AI Customer ServiceMost solar thermal systems use antifreeze as the liquid to transport heat from the solar panel to the cylinder. However, there are a few drain back systems that only use water. The antifreeze is normally non-toxic propylene glycol (as opposed to toxic ethylene glycol). An antifreeze change may be required for your solar system.
Solar water heating systems that use an antifreeze solution (always propylene glycol, never or ethylene glycol because of toxicity) as a heat-transfer fluid have effective freeze protection as long as the proper antifreeze concentration is maintained. Antifreeze fluids degrade over time and normally should be changed every 3–5 years.
degradation of the antifreeze, leading to acidity. This can potentially lead to corrosion of the pipe work, solar cylinder or solar panel. breakdown of the in-built inhibitors. blockage of liquid channels in the system.

Recommended procedures: A utility pump and three high-temperature flexible hoses are required to connect to the fill and purge ports. This pump must be capable of lifting the glycol mixture from the mechanical room up to the top of the solar collectors. Pumps are commonly used for this purpose with output pressure ratings of 30 to 60 psi.
Use the proper pressure relief (PR) valves in the solar glycol loop with the right pressure rating and no temperature probe. Install a metal blow-off tube from the PR valve into a metal collection tank. Make sure diaphragm expansion tanks, air vents and all other components exposed to high-temperature glycol are rated for these extremes.
