Comparing the size of the integrated expansion
vessel (KWB-3A boiler only)
The following diagrams allow verifying that the integrated expansion
vessel has sufficient capacity for the intended application, or if an
additional expansion vessel is needed (not for radiant floor heating).
The following standard conditions were used:
• Pre-charge volume 20% of the rated volume in the expansion vessel
• Differential to the safety valve of 7.25 psi (0.5 bar)
• Pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel equal to the static
system height above the boiler
• Maximum operating pressure: 30 psi (2.07 bar)
Fig. 16 Operating capacity of the expansion vessel in °F and gallons
Fig. 17 Operating capacity of the expansion vessel in °C and liters
Key to Fig. 16 and Fig. 17:
[l]
Pre-charge pressure 7.25 psi (0.5 bar) (default setting)
[ll]
Pre-charge pressure 10.9 psi (0.75 bar)
[lll]
Pre-charge pressure 14.5 psi (1.0 bar)

▶ If results are borderline: Determine precise vessel sizes.
▶ If the results are to the right of the curve: Install additional expansion
vessel.

Selecting the installation location
Installation location requirements
Follow the current national and local codes and regulations
▶ Follow country specific requirements
▶ Follow installation instructions of the venting system accessories and
their clearances
Combustion air
To avoid corrosion, keep the supply of combustion air free of corrosive
substances; contained in solvents, paints, adhesives, propellants and
domestic cleaning agents.
