4. FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE
4.1 Mode of operation
General principle of reverse osmosis
Osmosis is a natural process, it is understood as the one-sided diffusion of a liquid (here the feed water) through a semi-
permeable membrane. A semi-permeable membrane is only permeable for certain substances.
As the liquid moves through a semi-permeable membrane, the pressure on the side with the lower concentration
decreases and at the same time the pressure of the more concentrated solution increases until a balance is reached,
stopping the water flow. Pressure difference between the two liquids is called“osmotic pressure”.
Reverse osmosis, on the other hand, is a technical process in which the natural process is reversed. It involves applying
a pressure higher than the osmotic pressure to the concentrated liquid so that the water flows in the opposite direction
through the semi-permeable membrane and thus separates the salts solved in the water.
Using this principle, water can be demineralized for drinking water as well as for process and industrial applications.
4.2 Inuencing factors
The performance of the reverse osmosis membrane depends strongly on the following parameters:
Water inlet pressure at the membrane:
– By lowering the working pressure, a reduction in permeate production can be achieved.
– By increasing the working pressure, an increase in permeate production is also achieved.
– The pump pressure can be changed by turning the screw on the pump (see chapter 8.4).
– Be careful not to exceed the maximum pump pressure!
Salt content of the feed water:
The higher the salt content, the faster the membrane wear.
Temperature of the feed water:
The ROL unit is set up for a feed water temperature of 15°C. Any difference from this temperature will affect the
production quantity and the quality of the permeate.
The following table shows the variation of the permeate production quantity by 3% per differing 1°C.
Temperature 15 °C + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8
Correction factor 1 1,03 1,06 1,09 1,12 1,15 1,18 1,21 1,25
Temperature 15 °C - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8
Correction factor 1 0,96 0,92 0,88 0,84 0,8 0,77 0,74 0,7
The colder the feed water, the lower the permeate production and the better/lower the conductivity.
The warmer the feed water, the higher the production quantity, but the lower the permeate quality.
4.3 Operating conditions of the unit
The ROL system can be fed with water from the normal water supply if the water has a maximum hardness up to 50°fH.
In order to avoid a reduction of the operating capacity, the water to be treated must comply with certain parameters:
turbidity < 1 NTU
Iron < 0,15 ppm
Manganese < 0,05 ppm
Aluminium < 0,05 ppm
SDI (Silt Density Index) < 3
Water temperature 5 to 25 °C
Free chlorine < 0.25 ppm
Hardness < 50 °fH
COD < 10 mg/l
TOC < 3 mg/l
TDS < 1000μS/cm
SiO2 < 15 ppm
conductivity < 1000 ppm
Notice: Ensure that the water is pre-treated by using a softener or an antiscalant.

4.3.1 Recovery value
You can optimise the permeate production by adjusting the flow rates (Ref. 1). The basis for this is the respective
recovery value of the plant (see technical data). If the recovery value is 68%, this means a permeate production quantity
of 68% of the feed water used for this purpose. The difference to 100% shows the concentrate share.
You can optimise permeate output by adjusting the flow rates (Ref. 1). The basis for this is the relevant recovery value of
the system (see technical data). For example, the recovery value for the ROL320 is 68% at a raw water temperature of 18
°C and a TDS value of 500 ppm.
The recovery value is calculated as follows: RECOVERY (%) = Permeate 100
(Permeate + Concentrate)
Regulate the flow rate of the concentrate through the BV03* valve and read it off the FI03* flow meter. The circulation
is controlled by the BV02* valve and read off at the FI02* flow meter. The pressure regulated in this way on the
membranes guarantees the spe- cified production output.
The feed water temperature clearly influen- ces both productivity and the quality of the permeate. If the temperature
rises (even by only a few degrees), productivity increases (which results in a better recovery value); however,
conductivity increases at the same time.

4.4 Operating sequence
The feed water (raw water) is pumped through the pre-filter, which guarantees the dechlorination and a final filter
capacity of 5 µm. This ensures the necessary clarity of the water at the membrane inlet. It is next softened by the
addition of an antiscalant. The feed water pressure must be at least 2 to 5 bar during normal operation to ensure a
correct supply pressure at the pump inlet.
The water then flows through the water inlet solenoid valve SV1 and is then directed by the pressure pump at high
pressure to the membrane(s).
The pressure switch PS HIGH provides a signal when the pressure exceeds 12 bar at the membrane inlet.
Pure water (permeate) passes through the membrane; the salts solved in the water are retained by the membrane and
drained off (concentrate).
The permeate now flows via the pure water line (scope of delivery) to the expansion ves- sel or directly to the consumer.
The quality of the permeate leaving the system is controlled by the conductivity sensor (EC PROBOUT).
The production process stops automatically when the water outlet pressure has reached approx. 4 bar at the pressure
switch PS MAX. The pressure in the following circuit is kept constant by the expansion vessel.
If the pressure in the following circuit at the pressure switch PS MIN falls below 2 bar (when the expansion vesel is
empty), the unit starts permeate production again.
If the inlet pressure falls below 0.8 bar, the pressure switch PS LOW gives the corre- sponding alarm and interrupts
operation.
The permeate production quantity achieved can be read off from the permeate flow rate display (Ref1). If this does not
correspond to the the specifications in the technical data, please note the measures mentioned in chapter 4.2.
Notice: The reverse osmosis (R.O.) units of the ROL series cannot operate without an expansion vessel or permeate
collecting tank.

5. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Caution: Risk of foot injuries!
Prevent unit from dropping during installation! Helping hand of a second person is advisable.
Caution: Risk of electrical shock!
Hazardous electrical voltage. During installation, the unit must be disconnected from power supply and secured against being switched on
again. The absence of voltage must be ensured by a measurement.
5.1 Environment Parameters to be met and Mounting
Recommendations
When selecting the installation site for the reverse osmosis unit, take the following into account:
• The minimum clearances indicated in the tting measures section must be observed in order to ensure adequate unit venti-
lation and allow for unob- structed access in case of maintenance
• Protection class IP20
• By design, HygroMatik reverse osmosis units are not qualied for outdoor installa- tion (electronic components and water-
bearing parts may be damaged)
• Ambient temperature must lie between
• +5 and +40 °C (+41 and +104 °F) in order to protect the unit electronics against damage; frost may damage the steam cylinder,
the solenoid valve and pump, as well as make hoses burst
• Avoid environments with excessive humidity, as it could have negative eects on the electronics.
• Installation in closed rooms requires aeration and, if necessary, temperature conditioning in order to meet the envi- ronmental
conditions.
• Make use of existing water connections for supply and draining.
• For proper functioning of the level con- trol, plumb and level installation of the unit is required.
• The optimal feed water pressure for the reverse osmosis units is in the range of 2 bar to 5 bar. If these values are not reached,
the installation of a pressure reducer or a booster pump is neces- sary.
• The on-site waste water connection must be a free outow according to DIN EN 1717.
• The installation room must be well ven- tilated and equipped with a oor drain. Alternatively, a water stop device (e.g. leakage
detector) can be used.
• Ensure that the system stands rmly.

5.2 Installation steps
5.2.1 Feed water connection
» Install a shut-off valve
» Connect the feed water inlet to the system. The diameter of the raw water pipe must be at least equal to the
diameter of the connection piece.
» Observe the information in the technical data.
ROL-160/-320 ROL-460 - 1200
5.2.2 Permeate pipe connection
» The diameter of the permeate pipe must be at least equal to the diame- ter of the connection piece.
» Connect the permeate pipe to the corresponding connection piece and then connect the pipe (not included
in the delivery) to the expansion tank or return pump tank.
» Note the information in the technical data.
ROL-160/-320 ROL-460 - 1200
Notice: Do never operate the unit with the permeate line closed!
5.2.3 Connection of the expansion vessel
» Mount the holder* of the expansion tank on a stable wall or ensure a secure stand on the floor.
» If necessary, connect the connection set to the expansion vessel.
» Install shut-off valves as shown in the following figure

Notice
• Install the reverse osmosis unit as close as possible to the consumer / humidifier. The maximum distance (4) is 15
metres (up to ROL600) 25 metres ( ROL1000/1200)
• The reverse osmosis unit (1) must be installed at the same height of the humidifier (3) and the expansion tank.
• The number of fittings in the pipe should be kept to a minimum. The use of angle joints, T-pieces and reducers
increases the pressure losses in the pipe. The diameters shown in the tables provide for a few fittings; if the number of
fittings is doubled, the pipe with the next larger diameter must be used.

5.2.4 Connection of the concentrate line
» Connect the concentrate pipe to the corresponding connector and con- nect the pipe (not included in the
delivery) to the drain.
» The diameter of the concentrate pipe must be at least equal to the diameter of the connection piece.
ROL-160/-320 ROL-460 - 1200
Notice: Ensure a free outlet and discharge according to DIN EN 1717. Pay attention to the mini- mum requirement
for the free flow distance (between the drain hose and the siphon) of 26 mm to prevent microbial contamination.
5.2.5 Inserting the prelter cartridge(s)
Before installing the filter set in the mem- brane container, it must be ensured that the feed water line is closed and thus
no pres- sure is applied.
» Make sure the water inlet valve is closed.
» Select menu item 14 SystemTest in the control system menu, control the water outlet valve manually and
release any possible rest pressure.
» Switch off the system ( press ESC for 2 seconds), then disconnect the system from the power supply (remove
the plug).
» Remove the filter housing using the installation key supplied.
» For maintenance: remove the old fil- ters and clean the filter housing.
» Install the new filter inserts in the correct position.
» Replace the filter housing and screw it tight with the mounting bowl.
» Open the water supply and vent the filters using the screw in the upper part of the membrane housing.
