Table 27 Domestic Hot Water trouble shooting
Faulty DHW control valve or dirt
inside valve body causing low flow or
no flow though district supply circuit
▶ Check that control valve is functioning correctly,
▶ Perform re-calibration of control valve,
▶ Open control valve manually using DHW rotary switch on HIU room controller,
section 7.2.
▶ Clean valve if necessary.
▶ Replace control valve if necessary.
District supply temperature too low ▶ Check that the District supply temperature is correct for the required heat output,
section 13.3 "Domestic Hot Water performance chart".
District flow rate is too low
▶ Check that the District flow rate is correct for the required heat output,
section 13.3 "Domestic Hot Water performance chart".
District supply differential pressure
is too low
▶ Check that the supply differential pressure is correct for the required heat output,
section 13.3 "Domestic Hot Water performance chart".
▶ Adjust any installed flow regulating valves at the heat interface unit to obtain the correct
differential pressure.
▶ Increase the supply differential pressure on the system.
Calcified plate DHW heat exchanger ▶ Check heat exchanger.
▶ Replace heat exchanger.
Cross leaking DHW plate heat
exchanger
▶ Replace heat exchanger.
DHW temperature
too high at the tap
HIU control unit incorrectly set or
faulty
▶ Ensure that the DHW temperature set-point is set correctly on the HIU room controller,
section 7.2.
▶ Replace if necessary
Time taken to get
hot water at the tap
is too long
Mechanical by-pass valve has dirt
inside valve body
▶ Clean valve if necessary.
Mechanical by-pass valve is set
incorrectly, or is faulty
▶ Adjust by-pass valve.
▶ Replace if necessary
Electronic keep warm function
▶ Adjust by-pass valve.
▶ Replace if necessary
Faulty DHW control valve or dirt

District flow rate is too low
▶ Check that the District flow rate is correct for the required heat output,
section 13.3 "Domestic Hot Water performance chart".
District supply differential pressure
is too low
▶ Check that the supply differential pressure is correct for the required heat output,
section 13.3 "Domestic Hot Water performance chart".
▶ Adjust any intalled flow regulating valves at the heat interface unit to obtain the correct
differential pressure.
▶ Increase the supply differential pressure on the system.
DHW over
temperature safety
valve closed
DHW control valve stuck in open
position
▶ Check that control valve is functioning correctly,
▶ Perform re-calibration of control valve,
▶ Open control valve manually using DHW rotary switch on HIU control unit,
section 7.2.
▶ Replace control valve if necessary.
Faulty DHW over temperature safety
valve
▶ Replace DHW over temperature safety valve.
Cross leaking DHW plate heat
exchanger
▶ Replace DHW plate heat exchanger.
Bypass temperature
higher than 41°C
(+ 5 K)
Wrong setting point by room
controller Bypass temperature
higher than 41°C (+ 5 K)
▶ Use the room controller and reset the temperature setting to 41°C (default value) and/
or choose "off" for the bypass function.
