  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 2 1. COLLECTOR LOCATION Proper location and orientation of the solar collectors is important for maximum system efficiency. The collectors should be unshaded for the middle six hours of the day in each month of the year and should be located as close to the storage tank as possible to minimize heat loss in the piping runs. The best orientation is achieved when the collectors are facing due south and tilted at an angle from the horizontal of latitude + 10 0 . Figure 1 below sh

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 4 MOUNTING HARDWARE Provided in the Eagle Sun package is specially designed mounting hardware to speed collector installation. This hardware consists of four LOCK- TIGHT hinge sets, four roof brackets, two rear struts, and bolts (Figures 3, 4,and 5). (a) After locating the mounting points from Table 1, the mounting bracket holes should be drilled. (b) A heavy coating of sealant should be applied to the bottom of the flashing plate, which should fit flat against the roof. It is necessary for the plate to slide under the above shingles to insure p

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 5 Figure 6. Spanner Mounting In lag bolt mounting you must locate the center of the rafters along the top and bottom chalk lines. One method is to have one man on the roof and another in the attic. Using a hammer the man on the roof can tap the roof and determine where it is denser sounding. The roof man can drill a pilot hole while the attic man helps with distance corrections. Then the attic man can call of the distance to the next rafter while the roof man drills corresponding pilot holes. Flashing the brackets is done as previously described. Secure the brackets to the roof using

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 6 J-bolt mounting is done very similar to lag screw mounting except instead of drilling into the center of a rafter, a hole must be drilled directly beside a rafter. The size of the hole must be slightly larger than the bolt diameter. This is more easily accomplished if the attic man would drill a pilot hole through the roof along side the chosen rafter. Fit the bolt through the mounting brackets and insert the bolt (J side first) through the hole in the roof. Work the J underneath the rafter.

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 8 6. ARRAY MOUNTING ON TILE ROOFS Tile roofs are a little more difficult to mount solar collectors on but following this procedure will render a leak free installation. The solar panels are mounted on two rails located at the top and bottom of the solar collectors. The collectors are secured to the rails using the AE rack mount hardware (AE-RM). The 1 5/8” Aluminum unistrut rails are anchored to the roof by usuing six or ten inch stainless stell 3/8” hanger bolts. These bolts are lag screw on the bottom and 3/8 NPT thread on the top. A ten foot length of unistrut should be anchored at three points, the middle and

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 9 7. COLLECTOR PIPING The piping of the system should be considered before a final decision is made on how the collectors are mounted. Piping should be made of copper tube of the type meeting local codes, insulated with Armaflex or similar, and painted or wrapped with aluminum tape where exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Care should be taken in the spacing of collectors as attachment of piping is easiest with properly aligned collectors. The collectors and piping to the storage tank should be slightly sloped downward (3” in 8 feet

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 10 9. SENSOR MOUNTING AT COLLECTOR The controller heat sensor is mounted to the nipple outlet of the collector (Figures 14). A stainless steel screw clamp should be used. The entire nipple should be wrapped thoroughly with insulating tape so that the sensor is isolated from the outside air. Figure 14 10. PIPING THROUGH THE ROOF Piping through the roof should be weatherproofed as shown in Figure 15. (a) One inch holes are drilled through the roof on the same plane as the supply and return header nipples. Do not drill the hole above the sup

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 11 12. SENSOR MOUNTING AT STORAGE TANK On the American Appliance open loop tanks the heat sensor is located behind the bottom front cover Procedure: 1.) Remove the two screws that secure the bottom cover to the tank. 2.) Remove the fiberglass insulation until the shell of the tank is visible. 3.) Locate the ¼” threaded stud and nut and the two sensor wires that were factory run from the top of the tank. 4.) Remove the ¼” nut from the stud and place the 10 K snsors on the stud. Secure it with the nut. 5.)

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 12 A recirculation feature of the controller provides freeze protection. When the frost sensors at the collector indicate freezing temperatures, the pump is switched on and warm water is circulated through the collectors until warmed. The pump is then automatically switched off. This cycle repeats periodically until freezing conditions no longer exist. When a hard freeze is imminent or a power failure occurs, the system should be drained by closing the two gate valves that isolate the collector loop and opening the two valves that allow the collectors to drain. Automatic air vents in the top of

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 13 15. OPEN LOOP START-UP After visual inspection of the complete system, it is ready for filling and pressure testing. All drain valves should be closed, all other valves opened. The air vent caps should be loosened two turns to allow air to escape the system. The cold water inlet valve should hen be opened slowly and system checked for leaks as it fills. When the system is completely full, indicated by water escaping from the air vent when the valve is depressed it should be pressure checked with normal pressure for 30 minutes. Final inspection shoul

  • Alternate Energy Technologies OPEN LOOP, Open Loop 14 17. DIRECT PV SYSTEM The single photovoltaic module, attached to the top of the solar collector (Figure 18) operates a brushless 12 VAC or 24 VAC pump at a speed relative to the amount of available sun. When clouds pass over, the pumping operation slows to allow the water to remain in the collector longer for continued heating. When the sun goes down in the evening the pumping action will stop. The solar system is installed as per the open loop installation manual. The photovoltaic module will replace the differential control and sensors. Be sure to mount the panels on the same plane as the solar col

  • Open Loop 15 18. OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST Before the system is turned on, the piping and electrical systems should be evaluated to see if they match the supplied drawings. If you are satisfied that the system is installed correctly, it should be filled and powered according to the preceding instructions. When the system is in the operational mode, care should be taken to c
