Checking the water volume and expansion vessel pre-
pressure
The unit is equipped with an expansion vessel of 10 litre which has a
default pre-pressure of 1 bar.
To assure proper operation of the unit, the pre-pressure of the
expansion vessel might need to be adjusted and the minimum and
maximum water volume must be checked.
1
Check that the total water volume in the installation, excluding
the internal water volume of the indoor unit, is 10 l minimum.
Refer to "Technical specifications" on page 29 to know the
internal water volume of the indoor unit.
In most applications this minimum water volume will have a
satisfying result.
In critical processes or in rooms with a high heat load
though, extra water volume might be required.
When circulation in each space heating loop is controlled
by remotely controlled valves, it is important that this
minimum water volume is kept even if all the valves are
closed.

Calculating the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel
The pre-pressure (Pg) to be set depends on the maximum
installation height difference (H) and is calculated as below:
Pg=(H/10+0.3) bar
Checking the maximum allowed water volume
To determine the maximum allowed water volume in the entire circuit,
proceed as follows:
1
Determine
for
the
calculated
corresponding maximum water volume using the graph below.
2
Check that the total water volume in the entire water circuit is
lower than this value.
If this is not the case, the expansion vessel inside the indoor unit is
too small for the installation.

Example 1
The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water
circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100 l.
In this example, no action or adjustment is required.
Example 2
The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit.
The total water volume in the water circuit is 350 l.
Result:
Since 350 l is higher than 280 l, the pre-pressure must be
decreased (see table above).
The required pre-pressure is:
Pg = (H/10 + 0.3) bar = (0/10 + 0.3) bar = 0.3 bar
The corresponding maximum water volume can be read from
the graph: approximately 410 l.
Since the total water volume (350 l) is below the maximum water
volume (410 l), the expansion vessel suffices for the installation.

Setting the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel

When it is required to change the default pre-pressure of the
expansion vessel (1 bar), keep in mind the following guidelines:
Use only dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-pressure.
Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel pre-pressure will
lead to malfunction of the system. Therefore, the pre-pressure
should only be adjusted by a licensed installer.
