There is a pressure drop present on site (see technical data). If the pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. REMKO KPS, must be used as a hydraulic compensator. Then a REMKO heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and two mixed heating cycle groups, type HGM, are available.
