    O VERV IE W DESCRIPTION The Mikrofill Rapide Extreme is a domestic hot water generator that combines the advantages of both an instantaneous water heater and a storage system, whilst ensuring that the associated boiler plant operates at its optimum efficiency during domestic hot water generation. The Rapide Extreme is suitable for open vented or unvented applications.
  • Page 8: Operation

    The primary connections of the plate heat exchanger are extended outside of the casing and made available for connection to a Mikrofill Ethos condensing boiler or other suitably sized boilers. To ensure only the correct minimum temperature is loaded and stored in the cylinder, the primary temperature sensor (TT4) will look for a minimum primary temperature before releasing the loading pump to allow the loading process to begin.
  • Page 9: Installation

    IN ST AL LA TION INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Please read and understand these instructions before installing the Rapide Extreme hot water loading system. Incorrect installation may invalidate the guarantee. The Rapide Extreme must be installed by a competent installer in accordance with Building Regulation G3 (England and Wales), Technical Standard P3 (Scotland) or Building Regulation P5 (Northern Ireland).
  • Page 10 INS TAL LA TI O N INSTALLATION The Rapide Extreme can be fed directly from the mains cold water supply to the property without the need for seperate feed cisterns or vent pipes. It is supplied complete with all its necessary inlet and safety controls, thermal cut out and two port motorised valve in the mains unvented kit.
  • Page 11: Discharge Pipework Continued

    IN ST AL LA TION INSTALLATION The example below is for a G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 no. elbows and a length of 7.0m from the tundish to the point of discharge. From Table 1: Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief valve is 9.0m.
