Solar Thermal Domestic Hot Water Course

The course will cover the predominant North European fluid filled, indirect solar water heating systems. The course does not cover all possible variants of this subject. The course covers the following main types of system and collector types; fully filled sealed system, drain-back system, flat plate collector, heat pipe and direct flow evacuated tube collectors.

 

Course Outline:
The course will cover the following areas:

• Regulations and Standards
• Solar heated storage types

Entry Requirements:
This course is designed for experienced heating or plumbing professionals. Candidates should hold G3 certificate in Unvented Hot Water Systems OR be taking the 1-day course the day prior to (or immediately following) this course. WRAS Water Regulations 1-day course is also recommended. Basic electrical experience desirable.

 

Noted exclusion from training & assessment:
This course is not intended to cover roof or access work in detail but does cover the legislative requirements, risk assessment requirements and working at height requirement. Where ever practical we would recommend the use of an experienced roofer to install the collectors (see www.nfrc.co.uk ) although collectors will require connection at roof level by a plumber, so those wishing to carry this work out should be comfortable and experienced working at height.
