NOTICE
▪ Make sure the auxiliary contact has enough differential
or time delay to prevent frequent changeover between
indoor unit and auxiliary boiler.
▪ If the auxiliary contact is an outdoor temperature
thermostat, install the thermostat in the shadow so that
it is NOT influenced or turned ON/OFF by direct
sunlight.
▪ Frequent changeover may cause corrosion of the
auxiliary boiler. Contact the manufacturer of the
auxiliary boiler for more information.
Setpoint of the auxiliary gas boiler
To prevent freeze-up of the water piping, the auxiliary gas boiler
must have a fixed setpoint ≥55°C, or a weather-dependent setpoint
≥T .

5.4.2 Selecting the volume and desired
temperature for the DHW tank
People experience water as hot when its temperature is 40°C.
Therefore, the DHW consumption is always expressed as equivalent
hot water volume at 40°C. However, you can set the DHW tank
temperature at a higher temperature (example: 53°C), which is then
mixed with cold water (example: 15°C).

Selecting the volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank

consists of:
1 Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water
volume at 40°C).
2 Determining the volume and desired temperature for the DHW
tank.
Determining the DHW consumption
Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption
(equivalent hot water volume at 40°C) using typical water volumes:

Question
How many showers are needed
per day?
How many baths are needed per
day?
How much water is needed at the
kitchen sink per day?
Are there any other domestic hot
water needs?
Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day
is as follows:
▪ 3 showers
▪ 1 bath
▪ 3 sink volumes
