Before You Start - Danfoss ECL Comfort P30 User Manual

Before you start

Sketch your application
The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide
range of heating and hot-water systems with different
configurations and capacities.
If your system differs from the diagrams shown in section
10, you may want to make a sketch of the system about to
be installed. This makes it easier to use the Installer's Guide,
which will guide you step-by-step from installation to final
adjustments before the end-user takes over.
The controller is pre-programmed with factory settings that are
shown in the relevant sections of this guide.
However, you might come across some settings that are not listed
in this instruction. These settings could be related either to recent
updates or the use of optional modules (which are described in
the instructions in question).
How to use this guide
This guide is divided into two parts:

The application
Typically, the flow temperature is always adjusted according to
your requirements.
The flow temperature sensor (S3) is the most important sensor.
The desired flow temperature at S3 is calculated in the ECL
Comfort controller, based on the outdoor temperature (S1). The
lower the outdoor temperature, the higher the desired flow
temperature.
The motorized control valve (M1) is opened gradually when the
flow temperature is lower than the desired flow temperature and
vice versa.
The return temperature (S4) to the district heating supply should
not be too high. If so, the desired flow temperature can be
adjusted (typically to a lower value) thus resulting in a gradual
closing of the motorized control valve. In boiler-based heating
supply the return temperature should not be too low (same
adjustment procedure as above).
If the measured room temperature does not equal the desired
room temperature, the desired flow temperature can be adjusted.
The circulation pump, P1, is ON when the desired flow
temperature is higher than 20 °C or the outdoor temperature is
lower than 2 °C.
