SOLAR DOUBLE PIPE, stainless steel piping for the solar circuit
Or solar circuit piping (from the solar collectors, through the pumps and expansion vessel, all the way to the solar boiler - heat exchanger). To route this solar piping, an unused chimney is often used, or the solar piping is installed on the outside of the building. In new builds the solar distribution is typically "chased into the masonry", so it is best to install it before plastering.
When the solar system is shut down in summer, the solar piping can heat up to as much as 180°C, which is why stainless steel is the most suitable material. The wall thickness of the solar distribution pipes is determined by the number of solar collectors; for a typical number of collectors (up to five) a DN16 stainless steel pipe is sufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is stainless steel used for solar piping? It withstands high temperatures - collectors can heat up to 180 °C when the system is shut down in summer - and is resistant to corrosion.
- What corrugated tube diameter should I choose? For a typical set of up to five collectors, DN16 is usually sufficient; for a larger number of collectors, a larger diameter is chosen.
- Does the double pipe also include a cable for the sensor? Yes, the pre-insulated "2 in 1" double pipe also includes space for the collector temperature sensor cable.
