Glossary
In this Basic Documentation, the following key terms are used:
Term Explanation
Heat converter Heat exchanger that, on the primary side, is con-
nected to the district heat network and that, on the
secondary side, delivers the hot water to a com-
mon flow. The flow then supplies the hot water to
several consumers that are controlled by zone
controllers, etc.
Heat exchanger Heat exchanger that delivers the heat directly to
the consumers (e.g. space heating, d.h.w. heat-
ing, etc.).
Term Explanation
Storage tank charging pump Pump that supplies tap water via the heat ex-
changer into the storage tank where it is made
available as d.h.w.
Intermediate circuit pump Pump that supplies water as a heat carrier. The
water transfers its heat via a coil or storage tank
to the d.h.w. without getting in direct contact with
it.
Term Explanation
Coil type storage tank
2383S33
Instantaneous d.h.w. heating (via
heat exchanger)
2383S34
Stratification storage tank
2383S35
Storage tanks Common term used for coil type and stratification
storage tanks.
Heat source, heat
generation
Pumps
D.h.w. heating

HVAC Products 1 Summary 27.05.2004
1 Summary
1.1 Brief description and key features
• The RVD240 is a multifunctional heating controller for controlling the flow tempera-
ture of 2 heating circuits and for controlling d.h.w. heating
• The controller’s field of use covers exclusively plants with district heat connections. It
has been designed specifically for small to medium-size residential and non-
residential buildings with 2 heating circuits
• The RVD240 has 4 heating circuit types and 11 d.h.w. plant types preprogrammed.
By combining the different plants, it is possible to configure 14 plant types. The con-
figuration activates all functions and settings required for the respective type of plant
• In terms of control, the RVD240 is designed as a flow temperature controller. Control
can be effected in one of 5 different ways:
− Only weather-compensated control of the heating circuit flow temperatures
− Weather- and room-compensated control of the heating circuit flow temperatures
− Only room-compensated control of the heating circuit flow temperatures
− Demand-dependent control of the common heating circuit flow temperature
• In terms of d.h.w. control, the RVD240 is designed for the following types of applica-
tions:
− D.h.w. heating with coil type storage tanks
− D.h.w. heating with stratification storage tanks
− Direct d.h.w. heating via heat exchanger
− Common or separate heat exchangers for the heating circuit and d.h.w. heating
− Two-stage separation of the d.h.w. from district heating
• The RVD240 is suited for the control of 2-port and 3-port valves and pumps, includ-
ing variable speed pumps
• For the direct adjustment of the nominal room temperature setpoint, there is a setting
knob available. All the other parameters are set digitally based on the operating line
principle
• Key design features: Operating voltage AC 230 V, CE conformity, overall dimensions
to DIN 43700 (96 × 144 mm)
1.2 Type summary
The RVD240 is a compact controller and requires no accessories such as inserts, plug-
in modules, etc. The controller is supplied complete with base.
1.3 Equipment combinations
1.3.1 Suitable sensors
• For the flow temperatures:
Suitable are all types of temperature sensors that use a sensing element LG-
Ni 1000. The following types are presently available:
− Strap-on temperature sensor QAD22
− Immersion temperature sensors QAE2...
For the control of the d.h.w. flow temperature (B3), it is also possible to use commer-
cially available sensors with Pt 500 sensing elements
• For the return temperatures:
The following types of temperature sensors are presently available:
− Strap-on temperature sensor QAD22
− Immersion temperature sensors QAE2...

Siemens Building Technologies Basic documentation RVD240 CE1P2384en
HVAC Products 1 Summary 27.05.2004
For the control of the primary return temperatures (B7, B71, B72), it is also possible to
use commercially available sensors with Pt 500 sensing elements.
• For the outside temperature:

3 Fundamentals
3.1 Key technical features
The RVD240 offers 2 key technical features:
• The controller has 14 different plant types preprogrammed.
Subsection 3.1.2 shows the relevant plant diagrams.
• The settings are assigned to different setting levels each of which contains a number
of function blocks with the relevant settings

For each function block, the required settings are available in the form of operating
lines. On the following pages, a description of the individual functions per block and
line is given.
3.1.2 Plant types
The RVD240 has 14 plant types preprogrammed; the functions required for each type
of plant are ready assigned. When commissioning the installation, the relevant plant
type must be selected.
Each plant type is comprised of 2 heating circuits and 1 d.h.w. circuit. When making
use of all possible or practical combinations, the above mentioned total of 14 plant
types are available.
With the number of preprogrammed plant types available, practically all types of heat-
ing plants with district heat connection and own d.h.w. heating can be handled and
controlled.
Elements shown in broken lines (sensors B7 and B71, circulating pump and flow
switch) are optional components.
