Thisfunctioncannotbe usedinconjunctionwitha storagetankthermostat.
On all systems with heating up of drinking water the function block settingCO2 FB 5 = ON cau-
sesthestoragetanktobe charged at75°Cevery week on aselected dayat0000hrs.
The heat exchanger charging pump TLP is immediately switched on, regardless of the flow tem-
perature values which have been measured. If the charging temperature attains the current sto-
rage tank temperature at the storage tank sensor SF1 and if the master switchover is active
CO2 FB 3 = ON, then the controller switches over to the flow sensor in the storage tankcharging
loop, the storage tank charging pump SLP switches on and regulates a fixed value of 75 °C.
IfCO2FB 3isOFF,orsystem code number 2 is active, then the master switchover remainsinacti-
ve.
The circulation pump ZP is now switched off if in the configuration CO2 FB 4 OFF is set, i.e. ZP
doesnot runaccordingto time program duringstorage tankcharging.
If a temperature of 70 °C is attained at the storage tank sensor SF 1 or at the storage tank sensor
SF 2 (if two storage tank sensors are used), however at the latest at 0400 hrs, thermal disinfec-
tionis terminated(pumplagmayoccur).
If at the end of thermal disinfection, for instance due to reasons to do with hydraulics, the increa-
sed storage tank setpoint value is not attained, then the symbol ”operation error” willflash in the
display.
This warning is acknowledged manually by calling up the ”Error” level and confirming the error
message (error 02) with the enter key. This warning resets itself automatically when the increa-
sedstorage tanksetpointvalueis attainedduringalaterdisinfectionphase.
4.9 Return flow temperature limiting
In order to be able to operate a district heating system economically, it is necessary to extract as
much heat as possible from the heat conductor (water) coming from the heating supplier. The
temperature difference between network flow and return flow is an energy efficiency indicator.
Alarge differenceintemperatureindicatesahigh efficiency level, asmalldifference in tempera-
ture indicates a low efficiency level. With preset network flow temperatures a return flow sensor
issufficientforevaluating thedifference in temperature.
The function is as follows: Limiting of the return flow temperature can depend either on the out-
door temperature (floating) or be fixed. If the return flow temperature measured at the return
flow sensor RüF exceeds the value calculated as a result of the preset return flow characteristic or
the fixed limiting value by , say, 2 °C, then the respective calculated setpoint value or the fixed
setpoint value setting (return flow temperature heating, charging temperature) is reduced by 2
°C. In this way the primary flow will be reduced andthe return flow temperature will drop. In the
case of limiting, both the measured value display ”return flow temperature” as well as the set-
point value display (return flow temperature heating, charging temperature) will blink. The
functionis already activatedby thefunctionblock settingCOSYS FB 1=ON.

temperature limiting value (usually calculated from the return flow temperature limiting charac-

ter” (temperature adjustable at controller). In this way it is safe to run low return flow limiting
temperatures during the seasonal interim between summer and winter (or vice-versa) without
endangeringproper chargingof the storagetank.
