NOTICE
▪ It is recommended to install shut-off valves on the
space heating/cooling water in and out connections, as
well as on the domestic cold water in and domestic hot
water out connections. These shut-off valves are field
supplied.
▪ However, make sure there is no valve between the
pressure relief valve (field supply) and the DHW
tank.
NOTICE
Install air purge valves at all local high points.

NOTICE
A pressure relief valve (field supply) with an opening
pressure of maximum 10 bar (=1 MPa) must be installed
on the domestic cold water inlet connection in accordance
with the applicable legislation.
NOTICE
▪ A drain device and pressure relief device must be
installed on the cold water inlet connection of the
storage tank.
▪ To avoid back siphonage, it is recommended to install a
non-return valve on the water inlet of the storage tank
in accordance with the applicable legislation. Make
sure it is NOT between the pressure relief valve and
the storage tank.
▪ It is recommended to install a pressure reducing valve
on the cold water inlet in accordance with the
applicable legislation.
▪ It is recommended to install an expansion vessel on the
cold water inlet in accordance with the applicable
legislation.
▪ It is recommended to install the pressure relief valve on
a higher position than the top of the storage tank.
Heating of the storage tank causes water to expand
and without pressure relief valve the water pressure of
the domestic hot water heat exchanger inside the tank
can rise above design pressure. Also the field
installation (piping, tapping points, etc.) connected to
the tank is subjected to this high pressure. To prevent
this, a pressure relief valve needs to be installed. The
overpressure prevention depends on the correct
operation of the field installed pressure relief valve. If
this is NOT working correctly, water leakage may
occur. To confirm good operation, regular maintenance
is required.

To connect a pressure vessel

1 Connect a suitably dimensioned and preset pressure vessel for
the heating system. There may not be any hydraulic blocking
elements between the heat generator and the safety valve.
2 Position the pressure vessel in an easily accessible place
(maintenance, parts replacement).
