1. SYMBOLS

WARNING

The entire process the supplier believes may imply danger of personal injury

and/or material damage shall be marked with a DANGER SIGN.

As a means of further classifying the danger, the symbol will be accompanied by

one of the following words:

•

DANGER: when the operator and/or people in the vicinity of the

equipment are subject to personal injury.

• WARNING: when the equipment and/or nearby materials are subject to

material damage.

INFO

All the information the supplier believes may contribute to the enhanced

performance and conservation of the equipment shall be marked with the

information sign.

2. PRE- INSTALLATION

WARNING

•The electrical installation of the equipment should comply with national

regulations on electrical installations in force.

•Solar Box will only work after receiving the respective cooling load.

•The maximum admissible water pressure at the input to the hydraulic

circuit is 300 kPa.

•Electrical power: 230V, 50 Hz

•

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the

manufacturer, the post-sales service or similar qualified personnel in

order to avoid danger.

•Solar Box will only work if the tank has been filled with water.

•This appliance should not be used by persons (including children) with

physical, sensorial or mental disabilities, or with a lack of experience or

expertise, unless supervised by someone liable for their safety, or in the

event the same have been trained in relation to how the equipment

works.

3. SAFETY

The installer should notify the customer of how the equipment works, the inherent dangers, and

the rights and obligations of the customer.

•The installation of thermodynamic equipment geared to heating sanitary water should

be performed by personnel who are qualified and skilled in relation to the same;

•The appliance should not be installed in locations subject to the risk of impact or ex-

plosion;

•Keep the equipment in its packaging until the time of installation;

•Ensure all hydraulic connections are duly watertight prior to turning on the electrical

power;

•The gas used in the entire process is R134a, free of CFCs, noninflammable and harmless

to the ozone layer. Thus, the gas present when this equipment is used may not be re-

leased into the atmosphere by law.

•The gas present when this equipment is used should be handled by a qualified techni-

cian.

TECHNICAL MANUAL SOLAR BOX

•Maintenance of the equipment should be carried out by the support service, performing

the general and continuous cleaning operations, which may/should be executed by the

users themselves;

•The electrical power of the equipment should always be turned off during maintenance

operations;

•The supplier recommends the equipment be inspected at least once a year by a qualified

technician;

•The operating principles of this equipment are directly associated with high

temperatures and pressures, thus all the processes involved with the equipment should

be designed to avoid the risk of burns and explosion.

4. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The Solar Box Thermodynamic Solar System is a piece of equipment based on the principle of

cooling by compression – the Carnot principle – which we have named Thermodynamic Solar

Systems: Solar Panel and a Heat Pump. The solar panel, which is the main component, placed

outdoors, ensures the capture of energy from:

•Direct and diffuse solar radiation;

•Outdoor air, via natural convection;

•The effect of the wind (almost always existent);

•Rainwater.

The temperature difference caused by the aforementioned external agents ensures the

refrigerant fluid evaporates inside the solar panel.

The absence of glass in the panel ensures increased heat exchange via convection.

After passing through the panel, the refrigerant fluid is sucked in by the mechanical com- ponent

of the system, the compressor, raising the temperature and pressure of the same; which in turn

is transferred to the water circuit by means of the panel heat exchanger.

Before the refrigerant fluid returns to the solar panel the pressure needs to be reduced to

guarantee it attains its liquid state once again, there by completing the cycle.

The ease with which we combine technology and the laws of nature (alteration of the state of a

fluid), demonstrates the veracity and potential of Solar Box.

9. PLACING EQUIPMENT

9.1 Thermodynamic solar panel

The location and the angle at which the panels are installed must be taken into

account. In order to take full advantage of the solar radiation in question, the

panels should be set at an angle of between 10° - 85° to the ground, and

preferably pointing south.

The panel comes with six M8 holes on the side flaps. The distance between the

holes at the location where the panel is to be placed should coincide with the

holes in the panel.

TECHNICAL MANUAL SOLAR BOX

The panel has 3 small profiles (side A) and 3 large profiles (side B) which shall

be fixed according stipulations in the diagram, giving the panel the desired

level of inclination.

The profile shall be fixed to a base (e.g. a roof) via the provided plastic wall plugs and the self-

tapping M6 screws. The M6 screws and the respective nuts and washers shall make the panel

fixing to the profiles.

TECHNICAL MANUAL SOLAR BOX

The solar panel shall always be installed with the connections facing downwards.

The right or left panel shall always be installed horizontally, not vertically.

A – Panel input | B – Panel Output

WARNING

The panel should always be installed downwards, with the connections facing

down and shall be installed horizontally

9.2 Fixing Solar Box on horizontal surface

9.3 Refrigerant connections – Thermodynamic panel (1 panel)

WARNING

The refrigerant connections should be dealt with by a qualified technician holder

of a professional skills certificate for the purpose.

INFO

The thermodynamic unit holds a pre-load of R134a fluid.

WARNING

The refrigerant connections should be thermally insulated in order to avoid

burns and to ensure the maximum performance of the equipment.

•A lay the structure on a level and stable surface,

checking the four anti-vibratory brackets have

been duly mounted;

•Remove the half holes from the rear of the

structure by twisting the metal part you wish to

remove;

•Secure the connections on the rear of the structure.
