4.4 Hydraulic characteristics

The hydraulic characteristics represent the
pressure (head) available in the heating sys-
tem based on the flow rate.

The load loss for the boiler has already been
subtracted.
Flow rate with the thermostatic cocks
closed
The boiler has an automatic by-pass, which
protects the primary condensate exchanger.
If the circulation of water in the heating system
decreases too much or totally stops due to the
closure of thermostatic valves or circuit cocks,
the by-pass guarantees a minimum circulation

of water inside the primary condensate ex-
changer.
The by-pass is calibrated for a differential pres-
sure of approx. 0.3-0.4 bar.

4.5 Expansion vessel

The difference in height between the safety
valve and the highest point in the system can
be max. 10 metres.
If differences are greater, increase the pre-load
pressure of the expansion tank and the cold
system by 0.1 bar for each 1 metre increase.

* In conditions of:
• Max. average system temperature of 85°C
• Initial temperature when filling the system
10°C.
For systems with contents that ex-
ceed the maximum system content
(indicated in the table), a supple-
mentary expansion tank must be
installed.
