Installation of an AlfaPilot unit
5.1
Operating principle AlfaPilot
AlfaPilot is a simple and reliable system based on comparative measure of primary return, S3, and primary
storage vessel temperature, Pt1. AlfaPilot acts as a “piston” effect on the primary storage vessel allowing
fulfilling peak demands of Domestic Hot Water.
If the temperature in Pt1 is higher than the temperature in S3+
T (
T is settable, default value is 5°C), stored
hot water in the primary vessel will be sent to the boiler/generator or the heating network. The primary vessel
will be filled up with cold water from the primary return, before the AlfaPilot, until measured temperature in Pt1
becomes lower or equal to the temperature in S3 +
T.
The colder the temperature is in S3, the more efficient is the AlfaPilot.
Pay attention when making the settings of flow rates and temperature difference on the tap water systems
primary side.
In the case, PT1
≤ S3+
T, the primary storage vessel is by-passed and heat recovery in the primary storage
vessel goes on with help from solar panels or other renewable heating source, for example heat pump or
geothermal. The 3-port valve opens, and flow goes from AB to A port.
The primary return water enters the modulating
valve in port ‘AB’.
If the water is sufficiently cold, return water flows
through port
‘B’ to the bottom part of the primary
storage vessel.
If the water is too hot, return water flows through
the ‘A’ port, towards the boiler/heat generator.
