Variant Menu: Databases > Components

The database selections for components offer some features facilitating the selection. This is valid for:

  • Collectors
  • Boilers

Note: Tanks (Buffer tanks, Combination tanks, DHW stratified tanks) and External heat exchangers are available in T*SOL Expert.

! The databases are maintained and updated by the manufacturers of the components themselves, and we make them available to you with periodic database updates.

! Do you miss any equipment? Send an email to database@valentin-software.com, and we will refer your request to the right contact of the manufacturer, who is in charge of their database entries.

For selection of components, please refer to: Selection Dialogs for Systems and Components
