Separable sections are designed to facilitate
tank installation at renovation sites or through
small inlet openings, enabling the mounting of
optimally large accumulators on site.
1. An accumulator in separable sections has
detachable insulation pads that cannot
be removed without dismantling the ex-
ternal covering plate of the tank This re-
quires removal of all drill screws. Special
care should be taken at this stage to avoid
damaging the covering plate.
2. The separate section pads become ac-
cessible after removing the covering plate.
They are fastened to the accumulator with
tape for transportation. Carefully detach
the section pads and set them aside while
moving the accumulator.
3. On detaching the section pads, the tank
can be carried through a door roughly as
wide as the diameter of the metal jacket.
With the tank in position, the section pads
may be reattached using urethane adhe-
sive. Be careful not to use too much ad-
hesive and check that the fastening hooks
for the covering plate screws are in posi-
tion after attaching the sections.
4. Carefully replace the outer covering plate.
It is a good idea to use a binding cloth or
similar aid to tighten the covering plate
onto the urethane, but be careful not to
damage the surface of the covering plate.
For example, a cardboard protector can
be placed under the binding cloth to avoid
scratching the covering plate. Fasten the
drill screws after correctly repositioning
the covering plate.
A properly installed accumulator with separa-
ble sections has practically the same insulation
properties as a normal accumulator. The most
important aspect of conserving insulation is to
take care when cementing the urethane seg-
ments back onto the tank. Separable sections
are available for most round accumulators in
the Akvaterm range.
