East-West Installations

When panels can not be mounted in the optimal facing position, sometimes the installer will opt to install 1 panel facing east, and one panel facing west. Each set of panels will have its own pump station to provide circulation. Then a suitable controller capable of controlling the 2 independent pumps will need to be added.

The SOLAREvent controller has the East West configuration as just one of its many options. Use with 2 pump stations (either 1 Twin Line and 1 Single Line, or with 2 Single Line) and tee the lines together to for one flow and one return to the cylinder.

Solar Products

SOLAREvent Controller

Solarlogic Controller

Description: A truly all round solar controller designed for UK requirements. A unique Intaeco product, newly released in July 2009, the controller has the ultimate versatility to configure through 13 different solar system installation configurations, from basic, to East West type systems. Now being acclaimed to be best value for money controller of its type on the market currently.

SOLAREvent Twin Line Pump Station

SOLAREvent Twin Line Pump Station

Description: The new twin line solar pump stations from Intaeco are now the benchmark for solar engineers to judge by. Quality has been the objective in design, and each component engineered for reliability and longevity. 3 versions available with Grundfoss 15.80 low energy pump. The standard flow meter option is 3 - 10 litres/min.

SOLAREvent Single Line Pump Station

SOLAREvent Single Line Pump Station

Description: The new single line solar pump stations from Intaeco are now the benchmark for solar engineers to judge by. Quality has been the objective in design, and each component engineered for reliability and longevity. 3 versions available with Grundfoss 15.80 low energy pump. The standard flow meter option is 3 - 10 ltrs/min.

Solar TD Switch

TD Switch

Description: The TD switch is a basic differential temperature controller. It operates by comparing the difference in temperatures between a black sensor (collector sensor) and a grey sensor (cylinder sensor) to control a solar circulation pump in a solar thermal system. It also has an anti-freezing function.

solar pump station

FloCal B Pump Station

Description: The Solar Pump station integrates all the necessary components for the efficient operation of a solar system. The components are all solar rated, and arranged within the insulated package ready to take flow and return connections.

solar controller

BS3 Solar Controller

Description: Solar Controllers are basically temperature differential thermostats, but to effect efficient harvesting of free solar energy have to perform many more tasks. In brief, sensors measure the temperature of the fluid in the solar collector, and compare against the temperature of the water in the HWS cylinder (store). Heat transfers from hot to cold, so as soon as the temperature of fluid becomes higher in the collector, the pump will bring that heat down to the cylinder and transfer it into the store. This is its most simplistic definition of operation.

Sensor Connection Boxes

Sensor Connection Boxes

Description: The C-CSCB and SE-SP10 sensor connection boxes with overvoltage protection device should be installed to protect the solar collector temperature sensors against induced overvoltages caused by lightning strikes or other external sources.

Intasol Combi Diverter

Intasol Combi Diverter

Description: The Intasol is a hot water diverter valve for use with combination boilers or instantaneous water heaters. This means that a solar system can now be linked with a combi boiler as back-up.

Solarincal

Solarincal

Description: Solarincal storage to boiler connection and diverter valve sets automatically control and optimize the thermal energy contained in semi-commercial solar water storage systems.

solar thermostatic mixing valve

Thermostatic Mixing Valve

Description: The Solar Thermostatic Mixing valve is designed to temper the water temperature to a safer level. Unlike the under basin, or bath/shower type valves we are familiar with on the market, the Solarmix is designed to function continuously at high temperatures, something a standard TMV2 valve could not cope with.

solar expansion vessel

Expansion Vessel

Description: As with any sealed system, the pumped circulation solar system has to have an expansion capability to cope with fluid expanding as the temperature increases. Also in the solar system, the expansion vessel diaphragm has to have the ability to work within higher temperatures than that expected of a standard heating vessel. Intaeco Solar Plus vessels and eres solar vessels have been designed to function in high temperature solar installations. System fluid capacity dictates what size vessel is used, though most domestic applications require a capacity of between 18 Ltrs and 24 Ltrs.

Expansion Vessel Connection Kits

Expansion Vessel Connection Kits

Description: Install in conjunction with the Intaeco expansion vessels. Kit includes a wall fixing bracket, a self closing system isolation valve (so that the vessel could be removed for maintenance without draining the fluid from the system) or if required a manual LS isolation valve with drain off valve.

Motorised Valve

Motorised Valve

Description: The SF 2 port motorized zone valves and SF 3 port motorized diverting valves are powered by an electric actuator and have two operating positions depending on whether the motor is activated (energized) or not. The valves can be supplied with one or two auxiliary switches on request. These are activated when the valve switches and are usually linked to a pump to hold the pump off until the valve is open.

Solar Valves & Components

Solar Valves & Components

Description: Always use solar rated components suitable for use with high temperatures, and for use with glycol mix fluids.

Flexible Pipe System

Flexible Pipe System

Description: Making the connection between the solar collector on the roof, and the system below creates different set of problems for the installer. Yes, it can be achieved by simply using copper tube, but the high temperatures achieved (therefore traditional soft solder joints should not be used) difficult sets and bends required, and installation time are all factors.

solar flashing kit

Solar Flashing Kit

Description: Connecting the solar panel array to the system means that the roof must be penetrated to allow access for pipe work and sensor cables.

Solar Fill

Solar Fill

Description: Pump and reservoir tank for filling and pressurising Solar Systems. The unit is used as a flushing unit to not only fill, but also purge air; The unit should be run on circulation for at least an hour to ensure all air is purged from the system.

Ball Valve
