Commissioning Requirements ATTENTION Venting the rotary pump. It is essential that the rotary pump has been vented according to the manufacturer's informa- tion. To do so, the venting screw on the pump must remain open until brine comes out free of bubbles.
AL-KO HYDRO-OPT ® After the enable contact, an analogue request signal (0–10 V) is required on-site for operating the closed-cycle system. The heat recovery output can be controlled proportionally from 0–100 % via the signal. Thus the complete station behaves like a (albeit sluggish) heating valve with a continuous valve drive and can be easily integrated in the on-site control strategy.
