14. Determination of the maximum capacity of the softening cartridge
14.1 GERMANY: Requirements according to VDI 2035 page 1
14.2 AUSTRIA: Requirements according to ÖNORM H 5195-1
The determination of the maximum capacity of the softening cartridge (tables A and B) is carried out in accor-
dance with VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure - Society of German Engineers) in relation to the overall
heating power.

The determination of the maximum capacity of the softening cartridge (tables C and D) is carried out in accor-
dance with the Önorm (Österreichisches Normungsinstitut - Austrian standardisation institute) in relation to
the overall water content of the entire heating system.

Over 5000 litres
Minimum requirement:
Softening to less than 17°
