Hydraulic Installation
2.9.1
Open vase plant safety devices
According to standard UNI 10412-2 (2006) in force in Italy, systems with open expansion vases must
be fitted with:
•
Open expansion vase
•
Safety pipe
•
Loading pipe
•
Circulator control thermostat (except for natural circulation systems)
•
Circulation system (except for natural circulation systems)
•
Acoustic alarm activation device
•
Acoustic alarm
•
Temperature indicator
•
Pressure indicator
•
Automatic thermal blocking switch (blocking thermostat)
2.9.2
Closed vase plant safety devices
According to standard UNI 10412-2 (2006) in force in Italy, systems with close expansion vases must
be fitted with:
•
Safety valve
•
Circulator control thermostat
•
Acoustic alarm activation thermostat
•
Acoustic alarm
•
Temperature indicator
•
Pressure indicator
•
Automatic thermal regulation switch
•
Automatic thermal blocking switch (blocking thermostat)
•
Circulation system
•
Expansion system
•
Safety dissipation system built into the generator with thermal discharge valve (automatic),
if the device is not fitted with a self-adjusting temperature system.
Automatic loading domestic heating devices must be fitted with a fuel blocking thermostat or with a
cooling circuit provided by the device's manufacturer, activated by a thermal safety valve that guarantees
that the top temperature established by the standard is not exceeded. The connection between the feed
unit and the valve must be without any cut-offs. The pressure upstream of the cooling circuit must be
at least 1.5 bar.
