Improper action
Requirements for minimising scale and corrosion dam-
age in hot water heating systems:
● Proper planning, design and commissioning
● Corrosion-resistant system
● Integration of an adequately dimensioned device
for maintaining pressure
● Use of demineralised heating water or VDI 2035
equivalent water
● Regular servicing and maintenance
If a system is not planned, designed, started up and
operated in accordance with these requirements,
there is a risk that the following damage and malfunc-
tions will occur:
● Malfunctions and failure of components, e.g.
pumps, valves
● Internal and external leaks, e.g. from heat ex-
changers
● Restrictions and blockages in components, e.g.
heat exchanger, pipes, pumps
● Material fatigue
● Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation (cavita-
tion)
● Impaired heat transfer caused by formation of
coatings, deposits etc., and associated noises,
e.g. boiling noises, ow noises
► Observe the information in this operating manual
for all work on and with the unit.
Impact of low-quality lling and top-up water
in the heating circuit
The quality of the heating water is crucial for the e-
ciency of the system and the service life of the heat
generator and the heating components.
If the system is lled with untreated drinking water, cal-
cium deposits form as limescale on the heat transfer
surfaces of the heating system. This reduces the unit’s
eciency and increases energy costs. In extreme cas-
es, this will damage the heat exchangers.
► Only ll the system with demineralised heating
water or with VDI 2035 equivalent water (for low-
salt operation of the system).
Unsuitable quality of the water-antifreeze
mixture in the heat source
IMPORTANT
Use of pure water in a at-plate collector or a
borehole heat exchanger (vertical collector) is
not permitted
.
► For operation of the heat source with a water-
antifreeze mixture, ensure that the water used
fulls the quality specications of the heating
water side.
