Principle of operation
ELK 213 is an immersion heater intended for heating
systems and indirect heating of domestic hot water. The
immersion heater consists of a pressure vessel for an
operational pressure of a maximum of 3.0 bar (300 kPa).
Volume of 7 litres. The pressure vessel is made of construc-
tion steel 1 and is type approved by the National Swedish
Institute for Testing. The immersion heater is approved by
Semko according to protection class IP21.
The riser and return connections have male R50 threads.
When installing on double jacketed water heater type SPIS
(installation option 3, page 6), use the threaded flange.
Use the appropriate reduction sleeves for the other op-
tions. Flanges are available as accessories.
If necessary, the drain cock can be installed in the threaded
connection (R20 female) at the lower edge of the heater.
This connection can also be used a circulation connection.
The connection is equipped with a plug upon delivery.
Thermostat for immersion heater and isolator switch is op-
erated by knob on the front of the control panel.
The power can be selected in intervals, 13 – 11 – 9 –
7 kW, which eliminates unnecessary over dimensioning.
The immersion heater is connected to 9 kW upon delivery.
