1 - Description
HSK 400 P+ Thermal Stores are intended for storing and subsequent distribution of thermal energy of heating water.
They are fitted with a stainless-steel tube DHW heat exchanger, permitting installation of electric heating elements and
connection of other heat sources. For better thermal stratification of heating water, the tank is divided by a separating
metal sheet.
1.1 - Models
One model of 408 litres total volume with stainless-steel tube DHW heat exchanger.
1.2 - Tank protectione
The thermal store has no inner surface finish, the outer surface is painted in gray. The DHW heat exchanger is made
of stainless steel.
1.3 - Thermal insulation
Thermal insulation is available as a separate item. For easier handling, the insulation shall not be fitted on the tank
until it reaches its definite place of installation. The insulation is 100 mm thick, with a hard polystyrene
surface. It is closed by quick locks.
1.4 - Packaging
Thermal stores are delivered standing, each screwed to its pallet, packed in bubble wrap.
It is forbidden to transport and/or store the thermal stores in a horizontal position.
2 - General Information
This Owners Manual is an integral and important part of the product and must be handed over to the User. Read
carefully the instructions in this Manual as they contain important information concerning safety, installation, operation
and maintenance. Keep this Manual for later reference. The appliance shall be installed by a qualified person
according to valid rules and Manufacturer‘s Instructions.
This appliance is designed to accumulate thermal energy and distribute it subsequently. It must be connected to a
heating system and heat sources. This appliance is designed for continuous DHW heating.
Using the thermal store for other purposes than above described is forbidden and the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for damage caused by improper or wrong use or filling procedure.
The appliance shall be installed by a qualified person according to valid rules, otherwise the warranty becomes null
and void.

4 - Operation
This tank is designed to accumulate thermal energy for heating. Heating water transfers the accumulated heat to
DHW via an integrated heat exchanger. Hot water is therefore heated in a continuous manner.

6 - Installation and Commissioning
Installation must meet valid rules and may be done only by qualified staff.
Defects caused by improper installation, use or handling are not covered by warranty.
After the tank is installed and connected to an existing heating system, it is recommended to clean the entire heating
system using a suitable cleaning agent, e.g. BP 400.
Anti-corrosion protective liquid should be also used, e.g. BP 100 Plus.
6.1 - Connection to heat sources
Place the tank on the floor, as close to your heat source (heat pump, boiler) as possible. Fit the insulation, cf. Installing
Insulation on the tank. Connect the heating circuits to inlets and outlets respecting the thermal stratification in the tank.
Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the tank. Install an air vent valve at the highest point of the system. Insulate all
the connection piping.
6.2 - Installation of an el. heating element
The thermal store can be equipped with el. heating elements. They can be power-supplied either directly (thermostat-
-equipped elements), or via a controller for the entire heating system.
Warning: Electric heating elements shall be protected by a safety thermostat.
The electric heating element shall be wired by a professionally qualified person only.
6.3 - Connection to water mains
DHW piping shall be done according to valid rules. Connections to the tank, including placing the components, is shown
in the diagrams of the recommended connection in Chap. 5. Installation of a pressure reducing valve on the immersed
tank inlet is recommended. For water mains pressure above 6 bar a pressure reducing valve is necessary. To prevent
water loss, we recommend installing an expansion vessel at the cold water inlet with a minimum volume of 4% of the
total volume of water in the DHW piping, including heat exchangers, circulation pipes, etc. (usually 8 l). Should the water
be too hard, install a water softener before the tank. In case the water contains mechanical impurities, install a strainer.
6.4 - Commissioning
Ground the tank before commissioning.
The tank shall be filled up together with the heating system, respecting valid standards and rules. In order to minimize
corrosion, special additives for heating systems should be used. The quality of heating water depends on the quality of
filling water at commissioning, on the top-up water and on the frequency of topping up. This has a strong influence on the
lifetime of heating systems. Poor quality of heating water may cause problems like corrosion or incrustation, esp. on heat
transfer surfaces.
Quality of DHW shall meet the conditions shown in the Table of limit values for total dissolved solids in hot
water on this page.
Fill the heating circuits with the appropriate fluids and air-bleed the entire system. Check all connections for leaks
and verify the system pressure. Set the heating controller in compliance with the documentation and manufacturer’s
recommendations. Check regularly the proper function of all control and adjustment elements.

7 - Installing Insulation on the Tank
Product description
Thermal insulation is a part of thermal stores, preventing heat loss. For easier handling, the insulation shall not be
fitted on the tank until it reaches its definite place of installation.
Warning
Insulation installation shall be done in two or three persons, depending on its size.
Do not use any tools for installation.
Keep away from open fire.
Installing Insulation
1. Fix the tank following installation instructions.
2. Wrap the insulation around the tank carefully. Check that the insulation adheres to its body perfectly. This can be
reached by rubbing and patting the insulation by hand from its center evenly in both directions until the insulation
adheres to the tank’s surface completely and no bubbles are left.
3. Use the holes for connections as a rest during the insulation installation.
4. At least one person presses the insulation to the tank, pulling both ends together. The other person closes
the insulation lock from the side.
5. Put on the upper insulation and cover
6. Push on the covering plastic rosettes depending on the size of connections.
7. Finish the tank installation in compliance with the respective instructions and valid standards and rules.
Warranty on insulation
□ Warranty shall become null and void if:
○ the procedure described in the Installation Manual was not respected,
○ the product was used for other purposes than intended.
□ Warranty does not cover:
○ usual wear and tear,
○ damage caused by fire, water, electricity or a natural disaster,
○ defects caused by failure to use the product in compliance with its intended purpose, by improper use and
insufficient maintenance,
○ defects caused by mechanical damage to the product,
○ defects caused by tampering or incompetent repair.
