Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements

The installation of the Worcester solar system must be carried out in accordance with the relevant requirements for safety, current Wiring Regulations, local Building Regulations, Building Standards (Scotland), (Consolidation) Regulations and Bylaws of the local water company and Health and Safety document No. 63S (Electricity at Work Regulations 1989). It should be in accordance with the relevant recommendations of the following British Standards and Regulations.
  • BS 5918:1989
  • The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
  • The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  • The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996
  • The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994
  • The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
The manufacturer's notes must not be taken in any way as overriding statutory regulations.

Electricity supply

A 3 amp fused three pin plug and unswitched shuttered socket outlet (both complying with BS 1363) or preferably a double pole isolator with a contact separation of 3mm in all poles supplying the controller should be used. The controller must be earthed.

Glycol heat transfer liquid

Worcester Greenskies FKC-1S Solar Panels and system components should be used only with the recommended heat transfer liquid -- Tyfocor©L manufactured by Tyforop Chemie GmbH, available at stockists of Worcester Greenskies FKC-1S Solar Panels.

The heat transfer liquid uses a proven concentration of anti-freeze and water to give protection against freezing and provide optimum performance from the panels and system.

Hot water blending valve

It is recommended a thermostatic blending valve be used in conjunction with the solar cylinder in order to guard against the high hot water temperatures which the system can provide.

Insulation

Exposed pipework should be insulated according to the high temperatures that the panels are able to generate. Insulation rated to 150ºC must be used.

Pressure relief valve

The AGS2 Solar pump station in the Worcester Greenskies FKC-1S solar package is equipped with a 3 bar pressure relief valve which should be connected to pipe work terminating in a suitable container. An empty canister of heat transfer fluid can be used for this purpose.
