Operating mode 6 – Discharge control to heat generator
System hydraulics:
This hydraulic layout is used when an alternative-energy buffer tank is added to an
existing system. In such systems there are often existing unit boilers with integrated
DHW tank and DHW loading.
All heat requests are sent to the heat generator.
When the buffer tank can cover the energy demand, the heat generator nominal
temperature is maintained by the buffer, via BULP (PLP), instead of the burner.
In this way the heat generator always operates at its nominal temperature and can
not be exposed to excessive buffer temperatures.
See the table below for detailed correlations.
