Intasol Combi Solar Diverter Valve

Intasol combi solar diverter
Description
The Intasol is a hot water diverter valve for use with combination boilers or instantaneous water heaters. This means that a
solar system can now be linked with a combi boiler as back-up.
Cross-flow contamination is eliminated by the clever deployment of solar check valves integrated within the valve.

Introduction
The Intasol manifold allows unvented hot water heated by solar thermal panels, to be used safely with a combination boiler.
The Intasol system automatically harnesses the thermal energy contained in a solar water storage system to provide water
at a controlled, optimum temperature.
Intasol is supplied complete with a TMV2 thermostatic mixing valve, thermostatic diverting valve, thermostatic blending
valve and integral non-return valve.
The system ensures that the user always receives hot water at the set temperature, and diverts cold water at 28°C to
activate the boiler when the temperature of the water coming from the solar storage cylinder falls below 48°C.
Its compact design means that all the valves are housed in the body of the Intasol, and it’s supplied complete with
connections suitable for copper pipe.

High temperature solar systems
The temperature of the domestic water in solar thermal systems can reach very high temperatures over long periods.
In Summer, expecially if there is little water usage, the hot water can reach a temperature of around 98°C before the
temperature and pressure safety relief valves are actuated.
At these temperatures, the hot water cannot be used directly because of the risk of scalding to the user.
Water temperatures over 50°C can cause burns very quickly. At 55°C, partial burns occur after 30 seconds immersion. At
60°C, they can occur in as little as 5 seconds.
Intasol incorporates a TMV2 thermostatic mixing valve which blends the hot and cold water to deliver blended water at a
safe temperature for users.
