Design Of The Hydraulic System - Rotex RKHBRD011ABV1 Manuel D'installation

Simultaneous operation of the auxiliary boiler and the
RKHBRD* unit is NOT allowed.
Pay special attention to the control of the circulation
pump of the auxiliary boiler. This pump should not
operate simultaneously with the RKHBRD* unit.
A simultaneous operation of both systems will risk the
plate heat exchanger of the RKHBRD* unit to freeze-
up!

Design of the hydraulic system

When designing the hydraulic system, always consult "Typical
application examples" on page 2 for references.
When designing the hydraulic system always consider the available
external static pressure of the RKHBRD* unit.

Maximum external static pressure if ΔT = 10°C
Maximum external static pressure if ΔT = 5°C
The pump will adjust its rpm (rotations per minute) as to control a
fixed ΔT between return and leaving water temperature.

NOTE When replacing an old gas or fuel oil boiler by a air to
water heat pump system (RKHBRD*):
■
please always check the specifications of the
pump of the old unit;
■
if the external static pressure of that pump is
higher than the external static pressure of the air
to water heat pump system, please install an
additional pump with higher external static
pressure in combination with a balancing bottle.
