Chapter 3 - Installation Location
3.1 Installation Instructions
The ideal position of the electors is always close to the source of oxygen entry.
If the elector is installed in a bypass, the diameter of the supply line should be at least equal to the diameter of
the main line and not less than 1 „for large diameters.
For systems with large pressure fluctuations, the elector in bypass installation must always be integrated with
its own feed pump.
Always connect the elector where there is a good flow of water.
The use of a micro bubble separator at the warmest point in the system is a useful addition to electrochemical
water treatment.
3.2 Installation in Bypass or Full Flow
In heating systems up to a system volume of 1.5 m
3
, the design of the reaction vessels allows installation either
in the full flow of the heating system or in a bypass (auxiliary connection).
If the system is operated in a low-salt mode and the focus is on stabilisation of the pH, the elector can be
installed in full flow.
In systems with a high oxygen input, if the installation purpose is primarily based on the electrochemical oxygen
consumption, we always recommend the proven bypass installation.
3.3 Possible Installation Locations
Please note that only the elector XS5 and elector S10 versions are suitable for full-flow or bypass installation.
All other versions of our elector reaction devices are designed exclusively for installation in the bypass. The
following diagrams show some installation variants.
3.3.1 Mains Return
Close to the source of oxygen ingress, ideal for
circulating contaminants.
3.3.2 Mains Flow
If the elector should also be used as an air collecting
tank or for venting.
