Example:
System: Vitodens 200
Boiler water volume 5 litres
Output 20 kW
Plate radiator
System volume approx. 130 litres
Heating system 70 ºC/65 ºC
Calculation:
Heating system 70 ºC/65 ºC: average water
temperature approx. 60 ºC

Result:
The integral expansion vessel
(10 litres capacity) is sufficiently large
for this system.

3.3 Expansion vessels
When making the water interconnections,
check that the size of the expansion
0.75 bar vessel matches the system conditions.

Note
If the integral expansion vessel or the
expansion vessel in the mounting frame
is insufficient, connect an adequately
sized expansion vessel to the expansion
vessel connector on the Vitodens.
