3.1.13 Rotational speed regulation

The solar circulation pump on 230V-outputs A1 and

A2 can be operated either in switch-mode (two-point

controller) or in a rotational speed regulated way.

If the rotational speed regulation is activated the pump

power is adjusted by a controller so that switch-on

temperature difference “Storage tank dTmax” is kept

constant as much as possible.At lower deviation of

“Storage tank dTmax” the pump is operated with the

lowest power till the switch-off wave is reached.

3.1.14 Thermostat (heating)

The thermostat is a control circuit that’s independent

from the storage loading.Thus an auxiliary heating in

the top area of the storage cylinder is made possible.

The output A3 will be:

• Switched on, when the temperature falls below the

adjusted start level.

• Switched off, when the temperature reaches the

adjusted start level + hysteresis.

3.1.15 Thermostat (cooling)

In order to optimise the energy yield, it could be useful

to “redirect” the solar energy, or to take it away from

the storage when the storage temperature reaches a

certain level.

When the sensor reaches the start temperature, output

A3 will be switched on.When the temperature level falls

below the start temperature hysteresis, the output A3

will be switched off.
