6 - Installation and Commissioning
Installation shall meet valid rules and may be done by qualified staff only.
Defects caused by improper installation, use or handling are not covered by warranty.
After the tank is installed and connected to an existing heating system, it is recommended to clean the entire heating
system using a suitable cleaning agent, e.g. BP 400.
Anti-corrosion protective liquid should be also used, e.g. BP 100 Plus.
6.1 - Connection to heat sources
Place the tank on the floor, as close to your heat source as possible. Fit the insulation, cf. Installing Insulation on the
Tank. Connect the heating system according to the recommended connection layout - see Chap. 5.Install a drain valve
at the lowest point of the tank. Install an air vent valve at the highest point of the system. Insulate all the conne cting
piping.
6.2 - El. heating element installation
These thermal stores can be equipped with electric heating elements of output up to 12 kW depending on the volume
of the thermal store - see the table of max. output of heating elements in hot water tanks and thermal stores. They can
be connected either directly (elements with integrated thermostat) or via the controller of the entire heating system.
All electric heating elements shall be protected by a safety thermostat.
The electric heating element shall be wired by a professionally qualified person only.
6.3 - Commissioning
This tank is not designed for DHW heating.
The tank shall be filled up together with the heating system, respecting valid standards and rules. In order to minimize
corrosion, special additives for heating systems should be used. The quality of heating water depends on the quality of
filling water at commissioning, on the top-up water quality and on the frequency of topping up. This has a strong influ
-
ence on the lifetime of heating systems. Poor quality of heating water may cause problems like corrosion or incrustati
-
on, esp. on heat transfer surfaces.
Fill the heating circuits with the appropriate fluids and air-bleed the entire system. Check all connections for leaks and
verify the system pressure. Set the heating controller in compliance with the documentation and manufacturer’s reco
-
mmendations. Check regularly proper function of all control and adjustment elements.
7 - Installing Insulation on the Tank
Product description
Fleece insulation with a hard polystyrene surface, closed by a quick locks.
Warning
Insulation installation shall be done in two or three persons, depending on its size. The PU leather surface coated
fleece insulation
must not be installed at temperatures below 20 °C
. If this cannot be avoided, the insulation shall
be pre-warmed in another room to at least 20 °C. It is impossible to install insulation of lower temperature, there is a
risk of damage.
Do not use any tools for installation.
Keep away from open fire.
Installing insulation
1. Put the bottom insulation under the tank and place the tank following installation instructions.
2. Wrap the insulation around the tank carefully. Check that the insulation adheres to its body perfectly. This can be
reached by rubbing and patting the insulation by hand from its centre evenly in both directions until the insulation
adheres to the tank’s surface completely and no bubbles are left.
3. Use the holes for connections as a rest during the insulation installation.
4. At least one person presses the insulation to the tank, pulling both ends together. The other person closes the quick
lock from the side.
5. Put on the upper insulation and cover.
6. Push on the covering plastic rosettes depending on the size of connections, or put on the flange plug(s) with insulation.
7. Finish the tank installation in compliance with the respective instructions and valid standards and rules.
