Hydraulic installation for monobloc systems
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the device does not
freeze . Please use one of the following options to do so:
• The heating circuit is operated with a food safe antifreeze mixture
(40 % propylene glycol mixture) for temperatures down to -20 °C)
• An additional heater unit in the monobloc unit prevents the heating
circuit freezing .
• The heating circuit is drained by a system to be provided by the
customer (manual or automatic) .
➤
Fill the system as follows:
➤
Open all thermostatic radiator valves of the heating system, and all
other shutoff valves where applicable .
➤
Connect a filling hose (evacuated if possible) to the system .
➤
Keep adding water or antifreeze mix until the manometer reaches
the nominal pressure .
➤
Vent the system (see the Commissioning section (9)) . Then check the
pressure again and add liquid if necessary
