Design Information General information for installation room (boiler room) Ventilation of the boiler room Ventilation air for the boiler room should be taken from and expelled directly outside, and the openings and air ducts should be designed to prevent weather conditions (foliage, snowdrifts, etc.) from obstructing the air flow.
If the pressure is too high, air is released by means of a solenoid valve. The systems are built solely with closed-diaphragm expansion tanks to prevent the damaging introduction of oxygen into the heating water. Installation Instructions PT4e 120-180 | M2270020_en...
Design Information Return temperature control Pump-controlled pressure maintenance A pump-controlled pressure maintenance unit essentially consists of a pressure- maintenance pump, relief valve and an unpressurised receiving tank. The valve releases hot water into the receiving tank if the pressure is too high. If the pressure drops below a preset value, the pump draws water from the receiving tank and feeds it back into the heating system.
The diameter of the measuring probe used by Froling customer service is 14 mm. To avoid measuring errors due to the ingress of false air, the diameter of the measuring port must not exceed 21 mm. Installation Instructions PT4e 120-180 | M2270020_en...
