Hi,
I am after some advice on my central heating and hot water system.
What I would like is:
- One Solar panel if possible.
- System fully automated. (i.e. no need to switch on or off any part of the system).
- Make use of Solar panels for central heating.
- Point out where automated switches and expansion tanks are needed and controllers should be located.
The system is not yet functional and simple adjustments may be possible.
I will be purchasing two hot water cylinders one 50 Liters and one 200 Liters. I am thinking they should be twin coiled.
Both Cylinders can be connected to Solar panels and boiler.
Restrictions:
- The Boiler is located quiet some distance away and it is not possible to relocate.
- The only possible new piping ( if needed ) can be between the Solar panels and Boiler.
- It is possible to install hot water cylinder near the solar panel, this may help reduce cost, (use of standard as opposed to twin coiled cylinders).
Any tips and advice on how to achieve this, for example multizone controllers room thermostats... expansion tanks.. I did not add these to the layout because I am not certain of what is needed.
Please not I have plumber who will carry out the work, however I would to gain full understanding of the system to avoid possible errors or mistakes or rip-offs.
Here is the layout:
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Charbel
