Unit description
The buffer tanks are employed for the storage of
hot water in all types of warm water central heating
systems (solid fuel/oil-fired boilers, heat pumps,
solar plant, gas/electric instantaneous water
heaters) within enclosed spaces and for the
storage of cold water for cooling processes or heat
recovery purposes.
The storage tank volume can be adapted to your
particular needs by connecting several buffer tanks
to form batteries. The buffer tanks may be used
universally, either as parallel buffer tanks (hydraulic
compensators) or series buffers.
The insulation of the buffer tanks is comprised of
50 mm directly applied, CFC-free, fine-pore PU
foam. The external cladding applied ex works is
comprised of a powder-coated steel sheet cladding
in the colour: silver grey, the insulation is water
vapour diffusion proof.
All buffer tanks are manufactured from quality steel
in accordance with DIN EN 10025/10111. An elec-
tric auxiliary heater (immersion heater) can be
screwed into each buffer tank via a 6/4" socket.
For retrofitting a fin-tube heat exchanger, a D180
(f=180mm) KPS 300 blank flange cover is fitted to
the storage tank. The buffer tanks are equipped
with 4 ports. A sensor channel enables the KPS
300 variable installation of a heat sensor in the
storage tank.

Installation instructions
for qualified personnel
General instructions prior to installation
n
Ensure that the area in which the unit is to be
operated is free of frost and easily accessible
for required maintenance, repairs and even for
the possible replacement of the unit (e.g. avoid
narrow passageways and doorways).
n
When installing the buffer tanks in non-
standard locations, such as in lofts, residential
units with floors that are sensitive to water,
storerooms, etc. take account of the possibility
of leaking water, and ensure that a facility is in
place to collect the water, including appropriate
drainage methods.
n
The unit may only be installed and operated on
level surfaces.
n
When planning the unit’s installation surface
and selecting the installation location, note the
total weight of the buffer tanks, including the
weight of the water (the nominal capacity), in
order to ensure that the load-bearing capacity
of the support surface is not exceeded.
n
Ensure proper clearance from furnace sys-
tems.
n
Make sure that the connection block (water
and electric connections and heater installa-
tion) of units with enclosures, which are
installed in small, confined spaces or in sus-
pended ceilings are still freely accessible and
that there us no build-up of heat.
n
Leave at least 500mm of space free for the
removal of the cleaning/heating flange.
NOTICE!
The buffer tank is not suitable for preparation
for domestic water!
Central heating connection
Before being placed into service, the heat distribu-
tion must be rinsed out in order to remove any
soiling (e.g. scale) from the heating circuit.
Assembly
n
Check the contents of the packaging for com-
pleteness and check the unit for visible trans-
port damage. Immediately notify your contract
partner of any deficiencies.
n
The unit must be assembled on site.
n
For all connection ports, ensure that the
threading is fully engaged.
