Determining the Number and Position of Expansion Modules
The number and position of expansion modules depends on the system layout, the temperature range during use, and
any existing expansion joints in the building/load profile.
Procedure:
1.
Calculate the required expansion modules at building/load profile expansion points.
2.
Calculate the required expansion modules on straight load profile sections over 20 m.
NOTE!
If the system is operated at a constant temperature (including the installation tem-
perature), it can be assumed that no changes in length will result. In this case, no
expansion modules are needed. Any temperature fluctuations of ± 2.5 K or less can
be considered constant! The temperature range specified for the system must
be noted.
