1. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work includes production, supply, installation & commissioning of the solar water heating system.

2. CUSTOMER SCOPE
Safe storage facility for keeping the solar materials.
The SW HS is designed for gravity feed application.
Flat RCC roof top required to install solar water heater system.
Shadow free area required to install solar water heater system.
Cold water supply from over head tank to solar tank input plumbing with valves.
Provide continuous and portable cold water supply to solar water heater system.
Portable water standard should be (Hardness is 150 ppm and Chlorides is 50 ppm).
Hot water outlet from solar tank to utility/distribution plumbing with valves and air vent.
Electrical power supply to backup heater coil.
Location related safety features.

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Solar water heating work on the principle of Thermosyphon. The cold water from the hydro pneumatic source to
fills the solar tank by pressure. Upon incidence of solar radiation on the flat plate collector, the water in the
collector tubes heats up. This rise in the temperature reduces the water density.. thus, the circulation of hot water
to solar storage tank and cold water from solar storage tank to flat plate collector. This process of heating and
circulation continues throughout the day. The heated water will be stored in the insulated solar tank and this water
is available for use in the next day. Circulating Pump is added to circulate hot water to storage tank.

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENT
The solar water heating system is designed to supply the hot water for bathing purpose. W e have designed the
solar water system as per the following specification. The solar collectors are mounting on the flat roof surface.
We provide the MS structure for mounting the collectors and solar hot water storage tank. Inter connecting
flexible hose pipe/GI B class pipes with fittings and valves in between solar tank and collectors. Electrical
heater coil is providing for additional backup.

5. ASSUMPTIONS FOR DESIGN

1. Solar radiation 800 W/ Sq.m

2. Efficiency of collector 70 %
3. Ambient temperature 25 deg. C
4. Sunshine hours per day 5 hr.
5. Output hot water temp 60 +/- 5 deg. C
6. Operating pressure Gravity pressure
