What You Will Find in This Chapter
This chapter presents the purpose, scope and structure of the manual. Also,
recommended ways to use the manual are described.
Please read this chapter carefully; it will enable you to effectively use this manual in
solar heating system operation, inspection, troubleshooting, repair and maintenance
activities.
1.1 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual provides information on the operation, inspection, troubleshooting,
repair and maintenance of liquid solar heating systems. That is, solar heating or
cooling systems using liquid, rather than air, in the solar collectors to gather heat,
pumps to move it and tanks of water to store it. Solar electric (photovoltaic) systems
which generate electricity directly from solar energy are addressed in their own
manual.
We assume the reader is confronted with an existing system, and wants an answer
to one of the following questions:
o How does it work? (Operation)
o Is it working? (Inspection)
o What's wrong with it? (Troubleshooting)
o How do I fix it? (Repair)
o How do I keep it working? (Maintenance)
NOTE
This manual is designed to be used in the field by staff
performing the actual inspection, maintenance or repair of
solar systems. Do not let it collect dust on a shelf!
