5.5 CONNECTING THE EXPANSION
VESSEL AND PRE-COOLING VESSEL
5.5.1 INSTALLING THE PRE-COOLING VESSEL
(AVAILABLE AS ACCESSORY)
A pre-cooling vessel is required:
• If the system is to be used to assist the central heating
system.
• If the system is purely for DHW heating: the solar
fraction is more than 60 %.
The pre-cooling vessel protects the expansion vessel
from excessively high temperatures.
CONNECTING THE PRE-COOLING VESSEL
If the pipeline to the expansion vessel needs to be laid
on a rising incline, an additional air vent must be
installed.
B To protect the safety valve from excessive
temperatures: connect the pre-cooling and expansion
vessels with a tee (¾ " threaded outer with flange
gasket) in the return line 20 to 30 cm above the solar
heating station.
B Secure pipes to and from the pre-cooling vessel with
pipe clamps (4). Mount the pre-cooling vessel
vertically.
B Connect the expansion vessel (5) to the pre-cooling
vessel by means of a copper pipe.
B Seal the connection on the safety valve with a ¾ " cap
(2) (to be provided by the customer).
