7 Hydraulic Connections
There might be impurities and / or substances in water which are harmful to the system. Check whether the quality of
the water being used is acceptable for home use or not. EU directive 98/83 EC shall be referred.
Meanwhile, there is a number of ways for hydraulic connections between Thermopod and cylinder.
Before Installation
Water In & Out Position
Water in and water out shall be found at the bottom of the Thermopod, which are used to be connected to the water
pipes.
Water Pipes for Connection
22mm Copper pipe shall be used for all water connections. All water
pipes connection between Thermopod and cylinder shall be insulated.
Good insulation will directly affect the performance of the system.
Cylinder
The insulation of cylinder will directly affect the performance of the
system. The user has to make sure the functionality of the cylinder.
It is recommended that the cylinder shall have a standing heat loss,
level at 1.4kw per day or 3 m
2
of surface area of the inside coil for heat
exchange or according to the local standard.
For Thermopod system, it is recommended that a cylinder with
maximum capacity of 200 litres shall be used. If capacity beyond 200
litres will directly affect the heating time and performance.
Insulation for All Water Pipe
Note – Insulation
In between Thermopod unit and water cylinder, all water pipes must be covered by the insulation material to reduce
heat loss. This directly affects the performance of system.
