Transport

▶ Secure the buffer cylinder to prevent it falling during transport.
▶ Transport the tank ( Fig. 3, page 59).
5

Fitting

▶ Check that the buffer cylinder is complete and undamaged.
5.1

Installation location

NOTICE: System damage through inadequate load
bearing capacity of the supporting surface or unsuitable
substrate.
▶ Ensure that the installation area is level and offers
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
▶ Site the buffer cylinder on a plinth if there is a risk that water may
collect at the installation site.
▶ Site the buffer cylinder in dry internal areas that are free from the risk
of frost.
Only with P 200/5W, P 300/5W:
▶ Observe the minimum wall clearances inside the installation room
( Fig. 5, page 60).
5.2

Installing the buffer cylinder

▶ Stand the buffer cylinder upright and level it ( Fig. 6 to Fig. 7,
page 60).
▶ Remove the protective caps.
▶ Apply Teflon tape or Teflon string ( Fig. 8, page 60).

5.3

Hydraulic connection

DANGER: Risk of fire from soldering and welding.
▶ Take appropriate protective measures when
soldering and welding as the thermal insulation is
combustible (for example, cover the thermal
insulation).
CAUTION: Water damage resulting from open drain
(only P 200/5W, P 300/5W)!
▶ Connect the drain to the bottom cylinder connection
( Fig. 2, [3], page 59) prior to filling the cylinder.
▶ When sizing the heating system expansion vessel, take the cylinder
capacity into consideration.
CAUTION: Risk of damage to non heat-resistant
installation materials (e. g. plastic piping)!
▶ Use installation material which is heat resistant to
 80 °C.
▶ Install pipework runs so that natural circulation is prevented.
▶ Install all pipes free of stress.
▶ During filling, open the ventilation on the cylinder ( Fig. 2, [10],
page 59).
Only fill buffer cylinders with potable water.
The test pressure must not exceed 3 bar positive pressure.
▶ Carry out tightness test ( Fig. 14, page 62).

Installing temperature sensors

▶ Fit the temperature sensors ( Fig. 10 and 11, page 61).
Ensure that the sensor area has contact with the sensor
pocket area for the sensor's full length.
▶ Note sensor positions ( Fig. 2, [5] and [9], page 59).
▶ Observe heat pump or control unit installation instructions.
