he effective water capacity of the running water system includes the total capacity of the water main, 
water tank, 2-way valve normally-open end which are involved in water circulation in the water system.   
T
he actual effective water capacity (V) of the running water system must be more than or equal to Vmin., 
otherwise the unit may be subject to frequent alarm or shutdown!

alculation example of water system capacity 
Assume that one wr system is paterovided with two sets of CA0070EANE units, and the preset return 
water  temperature is 12℃. The diameter of water main is DN65, and the total length of water inlet & 
outlet pipelines is 80m. Ten end fan coils are normally open. The internal capacity is 2L. 
Calculations:  Capacity of inlet & outlet water mains = 3.14 X {(65/2)/1000}

Water capacity of end fan coil = 10 X 2 = 20L 
The above table indicates that the required minimum capacity of the water system Vmin.=310L 
To avoid frequent startup, shutdown and alarm of the unit, the capacity of water tank must be more than 
or equal to Vmin.=310-265-20=25L

ype Selection of Auxiliary Electric Heater
A
ccording to engineering requirements, it is recommended that one set of auxiliary electric heater be 
used as standby system, which is started to keep water temperature of the unit in case of defrosting or 
temporary fault of such equipment. 
Considerations on type selection of auxiliary electric heater mainly include the minimum average outdoor 
ambient  temperature  in  winter  and  the  capacity  of  standby  system.  Based  upon  the  local  minimum 
average ambient temperature in winter  and the water  outlet temperature of the unit, the unit capacity 
attenuation  Q2  can  be  obtained  via  comparison  between  the  capacity  Q1  from  the  "Performance 
Correction Curves" and the nominal capacity Q of the unit. 
Q2 = Q - Q1 
The capacity of auxiliary electric heater generally selected, W 
W = a* Q2 = a*(Q - Q1)。 
In which, a refers to margin coefficient, taking between 1.0 and 1.5, and it is larger in northern area, e.g. 
taking 1.5 in Hubei province and its northern area.

n heating mode, the unit capacity may drop with the decreasing ambient temperature, thus users shall 
add  the  auxiliary  electric  heater  at  the  hot  water  side  for  the  areas  under  the  low  average  outdoor 
ambient temperature in winter, otherwise the unit performance may be affected.
