Tanks cool down at night.
Collector circuit pump runs during the night?
Check the non-return valves in
the flow and the return pipe for
functional efficiency.
Collector temperature at night is higher than
the outdoor temperature.
Sufficient tank insulation?
Insulation closes enough to the tank?
Replace insulation or increase it
Are the tank connections insulated?
Insulate the connections.
Warm water outflow upwards?
Change connection and let the
water flow side wards or
through a siphon downwards);
less tank losses
now?it.one.
Circulation pump and blocking valve should
be switched off for 1 night; less tank losses?
Check whether the pumps of the
after-heating circuit run at night; check
whether the non-return valve is
effective; problem solved?
Does the DHW circulation run for a very long time?
Use the circulation pump with timer and
switch-off thermostat energy-efficient
circulation
The gravitation circulation in the
circulation line is too strong; insert
A stronger valve in the non-return
Valve or an electrical 2-port valve
behind
The circulation pump; the 2-port
Valve is open when the pump is
activated, otherwise it is closed; connect
pump and 2-port valve electrically in
parallel; activate the circulation again.
Deactivate pump speed control!
Further pumps which are connected to
the solar tank must also be checked.
Check the non-return valve in warm water
circulation - o.k.
