1.2 Intended use
The stations described are to be operated for primary side operation of the solar substation with suitable or approved solar liquid. Ensure the
liquid has an adequate antifreeze content.
Media temperature > 60 °C (Risk of scalding)
Setpoint and filling pressure < pickup pressure of the safety fitting
The shut-off fittings may not be connected as otherwise the safety fittings lose their effect.
Caution:
Do not make any changes to electrical components, the design or the hydraulic components! Otherwise you will impair the safe function of
the system.
1.3 Initial start-up
Before starting the system for the first time, check for leaks, correct hydraulic connection and flush carefully. The initial start-up must be
carried out by a trained, qualified person and must be recorded in writing. In addition, the set values must also be recorded in writing. The
technical documentation must be kept with the equipment.
