▪ Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after installation, the
domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must
be repeated at least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during longer periods of
time there is no consumption of hot water, the equipment MUST be flushed with
fresh water before usage.

▪ Valve towards expansion vessel. The valve towards the expansion vessel (if
equipped) MUST be open.
The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation height difference
(H):
Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)
The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10 litre with a factory-set pre-pressure
of 1 bar.
To make sure that the unit operates properly:
▪ You MUST check the minimum and maximum water volume.
▪ You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.
Minimum water volume
For EHVH*, there are no requirements for the minimum water volume.
For EHVX*, check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum
10 litres.
INFORMATION
In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load, extra water might be
required.
