Solar thermal systems convert incident solar irradiation into heat that is used to heat domestic hot water or for additional heating. The solar irradiation is converted into heat in the collector whose main component is a selectively-coated absorber. The heat is pumped via a closed piping system, the solar circuit, from the collector to the storage tank. The solar energy system not only provides hot water in the summer and in transitional periods, but can even provide some in winter. A frost-resistant mixture of water and glycol is used to prevent the heat-transfer fluid freezing in the solar circuit. The mature, highperformance technology from Steca guarantees that a large proportion of the hot water requirement can be provided for by using solar energy.

as temperature differential controllers The transport of heat from the collector to the storage tank is controlled according to the temperature difference. The controller starts the circulation pump of the solar circuit as soon as the temperature in the collector is several degrees warmer than the temperature at the bottom of the storage tank. This transports the solar fluid from the collector to the lower heat exchanger, where the heat is transferred to the drinking water in the storage tank via the solar circuit heat exchanger. The cooled solar fluid then flows back to the collector in the return pipe. The heated drinking water rises in the storage tank. The water is stratified in the storage tank according to its density or temperature: the hottest water is at the top (where it is tapped), the coldest water is at the bottom (where cold water is fed in).

Solar collector Solar pump station Storage tank Boiler Water withdrawal
With the current standard system size for one to two family houses (approx. 1.0 to 1.5 m collector surface per person and approx. 80-100 l storage tank volume), in summer, the drinking water is primarily heated by the solar energy system. This results in an annual solar coverage (percentage of the total energy requirement for heating drinking water provided by solar energy) of approx. 60%. The remaining 40% must be covered by back-up heating. This is generally provided by a boiler and by the upper heat exchanger for back-up heating, which is located in the storage tank. You can select a tailor-made controller from the Steca solar thermal controller product family based entirely on the requirements of your solar energy system. A range of monitoring and control functions guarantee that your solar system runs safely and maximise its service life.

Before saving energy became relevant in everyday life, people regulated the temperature in their homes simply by opening and closing the manual valves on the radiators: this required a constant high temperature (70C to 90C) of the water in the boiler. This is anything but resource-saving heating technology! The use of so-called mixers represents significant progress in this area: they direct cooled return water to the hot boiler or buffer storage tank water, to ensure that the supply temperature (temperature of the heating water flowing to the radiators and underfloor heating system) complies with the actual heat requirement. The heating circuit controller controls this process depending on the room or external temperature. The automatic heating circuit controller is the most energy-efficient type of heating circuit control: a constant comparison of the external or guide room temperature with the selected room temperature keeps the losses in the piping system as low as possible via constant adjustment of the supply temperature.

Heating drinking water energy-efficiently and hygienically is the responsibility of demanddependent fresh water technology. It considerably reduces the risk of contamination and legionella multiplication. If fresh water is withdrawn, the domestic hot water controller detects the removal and has the discharge pump withdraw hot water from the buffer storage tank via the plate heat exchanger. The plate heat exchanger heats the water using the continuous flow heater principle. The domestic hot water controller controls the pump speed of the discharge pump so that the hot water temperature is kept constant at the value set even if the withdrawal quantity changes. This intelligent control system guarantees low return temperatures to the buffer storage tank and unrestricted hot water comfort. Fresh water technology is the ideal addition to all heating systems which use buffer storage tanks: e.g. solar thermal systems, wood-fired boilers, heat pumps and water heating stoves.

Increasing energy prices drive the operating costs for room heating and drinking water heating ever upwards. Greater use of renewable energy sources is the only way to become gradually more independent of this trend. Using less fossil fuels has a desirable side effect: a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. So-called system controllers are designed to maximise the heat yield of these complex systems they are specialised in optimising the interaction of various heat sources, hydraulic versions and loads. The Steca system controllers fulfill these demands: their intelligent control concept guides the heat management of the entire system and guarantees convenient, demand-oriented and reliable provision of heat primarily from renewable energy sources, always focusing on maximum system efficiency. This is proven by the recorded measurement data which documents yields and consumption; remote data transmission, visualisation and analysis software replace cost-intensive on-site maintenance of the system.

Steca TR A501 T U
5 inputs, 1 output The Steca TR A501 T U controller was especially developed as a compact, efficient and universally applicable solar controller and is the ideal solution for all single-circuit systems. The particularly compact designer casing can be superbly integrated into solar pump stations, but can of course also be installed on walls or top-hat rails. A specially constructed switched-mode power supply ensures maximum efficiency and economic operation. This reduces own consumption to a minimum and the variable input voltage allows universal use of the device anywhere in the world. The innovative electronic load control technology protects the controller against overloading and installation errors. The Steca TR A501 T U has a triac output for speed control that can also be used as a 0-10 V output (PWM output on request) for controlling a high-efficiency pump. The equipment is rounded off by five inputs for recording temperature and pulses. Together with an external pulse encoder, the integrated calorimetry system allows the acquisition of numerical information on the solar yields of the system. The clear, graphically animated display provides visualisation of the system and the current operating status. The consistent use of pictograms guarantees easy operation of the controller. The Steca TR A501 T U controller is especially suitable for monitoring and controlling solar thermal systems with a single collector array or simple solar-heated swimming pools. Alternatively, numerous pre-programmed configurations are provided for individual use in other applications, such as back-up heating, solid fuel boilers, thermostats, differencial thermostats / storage tank reloading, return increases and circulation systems. Product features Compact, multipart designer casing Installation versions: Solar pump stations, wall installation, mounting rails Wave packet (Triac) and 1-10 V control signal (PWM control signal on request) ensure electronic RPM control High level of operational safety through fault diagnosis Hours-of-operation logger Daily pump start Screw terminals allow universal and rapid installation Low power consumption thanks to universal and widerange switched-mode power supply Variable input voltage range for worldwide controller deployment Electronic overloading control and protection

Steca TR 0704
7 inputs, 4 outputs The Steca TR 0704 system controller is a universal controller for solar energy and heating systems. In addition to a selection of preprogrammed basic systems, freely programmable individual system configurations can also be realised. The standard Steca TR 0704 has three calorimeters and one hours-of-operation logger for each of the four controller outputs. A special feature is the ability to not only display the current values of temperature, irradiation and energy volumes, but also to display the accumulated values over several days in the form of a graphical curve via a graphical LCD display. The modular construction of the Steca TR 0704 system controller allows the control system to be expanded with up to four extra Steca TA 0403 I/O modules. Every extra I/O module has its own microprocessor with four temperature recording inputs and three switching outputs, some of which can be speed controlled. This means that the controller can be expanded at any time to a maximum of 23 inputs and 16 outputs. The basic version of the Steca TR 0704 system controller has seven inputs for recording temperature, irradiation or flow rate and four outputs for controlling circulation pumps or switching valves. Communication with external peripherals is provided by an IS bus, an alarm output and an RS232 interface.

Domestic hot water controller The Steca TF A603 MC is a stand-alone domestic hot water controller for heating drinking water directly and hygienically using the continuous flow heater principle. With an all new control algorithm, the Steca TF A603 MC controller is well equipped to channel energy from a buffer storage tank to the drinking water circuit with particular speed and efficiency. Owing to its auto-adaptive control algorithm, the controller is capable of adjusting to the specific conditions of each system as soon as the equipment is initially set up, ensuring a constant hot drinking water temperature to address hygienic considerations. A primary objective in this regard is to keep the return temperature to the buffer storage tank as low as possible in order to additionally increase the efficiency and yield of the solar system. This is supported by a zone feed function using water from the buffer storage tank via a 3-way switching valve. The Steca TF A603 MC can also control a circulation pump. In doing so, time-based, temperature-based, or pulse-based control is possible. A particular highlight of the Steca TF A603 MC controller is the fact that the unit saves the systems operating data to a SD card. Animated control circuits are displayed on the units large graphic display to visualise the respective systems operating statuses. The Steca TF A603 MC includes six inputs for recording temperatures or pulse values as well as an additional Grundfos Direct SensorsTM input for combined temperature and flow rate measurement.

Steca TF A603 MCK (Master) and Steca TF A603 KS (Slave)

Domestic hot water controllers (cascaded) The Steca TF A603 MCK and Steca TF A603 KS are fresh water controllers for direct hygienic heating of drinking water using the continuous-flow water heating principle. The Steca TF A603 MCK (master) can be connected to a maximum of three Steca TF A603 KS (slaves) to form a four-stage fresh water cascade. Cascading fresh water stations is a good way of using existing standardised, low-cost fresh water stations designed for single and two-family homes to provide the larger draw-off capacities needed for apartment complexes and multi-story residential buildings. This allows small draw-off volumes to be implemented for large buildings at very good heat transfer ratios because not all of the stations need to be operated at the same time. The reliability of the hot water supply is increased by this because the cascading makes several stations available at the same time. A new control algorithm in the Steca TF A603 MCK and Steca TF A603 KS controllers allows the energy in the buffer tank to be transferred to the drinking water circuit in an especially fast and efficient manner. Immediately after initial commissioning the self-learning algorithm in the controllers adapts to the special aspects of each respective system to provide a constant drinking water temperature under hygienic conditions.

IFA router for online visualisation The Steca Internet remote display allows permanent monitoring and performance analysis of one or more solar energy systems. The Steca TK RW2 IFA router allows visualisation of the operation of solar thermal systems: Temperature and performance data are clearly displayed for analysis in an Internet browser window. This works in a simple way: The Steca TR 0603mc or Steca TR A503 TTR solar thermal controllers cyclically send measurements to the IFA router. The Steca TK RW2 processes the data and forwards it to a central server via cable modem. The server archives this information and presents it visually in the Internet - as system images, graphics, tables, diagrams and even as a slide slow. These visualisations can also be sent from the IFA router to a smartphone or laptop via WLAN or via mediabox to a monitor* or a projector*. Not only the momentary values for each solar energy system are visualised but also the changes in temperature over time using easy to understand diagrams. If a heat meter is also used then, in addition to momentary values, the system is even capable of displaying energy balances and CO2 savings. By logging in with their personal user name and password the operator can use the Internet to monitor their system information from any location in the world. This allows simultaneous management and monitoring for correct operation of multiple systems. The raw data archived on the server can be downloaded for detailed analysis with Steca TS Analyzer 2. Historical information is permanently available for comparative monitoring of system functions. This allows malfunctions and the origins of faults to be quickly recognised, analysed and corrected, which greatly improves the operational reliability of the system.

PROFESSIONAL SYSTEM ANALYSIS

with the Steca TS Analyzer 2 software The solar controllers Steca TR A503 TTR and Steca TR 0603mc are able to log all operating data of the solar system directly to a SD card. The analysis software Steca TS Analyzer 2 is visualizing all that data: temperatures, operating times of pumps, heat flow volume und flow to get comparisons all measurements are visualized in plots even in longer timeframes. In master-slave mode the data of every node can be analysed seperatly and compared to others. The monitoring is completing the documentation: The state of the solar system, errors and alarms will be displayed. The software is also featuring an export to spreadsheet processing. Because of this digital data acquisition and the convenient views in the software the user is always in focus of the performance of the solar system. The free monitoring software is also very easy to use and configure individually. Steca TR A503 TTR and Steca TR 0603mc paired with the free Software Steca TS Analyzer 2 will continue the success of the globally sold solar controller series of Steca.
External temperature sensor for the heating controller Steca TH A603 M / MS The Steca TA AF1 is a temperature sensor for recording the external temperature in weather-guided heating circuits. The recorded external temperature is transferred to the heating controllers Steca TH A603 M or Steca TH A603 MS, which then set the corresponding supply temperature. In room guided heating circuits, Steca TA AF1 can be used optionally to display the external temperature. A robust, impact-resistant casing protects the external temperature sensor against the effects of the weather. Product features Suitable for outdoor installation High accuracy Weatherproof, UV-resistant design Screw terminals allow universal and rapid installation IP 65 jet waterproof casing

Steca TA VM1 and Steca TA VM2
Flow meter The Steca TA VM1 and Steca TA VM2 flow meters allow flow rate measurement of the water/water-glycol heat transfer fluid. A contact maker (e.g. reed relay) is used to send a pulse to the solar thermal controller every time a defined quantity of fluid has passed through the system (e.g. 1 litre = 1 impulse or 10 litres = 1 impulse). At the same time, the controller determines the temperature difference between the supply and return temperatures and then calculates the heat quantity generated, by using this difference, the flow rate and the specific material characteristics of the heat transfer fluid. The heat quantity calculated is then finally displayed by the controller in kWh. Product features Installation and connection dimensions according to DIN ISO 4064 For horizontal and vertical installation The series is equipped with special 2-point sapphire bearing and stainless-steel axle as a single-jet impeller counter in dry-running design with magnetic coupling and has been conceived according to the latest technology To avoid disturbances caused by unclean water, only the impeller sits in the fluid path The counter can be rotated for easier reading
