The ESBE solar VTS520 Series thermostatic mixing valve It has been specifically designed for the distribution of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) in solar thermal energy systems. It is the expert solution when dealing with high water temperatures and a component with maximum strength is required.
The VTS520 Series combines a high flow capacity with robust engineering, guaranteeing user safety through its anti-burn protection function essential.
✨ Maximum Strength and Key Benefits for Solar Systems (EEAT)
Rely on ESBE technology to safely manage the high temperatures generated by solar collectors.
-
Extreme Thermal Resistance: Components designed to operate reliably with the high temperatures typical of water from solar heating systems.
-
Absolute Burn Protection: In the event of a failure in the cold water supply, the valve automatically cuts off the flow of hot water, protecting the user immediately.
-
High Flow Rate and Functionality: It offers a high flow capacity for efficient DHW distribution, being suitable for systems with and without hot water recirculation (HWC).
-
High Precision Regulation: Specific regulation range of 45 to 65°C, optimized for solar systems and to meet disinfection requirements.
-
Flexible Installation: Available with robust connections 1" and 1 1/4" male, plus connection kits with adapters for common diameters (3/4").

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why is the VTS520 series the "best choice" for solar DHW?
The VTS520 is built with materials and a thermostatic cartridge designed to withstand significantly higher temperatures that can be achieved in a domestic hot water tank heated by solar collectors, unlike standard thermostatic valves which can fail or wear out prematurely under these conditions.
2. How does the VTS520 differ from the VTA320 Series?
While the VTA320 is a universal valve for standard and underfloor heating applications, the VTS520 is specifically designed for solar systems with high temperatures. In addition, the VTS520 offers larger diameter connections (up to 1 1/4").4" and high flow rate) and a higher regulation range (up to 65°C) than the VTA320 (up to 60°C).
3. Does the adapter kit include check valves?
Yes. The VTS520 product range supplied with connection kits includes three adapter connectors along with two check valvesThis greatly simplifies installation and ensures the necessary unidirectional flow in the system.
