Function description
Overpressure pressure relief valve
With an overpressure of up to max. 4.5 bar (produced e.g.
when the boiler heats up), the FrostControl opens auto-
matically and releases the overpressure in fits and starts via
a drainage socket.
Manual drain valve
The drain valve can be opened manually to empty the water.
Frost monitor
If there is a risk of frost (ambient temperature approx. 3 °C),
the FrostControl opens automatically and drains out the water
in the boiler via a drainage socket.
Only at an ambient temperature of approx. 7 °C can the
drain valve be closed again manually and the boiler be
filled.
To guarantee perfect operation, the safety/drain valve
must be installed in a heated room. If this is not done,
malfunctions can occur and the drain valve opens automati-
cally during operation.
