Pipe connections
General
NOTE
Pipes and other cold surfaces must be insulated
with diffusion-proof material to prevent con-
densation. Where the cooling demand is high,
fan convectors with drip trays and drain connec-
tion are needed.
The brine circuit must be provided with a pressure expan-
sion vessel. If there is a level vessel this should be re-
placed.
Expansion vessel
The brine circuit must be supplied with a pressure expan-
sion vessel (membrane type). If there is already a level
vessel installed this should be replaced.
To prevent malfunctions, the pressure expansion vessel
should be dimensioned as set out in the diagram. The
pressure expansion vessel covers the temperature range
from -10 °C to +20 °C, at a pre-pressure of 0,5 bar, and
the safety valve’s opening pressure of 3 bar. The brine
side must normally be pressurised to between 1,0 and
1,5 bar.
