When using open system on the FLOW line following elements are to be installed: safety
pipework for the open expansion vessel, boiler valve. On the RETURN line come safety return line of
the open expansion vessel, boiler valve and circulation pump valves.
Open expansion vessel is connected to the hot-water distribution pipes (FLOW and RETURN)
as shown on Figure – with an additional OVERFLOW pipe output plus CIRCULATION pipe (to prevent
freeze during winter months).
Please note that no additional items shall be connected to the open expansion vessel – espe-
cially not valves.
The size of expansion vessel is deducted from the following equation:
