    1.0 INTRODUCTION The pressurisation units in the Hamworthy Weymouth range are designed to maintain the minimum pressure requirement of modern low/medium temperature, hot water sealed systems. The pressurisation units also provide replacement water for losses from the systems. Note! The pressurisation unit is not to be used for the initial filling of the system.

    5.3.1, otherwise if in any doubt contact Hamworthy Heating Limited for comprehensive system sizing information. Hamworthy Heating Ltd supply a range of suitable expansion vessels details are shown below. A calculation sheet which can be used to determine a suitable volume for an expansion vessel can be found in the Appendix.

    The antigravity loop must not be lagged but can be fitted with an optional kit to prevent freezing. Consult Hamworthy Heating for details. The pipe-work and fittings must be pressure tested to 1.5 times the safety valve lift pressure.
  • Page 13: Electrical Connection

    The circuits are rated at 230 V ~50 Hz, 15A. NOTE if the factory set pressure switch levels are to be altered terminal should not be connected at this stage. The connection terminal and its location is shown in fig 10. Figure 10 Advanced Alarm Terminal HAMWORTHY HEATING LTD WEYMOUTH 500001112/C...
