3  KEY FEATURES

3 .11  The APU Mini comprises of the following main components:-

1 . 

Moulded tank – Main body of the APU, comprising of an integrated water  

 

 

tank with warning pipe and weir overflow and mounting the solenoid    

 

 

piston pumps, manifold and controller . 

2 . 

Pump assembly – One or two piston pump units mounted into the  

 

 

 

moulded tank with vibration isolating rubber mounts .

3 . 

Outlet manifold – Brass manifold with pressure transducer used to monitor  

 

 

system pressure and connection to the pump(s)

4 . 

Programmable controller – Intuitive, user set controller, allowing system set up    

 

and easy alarm connection . 

5 . 

Wall mounting plate – Robust stainless steel wall mounting plate allowing  

 

 

quick, easy installation and removal if needed .

6 . 

Moulded cover – Moulded acrylic capped ABS cover retained to the    

 

 

moulded tanks with Dual Lock

TM

 fastening system for quick and easy    

 

 access .

3 .12 

Principle of operation: The pressurisation unit consists of a break tank and  

 

 

one or two piston pumps . The break tank is supplied with mains water from  

 

 

the left to a float valve and includes an overflow and weir to maintain an AB air  

 

 

gap in the tank . The unit is connected to the heating/chiller system  

 

 

 

via a flexible hose which can exit the unit on either the left or right . The  

 

 

 

pumps are connected via a flexible hose to the tank via a rubber connector .

 

A pressure transducer monitors system pressure and if a reduction in system  

 

 

pressure is detected, the controller runs the pumps until the system is re-   

 

 

pressurised to the required pre-set level . If the unit only has a single pump   

 

 

connected it will run on a 30 minutes on/30 minutes off basis until this level  

 

 

is reached, if the unit is a twin pump model the pumps run in duty standby   

 

 

mode (the controller will alternate which pump starts first to even the  

 

 

 

wear on the pumps) . The manifold is fitted with a non-return valve to ensure  

 

 

system pressure is maintained once pressurised .

4 INSTALLATION

4 .11 

Fill valve flow restrictor guidelines: Ensure side entry fill valve is fitted    

 

 

with the correct filter and flow restrictor combination (dependant on the    

 

 

mains water pressure) into the G ½ threaded tail as outlined below:

 

Coloured insert -  To be used for water pressure between 1 and 4 bar

 

White insert - The APU Mini is pre fitted with the white high pressure insert .   

 

 

Change if the unit is slow to fill or the water pressure is low (below 4 bar) .

4 .12 

Cold mains feed connection:  The connection to the cold water mains inlet is  

 

 

made using a suitable fitting to the G ½ male thread on the left hand side of  

 

 

the APU Mini . When tightening ensure the fill valve within the tank is not    

 

 

rotated . If the valve is rotated it may not function correctly with the risk    

 

 

of flooding .  

(Do not overtighten) .

4 .13 

Wall plate fixing: 

1 .  When installing the APU Mini on a wall ensure suitable fixings for the wall  

 

 

structure are used and are suitable to support the unit when fully filled with  

 

 

water (see technical section for filled weights) . The holes in the wall plate are  

 

6 mm in diameter, the maximum permissible screw head height is 3 mm .

2 .  All holes in the wall mounting plate must have fixings used in them as per  

 

 

the image below, do not leave out fastenings as this will compromise the  

 

 

integrity of the wall plate .

3 .  Ensure you have sufficent room around the area you are mounting the APU  

 

 

Mini to allow installation, servicing and operation . See section 2 .12 .

4 .  Ensure wall plate is fixed to a flat vertical wall and the top of the plate is  

 

 horizontal .
