  • Page 11: Design Of The Storage Tank

    3.2 Design of the storage tank You can use the following table to calculate the approximate required volume of the buffer tank. Temperature in buffer tank [°C] HW temperature [°C] set on Reqd. Storage tank volume per controller litre of HW [Litre] Sample calculation for the design of the buffer tank: Temperature of buffer tank: 60 °C, required dispensing medium flow rate at water valve: 20 l/min DHW temperature set on the controller: 45 °C...
  • Page 12: Setting The Temperature

    REMKO EFS series 3.3 Setting the Temperature Set the required (maximum) domestic hot water temperature on the controller under "Main menu / hot water / target temperature". To ensure that scalding cannot occur at the water valve, the maximum hot water temperature must not exceed 60 °C.
  • Page 13: Corrosion Protection

    3.4 Corrosion protection To prevent corrosion damage to the plate heat exchanger, the following drinking water values must be observed: Copper soldered < 250 mg/l at 50°C < 100 mg/l at 75°C Chloride (CL-) < 10 mg/l at 90°C Sulphate <...
  • Page 14: Calcification Protection

    REMKO EFS series 3.5 Calcification protection The precipitation of chalk from the water increases massively at hot water temperatures above 55°C and a water hardness above 8.5°dH. For this reason, the hot water target temperature should be set as low as pos- sible while observing drinking water hygiene and, if necessary, the calcification should be reduced by using a softening or other suitable limescale treatment system.
  • Page 15: Assembly

    Assembly General notes NOTICE! To avoid damage to the system, the installation location must be dry, capable of carrying the load and frost-free. Wall installation Proceed as follows for wall mounting: Mark and drill two Ø 10 mm holes as shown in the illustration below Place expansion anchors Screw in the two upper screws with washer...

  • Page 18: Electrical Wiring

    REMKO EFS series Electrical wiring General notes Work on the electrical system and the opening of electrical enclosures may only be carried out in a de-energised state and only by authorised spe- cialist personnel. Ensure correct terminal assign- ment and polarity for the connections. Protect the controller and electrical components from over- voltage.
  • Page 19: Commissioning (Specialist)

    Commissioning (specialist) 7.1 Commissioning A prerequisite for commissioning is the complete installation of all hydraulic and electrical components. Leak test and filling of the system Check all components of the system, including all elements and stations pre-assembled at the factory, for leaks and seal them accordingly in the event of any leaks.
  • Page 20: Maximum Dispensing Medium Flow Rate

    REMKO EFS series 7.2 Maximum dispensing medium flow rate The following diagram shows the maximum dispensing medium flow rate depending on the storage tank temperature; this assumes a pre-set hot water temperature of 45 °C at the dispensing connection. The integrated regulation prevents the temperature from decreasing as long as the maximum medium flow rate is not exceeded.
  • Page 21 The following diagram shows the maximum dispensing medium flow rate if the hot water temperature is 45°C at the dispensing connection, after being mixed with cold water with a temperature of 10°C. The hot water temperature set on the controller is 60°C. Fig.

  • Page 25: Shutdown

    Shutdown If the fresh water station remains out of operation for a longer period of time, the power supply must be disconnected. If the fresh water station is permanently taken out of service, the power supply to all affected parts of the system must be disconnected and all affected pipes and parts of the system must be completely drained.
  • Page 26: Care And Maintenance

    REMKO EFS series Care and maintenance Care and maintenance The manufacturer recommends that annual main- tenance be carried out by authorised specialists. Cleaning the heat exchanger: If the water quality (e.g. high degree of hardness or heavy soiling) is likely to cause a build-up of deposits, cleaning must be carried out at regular intervals.
