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
leading to the heating elements
and to the unit itself as well as all
water-carrying valves, fittings
and lines (even the 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!

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 HPS 500 and
MPS 800/1000 hot water tanks consists of
a 100 mm thick layer of silver-grey flexible
foam.
All storage tanks are produced from
high-quality steel acc. to DIN EN
10025/10111, and are provided with an
anti-rust coating on the outside.
Immersion heater elements can be
screwed into the in-built 6/4" socket in
the storage tanks.
For retrofitting a fin-tube heat
exchanger a D240 blank flange cover is
included.
The storage tanks have 9 (11 for the
MPS 1000) 6/4" IG connection threads
as well as inflow restrictors.
To enable to use of sensor/thermometer
immersion sleeves, the unit incorporates
four 1/2" socket screw threads.
