With the aid of the calculated demand factor N = 33.2, the tables in the
relevant datasheets enable the selection of the required DHW cylinder
at the available heating water flow temperature (z. B. 80 ºC) and a
cylinder storage temperature of 60 ºC:
For this, select a DHW cylinder with an N
L
factor at least equal to the
calculated demand factor N.
Note
The performance factor N
L
varies subject to the following variables:
■ Flow temperature
■ Storage temperature
■ Available or transferable output
For deviating operating conditions, modify the performance factor N
L
from the values shown in the tables in the relevant datasheets.
Possible DHW cylinders:
■ From selection diagram from page 10 and the Vitocell 300-H data-
sheet:
Vitocell 300-H with 700 l capacity (N
L
= 35) as cylinder bank com-
prising 2 × Vitocell 300-H, each with 350 l capacity
■ From selection diagram from page 10 and the Vitocell 300-V data-
sheet:
Vitocell 300-V with 600 l capacity (N
L
= 38) as cylinder bank com-
prising 2 × Vitocell 300-V, each with 300 l capacity
Selected DHW cylinder:
2 × Vitocell 300-V, each with 300 l capacity.
Boiler supplement Z
K
According to DIN 4708-2 and VDI 3815, the rated heating output of a
boiler must be increased by the boiler supplement Z
K
to cover the DHW
heating demand (see table 6).
Observe the explanations in DIN/VDI [or local regulations].
DIN 4708 specifies three main demands for the rated heating out-
put of the heat source:
Demand 1
The performance factor must be at least equal to or greater than the
demand factor:
N
L
≥ N
Demand 2
Only if the rated boiler heating output
²
K
or Φ
K
is higher or at least
equal to the continuous output can the DHW cylinder deliver the per-
formance factor N
L
stated by the manufacturer:

Demand 3
Heat generating systems used for both DHW and central heating must
cover the additional output Z

as the standard heat load Φ

DIN 4701):

On the basis of DIN 4708-2, VDI 3815 is used for calculating a sup-
plement to the rated boiler heating output as a function of the demand
factor N and a minimum cylinder capacity (see table 6).
It has proved successful in practice to take the boiler supplement into
account according to the following relations:

Note
In buildings with an extremely low heat load Φ
HL buil.
, a check must be
carried out to determine whether the output of the heat source, includ-
ing supplement Z
K
, is sufficient for the selected performance factor. It
may be necessary to select a larger DHW cylinder.
