Is there a direction of hydraulic connection to respect on an installation of Dualsun SPRING panels?
It is important to distinguish between our two generations of SPRING currently available:
For more details on the specifications of the models, you can refer to the dedicated article: |
SPRING4
Any configuration is technically possible with the SPRING4 panel. That being said in ordre to optimize the performances we recommend to use a Z shape : input in the bottom and output on the opposite top.
SPRING3
YES, and it is mandatory to respect it as it can have some non negligeable impact on the panel thermal performances.
To follow the natural direction of the fluid flow from the inter-panel connections to the heat exchanger manifolds, and thus limit the pressure losses in the manifold, it is essential to respect the direction of connection of the panel lines.
Viewed from the front, a line of panels in portrait should systematically have its cold fluid inlet on the bottom left and its hot fluid outlet on the top right. This ensures that the bottom of the panel is filled while maintaining the inertia of the fluid.
Viewed from the front, a line of landscape panels should systematically have its cold fluid inlet on the bottom right and its hot fluid outlet on the top left. This ensures that the bottom of the panel is filled while maintaining the inertia of the fluid.
In order not to make a mistake, you just have to make sure that the cap at the end of the hydraulic line are well under the panels and therefore not visible.
