INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFICATIONS

Tank-in-Tank system
Tank-in-Tank is a heat exchanger with a built-in accumulator, made up of two concentric tanks: the inner tank contains domestic water to be reheated (secondary) and the outer tank contains the heating fluid (primary) which circulates between the two tanks and transfers its heat to the domestic water.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Operating cycle
The thermostat is triggered and starts up the pump which loads the heating fluid. This fluid circulates around the inside tank and heats up the domestic water. When the required temperature is reached, the thermostat stops the loading pump.

FRANCAIS

Hot water exchanger accumulator

The inner tank is the heart of the tank: it is subject to the aggressiveness of the supply water, to high pressures and to variations in temperature. This tank is made of solid chromenickel stainless steel (stainless steel 304 or duplex), fully welded under argon protection using the Tungsten Inert Gas (T.I.G.) technique. Before assembly, the convex bottoms are pickled and passivated in order to improve the tanks lifespan and in particular its resistance to corrosion. The shell is corrugated all the way up using an exclusive manufacturing process. This design gives considerable resistance to pressure and limits the adherence of lime scale by allowing the tank to expand and contract.

DOMESTIC HOT WATER CONNECTIONS

8 1 3 9 1 10

The installation of a domestic safety unit is compulsory. In order to avoid water dropping on the tank, the domestic safety unit should not be placed directely above the tank. The third domestic water outlet can be used as a return from the domestic hot water circulation loop.

ESPAOL

Mains water kits could be in some countries due to approval regulations.

Recommendations
The pipe feeding the tank with cold water must be fitted with a safety unit comprising at least the following: - An isolating valve [1] - a non-return valve [3] - a safety valve [4]: (set to < 10 bar) - a sanitary expansion vessel of appropriate dimensions. When the operating pressure exceeds 6 bar a pressure reducer [2] must be installed before the safety unit. Union fittings are recommended for easy removal of the connections. Ideally the dielectric version is preferable in order to protect the connections against corrosion in the presence of dissimilar metals such as copper and galvanised steel. The installation of an expansion vessel avoids safety valve runoff (loss of water). Domestic hot water expansion vessel capacity: 18 Litres: for the following models: 24 Litres: for the following models: 35 Litres: for the following models: 320 420 600 / 800

COMMISSIONING

CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE START-UP

Before pressurising the central heating tank (primary) you should first pressurise the domestic hot water tank (secondary). Both the domestic hot water tank and the central heating tank must be filled before using the tank. Safety valves (domestic hot water) and (central heating) correctly installed and discharge connected to the drains. Domestic hot water tank and primary circuit filled with water. Air bleed correctly carried out on both circuits. Air valve sealed. Both hot and cold water pipes correctly connected to the tanks hot water circuit. Heating feed and return correctly connected to the tank. The electrical cabling is correct. The tanks thermostat is set according to the instructions shown in Setting the thermostat. Connections checked and free of leaks.

FRANCAIS

FILLING THE TANK Domestic hot water tank

1. Close the drain cock [6] of the DHW circuit. 2. Open the isolating valve [1] of the DHW circuit for the filling. 3. Bleed the air in the circuit by turning on a nearby hot water tap [10] Fill the tank until the flow rate stabilises. 4. Turn off the hot water tap [10].

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

8 1 3 9 1 10

Factory settings
The thermostat of the tank is factory preset to the minimum recommended by the standards, over a range of settings from 60 to 90C. To increase the temperature: turn the button clockwise. To reduce the temperature: turn the button anticlockwise. When adjusting the tanks thermostat, make sure that the boiler temperature is set to a value at last 10C higher than tanks thermostat.

Recommendations

ESPAOL

Central heating tank

1. Close the drain cock [4] on the tanks primary circuit. 2. Open the isolation valves [5] on the central heating circuit connected to the boiler. 3. Bleed the air in the circuit by opening the air vent located on the upper part of the tank. 4. Follow the instructions supplied with the boiler for filling. 5. When the tank is full and the air has been removed, the bleed valve should be closed.

There is a risk that bacteria including Legionella pneumophila may develop if a minimum temperature of 60C is not maintained both in storage and in the hot water distribution network. There is a risk of scalding from hot water! ACV recommends the use of a thermostatic mixing valve set to provide water at 60 C or less.

The water heated to wash clothes, dishes and for other purposes can burn and cause serious injury. Children, the elderly, the sick or the disabled are the most at risk from burns due to very hot water. Never leave them on their own in a bath or under the shower. Never allow young children to turn on hot water taps or fill their own baths. Set the water temperature appropriately according to the intended use and plumbing codes.

Ensure that the bleed valve is properly sealed. 6. If any antifreeze is needed in the primary circuit it must be compatible with Public hygiene rules and not be toxic. A food-type Propylene Glycol is recommended. Consult the manufacturer to ensure that the antifreeze is compatible with the tanks construction materials.

When repeatedly drawing small amounts of hot water, a stratification effect may develop in the tank. The upper layer of hot water may then reach very high temperatures. A thermostatic mixing valve will stop water at excessivly high temperatures reaching the outlets.

DEUTSCH

Never use car antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze. This can cause serious injury, death or damage to the premises.

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC CHECKS BY THE USER

Check the pressure of the boilers pressure gauge: it should be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar. Carry out a monthly visual inspection of the valves, connections and accessories in order to detect any leaks or malfunctions. Periodically check the air valve located on the upper part of the tank to make sure that it is not leaking. If you notice anything unusual, contact a technician or your heating engineer.

Domestic hot water tank

To empty the domestic hot water tank: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Switch off the electrical power supply to the tank. Close the isolation valve [1]. Open the drain cock [6] and the air vent [7]. Allow the water to flow out into the drain. After emptying, return the valves to their initial positions.

In order to allow emptying, the drain valve [6] must be located at the lowest point on the tank.

ANNUAL SERVICE
The annual service, carried out by a technician, must include the following: Checking the air valve: The air bleed can lead to water being added to the system. Check the pressure on the boilers pressure gauge. Manually activate the domestic hot water safety valve once a year. This operation will lead to a discharge of hot water.
2 1 8 1 3 9 1 10

1 3 3 4 5 1 1 7

Before drawing any hot water through the safety unit, make sure that the discharge goes directly to the drain in order to avoid any risk of burning or damage. The discharge pipe should be open to the atmosphere. If the safety unit occasionally drips this may be due to an expansion problem or to clogging of the valve. Follow the circulators maintenance instructions. Check that the valves, cocks, controllers and any electrical accessories installed are working properly (see the manufacturers instructions if necessary) .

Central heating tank

To empty off the primary circuit:

Recommendations
Empty the tank if it is to be switched off during the winter and there is a risk of frost conditions exposure. If the central heating water (primary circuit) contains any antifreeze, only the domestic hot water should be drained. Before draining off the domestic hot water, insulate the tank to reduce the central heating pressure (primary circuit) to 1 bar, in order to protect the tank against a risk of collapsing. If the central heating circuit does not contain any antifreeze, both the central heating and hot water circuits should be drained.

Switch off the electrical power supply to the tank. Close the shut-off valves [5] on the primary circuit. Connect a hose to the drain valve [4]. Open the drain valve [4] and drain the hot water off. To speed up the process, open the air vent located on the upper part of the tank. 6. When the emptying is finished, close the drain cock again then screw the air valve up again.
