3.2Brief description
The Daikin solar system is a thermal solar system for supplying
hot water for consumption and solar support.
The Daikin EKSRPS4 Control and pump unit for solar
systems can only be installed and operated as part of a
Daikin Solar System (DrainBack) using the provided
installation material.
The prerequisite for problem-free operation in the
DrainBack system, is that the connection lines are
routed with a constant gradient (at least 2 %), and that
the bottom edges on the solar panels with double-sided
connections are mounted with a constant gradient to
the return connection, or, with same side connection,
are mounted horizontally.
Mode of operation
The V21P, V26P and H26P high-performance solar panels efficiently convert the sun’s radiation into heat. Hereby, the heat
transport media is normal tap water.
As soon as the solar collectors have reached a useful temperature level, the water of the heating jacket in the storage cylinder
(which is not under pressure) is pumped directly through the
collectors. With insufficient collector temperature, the circulation
pump is switched off and the system is drained automatically.
This operating mode has several advantages:
– High operational reliability, as there are no components that
could be damaged or fail (such as expansion vessel, safety
valve, venting valves, etc.).
– Excellent heat transfer and heat storage capacity (system
works without antifreeze agents).
– Minimum maintenance requirements.
– Frost proof.
– Without separate solar heat exchanger.
– No stagnation problems.
Electronic control
The fully electronic Daikin Solar R4 control system ensures optimum utilisation of the solar heat (hot consumption water generation, heating support) as well as the observance of all safety-relevant aspects. All parameters needed for trouble-free operation
have been preset at factory.
3.3System components
3.3.1 Control and pump unit for solar systems
