Solar Thermal Hot Water System

Dimplex solar hot water packages combine all the key components into easy-to-install kits for a typical three and four bedroom home. As hot water needs change during the homeowners lifetime, our sys-tems are designed to react to fluctuations ensuring needs are always met.

Have confidence knowing that every component has been carefully built for quality, suitability and reliability.

Super Value: Designed to be the highest performance-to-cost system. Engineered Glycol Protection: Dimplex collectors limit the collector stagnation temperature to under 315°F/155°C protecting the glycol from overheating which can degrade heat transfer fluid and cause it to become acidic and cor-rosive.

Highly Efficient: Blue titanium absorber surface coating sets the standard for premium collectors. Single Wall and Double Wall Systems available, depending on your local plumbing code requirements.

Why choose a Dimplex System?

Collector Placement:

Tips for a Professional Installation

Before installing the solar thermal system visit our web site at www.renewables.dimplex.com for a complete installation guide.

The proposed location must have access to southern sky with a minimum amount of shading between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM each day throughout the year.

Aesthetic impact on the property should be considered.

Consider the remaining life span of the roof shingles prior to installation.

Collectors mounted closer to the peak are easier to install by providing increased attic access.

Collectors should be located as close to the solar storage tank as possible to minimize heat loss in pipe runs.

Ensure you have allocated enough space for the solar storage tank installation (near the customer’s back-up hot water source). The tank measures 63 ¼” high x 21 ¾” diameter.

Ensure the household’s main supply of potable water is supplied in accordance to the North American Plumbing Code and Standards.

Ensure sufficient wall space for pumping stations, expansion tanks and controller approximately 2’ x 4’ wall space for single-wall systems, 4’ x 4’ wall space for double-wall systems.

Close proximity to 120 volt supply.

How Does it Work?

The first step is to determine if the local plumbing codes require a Single Wall or Double Wall System.

(1) The sun heats the solar fluid in the collectors (2) This solar fluid, a mixture of polypropylene glycol and water, for freeze protection, is pumped (3) and circulated through the in-tank heat exchanger (4). The solar controller has a sensor in the collector and the solar storage tank that activate the circulation pump when there is sufficient solar energy to be delivered. During times when there is little or no sun, a back-up heating system utilizing the customer’s back-up tank (5) activates to provide adequate hot water.

The Double Wall System consists of the same key components as the single wall with the addition of Dimplex’s innovative modular HX-A pumping station with a second heat exchanger.

Limitations of this limited warranty and what Dimplex is not responsible for

THE WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND CONSTITUTES THE SOLE LIABIL-ITY OF DIMPLEX TO YOU FOR ALL PRODUCTS. DIMPLEX HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDI-TIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME JURIS-DICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE THEN LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD SET OUT ABOVE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DIMPLEX, OR ITS DI-RECTORS, OFFICERS, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, OR ON ANY OTHER BASIS, FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNI-TIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL LOSS, COST, OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, MAINTENANCE, USE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF DIMPLEX OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR AGENTS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS OR DAMAGES, OR IF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, OR DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT WILL DIMPLEX, OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT LOSSES, COSTS, OR DAMAGES THAT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT. AS SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CON-SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Miscellaneous
