Operation Principles - Pleion EGO Smart.Solar.Box 110 Mode D'emploi

The solar collector with integrated storage is a solar
heating system in which the accumulation tank also acts as
an absorber (direct exchange).
The accumulation system is struck directly by the sun's rays,
which pass through the transparent cover and transfer
their thermal energy directly to the domestic water, which
is contained in special steel cylinders.
The accumulator (the volume of which varies according to
the selected size) is quickly heated by the sun. The water
supply is positioned in the lower part of the system; it heats
up as it passes from the lower cylinders to the upper ones

Water circulation is guaranteed by the network pressure (waterworks, well,...). When the tap downstream of the system is opened, the hot water
exits from the upper section and the same amount of cold water enters the lower section of the system.

and finally exits from the highest cylinder and goes into the
system (directly to the user, for preheating a boiler - see the
STARTING chapter).
The special conformation of the tanks means that the
COLD HOT
incoming water does not mix with the
water, in this way reducing the mixing effects typical of
natural and conventional circulation systems.
In order to optimise the performance of the product, it is
advisable to favour the use of hot water in the afternoon
and evening.

Installation
General indications and moving
y Assembly, maintenance and cleaning must only be carried out by
companies and specialist staff.
output
y The components indicated in this handbook must be used when
assembling. The use of other material is under the responsibility of
the installer, who assumes full responsibility, including the product
guarantee.
y The manufacturer is not liable for any work not carried out in a state-
of-the-art manner, as defined in Decree 37/2008, and for any damage
caused to the structure or the tools used.
y Before installing and using the system, it is advisable to check
local regulations and laws to make sure that what is described in
this document complies with them. Should they be different, do not
install the system and contact the manufacturer.
y The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to things
and injury to people as a result of installation carried out without
respecting local regulations and laws.
The system can only be moved when empty
and extremely carefully. Do not use or apply
force to the plastic threaded connections in
order to lift the product.
Avoid knocks and pressure on the system, in particular on
y
the cover, base and the plastic connections that project from
the frame.
Do not place any load on the system.
y
When moving, always use people who are competent,
y
trained and equipped according to what is imposed by
laws in force. Always use means of transport, lifting devices,
chains and any other things that are of a suitable capacity
and size.

Structural check
The solar collector with integrated storage can be placed
on the ground or on a structure (attic, covering, balcony,
etc...) that can support the device weight and dynamic
actions caused by variable things (e.g. wind, snow,...),
considered with the presence of "EGO or EGO PRIME"
solar collector with integrated storage.
In the case of already-existing
buildings
combinations of the static capacity
of the structural elements and
anchors used must be carefully evaluated,
according to what is indicated in the technical
standards for construction (NTC 2018, in Italy), or
the Eurocodes (EN 1991, in Europe). This check
must be carried out by a structural technician who
is authorised to work in the installation area.
Be very careful of the load increase caused by snow
or strong wind. The manufacturer is not responsible
for damage to things or injury to people caused by
bad installation on structures that cannot support the
indicated loads.
Safety precautions while assembling
DANGER CAUSED BY WIND
Install when the weather conditions are good,
avoid rainy days and strong winds.
DANGER CAUSED BY THINGS
FALLING FROM A HEIGHT
Solar systems often need to be installed at a
height.
Operators must follow regulations and laws in
force regarding safety.
DANGER CAUSED BY HANGING
LOADS AND MATERIAL FALLING
FROM A HEIGHT
If material needs to be lifted using a
crane or machinery, apply all the pertinent

recommendations and regulations in order to carry
out these operations safely. Use suitable means of
the correct capacity. Mark off the area where the
lifting is being carried out, to prevent risks caused
A
by objects falling from a height.
