[RE-wrenches] Apricus SHW Charging

2008-10-31 Thread Dana
Manual refers to a maximum pressure, not an operational pressure, ie:" < 72.5 psi" This is fine for both open and closed loop systems as most mains operate below this range, and the TNP on most solar pump stations is set higher than this value. Thanks - Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc

Hi Carl, We've installed Apricus systems for about 3 years. I expect that the 72.5 psi = 5 bars, is the recommended system TEST pressure, before charging. We hold pressure on all our systems at 75 - 80 psi, before charging at 25 to 35 psi. We used to take the test pressure higher, before using pum

I am reviewing the commissioning instructions for the Apricus solar DHW system. I note that the specified charging pressure for the glycol loop is 72.5 psi per the manual. This seems high compared to other systems I have experience with. Can anyone comment on 1) The science behind the high syste
