CH or DHW Boilers

cH or dHW Boilers

default: 0

The CH or DHW Boilers setting specifies how many boilers in a Split
Cascade System will respond to a domestic hot water call.  The CH or
DHW Boilers always include the Master boiler.  The remaining boilers
will  only  respond  to  central  heating  calls.    This  allows  the  Cascade
System to satisfy both central heating and domestic hot water calls at the
same time.  At the completion of a domestic hot water call, the CH or
DHW Boilers will again be available to respond to central heating calls.
Press the 

LEfT

or 

RIGHT

buttons to adjust the CH or DHW Boilers

setting then press the 

oK

button to store the setting.

Splitting the cascade System into cH only and cH or dHW boilers
requires the boilers to be piped as shown in figure 10, page 30.  The
cH  or  dHW  boilers  must  be  piped  to  both  cH  and  dHW  loads
directly for proper operation.

dHW  Priority  must  be  set  to  Enabled  in  dHW  Settings  of  the
cascade Master for proper operation.

all cH or dHW Boilers will respond to a domestic hot water call.  It
is important that the domestic load is capable of transferring all of
the heat generated to prevent excessive boiler cycling.

cH Proportional Gain

default: 10

CH Proportional Gain allows the cascade response to be adjusted for a
central  heating  call.    CH  Proportional  Gain  has  the  greatest  influence
when  the  system  temperature  is  far  away  from  the  setpoint.    Press  the

LEfT

or 

RIGHT

buttons to adjust the CH Proportional Gain then press

the 

oK

button to store the setting.  

Increase cH Proportional Gain

-

The Cascade System will reach setpoint faster, but overshooting
the setpoint may occur.

-

To reach the setpoint faster, increase the CH Proportional Gain
value by 2.  Perform Cascade Autodetection and initiate a cen-
tral heating call.  Observe the cascade response and make fur-
ther adjustments if necessary.

decrease cH Proportional Gain

-

The Cascade System will take longer to reach the setpoint, but
setpoint overshooting is minimized.

-

If  the  setpoint  is  reached  too  quickly,  decrease  the  CH
Proportional Gain value by 2.  Perform Cascade Autodetection
and initiate a central heating call.  Observe the cascade response
and make further adjustments if necessary.
