ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

COPPERHEARTICSSPECIFICATIONS

(Performance specifications subject to testing error of +/- 3%)

The solar water heating system shall be of the integral collector stor-age (ICS) type, and shall require no pumps, controls, or parasiticenergy consumption for its normal operation. The ICSunit shall bethe SunEarth CopperHeart ICSmodel number _____________. TheCopperHeart ICS unit shall be tested in conformance w ith SRCCStandard OG-200 by an independent testing laboratory, certifiedby the SRCC under system standard OG-300, and also by theFlorida Solar Energy Center (FSEC).

GENERALThe dimensions of the CopperHeart ICS model number

________________shall be________inches in length, 36 1/ 2 inchesin width, and 6 7/8 inches total depth to the top of the glazing cap-strip, and be rated at a nominal capacity of

__________________U.S. gallons. The casing shall be an anodizedaluminum extrusion (alloy 6063 T5), a minimum 1/ 8 inch in thick-ness, with an architectural dark bronze finish. Sheet metal fasten-ers shall be stainless steel (18-8 #10 X 1/2). The framewall shall besecured by four exterior anodized aluminum corner bracketsattached w ith 8 each AD54BSaluminum rivets per corner. The cas-ing backsheet shall be textured aluminum of not less than .014inches in thickness.

GLAZINGThe glazing shall be one sheet of low iron tempered glass of notless than 1/ 8 inch th ickness, and have a minimum transmissivity of91%. The glazing shall be thermally isolated from the casing by acontinuous EPDM gasket. There shall be a secondary silicone seal

between the glass and the aluminum capstrip to minimize the intrusion of moisture into the casing.

INSULATION

The backing insulation shall be a foil-faced polyisocyanurate foamsheathing board w ith a minimum thickness of 1 1/ 2 inches, andshall be siliconed in place to the aluminum backsheet. Aged ther-mal resistance R-value of the backing and side-wall insulation shalbe not less than R-12 at 75F mean temperature. The ends of the

ICSshall be insulated with 1 inch polyisocyanurate foam sheathingboard with an aged thermal resistance R-Value of no less than 7.2.

ABSORBER/STORAGE CYLINDERS

The CopperHeart ICSshall combine the collector and storage tankas one unit. The all copper storage cylinders shall be seamlessdrawn 4.125 inch O.D. copper tubing with a minimum wall thickness of .058 inches, and have machine spun ends to accept 7/ 8inch O.D. Type L copper internal manifolds. Eight storage cylindersshall be manifolded in series to form a storage vessel. The ratedinternal working pressure shall be 120 PSIG at 200F.All internal manifold braze joints shall be joined utilizing a copperphosphorous brazing alloy w ith no less than 15% silver content andconforming to the American Welding Societys BCuP-5 classification

EPDM grommets shall isolate the manifolds from the aluminum casing.

ABSORBER COATING

The absorber coating shall be a moderately selective paint with aminimum absorptivity of 94 percent and a maximum emissivity of56 percent.

Due to SunEarths policy of continuous product improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.

* For systems where two individual CopperHeart ICS units are required or preferred, the model numbers are CP-40-2 (two CP-20), CP-60 (tw o CP-30), and CP-80 (tw o CP-40).

THERMAL PERFORMANCE RATINGS*

* Performance results are for the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) rating day and are derived from TRNSYSsimulation in conjunction with SRCC OG-200 system test results. OG-200 tests were independently conducted by DSETLaboratories, Inc. Phoenix, AZ.
