  • Page 17: Functional Description

    Product description 3.3 Functional description The function of the desaliQ inline control module is based on the well-proven processes of filtration and softening or demineralisa- tion. The desaliQ inline control module is integrated into the filled heat- ing or cooling circuit in the partial flow. Part of the circulation wa- ter permanently flows through the desaliQ inline control module.
  • Page 18 In combination with the desaliQ inline filter module, undissolved impurities such as rust and dirt particles are filtered from the heat- ing water. Demineralisation In combination with the desaliQ resin bags, the heating water is fully demineralised. Softening In combination with the softening cartridge decaliQ, the heating water is softened according to the ion exchange principle.
