10. THERMAL QUANTITY BALANCE (CALCULATION)
The regulator performs the accumulated energy calculation only if the Solar
Circulating Pump is working: the value is then displayed through the para-
meter BIL in the History menu, see section on Service Menu.
ATTENTION: This function depends on the value of parameter P15 Thermal
Quantity Balance (Installer parameter, default value equal to
0=Off) which must be set to 1.
NON-MODULATING CIRCULATING PUMP (WITHOUT FLOWMETER)
The value of the following parameters must be correctly set:
- P16 Solar circuit max. fl ow rate (l/min)
- P18 Antifreeze liquid protection rating (%)
- P23 Solar circulating pump operation (0=On/Off).
Accumulated energy (kWh) =
Value P16 * 60 x (deltaT: S3 – S4) x 1,163 x ((100-Value P18)/100) / 1000
MODULATING CIRCULATING PUMP (WITH FLOWMETER)
The value of the following parameters must be correctly set:
- P18 Antifreeze liquid protection rating (%)
- P23 Solar Circulating Pump operation (1 = Modulating)
- P25 Flowmeter type selection.
Accumulated energy (kWh) =
Value measured by Flowmeter *60 x (delta T:S3-S4) x 1,163 x ((100-va-
lueP18)/100)/1000
NOTE
The regulator performs the instantaneous calculation every second and
updates the value of parameter BIL every time the accumulated energy
increases by 1kW.
In case of a power failure, the Regulator does not lose the accumulated
energy calculation: the data is saved once every 10 minutes, therefore when
the power is restored and the Solar Circulating Pump restarts, the calculation
can begin again without loss of data.
