The best way to control the temperature is to mount Thermostat valve or a similar valve on the bypass
pipe, placing the sensor on the return pipe, or a suitable 3-way valve
In this way, hot water will always be provided from the forward supply so that the return has the proper
temperature.
The installation must take place in accordance with to the piping diagram from these instructions appear
from page 42.
21.2.4 Anti-freeze measures.
Expansion tanks and safety pipes must be protected everywhere and in their entire lengths against the
formation of ice. To the necessary extent, expansion tanks and water-filled safety pipes must be kept
warm by means of circulating water from the plant, preferably indirect
If the protection against ice formation is made by means of a circulation piping to the safety pipe or the
expansion tanks, that piping must be installed in such a way that it is possible to check the circulation by
feeling the temperature with your hand. A circulation piping may be connected to the safety pipe
immediately underneath the expansion tank, but the distance between the branching and the tank should
only just be as long as needed for placing the fittings.
In case the plant is not operating during wintertime it must be drained, unless it is otherwise protected
against the formation of ice, for example by adding a sufficient amount of anti-freeze solution to the
water.
21.2.5. Check the screw direction of rotation
Before starting up you must make sure that the screw turns in the correct direction = clockwise when
observed from behind the stoker. If the screw turns in the wrong direction, just rotate the phase inverter.
21.2.6. Sprinkler, water connection
The stoker sprinkler valve is mounted at the factory, and the
appertaining pressure tank is to be mounted in a suitable place near
the stoker.
Connect the pressure tank directly to your water supply, then mount
a pipe from the pressure tank and onto the sprinkler valve sitting at
the right side of the screw tube. The sprinkler valve stud fits a 15mm
pipe.
The pressure tank is provided with a non-return valve to ensure that
there is always water in the sprinkler even in case of a failure in the
water supply.
The water supply connection must be carried out by the certified
plumber.
