostat B is already active with system 1241 (default setting: Option Heating
switch-on temperature 50 C). With system 1241, hot water heating has priority, which
means that the heating circuit pump (output A2) is switched off and the heating circuit
mixing valve will be closed completely if thermostat B switches on boiler demand (A3).
Boiler demand for room heating acc. to heating curve
The heating demand for heating the middle storage zone (T4) is based on the set values
for the heating curve and the desired excess temperature in the buffer storage.
The tank loading pump (e.g. when using the LIGNOplus pellet boiler) can be controlled
with the help of the control option. Just select the temperature difference control option
and mount a sensor to measure the boiler temperature (T7). As soon as the boiler
temperature exceeds the switch-on difference in the middle of the tank,the tank loading
pump is switched on. The control option is not active in the default setting for system 1241.
Mixing valve actuation for a heating circuit acc. to heating curve (see below).
Speed control of the heating circulation pump (see below, correspond with the
CIRcontroller in the function).

Heating curve Heating curve (only for system 1241)


The weather-based control of a mixed heating circuit is carried out by determining the
heating curve here. The heating circuit mixing valve is controlled according to the heating
curve and the measured outdoor temperature. Lowering times as well as the modes Auto,
T5 T9 Summer, Party and Emission (Chimneysweep) can be activated to this purpose in the
menu settings.
The excess temperature in the storage tank (sensor T4) compared with the heating circuit
A4/5 ow can be specied here as well. If values drop below ow temperature plus excess
temperature in the storage tank, output A3 is used to trigger the boiler.

2.3 Description of Additional Functions


Solar circuit operation
The solar circuit pump is switched on/off when the preset start or stop temp. difference has
been reached. It is also possible to specify a limit temperature for the tank. The solar circuit
pump is speed-controlled so that an adjustable temperature difference between collector
and tank can be maintained if possible. The min. speed can be specied (100%: no
speed-control).
2-tank operation
To ensure the selected priority tank is heated up when the collector produces sufciently, the
controller checks the progression of the temperatures in the collector and priority tank and
possibly pauses the solar circuit pump for the duration of the control time. If the collector
temperature then reaches a sufcient value, the system switches to the priority tank.
Priority
The SUNGO SXL controller offers a choice of assigning priority to tank 1 or tank 2.
Tank 3 cannot be a priority tank.

Loading preheat tank Heating of the preheating tank (only system 1251, p. 313)
Serves to shift heat from a storage tank system to a drinking water tank (preheating tank)
1.4
T3 using a temperature difference control with two-point measurement function.
If the temperature in the storage tank top (T3) is larger than the temperature at the upper
Tank 1 Tank 3
measuring point in the preheating tank (T7) by the value of the switch-on difference,, the
A3 T7 loading pump is switched on via A3. If the difference between the temperature in the storage
tank top and the temperature at the lower measuring point in the preheating tank (T8) is
T8 lower than the switch-off difference, the loading pump is switched off.
Storing the preheating tank is stopped once the limit temperature has been reached (at T8).
Additionally, a min. temperature (T3) can be selected for the storage tank, below which a
storage shift is not initiated.
Triac
The triac is an electronic switch to switch the 230 V outputs of the SUNGO S, SL, and SXL
controller on or off.
How it works: A triac consists of 2 antiparallel switchable diodes (= antiparallel thyristors). The
thyristors switch through the positive or negative sine half-wave as long as a switching-on
difference exists. The triac switches off when the value drops below the switch-off difference.

The controller can be integrated into the solar station
CIRCO 5/6 or mounted on the wall.

Application Limits
If used in other than solar thermal applications, the
functionality of the controller has to be checked before
initial start-up. If in doubt, contact the controller service
of Wagner & Co.
Usage that is not in compliance with the intended use
description always invalidates the warranty.

ception: A2, see above).

Connecting Temperature Sensors


The wires of the temperature sensors can be extend-
ed as follows: Up to a length of 15 m = 2 x 0.5 mm,
up to 50 m = 2 x 0.75 mm. In case of long connec-
tions to the collector, shielded cables should be used.
Do not connect the shielding at the sensor end, just trim
and isolate!
The temperature sensors can be connected either way.
They do not have any polarity.
The sensor wires must be installed separately from 230
V mains lines.

Lightning Protection Module


The SUNGO SXL is tted with surge protection on all sen-
sor inputs. Generally, further protection of the sensors in
the basement is not required.
Sensor T1 (collector) must be be tted with the sensor con-
nection box SP2 with integrated surge arrestor.

Heat Meter
WMZ for SUNGO SL / SXL

Function
The heat meter for the solar controller SUNGO SL / SXL
consists of a volume ow meter and an additional sen-
sor for the return ow. It allows metering the heat energy
yielded by the system.

The heat quantity is analyzed via the volume ow, the tem-
perature difference and the properties of the heat carrying
medium. The ow temperature is equivalent to the tem-
perature T1 (collector), and the return ow is measured
with the additional sensor. The total yield of the system
in kw/h is then calculated using the heat quantity formula
Q=Vx xcp xT stored in the controller.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

External Heat Exchangers

Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE)


The plate heat exchangers consist of copper brazed stain-
less steel plates (1.4401) with pressed in troughs. The de-
livery includes a tightly tting environmentally compatible
EPP hard foam insulation shell.
The troughs cause a turbulent ow of the heat carrier uid
in the two opposite channels, which results in a very effec-
tive heat exchange process and high power density. Sca-
ling is also considerably reduced.

PHEs can be used for many solar thermal applications. e.g.


DHW preparation or pool heating (max. chlorid content of
the water 100 mg/l) as well as heat generation with con-
densing and low temperature boilers. Our service: specic
size calculation and supply of special custom made sizes.

Compact Solar Hot Water Systems

Specically developed for domestic hot water preparation at lower geographical


latitudes, the compact solar hot water drainback line SECUSOL and the all-in-one
SECUTERM thermosiphon kits offer safe and highly economical opportunities to
utilize the sun and save signicant amounts of energy, especially when electric
water heating is replaced by solar heat. The award winning design of the SECU-
SOL drainback system is strikingly easy to install, reducing required skills and
parts to a minimum while at the same time offering inherent system safety.

The SECUTERM thermosiphon kits come with several design improvements over
conventional thermosiphon systems, combining a powerful collector, operational
safety and ease of use in one compact and installation with excellent cost-benet
ratio.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION / INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SECUSOL Solar Compact System

Inherent Operational Safety


The design principle guarantees absolute shut-off and
stagnation safety. When the pump is not in operation
there is no solar uid present in the collectors. Therefore
the solar uid and any downstream system components
are safe from overheating. Unwanted gravitational forces
and operational faults due to air pockets are eliminated.
A service intensive membrane expansion vessel is not
required. Operation with common anti-freeze solar uid
prevents potential frost damage.

Powerful Performance
Highly transparent anti-reective glass, single plate ab-
sorber panels and well insulated components guarantee
high yields. Operational safety, excellent workmanship
and ongoing quality control ensure future performance.

Easy Installation
Storage tank, solar controller and the pump assembly in-
cluding all safety equipment are delivered as a pre-assem-
bled unit. Therefore there is no need to install the solar
station, the expansion vessel and the controller. A double
copper pipe with a diameter of only 12 mm allows fast
installation of the pipes. The system is designed for a maxi-
mum installation height of 8.5meters and a collector loop
length of 30meters. 1.5
Quick Startup
The rinsing and lling processes for the system are easy.
Venting of the system and setting of the correct expansion
vessel primary pressure or the ow rate are not required
at all.

Compact and Space-Saving Design Figure 1 SECUSOL System


The system design is compact with integrated compo-
nents. A solar station and an expansion vessel are not re-
quired. The controller is attached to the storage tank cover
and therefore easily accessible. Figure 2 Solar Keymark label Solar Keymark

Solar faction is the ratio of the energy provided by the solar energy system in relation to the total hot water demand from a hot water
source.
2 In order to achieve higher frost protection the glycol content needs to be increased to beyond 33 %. However, this results in a reduced
maximum installation height and length of solar circuit. If required feel free to consult our technical dept.

Safety Note
Before installing the collectors please read the informa-
tion leaet Safety Precautions for the Installation of Col-
lectors. Note the statutory accident regulations as well as
the technical installation rules described in this leaet.
The SECUSOL system is suitable for on-roof and free
standing installation. The collectors have to be mounted
horizontally to allow them to empty in idle state and dur-
ing stagnation.

3.2 On-Roof Installation


The on-roof mounting system allows fast installation of the
collectors on a pitched roof without having to open larg-
er parts of the roof. This is achieved by positioning rafter
brackets on the roof. Rafter brackets of type P are suitable
for rafter roofs with traditional roof tiles. For concrete roofs
use type M rafter brackets. There are also other bracket
types available. Two vertical mounting rails are xed to the,
rafter brackets and the collector is installed horizontally on
these brackets. All individual components are shown in g-
ure8.

be derived from gures 5, 6 and 13 as well as table 9. 5
The rafter brackets P Stv and PM are xed with the two
self tapping screws to the rafter directly above a purlin,
as shown in gure 10. Observe the minimum distance
to the roof tile underneath. The mounting rails are xed
with a clamping angle (gure 13, detail 2).
If the roof features a sufciently solid concrete plate the
roof anchors type M can be used as an alternative. Ac-
cording to gure 10 rst drill holes (diameter 14 mm)
through tiles and concrete plate, insert dowels (1) and
screw in the stair bolt (2). Then attach the EPDM rubber
seal (4) and washer (3) using the rst nut (6), counter Figure 10 Proper xing of the rafter bracket types PStv and PM

with 2 nuts.
The mounting rails are installed on rafter brackets and
roof anchors using T-bolts (see gure 12). Hereunto in-
sert the T-bolt head into the rail (4), turn 90 clockwise
(see detail) and screw with nut (5) to holder (2).
To install two collectors side by side, two on-roof in-
stallation sets have to be installed parallel next to each
other with sufcient spacing to allow the installation of
a straight connection piece between the collectors (see
gure 32).
After completing the installation works, check all screw
connections for tightness.

3.6 Laying the Solar Circuit
Connecting the Solar Subassemblies (gure 28)
Please note: when the pipes of the solar circuit are sol-
dered, they must be ushed before connecting them to
the storage cylinder (see chapter 4, Start-Up).
Connect the inlet subassembly to the solar inlet of the
storage tank (6) using the locking nut (5). Dont forget L 11
the at seal (2). Align the lling tap horizontally or up-
wards.
The screw ttings of the return and the inlet subassem- H
blies should be re-tightened to ensure leak tightness.
Operational faults can lead to a discharge of uids from
the safety valve (7). To avoid soaking of the cylinder
insulation we recommend discharging the uid with a L 10
Cu22x1 pipe or similar via the back ventilation opening
at the bottom of the insulation (to be provided on site).

If the collectors are installed next to each other, the 4
fastening clips of one of the collectors must be loos-

ring connectors. Slightly push the collector sideward on
the mounting rails. Move it back to its original position
after placing the compression ring tting. Then tighten
the nut of the tting. In order to prevent deformation
of the absorber ensure no pressure is applied to the
absorber pipe. Finally tighten the nuts of the fastening
clips of the collector in the right position.
Check all screws for tightness after completing the in-
stallation.

3.7 Installing an Auxiliary Heat Source
Auxiliary heating of domestic water can be done in various
ways. Figure33 shows the connection options.
If for SECUSOL 250-2 or 350 auxiliary heating with oil,
gas, etc. burner is required, then this device should
be connected to the auxiliary heating coil in the cylin-
der (3). We recommend connecting the aux. heating
circuit ow (5) to the ow of the auxiliary heating coil
(6) and connecting the return pipe of the heating de- 7

vice/aux. heating circuit (1) to the return of the auxil-
iary heating coil (4). With this piping the ow direction
in the heat exchanger is from bottom to top. As pipe

Wall-Installation of Controller
Instead of being installed at the cylinder, all controllers can
also be xed to a wall. To this end the controllers must be s2
unscrewed from their hooks, and sensor as well as mains k
cables may have to be extended. Refer to the controller
manuals for details.

Installing the Sensor (gures 34, 35)


Pass the collector sensor connection cable (k) under the
insulation to the solar ow and connect to sensor cable
via luster terminal. s
Note that only the cables included in the delivery or
cables temperature resistant up to 110C may be used!
The temperature sensor cables must not be bent or
p2
placed under tension, minimum bending radius 50mm.
The SUNGO SL controller features an additional mains
exit (e.g. for controlling an additional pump) as well as n
an additional temperature sensor. It can be used to ac-
cess an aux. heating pump or to measure the tempera- p
ture of the cylinder's standby-section (see gure 35).

insert the insulation lid (2) into the top. Then place stor-
age tank cover (3) on the top and adjust in such a way
that the cutout is placed directly above the controller.
The larger holes at the bottom of the insulation (4) serve
as cooling vents for the circulation pump and must not
be covered during system operation!

* For a fault-free operation, the circulation pump used in the system requires a specic minimum uid column on the intake side (i.e.
towards the tank). If this height is undercut the so-called cavitation phenomenon occurs. This is a sudden vaporization of minute amounts
of uid which can cause mechanical damage to the pump wheel. Undercutting the gas solubility limitations may also lead to air bubbles
in the wheel area which can reduce the performance of the pump.
Cavitation can be noticed easily the pump then causes audible owing noises during operation, and at the same time the output
pressure drops considerably.
To prevent cavitation, the lling capacity of the system must be observed minutely. Furthermore a build-up of over-pressure must be
possible when the solar uid warms up and expands. For this reason the system must always be hermetically sealed.

tion) and hence requires no pump.
Whenever the temperature at the thermostatic safety
valve rises above 95 C, the valve will close immediately.
At 100C or above, the evaporating solar liquid in the col-
lector pushes the solar liquid via the return pipe into the
storage. The air volume (5) inside the storage cylinder is
compressed and therefore functions as an expansion ves-
sel. There will be only steam left inside the collector. Even
during longer periods of stagnation no solar liquid or
drinking water is lost.

2. General Safety Instructions
2.1 Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout the instruc-
tions and are to be observed:

DANGER of possibly serious personal injury

CAUTION against material damage.

NOTE as additional information

2.2 Pre-Installation Notes


Risk of scalding at collector connections: connections
may get extremely hot when exposed to sunlight!
Risk of injury from sharp metal sheets and edges

2.3 Operator Qualications


Setting-up, installation and correct commissioning of the
solar installation must be carried out by a certied expert.
Please note that in case of a complaint the warranty is only
valid if correct commissioning has been certied.

2.4 Operating Requirements


1.5
The system is designed for domestic hot water prepa-
ration. Use a water-glycol mixture as solar liquid for the
closed collector loop (for both: freezing and corrosion
protection). If the solar circuit is operated with pure water,
the system can be damaged irreversibly in the event of
freezing. In this case and in periods with a higher frost risk,
make sure to completely drain the parts potentially sensi-
tive to freezing in the solar circuit as well as in the drinking
water circuit.
The recommended water-glycol mixture assures freeze
protection in the solar circuit down to -10 C. If necessary,
please increase the fraction of solar liquid (glycol with
moderators) as required. See technical information DC 20.

4. Maintenance
The system must be checked by a trained and authorized
person every two years. Following actions are essen-
tial; therst number within the bracket refers to gure 5
(SECUterm 200 P) the second number refers to gure 7
(SECUterm 300P):

Checking the Solar Liquid


Open the closing plug (21/24) and take out some drops
of the solar liquid using a clean stick or a pipette. Apply
those drops to litmus paper to measure the pH-value of
the solar liquid. If the liquid falls below the 7.5 pH-value,
a corrosion protection can not be provided any longer.
You will have to exchange the solar liquid in order to
prevent corrosion.
Measure the freezing protection ability by using a re-
fractometer or an equivalent density meter. Replace
solar liquid if needed.

Checking the Anode


Disconnect power supply of the heating element
(24/27). Thoroughly drain the freshwater part.
Then remove the side cap (22/25). Unscrew xing
screws of the heating element and remove it in order to
check the sacricing anode. Replace anode if it has an
average diameter of less than 7 mm (SECUterm 200P)
or 11 mm (SECUterm 300 P) respectively. Reinstall heat-
ing element.
Reattach the side cap, ll freshwater section again and
reconnect the heating element to the power supply.

tion) and hence requires no pump.
Whenever the temperature at the thermostatic safety
valve rises above 95 C, the valve will close immediately.
At 100C or above, the evaporating solar liquid in the col-
lector pushes the solar liquid via the return pipe into the
storage. The air volume (5) inside the storage cylinder is
compressed and therefore functions as an expansion ves-
sel. There will be only steam left inside the collector. Even
during longer periods of stagnation no solar liquid or
drinking water is lost, and the system remains operational.

1. Safety Symbols
The following symbols are used throughout these instruc-
tions and must be adhered to:

DANGER of possibly serious personal injury

WARNING against material damage

NOTE as additional information Figure 3 Mineral wool pipe insulation

2. Solar Circuit
Components
Pipe work
Pipe connections
(Screw joints, solder/press ttings, etc.)
Piping insulation
Built-in components (CIRCO solar circulation unit, heat
meter, de-aerator etc.)
The solar circuit must always be composed of material ap-
propriate to the temperature and pressure as well as the
heat transfer medium (propylene glycol with inhibitors).

Pipe Work and Connections


Hard or soft copper piping. Figure 4 Twinex TVA rapid piping system
Twinex TVA stainless steel corrugated tube (g. 4).
Hard soldering, press ttings with approved sealing ma-
terial, soft soldering with SnCu3 (not for vacuum tube
collectors or collector areas > 30 m2.
Use approved sealants, e.g. hemp or a pipe-sealing
compound (e.g. Fermit). Teon tape is not suitable.

Insulating Material
Temperature resistant EPDM insulation hose.
Mineral wool shells for dry areas (g. 3).
Insulation used outdoors must be UV resistant or pro-
tected against UV radiation (e.g. by metal cover).

Components for the Solar Circuit


Automatic bleeder (g. 6) with a temperature resistant
shut-off valve (max. 200 C). This is not necessary when
a deaerator and an efcient lling pump are used. Figure 5 Cap valve for expansion vessel allows for in-operation pres-
Deaeration pipe for vertical installation in pipes (g. 7). sure checks and expansion vessel exchange.
We strongly recommend installing a cap valve (g. 5)
before the expansion vessel. It allows for convenient
regular checks of the proper pre-pressure.

Qualication of the Installer


Setup, installation and proper startup of the solar instal-
lation must be carried out by a qualied and certied in-
staller based upon the installation instructions. Failure to
comply will render the warranty void.

422 EN-XXX_Solar-Thermal-Systems_TI-100127-11209000
2.1 Safety Components
Safety Components of the Solar Circulation Unit
The installation must be equipped with a safety group con-
sisting of safety valve, pressure-meter and solar expansion
vessel (g. 8). There must be no shut-off between safety
valve and collectors! For ease of maintenance the expan-
sion vessel should be connected via a cap valve, also al-
lowing for replacement without draining the pipes.
Connect blow off pipe (1) to the safety valve (2) and place
temperature resistant container underneath. When using
a plastic container (e.g. empty DC20 canister), ll with sev-
eral liters of cold water as temperature buffer. The end of
the blow off pipe should be submerged.

Protection Against Scalding and Burning
The temperatures within the solar storage cylinders can
rise signicantly beyond 60 C. In order to avoid scalding
at taps, the following technical measures can be taken:
Installation of a thermostatic mixer (g. 9), e.g. the Wag-
ner thermostatic mixing valve BM. For detailed installa-
tion procedures please see the technical information.
Set the solar controller to a limiting storage tempera- Figure 9 High hot water temperatures from the solar storage are regu-
ture below critical values (e.g. 60 C). Note: this can re- lated down to a set temperature between 35 C and 55 C.
duce the solar yield to some extend.
Use thermostatic taps at all outlets.
Scalding at taps is no issue in systems with properly pro-
grammed RATIOfresh freshwater stations.

Potential Equalization and Lightning Protection


The collector installation must be professionally integrated
with an existing or new lightning protection system. The
entire solar circuit must be equipped with potential equal-
ization! We offer suitable earthing clamps as part of our
accessories (g. 10). Flow and return pipes must be con-
nected to the potential equalization of the building.

Figure 10 For potential equalization attach earthing clamps at both


solar circuit pipe legs and connect to grounding bar with cable of min.
6 mm cross section.

Surge Arrestor Sensor Connection Box


In order to reduce surge related damages to the solar con-
troller during thunderstorms and possibly resulting dam-
age to other electrical components, we strongly recom-
mend using our sensor connection box with built in surge
arrestor. It is connected parallel to the collector-sensor.
Figure 11 The sensor connection box SP2 protects the collector sen-
sor and the other connected components against power surges. Water
resistant version.

For some solar installations with vertically installed collec-
tors of the types EURO L20 AR and C20 AR, special mea-
sures should be taken to avoid overheating. Otherwise
excessive steam forming during stagnation might reach
the solar circulation unit, where it potentially can damage
components. The affected installation variations and rec-
ommended measures are described in table 1.
Dangerously high temperatures can occur in pre-vessel
and expansion vessel in case of stagnation!

The shut-off valve is actuated parallel to the solar circu-
lation pump. Set solar controllers with speed control to
100 % or use additional relay (relay S-SXL with switching
delay). The electromotive 2-way shut-off valve VMR was
designed for this purpose. This valve is characterized by
excellent temperature resistance, and electricity is only
consumed during switching.

4. Startup
Never ll the system when collector temperatures are
very high! During exposure to solar radiation cover col-
lectors with material resistant to high temperatures, and
let them cool down! Risk of scalding during high tem-
peratures in solar circuit (collectors > 60C)! Possibility
of steam formation during high solar irradiation.
Check for correct pre-pressure of expansion vessel (see
chapter 4.6).

Sun Path Indicator

Function
This device allows examining whether trees, buildings etc,
will cast shadows on planned module or collector surfaces.
Shadowing can result in reduced effectiveness of a solar
energy system.
The transparent sun path sheet displays the relevant an-
nual irradiation curves with respect to the daily sunshine
hours.
If you look through the device after aligning it south using
the compass, you will be able to identify objects which will
obstruct the path of the sun at a given time and therefore
cast a shadow.
The installation location for solar collectors or solar mod-
ules is optimally chosen when no shadowing occurs or
shadowing only occurs very early or late during the day.
Especially during the transition periods in autumn and
spring a solar system with combined hot water and space
heating support should not be subject to shadowing. A
system mounted on a roof with Western orientation natu-
rally must not be shadowed during the afternoon.
Figure 1: The sun path indicator is a clever device for determining pos-
sible shadowing at the collector site.

Solar Installation Description


Priority in this solar installation is loading the solar storage
cylinder. When reaching the max. storage cylinder tempe-
rature, or during low solar radiation, the swimming pool
water is heated. For this the solar controller regulates an
electronic 3 way valve (V1) in the solar circuit. The heat
transfer to the swimming pool is realised via a highly efci-
ent stainless steel plate heat exchanger properly dimensi-
oned to match the collector area and pool size.
Heat transfer to the solar cylinder is via an internal plain
pipe heat exchanger. For installations with larger collector
areas an external plate heat exchanger may be required
instead.

Solar Electricity

A typical answer to the question what can you do with Photovoltaic Systems
is: Everything. The last two decades have seen a dramatic success story of
Photovoltaic applications on any scale, ranging from small handheld appliances
to large-scale grid connected power plants. Many governments support grid
connected solar electricity installations with generous feed in tariffs, turning grid
connected PV projects into safe and veritable investments. Off grid systems on
the other hand have seen tremendous growth rates as well, mainly due to their
versatility and exibility. Power supply of any sort at remote locations often makes

Description
Off grid (stand-alone) systems are independently oper-
ated power supply systems without any connection to the
public grid. They are mainly used for the seasonal supply
of electricity to small loads.
The basic stand-alone system comprises an energy source 2
(solar module), an energy store (battery), a charge control-
ler, a distributor (optional) and the loads. The layout is de-
picted in gure2.

FREE Line Systems


The FREE line systems from Wagner & Co serve as basic
solar power units used in the design of individual solu-
tions. It is important that all components complement one
another. The system conguration must therefore be de-
signed to meet the respective site requirements and other
specications. FREE line systems are designed for a DC
system voltage of 12 V.

Maintenance
Stand-alone systems require very little maintenance. An
annual visual inspection is recommended to check all
components and module cables for signs of damage. Also
check the xings for the solar modules. Check whether the

have become loose.
The gel batteries in the stand-alone sets are maintenance-
free (observe the instructions given in the chapter Bat-

EN Important Notes
The dimensioning of the mounting system (roof utili-
zation and loads per module) should be specically
carried out for each individual project, following the
specied structural engineering standards and regula-
tions.
Prerequisite for the proper application always is a solid
mounting base that can accommodate the occurring
forces (weight, wind and snow loads). Water run-off
and run-off directions must be considered.
The roong must be suitable for placing protective un-
derlays. The compatibility of protective underlays and
the roong material has to be assured before begin-
ning with the installation. Especially for soft-PVC roo-
ngs additional measures are required to avoid the
migration of plasticizers. Placing the underlays on PE
or EPDM roong usually is uncritical. In case of doubt
the sarking manufacturer can give advice..

ES Observaciones importantes
Hay que realizar el dimensionado del sistema de mon-
taje (carga y supercie utilizada de tejado por mdulo
segn el proyecto y conforme a la normativa vigente.
Para una aplicacin correcta es necesario una base s-
lida de jacin que pueda soportar las cargas de vien-
to, nieve y el propio peso de la estructura de montaje..
La cubierta tiene que ser apta para la colocacin de
esteras de proteccin. (con EPDM se requiere una
membrana de separacion, con PVC se usan bandas de
SGMA soldadas, las bandas de betn se pueden apli-
car directamente).

IT Informazioni importanti
Il dimensionamento del sistema di montaggio (carico
di zavorra per modulo e disposizione sul tetto) deve
essere eseguito considerando le norme rispettive.
Deve essere garantita unadeguata sottostruttura per il
montaggio cio di una sottostuttura ingrado di soste-
nere le forze (peso proprio, carico di vento e di neve)
che si verranno a creare. Accertarsi del corretto deus-
so dellacqua piovana e della sua direzione.
Assicurarsi che la supercie del tetto sia idonea alla
posa di strisce di guaina per copertura. Accertarsi pri-
ma dellinstallazione della compatibilit tra le strisce di
guaina e la copertura del tetto. Coperture con teli in
PVC richiedono in particolare appositi accorgimenti,
atti a prevenire la cosiddetta migrazione del plasti-
cante. Lapplicazione su teli in PE o EPDM non compor-
ta generalmente criticit. Rivolgersi in questo caso al
produttore della guaina di copertura.
