Fig. 6: Schematics of a storage tank system
The controller begins charging the storage tank when the water temperature measured at
storage tank sensor 1 falls below the 'DHW temperature set point' by 0.1°C. If the ow tem-
perature in the system exceeds the desired charging temperature, the controller tries to re-
duce the ow temperature in the heating circuit for up to three minutes before the storage
tank charging pump is activated. When there is no heating operation or when the ow tem-
perature in the system is lower, the storage tank charging pump is switched on immediately.
If the function CO4>F15 - 1 (SLP ON depending on return ow temperature) is activated,
the primary valve is opened without simultaneously operating the storage tank charging
pump. The storage tank charging pump is rst switched on when the primary return ow
temperature has reached the temperature currently measured at storage tank sensor 1. This
function enables storage tank charging when the heating system is switched off, e.g. in sum-
mer mode, without cooling down the storage tank rst by lling it with cold ow water. The
storage tank charging pump does not start operation before a sufciently high temperature
has been reached at the heat exchanger.
Note:
The 'DHW temperature set point' is to be regarded in relation to the charging tem-
perature if a storage tank thermostat is used.
