Page 10: Operation
OPERATION The Apricus Tempermate warm water system is a centralised warm water plant which allows warm water to be circulated around a building. The system utilises a thermostatic mixing valve(s) which mixes hot and cold water in such a way as to maintain the set temperature of the mixed water at the outlet. -
Page 11: Hydraulic Characteristics
The system must be sized taking into account the current legislation with regard to the nominal flow rate of each outlet. The reference is AS/NZS 3500.1. Note that the Apricus Tempermate systems should be sized on maximum nominal flows. Pipe dimensions are based on velocities of 1.5m/s and the valves not exceeding the recommended maximum differential pressure of 150kPa. -
Page 12: System Sizing
= 750 x 20% diversified flow = 150 l/min SELECT APRICUS TEMPERMATE ‘AT240’ WITH MAX NOMINAL FLOW OF 180L/M Please note that the above calculation is a quick sizing guide only. Flow rates and loading units to work out actual diversified flow are dependent on the type of application, ie hotel, apartments, commercial premises, aged care facility etc, and should be calculated by an experienced designer or engineer. -
Page 13: Installation
AS/NZS 3500.4 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. SYSTEM PARAMETERS Prior to the installation of the Apricus Tempermate, the system must be checked to ensure that the system operating conditions fall within the recommended operating range of the unit, i.e. verify supply temperatures, supply pressures, risk assessments, etc. -
Page 14: Water Pressure
To ensure that the performance of the Apricus Tempermate is maintained (in the event of cold water failure), the temperature of the hot water supply at the point of entry to the unit must be a minimum of 10°C higher than the set mixed water discharge temperature. -

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Check the connections between the Warm Water System and hot water plant closely for correct connection using the plumbing diagrams provided. The following points are of particular importance: 1. A non-return valve must be installed with the Warm Water System between the cold water take off to the Warm Water System and the inlet to the water heating plant. -

Page 17: Commissioning The Tmv
COMMISSIONING THE TMV Upon completion of the installation, the valve should be tested and commissioned in accordance with AS 4032.3 as per the procedure outlined below or as specified by the local authority. Use the “Commissioning Report” form at the back of this manual. The following instructions should be read and understood prior to commissioning the Caleffi 2522TM series valve. -
Page 18: Adjusting The Valve Temperature
f) Perform the thermal shut-off test. Isolate the cold water supply to the Caleffi valve and monitor the mixed water temperature. The outlet flow should quickly cease flowing. TIP: to perform the thermal shut off test on each TMV individually without interrupting the warm water supply to the system;... -
Page 19: System Recirculation Commissioning
3. Monitor the return temperature on the digital thermometer inserted in the cold water inlet connection of the Warm Water temperature. Note: During recirculation i.e. when water is not being drawn, the Apricus Tempermate Warm Water System requires a flow rate of at least 4 litres per minute per valve and a temperature differential between the outlet and return of at least 3°C to maintain the... -

MAINTENANCE AND WATER TESTING REQUIREMENTS The following table details legislative requirements for the maintenance and water testing of warm water systems by State, as at December 2014. State Mandatory Inspections & Maintenance Mandatory Microbial Water Testing TMV's to be cleaned and maintained annually (1) Not required TMV's to be cleaned and maintained annually (1) Not required... -
Page 22: Maintenance Of Warm Water System
In-service tests should be carried out regularly to monitor and record the performance of the Apricus Tempermate in accordance with AS 4032.3. Deterioration in performance can indicate the need for servicing of the valves and/or water supply. If, during these tests, the mixed water temperature has changed significantly from the previous test results, record the change before re- adjusting the mixed water temperature. -
Page 23: Year Service
5 YEAR SERVICE The thermostat and o-rings must be replaced every 5 years, as required by AS4032.3. The designed minimum service life of these components is 5 years providing the valve is operated within the recommended operating parameters. However when conditions or usage do not conform to the recommended operating parameters or conditions, the thermostat and o-rings may need to be replaced more frequently. -

SPARE PARTS With reference to the exploded diagram, the following spare parts are available on request for Caleffi 2522TM series valves: Kit A - Service Kit for the inlet sub-assembly. Kit B - Service Kit for the internal components. ... -
Page 25: Microbial Water Testing
MICROBIAL WATER TESTING Regular maintenance, inspection and cleaning programs are the key to reducing the risk of Legionella transmission. The microbiological monitoring of warm water systems for Legionella should never be used to replace these practices, but may be used in conjunction with them to validate their effectiveness. -
Page 26: Legionella Testing
LEGIONELLA TESTING Unless prescribed otherwise by a regulating authority, sampling at the following rates are recommended: STATE WATER SAMPLING FREQUENCY Take water samples from 2 Monthly for first 12 months, then Victoria fixtures every 3 months (see notes) Take water samples from 2 Monthly for first 3 months, then every fixtures 6 months (see notes) - Page 27 to have appropriate monitoring programs in place which satisfy Section 19 of the NSW Code of Practice for the Control of Legionnaires’ Disease. Note: The above is the minimum requirement for all warm water systems in NSW. Some NSW Health Care facilities may require additional testing as determined by the institutions management after conducting a risk assessment and;...

Page 28: Legionella Detection
LEGIONELLA DETECTION Legionella Count Action A count of less than 10cfu/ml is considered satisfactory. No additional action is required other than continuing existing maintenance and testing procedures. < 10 cfu/ml Note: Less than 10cfu/ml is considered as “not detected” for the purposes of State legislation and this procedure. -
Page 29: Thermal Disinfection
THERMAL DISINFECTION If decontamination of the warm water system is required following detection of Legionella in a water sample, the entire warm water system including all pipes and fittings including TMVs, taps and shower heads must be sanitised by heat. Note: alternatives such as chlorination, chlorine dioxide, ozone and other chemical options may be used for disinfection but are not detailed in this procedure. - Page 30 5. Open each outlet connected to the warm water system starting with the most distant point and flush each outlet line for 5 minutes 6. Record the temperature and duration of the sanitation period. Note: the total sanitation period from when the warm water system reaches the sanitation temperature must be at least one (1) hour.

Page 31: Uv Disinfection
UV DISINFECTION The Apricus Tempermate can be to be supplied complete with UV disinfection. UV disinfection is an efficient, low cost and environmentally friendly process. UV light kills pathogenic micro-organisms quickly without leaving any residues, harmful by-products or affecting the smell or taste of the water. -
Page 32: Optional Components For Uv
OPTIONAL COMPONENTS FOR UV AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF A solenoid shutoff control valve may be installed prior to the UV system to automatically shut off the supply of water if the warm water outlet reaches 60°C. Once the system reaches this temperature limit, switch will activate the solenoid shutoff valve which will stop the supply of warm water. -
