maincontractororoperatoroftheoperationsroomorthesiteinquestion.
Ifnorequirementsarespecied,tooperatetheautomatnoPPEisrequired.Minimumrequirementsarewell-ttingclothingand
sturdy,closedandskidprooffootwear.
Otherservicesrequiretheprotectiveclothingandequipmentnecessaryfortheactivityinquestion(e.g.transportandassembly:
rugged,close-ttingworkclothing,footprotectors[safetyshoeswithtoecaps],headprotection[safetyhelmet],handprotectors
[protectivegloves];maintenance,repairandoverhaul:rugged,close-ttingworkclothing,footprotectors,handprotectors,eye/
faceprotector[safetygoggles]).
4.12 Exceeding permitted pressure / temperature levels
Equipmentusedincombinationwiththeexpansionautomatmustguaranteethatthepermittedoperatingtemperatureandthe
permittedmediumtemperature(heattransfermedium)cannotbeexceeded.Excesspressureandtemperaturemayleadto
componentoverload,irreparabledamagetocomponents,lossoffunctionand,asaresult,toseverepersonalinjuryanddamage
toproperty.Regularchecks/inspectionsofthesesafeguardsmustbecarriedout.Servicelogsmustbekept.
4.13 System water
Waterwhichisnon-ammable,doesnotcontainsolidsorlong-brecomponentsanddoesnotpresentadangertooperations
duetoitscontents,andwillnotaffectordamagethewaterbearingcomponents(e.g.:pressurisedcomponents,thediaphragm,
vesselconnection)oftheexpansionautomat.Alsoobserve:VDI2035-avoidanceofdamagetowarmwaterheatingequipment.
Systemwatercontainingcomponentsarepipelines,hosesconnectedtothevessel,devicesandsystemconnectionsincluding
valvesandttings,andtheircasings,sensors,pumps,thevesselitselfandthevesseldiaphragm.Operationwithimpropermedia
canleadtoimpairedfunction,damagetocomponentsand,asaconsequence,toseriouspersonalinjuryanddamage.
4.14 Safeguards
Theequipmentsuppliedisequippedwiththerequiredsafetydevices.Totesttheireffectivenessorrestoretheset-upconditions,
theequipmentmustrstbetakenoutofservice.Takingthesystemoutofserviceimpliesthatpowershouldbecutandhydraulic
connectionsblocked,topreventaccidentalorunintentionalre-connection.
Mechanical hazards:
Thefancoveronthepumpprotectsusersfrompersonalinjurycausedbymovingparts.Beforeswitchingtheuniton,makesure

4.18 Maintenance and repairs
Theseservicesmayonlybecarriedoutwhenthesystemisshutdownoriftheexpansionautomatisnotrequired.The
pressurisationequipmentmustbetakenoutofserviceandguardedagainstunintentionalre-startinguntilthemaintenance
workisnished.Notethatthesafetycircuitsanddatatransmissionsmadewhilstshuttingdowncouldtriggerthesafetychain
orleadtofalseinformation.Existinginstructionsfortheheatingorcoolingunitasawholemustbeobserved.Tostophydraulic
components,blocktherelevantsectionsanddrainthemusingthesafesystemwaterdrainsthroughtheavailabledrain
connections,andrelievethepressure.
Caution:Themaximumsystemwatertemperatureinconductingcomponents(vessel,pumps,casings,hoses,pipelines,
peripheralequipment)mayreach70°Cand,inthecaseofimproperoperation,mayexceedthat.Thispresentsadangerofburns
and/orscalding.
Themaximumpressureofsystemwaterinconductingcomponentsmaybeequaltothemaximumsetpressurefortheapplicable

1. Cold
Theautomatcontainsasmall
amount of water. The automat
is still at rest.
5. Topping-up
Ifthewaterlevelinthevesseldrops
toacriticallevel,anappropriate
amountofwaterwillbecarefully
pumped into the system from the
water mains. This water will be
de-aerated(bypressurelossand
thePALLrings),beforeentering
thevessel.
3. Full power
Bystoringanincreasingamount
ofwaterinthetank,theautomat
keepsthesystempressurealmost
constant.Whenthesystemhas
warmedupcompletely,thevessel
willbealmostfulltocapacity.
2. Warming up
Thevolumeofwaterandthe
systempressureincreases.The
unit responds to this by opening
thesolenoidvalve.Waterowsinto
thepressurelessvessel.Thewater
inthevesselisde-aerateddueto
both the drop in pressure and the
presenceofthePALLrings.
4. Cooling down
Thevolumeofwater
and the system pressure
decreases.Thede-aerated
water is pumped from
thepressurelessvessel
backintothesystem.
This restores the system
pressure.

6. Assembly
6.1 Setup
A/B C (Flamcomat starter)
• Fittheautomaticvent(suppliedseparately).
• Removethetransportsealbythevolumesensoroncethebasicvesselhasbeensetupintheproposedplaceandnofurther
positionalchangesarenecessary.Avoidimpactonthesensorandmakesurethesensorisonasurfacewhichdoesnotimpair
thefunctionofthesensorpressure-pad.
• Installationoftheweight-capacitysensorandtheadjustablefeet.
• Usingthefoot-heightadjuster,adjustthevesseluntilitisvertical.Usetwoverticalmagneticspiritlevels.
• Ensurethatnoexternaladditionalforcescanbeexertedonthebasicvessel(e.g.toolslaidonthevessel,thingsleaningonthe
sides).
• Donotxthebasicvesseltothegroundonwhichitiserected(donotuseanysortoffasteningwhichcanadverselyaffectthe
vessel,e.g.sinkingthefeetintoconcreteorlime,weldingofthevesseloritsfeet,clampsandtiesonthebodyofthestructure
orappurtenances).
• Placethecontrolmodule,thebasicvesselandtheauxiliaryvesselatthesameheight.
6.2 Vessel connection
Thevesselconnectionisproducedasanelectricorhydraulicconnectiontothepumpmodule.Fortheinstallationdiagram
andexampleinstallationseeappendix1.Pleaseobservethefollowingpointspriortollingandcommissioningofthepressure
expansionvessels:
• Installtheconnectionassemblybetweenthevesselandthecontrolmodule.
Caution:Ensurethattheconnectionbetweenthepumpmoduleandthebasicvesselismadewiththesuppliedexiblepressure
hoses(connectionassembly).

Takenoteofthelabels‘pump’and‘valve’ontheconnectionsand
connectuptheappropriateconnectionfromthepumpmodule
(valve)tothepump(valve)onthevesselconnection.
Donotcrosstheseconnectionsand,ifnecessary,mountthe
vesselconnectionangesoastoenableparallelpipetting.Use
theatsealssupplied.
• Connectthesignallineviathequick-releaseconnectiontothecapacitysensor.Screwthisconnectionentirelyintothe
connector(protectionclassIP67).
• Openthelockshieldvalveontheconnectionassemblybetweenthevessel(basicvessel,intermediatevessel)andcontrolmodule.
6.3 Top-up connection
Thetop-upconnectionshouldbeconnectedtothecontrolunit.Assuredtop-uprequiresanaveragesetfeedpressureof
approx.4-6bar(max.8bar).Highfeedpressuresmayrequiredevicestopreventwaterhammer(pressurereducingvalve).
Appendix 1 shows the installation diagram and example installation.
Pleaseobservethefollowingspecicationsbeforellingandcommissioningthepressure-expansionautomat:
• Installthefeedtothetop-uphosewithshut-offvalve(asdelivered).
• Avoidanytensileloadsonthehose,bendingradiioflessthan50mmandcontractions.
• Ifthetop-upfeedisconnectedtothewatermain,abackowpreventerwithltermustbeconnectedinseriesincompliance
withEN806-4/EN1717.Installthisaccessoryhorizontallyandtashut-offvalvebeforethisassembly(note:cleanlter
regularlyandchangeltersasandwhenrequired).
Caution:Connecttheshut-offvalvetothetop-upintake.
6.4 Drain connection
Tosafelyroutethevolumeowstobedischargedatthesafetyvalve(Pos.3.16),backowpreventer(accessory,top-up)andthe
atmosphericpressurecompensationconnection(Pos.1.3)adrainisrequiredinthevicinityoftheFlamcomatequipment.
• Installadrainfunneland,ifnecessary,adrainpipeforthebackowpreventer.
• Whenadischargepipeisconnectedtothesafetyvalve,theconnectionmustbekeptopentoatmosphericpressure.An
atmosphericfunnelfromtheFlamcoproductcataloguecanbettedforthispurpose.
6.5 System connection
Thesystemconnectionshouldbeconnectedtotheheatingorcoolingsystem.
Appendix 1 shows the installation diagram and example installation.
Pleaseobservethefollowingspecicationsbeforellingandcommissioningthepressure-expansionautomat:
• Theconnectionshouldpreferablybemadeinthereturnlineoftheheatingsystem.Pleasenotethatatemperatureatthe
systemconnection>70°C(...80°C)wouldexceedthepermissiblepump/diaphragmloadandpossiblyleadtodamage
tocomponents.(Completeinsulationoftheexpansionpipemayincreasethetemperatureloadonthecontrolunitandthe
diaphragm).
• Makesurethatthisconnectionisdirectlyconnectedtotheheatgenerator,andthattherearenoexternalhydraulicpressure
inuencespresentatthepointofentrainment(e.g.hydraulicbalancers,distributors).
• Theowdetermineshowyoushouldinstalltheexpansionlines.Whenttingexpansionlinestothereturn>5minlength,use
pipesofatleastonenominaldiameterlargerthanthatofthepumpmodule.Avoidadditionalloadstothesystemconnectionof
thecontrolunit(e.g.fromheatexpansion,owoscillations,deadweights).
• Equipmentwithowtemperatures>100°Cmusthaveaminimumpressurelimiterttedintheexpansionline(systemdrain,
valvedrainpipework).ThearrangementiscontainedinAppendix1.InapplicationsinaccordancewithDINEN12828:2003(D),
thislimiterisonlyenvisagedforuseifthepressureholdingdevicedoesnothaveanautomatictop-upsystem.
