KPS 300
Description
The storage tanks are employed for
the storage of hot water in all types of
warm water central heating systems
(solid fuel/oil-fired boilers, heat pumps,
solar energy systems, gas/electric
instantaneous water heaters) within
enclosed spaces and for the storage of
cold water for cooling processes or heat
recovery purposes.
The tank volume can be adapted to
your particular needs by connecting
several storage tanks to form batteries.
The storage tanks may be used
universally, either as parallel storage
(hydraulic switch) or series storage.
The insulation of the storage tank
is comprised of 50 mm directly
applied, CFC-free, fine-pore PU foam.
The external cladding applied at the
factory is comprised of a powder-coated
steel sheet cladding in the colour:
silvery-grey; the insulation of the KPS
300 is water vapour diffusion-tight.
All storage tanks are manufactured from
quality steel in accordance with DIN EN
10025/10111. An electric booster heater
(immersion heater) can be fitted into
each storage tank in a 6/4" socket.
For retrofitting a fin-tube heat
exchanger, a D180 (f=180mm) blank
flange cover is included.
The storage tanks have 4 connection
ports 5/4"AG. A sensor channel enables
variable positioning of a temperature
sensor.
Decommissioning
Temporary shutdown
1. Disconnect the electrical connection
at all poles.
2. Drain the tank in areas where it is at
risk from frost and before the
onset of winter.
3. Then also drain all cold water pipes
or hot water carrying lines leading
to the heating elements and
to the heater/cooler as well as
all water-carrying fittings and lines
(including heating circuit = register)
back as far as the frost-proof
section of the domestic water system
(domestic water connection).
!
ATTENTION
When emptying the tank, hot
water may escape!
!
ATTENTION
When placing the tank back into
service, ensure that it is filled with
water and that water which is free
of bubbles is escaping from the
valves!
Permanent decommissioning
Ensure that equipment and components
are disposed of in accordance with local
regulations, e.g. through authorised
disposal and recycling specialists or at
collection points.
