4 Domestic Hot Water System Design
• Copper tubing or plastic Hep
2
0 may be used for the domestic
hot water system. Unnecessary pressure losses should be
avoided.
• A flow restrictor limiting the flow through the boiler to a
maximum of 16 l/min is fitted to the boiler.
• The boiler will operate with a minimum supply pressure of 0,7
bar, but under reduced flow rate.
Best operating comfort will be obtained from a supply pressure
of 1 bar.
4.1 Hard Water Areas
In areas where the water is 'hard', more than 200mg/litre, it is
recommended that a proprietary scale reducer is fitted in the
cold water supply to the boiler.
A pressure reducing valve for the cold water inlet supply is
provided, this is packed inside the boiler. This valve is a
necessary part of the unvented system and MUST be fitted to
the cold water supply, see diagram 8.1.
4.2 Domestic hot water drain point
The DHW drain point is located below the DHW pump, see
diagram 4.1.
