Varisol Installation Manual
Solar hot water systems should be designed and sized correctly before commencing the
installation. Proper design will ensure that a system is correctly sized to provide many years
of optimised performance and most or all of the required hot water when the most solar
radiation is available. However a supplementary heating system such as oil or gas boiler,
heat pump or wood boiler is required for months which have less solar radiation.
For large systems, Kingspan provide a system design service to its Accredited Installer
Network and technical design consultants. Please visit www.kingspansolar.com to locate an
Accredited Installer or distributor in your area.
This guide will illustrate and explain how a system should be installed to conform with the
Kingspan Renewables manufacturer guidelines for the Varisol Collector.
Using this guide
Stages of a solar installation are described in the following pages, with illustrations
where necessary to explain how to install the relevant components, and contains general
recommendations and important safety information.

Installation Guidance
•Unpackandinstalltubesonlyaftertheroof-kitandpipeworkhasbeeninstalled.
•Do not leave the solar collector exposed to solar radiation when the solar loop and
collector have been drained. Collectors left exposed in a dry state must be covered to
prevent possible long term damage.
•Thedarkbluesideofthecopperwithinthetubeistheactivesurface.
•Aheatdissipationloop(heatdump)isrecommended
•Thepipework of the solar collector loop is to be earthed and the collector is to be lightning
protected in accordance to local regulations.

Health and Safety Precautions
A solar panel installation must be performed in accordance with all Health & Safety legislation
andlocalbuilding/planningregulationsfortherelevantjurisdiction.
Furthermore, the necessary electrical work required to install control equipment should be
undertaken by a qualified electrical contractor.

Sizing of safety equipment
Expansion vessel sizes are relative to the volume of liquid in the system. Therefore it is
important that the Thermomax ‘Technical Design Guide’ is consulted for each system.
Pipe Sizing(minimumof15mmdiameterpipeworkmustbeused)
Cooling Vessel Sizing
It is strongly recommended that a cooling vessel is used with the collector to protect the
expansion vessel from stagnation temperatures.

When selecting a vessel for intermediate sizes, the vessel should be selected by rounding area up to nearest m².
All sizes above are calculated based on a 17ltr system volume as an example. For larger volumes the expansion
vessel size should be recalculated. Cooling vessel sizes are dependant on pipe dimensions and can be calculated
on a case by case basis or selected using the table above as a guideline.
* figures marked as such are estimates based on other measurements
Standard Roof Fixings
The Varisol product range is available with a choice of roof fixing options to suit many roof
types, see diagram below for the most common fixings. Roof fixings are available for slate,
tiled, double lap plain clay, metal seam and concrete. For others please contact Kingspan.
The most common fixings are illustrated and explained in the following section and may be
easily secured to slate, tile or masonry finishes.
Roof kits and their relevant manufacturer codes:
Horizontal Installations
With any installation where the collector is installed horizontally on a wall façade or roof
surface; the airvent on the collector manifold must be the highest point of the collector,
otherwise air in the system will remain in the pipes within the collector tubes and be difficult
to flush out. Airlocks in the pipes will stop circulation through the system.
When the collector is orientated correctly, i.e. with the manifold slightly higher than the base
ofthecollector,(seebelow)airwillbeforcedbackintothesystem.Inthisinstancetheair
separator will prevent air from circulating.

The modular design of the Varisol collector means that any number of tubes can be
assembled to make up the required collector size. Since the mounting kit cross rails are
only supplied in 10, 20 and 30 tube sizes it is necessary to cut the rails to length should an
intermediate sized collector be required. The table below gives the required length of rail
for each given size. Burrs and sharp edges should be removed.
