Charging temp max (4750) The buffer storage tank is charged from solar energy up to the set charging temperature maximum.
9 Settings Temp increase: If the return temperature of the consumers is lower than the temperature on the selected sensor (prog. no. 4795), the return flow can be preheated by redirecting over the lower part of the storage tank. In this way, for example, return flow preheating can be implemented. Partial charging setpoint (4800) As a result of the hydraulic uncoupling of the lower part of the buffer storage tank, the volume of the storage tank to be heated is reduced.
Page 111
9 Settings Flow setpoint boost (5020) The boiler temperature setpoint for charging the DHW storage tank consists of the DHW temperature setpoint and the flow setpoint boost. Transfer boost (5021) Through the transfer, energy can be moved from the buffer storage tank into the DHW storage tank.
Page 112
9 Settings The primary pump is only switched on if the boiler temperature is above the set DHW temperature. If the boiler temperature drops below the DHW nominal setpoint minus the DHW switching difference, charging pump is switched off again. Off: The function is switched off.
