Installation
Please safeguard the storage tank during unloading and transportation against tilting. Do not use inappropriate
transport equipment and avoid damages by crushes and whams.
The vessel is very heavy and has a high centre of gravity. Please transport it carefully and only use suitable
equipment, e.g. forklift, crane, lifting truck.
NB: please check the AquaTank delivered for completeness and possible damage in transit before transferring
it to the place where it is to be installed.
2.1
Siting
Avoid siting in damp locations and places below zero °C.
Because of the risk of corrosion avoid the contact of non-alloy steel with the stainless vessel (e.g. supports,
pipe work and tools etc. made of mild steel).
While working close to the stainless steel vessel and the insulation do not expose it to flying or grinding sparks.
Important: Any work to which a requirement of the common regulations and standards applies must be carried
out with suitable materials and in a workmanlike manner.
The AquaTank may only be installed and commissioned by a person holding a certificate for the installation of
unvented hot water storage systems. This person is then responsible for the correct installation, connection and
the equipment.
2.1.1
Space required
Install the AquaTank in a room that is protected from frost, flooding and is adequately ventilated. The maximum
admissible temperature in the room where the system is installed must not exceed 40°C. Make sure that there
is a adequate space between the AquaTank and the wall and other components to allow maintenance and
inspection (minimum 60 cm).
2.1.2
Substrate/foundation/load-bearing capacity
The load-bearing capacity of the substrate must be adequate for the weight of the system (see delivery
documents).
Alignment
Set up the system on the site and align horizontally. If the substrate is soft, place suitable shims under the foot
ring/frame feet so that the system does not sink in.
2.2
Connection
The pipes for connecting the AquaTank must be designed so that they will safely withstand the expected
chemical, mechanical, pressure and temperature stresses. The pipes connected to the AquaTank must not
transfer any reaction forces and vibrations into the vessel.
2.2.1
Electrical connection
The installation of the immersion heater needs to comply with the common regulations and standards for
electrical equipment as well as with the regulations of the public electricity supplier. The installation must be
carried out by a person holding a certificate for electrical installations. This person is then responsible for the
correct installation and connection of the immersion heater.
