Transport; Assembly; Installation; Requirements For Installation Location - Bosch W 300-5 P Series Installation And Maintenance Instructions For The Contractor

Transport

4 Transport
▶ Secure the DHW cylinder during transportation to prevent it from
falling.
▶ Move packed DHW cylinder with a sack truck and lashing strap
( Fig. 4, page 57).
-or-
▶ Move unpacked DHW cylinder with a transport net; during handling,
protect connections against possible damage.
5

Assembly

The DHW cylinder is delivered fully assembled.
▶ Check that the DHW cylinder is complete and undamaged.
5.1

Installation

5.1.1

Requirements for installation location

NOTICE: Risk of damage from inadequate load-bearing
capacity of the installation surface or unsuitable floor
surface!
▶ Ensure that the installation surface is level and offers
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
▶ Place the DHW cylinder on a plinth if there is a risk of water collecting
at the installation location.
▶ The installation site must be a dry and frost-free room.
▶ Observe minimum room height ( Tab. 4 page 26) and minimum
wall clearances at installation location ( Fig. 6, page 57).
5.1.2

Positioning the DHW cylinder

▶ Stand the DHW cylinder upright and level it ( Fig. 6 to Fig. 8,
page 58).
▶ Remove protective caps ( Fig. 9, page 58).
▶ Apply Teflon tape or Teflon string ( Fig. 10, page 58).
5.2

Hydraulic connections

WARNING: Risk of fire from soldering and welding!
▶ Take appropriate safety measures when soldering
and welding as the thermal insulation is flammable.
For example, cover up the thermal insulation.
▶ Check cylinder jacket for damage after completing
work.
WARNING: Risk of injury from contaminated water!
Work carried out without due care for cleanliness
contaminates the potable water.
▶ Install and equip the DHW cylinder hygienically in
accordance with national standards and guidelines.

5.2.1

Connecting the DHW cylinder on the water side

System schematics with all recommended valves ( Fig. 11, page 59).
▶ Use installation material that is heat-resistant to 160 °C (320 °F).
▶ Never use open, vented expansion vessels.
▶ Use metal connection fittings in potable water heating systems with
plastic lines.
▶ Size the drain line in accordance with the connection.
▶ To facilitate debris removal, never install elbows in the drain line.
▶ Keep primary lines as short as possible and insulate them.
▶ If using a non-return valve in the cold water supply: Install a pressure
relief valve between the non-return valve and cold water inlet.
▶ Install a pressure reducer if the static system pressure is in excess of
5 bar.
▶ Seal all unused connections.
5.2.2

Install a pressure relief valve (provided by the customer)

▶ Install a type-tested pressure relief valve on site that is approved for
potable water (DN 20) in the cold water supply ( Fig. 11,
page 59).
▶ Observe the pressure relief valve installation instructions.
▶ Terminate the discharge pipe where it will be easily visible in the
frost-proof area via a dewatering point.
– The discharge pipe must be at least equal to the outlet cross-
section of the pressure relief valve.
– The discharge pipe must be able to discharge at least the flow rate
that is feasible at the cold water inlet ( Tab. 4, page 26).
▶ Attach a notice with the following text to the pressure relief valve:
"Never close the discharge pipe. During heating, water may be
discharged for operational reasons."
If the static system pressure exceeds 80 % of the pressure relief valve
excess pressure:
▶ Install a pressure reducer upstream ( Fig. 11, page 59).

5.3

Installing the hot water temperature sensor

Install the hot water temperature sensor at the test point [7] to measure
and monitor the DHW temperature in the DHW cylinder
( Fig. 3 page 56).
▶ Install the hot water temperature sensor ( Fig. 12, page 59).
Ensure that the sensor surface has contact with the sensor pocket
surface over its full length.
5.4

Immersion heater (accessory)

▶ Install the immersion heater in accordance with the separate
installation instructions.
▶ When installation of the cylinder is complete, inspect the ground
conductor (including metal connection fittings).
