THERMA V Split Type
Hydro Box Unit
7.2 Water Volume and Expansion Vessel Pressure
Expansion vessel inside Hydro Box Unit is included which is 8 liter capacity with 1 bar pre-pressure. That means,
according to the volume-pressure graph, total water volume of 230 liter is supported as default. If total water volume
is changed because of installation condition, the pre-pressure should be adjusted to secure proper operation.
• Minimum total water volume is 20 liter.
• Pre-pressure is adjusted by the total water volume. If the indoor unit is located at the highestposition of the water
circuit, adjustment is not required.
• To adjust pre-pressure, use nitrogen gas by certificated installer.
Adjusting pre-pressure of expansion vessel
• Step 1. Refer "Volume-Height" table.
H : difference between indoor unit and the highest water pipe
V : total water volume of installation scene
If installation scene is belong to Case A, go to Step 2.
Otherwise, if it is Case B, do nothing. (pre-pressure adjustment is not required.)
Otherwise, if it is Case C, go to Step 3.
• Step 2. Adjust pre-pressure by following equation.
Pre-pressure [bar] = (0.1xH+0.3) [bar]where H : difference between indoor unit and the highest water pipe0.3
: minimum water pressure to secure product operation
• Step 3. Volume of expansion vessel is less than installation scene.
Please install additional expansion vessel at the external water circuit.
