Page 47
4 Working with the master Risk of injury from hot water and components! Danger of burning and scalding during thermal disinfection! Make sure not to touch the components of the hot water circulation and the drain water during thermal disinfection. Please note that the components and the drained water require some time to cool down after the rinsing process.
Page 48
4 Working with the master Process sequence for cold water (Range = cold) If the cold water becomes warmer than T hydr. balanc. (here: 25 °C), then the process starts and opens the valve. The resulting cold water circulation lowers the temperature.
4 Working with the master 4.4.3.2 Type = Temperature static The process is started daily at a specific Start time. The start time must be selected in such a way that the process of static hydraulic balancing takes place at a time when no water is with- drawn, i.e.
Page 50
4 Working with the master Process sequence for hot water (Range = hot) At the set Start time the first valve regulates its flow to the set T hydr. balanc., in the shown example to 57 °C. Then the second valve regulates its flow, followed by the other valves, and finally the process is repeated until all valves reach T hydr.
4 Working with the master Process sequence for cold water (Range = cold) At the set Start time the first valve regulates its flow to the set T hydr. balanc., in the shown example to 15 °C. Then the second valve regulates its flow, followed by the other valves, and finally the pro- cess is repeated until the 4 hours have passed.
Page 52
4 Working with the master Process sequence First the respective valve must be selected under Flow rate. At the start of the Start time process, the opening angle (leakage rate) of each individual valve is set. During this, the valves sequentially adjust based on the flexible average flow of the past 24 hours and the set target valve Flow rate.
4 Working with the master 4.4.3.4 Type = Fixed In this type, the opening angle set for the valve (leakage rate) is not changed. There are also no parameters to be adjusted. The system permanently maintains the opening angel set for each valve, for details of the setting see Leakage rate (>Settings >Valves).
