Before You Start - Danfoss ECL COMFORT User Manual

Before you start

Sketch your application
The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide
range of heating, hot-water and cooling 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
principles:
Heating:
Typically, the flow temperature is always adjusted according to
your requirements.
The flow temperature sensor (S2) is the most important sensor.
The desired flow temperature at S2 is calculated in the ECL
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 (S3) 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.
If the measured room temperature does not equal the desired
room temperature, the desired flow temperature can be adjusted.
DHW:
If the measured DHW temperature is lower than the desired DHW
heating temperature minus the cut-in difference, the desired flow
temperature at S4 is kept in order to heat the DHW.
