INCREASED VOLUMES AND HIGH PRESSURE OPERATION
1.
The capacity of all OSO cylinders can be increased by approximately 20% if the internal
hotwater dip pipe supply connection is removed. To accommodate the expansion of
secondary water an expansion vessel suitable for potable water must be connected to the
cold entry to the cylinder (See fig. 3).
2.
Increased pressures can be obtained by fitting an adjustable pressure reducing cartridge
(part no. 100511) in the pressure reducing valve. This cartridge is adjustable between
0.5 - 5.0 bar. It is advisable to remove the hot supply connection and fit a suitable
expansion vessel. (see 1 above) (see fig 3)
3.
Table 3 gives details of cylinder and expansion vessel capacities for a range of pressure
settings.
4.
The expansion vessel must be suitable for potable water and charged to the same
pressure as the pressure reducing valve.
