General Temperature relief valves are made by Caleffi S.p.A. in compliance with the essential safety requirements laid down by Directive 97/23/CE of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for harmonisation of member States with regard to pressurised equipment.

Function Temperature relief valves are used in heating systems with the function of discharging water from the system when the calibrated limit temperature is reached. These valves are positive action (fail-safe) devices, i.e. they will operate even in the case of failure of the sensor element.

References to I.S.P.E.S.L. standards According to the provisions of section R 1982 Edition, technical specification for application of chapter II of D.M. 1/12/75, regarding hot water systems (fluid temperature <100C), the installation of temperature relief valves is required in the following cases: Open vented systems - Heating systems having safety vent pipework which, for practical reasons, has an adverse slope. In this case, the heat discharge valve must be sized for the full output of the boiler (R.3.A. point 1.14). - Systems with boilers fed with non-pulverized solid fuel, replacing the emergency heat exchanger (R.3.C. point 1). Sealed systems - Heating systems where the required correlation between temperature increase and pressure rise does not exist (R.3.B. point 3.5). - Heating systems with circulating pumps with no flow switch (R.3.B. point 5.4). - Heating systems with a working pressure greater than 5 bar or of capacity greater than 300.000 kcal/h, replacing the second overheat thermostat (R.3.B. points 6.1 and 7.1). - Water heaters with water supply temperatures above 100C (R.3.E. point 1).

Operating principle A temperature-sensitive element directly immersed in the fluid of the system acts on the valve actuator. On reaching the calibrated limit temperature value, the valve opens and discharges water from the system. The movement of the actuator in turn operates an electric switch which can be used to shut off the fuel supply to the burner or to activate the top-up reset device. The position of the actuator and the consequent flow rate through the valve vary with the temperature of the fluid. When the limiting reclosing temperature is reached, the valve automatically closes. The valve also features fail-safe operation; i.e. the discharge opens in the event of damage of the temperature-sensitive element.

Operating characteristics The values below represent the average results obtained in the certification test and are shown on the conformity certificates issued by the I.S.P.E.S.L.: - calibration temperature at which the valve starts to open: - discharge temperature at which the nominal discharge flow rate is achieved: - reclosing temperature at which the valve re-closes in the temperature reduction phase: - emergency intervention temperature at which the valve starts to open if the thermostatic element is damaged fail-safe action: - discharge flow rate given by the graph, attached to each valve, based on the equation Gv= kv pn where: Gv kv p is the flow rate in l/h of water at temperature t1, discharged by the valve; is the nominal characteristic flow rate of the valve, of value: (the lower of that measured in normal operation and that measured in fail-safe action, when p = 1 bar); is the difference between the pressures upstream and downstream of the valve. When top-up reset is used, p is taken as the hydrostatic pressure at the point where the valve is installed, whilst otherwise, p takes the conventional set value of 0,5 bar; is the exponent of the variable p of value:

1 1/2 x 1 1/4 to= 98C t1= 104C t2= 95C

1 1/2 x 1 1/2 to= 99C t1= 99C t2= 96C

tE= 99C

- heat capacity P without top-up reset:

Sizing With top-up reset When total top-up of the water discharged by the valve is provided for, the valve must discharge, at working pressure, a flow of water: Gv Gr i.e. (Gv=Kv pn) (Gr=P/80) [l/h] Where Gr is the required flow rate and P [Kcal/h] the rated output of the boiler. Without top-up reset When top-up resetting of the water discharged by the valve is not provided for, the valve must discharge, at a pressure of 0,5 bar, a flow of water: Gv Gr i.e. (Gv=Kv0,5n) (Gr=P/25) [l/h] Where Gr is the required flow rate and P [Kcal/h] the rated output of the boiler. The discharge flow rate can also be calculated by using the graph shown alongside. The discharge flow rates without top-up reset are shown in red. Certification CE mark The series 542 temperature relief valves meets the requirements of Directive 97/23/CE for pressurised equipment (also referred to as the PED). They are therefore classified in category IV and granted the CE mark. In addition, the electrical components meet the requirements of Directive 73/23/CE. I.S.P.E.S.L. mark The series 542 temperature relief valves is a component which is also I.S.P.E.S.L. approved. Devices of this type are covered by the following types of document: The approval certificate is the document issued by the I.S.P.E.S.L. which confirms the positive result of the tests carried out on the prototype sample and consequently certifies that the series in question has been approved. The document is valid for five years. Every item of the series covered by the certificate, which is manufactured during the five years validity period, is approved for an indefinite period. The bench calibration report is the document confirming the testing of each individual device included in the approved series. The test is carried out in the presence of an I.S.P.E.S.L. inspector who draws up the report after the test has been passed. The document gives the serial number of the valve, which is also to be found on the plate fixed to the valve body. There is only one copy of the report and it is therefore vital for it to be kept with the valve.

Discharge pipework As the temperature relief valve is designed to discharge, in relation to the pressures involved, considerable flows of water, the discharge pipework must be as short as possible, and of diameter not less than that of the outlet of the valve itself. The discharge pipework from the temperature relief valve must be fitted in such a way as not to prevent the correct operation of the valve and not to cause damage or injury. In accordance with current legislation, the outlet of the temperature relief valve must be visible and connected to a suitable drain pipework.

Auxiliary micro-switch The temperature relief valve has a micro-switch with changeover contact which is activated after the discharge has opened. This can be used, for example, to shut off the burner or to control the top-up reset device. After the micro-switch has been activated, it must be reset manually by means of the pushbutton on the upper cover.

Electrical connections 1. solenoid valve on the fuel supply; 2. burner; 3. motorised valve for supplying top-up water (optional); 4. audible alarm (optional, not mandatory); 5. visual alarm (alternative to the audible alarm).

Function The anti-pollution check valve is a hydraulic protective device capable of preventing the backflow of polluted water into the public water system. This may occur due to changes in pressure in the distribution network that cause water to flow backwards. The check valve, which is fitted between the public and the user system in water distribution systems, prevents any contact between the water in the two systems, as it closes automatically whenever backflow conditions occur. The 3045 and 3046 series of anti-pollution check valves are certified as being compliant with the performance specifications set out in European standard EN 13959.

Backflow Drinking water supplied by the public network may suffer from hazardous pollution caused mainly by contaminated fluids from plumbing systems flowing back directly into the public network. This phenomenon, called backflow, occurs when: a) the pressure in the public network is lower than that in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply (back siphoning). This situation may occur when a pipe is broken in the public system or when other consumer demand on the public network is very heavy. b) the pressure in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply rises (back pressure) due, for example, to water being pumped from a well.

Application of the EA type anti-pollution check valve with reference to European standard EN 1717 and EN 13959 Proper use of the EA type anti-pollution check valve is regulated by the new European standards relating to the prevention of pollution caused by backflow. The reference standard is EN 1717: 2000 Protection against pollution of drinking water in hydraulic systems and general requirements for the devices used to prevent pollution caused by backflow. In this standard, the water in the systems is classified according to the level of risk it represents for human health. Category 1: Water suitable for human consumption supplied by the water supplier. Category 2: Fluid that does not represent a health hazard, as in number 1, the quality of which has been compromised due to changes in temperature, taste, smell or appearance. Category 3: Fluid that represents a slight health risk due to the presence of one or more harmful substances. Category 4: Fluid that represents a health hazard due to the presence of one or more toxic or highly toxic substances, or one or more radioactive, mutagenic or carcinogenic substances. Category 5: Fluid that represents a severe health hazard due to the presence of microbiological or viral elements. According to this classification, suitable backflow prevention devices must be fitted in water distribution plant systems. EA type anti-pollution check valves can be used to offer protection against the risk of water contamination up to category 2. For category 3 water, it is necessary to use a CA type backflow preventer. The table below, called the Protection matrix, associates the various types of system with the relative fluid categories and has been created based on the indications provided in the European regulations. The new European standard EN 13959 Anti-pollution check valves from DN 6 to DN 250. Family E, type A, B, C and D. defines the functional, dimensional and mechanical requirements of antipollution check valves. Protection matrix Type of system

Risk assessment Given the potential dangers of the phenomenon and the requirements of current regulations, the risk of pollution caused by backflow must be assessed on the basis of the type of system and the characteristics of the fluid that flows inside it. A suitable backflow prevention device must be selected on the basis of the assessment performed by the system designer and the public network supplier. The device must be located along the supply line at the points at risk of backflow which would be hazardous to human health. The protection can be provided by fitting a check valve at critical points in the circuit, at the inlet from the public network or in the internal plumbing system. This will prevent the backflow of polluted water in all systems for which direct connection to the public or an internal network is considered hazardous.

Operating principle The anti-pollution check valve consists of a valve body (1), a check valve (2) and, if necessary, one or more inspection points (3) for operation checking and system draining procedures. The check valve (2) borders two different zones: one upstream or at the inlet (A) and one downstream or at the outlet (B). Correct conditions of flow In correct flow conditions, the check valve (2) opens automatically when the pressure in the flow direction upstream (A) is greater than the downstream value (B).

Construction details Hydraulic seal devices When the flow stops, the check valve rests on a lip-shaped EPDM seal (1) which guarantees water-tightness, even in the absence of counter pressure.

A 2

In the event of strong counter pressure, the obturator (2) alters the shape of the seal and rests on the actual end point. This solution guarantees optimal device durability.

UPSTREAM
NORMAL OPERATION

DOWNSTREAM

No flow conditions The check valve (2) closes in advance under the action of the force exerted by the spring when the pressure downstream (B) tends to equal the value upstream (A), after the flow has stopped.

Elastomers complying with food regulations The elastomers used for the hydraulic seals have been approved by the Certifying Authorities in accordance with the most recent provisions regarding compatibility for use with drinking water. Versions with captive nut These versions are specifically designed for installation downstream of the water meter. The captive nut should be mounted directly over the meter body.

The double check valve may be used, where permitted by current local legislation, as an alternative to the backflow preventer, whenever the water distribution mains has low inlet pressure.

Before installing the check valve it will be necessary to clean the piping with a high-capacity jet of water. Poor cleaning of the system can easily impair the operation of the device. Inspection and operation checking procedure The inspection and operation checking procedures should be carried out at least once a year. 1) Check whether the installation standards still require the application of the same device for the type of fluid used in the system. 2) Make sure that the hazard level of the fluid inside the system has not altered over time. 3) Check that there are no leaks or areas of corrosion or deterioration. 4) Perform the check valve seal operation checking procedure; when the water mains system pressure (and therefore the pressure upstream of the check valve) drops, the valve should close and prevent the water in the system from flowing back into the mains supply: a. in order to maintain the system pressure in the absence of flow, close all the shut-off valves downstream of the valve and the inspection points for the same check valve. b. close the shut-off valve upstream (1) and open the inspection point (A) of the check valve. The flow should stop after the part of piping, which has been cut off, is emptied. c. if this is not the case, check the seal of the shut-off valve upstream (1) and, if the flow through the inspection point (A) continues, replace the check valve. d. the inspection point (B) (where present) may be used to empty the system.

Function Balancing valves are hydraulic devices that can precisely regulate the flow rate of the fluid that supplies a systems emitters. Hydraulic circuits must be correctly balanced to ensure that the system operates at the design conditions and provides a high level of heat comfort with low energy consumption. In the 131 series threaded valves, the flow rate is measured by a Venturi device that is incorporated into the body of the valve. This device guarantees accurate setting as well as ease of use during calibration.

Advantages of balanced systems A balanced system provides the following main benefits: 1. Allows the system emitters to perform correctly to heat, cool and dehumidify without wasting energy and ensuring greater comfort. 2. Permits the electropumps to work in the best efficiency zone with less risk of overheating and premature wear. 3. Reduces fluid velocities that may lead to noise and abrasion. 4. Limits the value of the differential pressures acting on the regulating valves, thus preventing malfunctions.

Operating principle A balancing valve is a hydraulic device that regulates the flow rate rate of the fluid passing through it. The flow rate is regulated by means of a knob that controls the movement of a disc that allows the passage of the fluid. The flow rate is controlled according to the p value measured by two pressure connectors located on the valve.

131 series construction details


Venturi flow rate measurement device The 131 series 1/2 - 2 valves are equipped with a flow rate measurement device based on the Venturi effect. The device is incorporated in the body of the valve upstream of the valve disc, as shown in the figure below. Rectification baffles The 131 series valves are equipped with special rectification baffles located immediately downstream of the disc. These devices reduce the turbulence of the fluid caused by the restriction of the disc and rectify the fluid flow characteristics more quickly. As a result, the Venturi device can make more accurate measurements and the noise caused by the turbulence of the flow is reduced. In addition, because the fluid flow is rectified more quickly, the valves can be installed with a minimum amount of straight sections of piping downstream of the valves.

Venturi device

This system provides the following benefits: 1. Allows greater precision in measuring and regulating the flow rate. Balancing valve pressure tappings are traditionally located upstream and downstream of the valve disc. This means that when the valve is closed at less than 50% of the total opening, the turbulence created downstream of the disc causes the pressure signal to become unstable, which in turn leads to significant measurement errors. This phenomenon is more apparent in medium- to small-sized 1/2 - 2 valves. Rectification baffles

Adapting the valve size to the piping dimensions Balancing valves are often selected based on the diameter of the line piping in which they are to be installed rather than on the design flow rates that need to pass through them. This means that the valves are often oversized with respect to the flow rates, which in turn means that they need to be very restricted during balancing to ensure the design flow rate. To avoid this problem, the 131 series valves have been designed so that their hydraulic properties correspond to those of a valve with smaller connections than the piping (for example, the hydraulic properties of a 1 valve correspond to those of a valve with a 3/4 internal diameter).

Fast-coupling pressure tappings The valves are equipped with fast-coupling pressure tappings that allow for quick, precise measurements. When the measuring syringe is withdrawn, the tapping automatically closes and thus prevents water from leaking.

Safety cap 2. Permits the measurement process and manual balancing of the circuit to be performed more quickly. In fact, the flow rate is now a function of the p only, which is measured upstream and downstream of the fixed orifice of the Venturi device located upstream of the disc and no longer across the entire valve. In practical terms, this means that the only information required for measuring the flow rate in the valves is now simply the p, and no longer the p plus the position of the knob.

Adjustment knob The ergonomic shape of the adjustment knob has been designed for maximum operator comfort and accurate adjustment. The adjustment range of 5 complete turns provides a high level of precision in balancing the hydraulic circuits. The micrometric scale indicator graduations are large and clear for very easy fine adjustment of the flow rate. The knob is made of high strength, corrosion-free reinforced polymer. Adjustment reference scale Each 360 rotation of the knob moves the turn indicator by one position, within a range of 0 (valve closed) to 5 (valve fully open). The decimal graduations of the micrometric scale situated around the knob itself allow the flow rate to be even more finely adjusted.

USING AND SETTING THE BALANCING VALVE The balancing valve is used by taking into consideration the fluidodynamic characteristics that links the pressure drop, flow rate and setting position of the knob that controls the disc. Presetting The position number that the knob should be set to (presetting) can be derived by knowing the value of the pressure drop p that must be created by the valve when a certain flow rate G passes through. The characteristic curve for each valve size can be used to determine the setting position, or the corresponding Kv can be calculated using the following formula: G Kv = (1.1) where:G = flow rate in m3/h p p = pressure drop in bar (1 bar = 100 kPa, 10.000 mm c.a.) Kv = flow rate in m3/h through the valve corresponding to a pressure drop of 1 bar The value obtained is then compared to the characteristic curve values that correspond to each valve size. It is best to choose a valve size so that it can be preset to a half-open position and still provide a certain margin both in opening and closing. Measuring the flow rate Connect a differential pressure gauge to the pressure tappings of the Venturi device of the valve. Read the p value on the gauge, then determine the flow rate value G by consulting the characteristic Venturi curve for the valve size being used. Alternatively, calculate it using the following formula: G = KvVenturi x pVenturi (1.2)

Micrometric scale

Turn indicator

Note: The curve used in this step differs from the curve used for the presetting step because it refers to the pVenturi-flow rate characteristics of the Venturi device located upstream of the valve and not those across the entire valve (including the disc), which are shown in the curves used for presetting. Memory stop The valves are equipped with a system that memorises the setting, allowing the valve to be reopened in the initial position if it has been closed for any reason. Locking the position to be memorised requires the use of a 2,5 mm hex key. Setting the flow rate manually To manually calibrate the flow rate through the valve, adjust the position of the knob until the differential pressure indicated by the measuring device corresponds to the desired flow rate value on the characteristic Venturi curve for the valve being used. Alternatively, calculate the pressure drop of the Venturi device using the following formula: pVenturi = G2 KvVenturi2 (1.3)

Knob cover

Memory stop lock screw

Next, turn the adjustment knob until the theoretical p value calculated using the formula (1.3) above is reached. Nota: The curve used in this step differs from the curve used for the presetting step because it refers to the pVenturi-flow rate characteristics of the Venturi device located inside the valve and not those across the entire valve (including the disc), which are shown in the curves used for presetting. Correcting for liquids with a different density The following comments apply to liquids with a viscosity 3E (for example, water and glycol mixtures). If using liquids with a density different from water at 20C ( = 1 kg /dm3), correct the value of the pressure drop p measured using the following formula: p' = p/' where:p' = reference pressure drop p = pressure drop measured ' = liquid density in kg/ dm3

Example: measuring the flow rate For a pVenturi measurement of 3 kPa on a 1 valve, consult the Venturi curve for the valve in question where the x-axis will indicate a flow rate value of 2000 l/h (blue line). Alternatively, use the formula (1.2), where a pVenturi measurement of 3 kPa, bearing in mind that the KvVenturi of the 1 131600 valve is equal to 11,96, will result in a flow rate G = 11,96 x 0,03 = 2,07 m3/h. Example: correcting for liquids with a different density Liquid density ' = 1,1 Kg/dm3 Pressure drop measured pVenturi = 3 kPa Reference pressure drop p' = 3/1,1 = 2,72 kPa Use this value when consulting the Venturi curve for the valve used or using the formula (1.2) to obtain the corresponding flow rate G (= 1,97 m3/h).

Example: setting the flow rate manually Proceed as follows to adjust the flow rate for a 1 value to 2500 l/h. Turn the valve knob into the fully open position and then gradually close the valve controlling the pVenturi value indicated by the measuring device. As shown in the curve at left, once the differential value of 4,3 kPa (red line), has been reached, the flow of the fluid passing through the valve will be at the desired rate of 2500 l/h. Alternatively, with a flow rate rate of G = 2500 l/h and KvVenturi = 11,96 for the 131600 1 valve in question, use the formula (1.3) to derive a pVenturi = 2,52 / 11,962 = 4,3 kPa. Set the valve to the pVenturi value calculated. Example: correcting for liquids with a different density Desired liquid flow rate G = 2.500 l/h. Use the formula (1.3) or the Venturi curve to determine the reference pressure drop p = 2,52 / 11,962 = 4,3 kPa. If the density of the liquid used is = 1,1 kg/dm3 the formula below will provide the pressure drop pVenturi value, which should be indicated on the measuring device for the flow rate desired: pVenturi = x p = 1,1 x 4,3 = 4,73 kPa.

series construction details


Adjustment knob The ergonomic shape of the adjustment knob has been designed for maximum operator comfort and accurate adjustment. The adjustment range of several complete turns provides a high level of precision in balancing the hydraulic circuits. The micrometric scale indicator graduations are large and clear for very easy fine adjustment of the flow rate. The indicator can be quickly repositioned to facilitate reading. The knob is made of high strength, corrosion-free reinforced resin.

Convertibility of the connections The 135 series valve bodies can be converted from straight connections to angled connections and vice versa at the installation site without using special tools or additional parts. These connections are able to be converted because the bodies have been constructed with a 45 seal. Rotating one half of the body will change the direction of the connections by 90, making it very easy to convert the connections at the installation site without jeopardising the precision of their operations. This is the first time that a balancing valve, for this type of product, can be used conventionally or by replacing the elbows or bends in a hydraulic circuit. This adaptability allows it to be situated in the ideal location.

Adjustment reference scale Each 360 rotation of the knob moves the linear indicator by one position, within a range of 0 (valve closed) to the maximum value depending upon the size of the valve. The decimal graduations situated around the knob itself allow the flow rate to be even more finely adjusted.

Coupling with flanges The 135 series valves are equipped with a special coupling system of flanges composed of the following parts: Adapters for two-part flanges with an anti-rotation lock system.

Memory stop The valves are equipped with a system that memorises the setting, allowing the valve to be reopened in the initial position if it has been closed for any reason. Locking the position to be memorised does not require the use of any special tools.

USING AND SETTING THE BALANCING VALVE The balancing valve is used by taking into consideration the fluidodynamic characteristics that links the pressure drop measured at the pressure connections, flow rate and setting position of the knob. Presetting The position number that the knob should be set to (presetting) can be derived by knowing the value of the pressure drop p that must be created by the valve when a certain flow rate G passes through. The characteristic curve for each valve size can be used to determine the setting position, or the corresponding Kv can be calculated using the following formula: G p (1.1) where: G = flow rate in m3/h p = pressure drop in bar (1 bar = 100 kPa = 10.000 mm c.a.) Kv = flow rate in m3/h through the valve, corresponding to a pressure drop of 1 bar

Measuring the flow rate The flow rate value G that is passing through the valve can be derived by measuring the p value on the valve for a specific setting position and consulting the curve or calculating it using the following formula: G = Kv p (1.2)

Correcting for liquids with a different density The following comments apply to liquids with a viscosity 3E (for example, water and glycol mixtures). If using liquids with a density different from water at 20C ( = 1 kg/dm3), correct the value of the pressure drop p measured using the following formula: p = p where: p= reference pressure drop p = pressure drop measured = liquid density in kg/dm3

Kv =

Use the p value to perform the presetting or flow rate measurement steps using the curves or the formulas.

The value obtained is then compared to the characteristic curve values that correspond to each valve size. It is best to choose a valve size so that it can be preset to a halfopen position and still provide a certain margin both in opening and closing.

Installation The balancing valves should be installed so that the pressure tappings, drain cocks and adjustment knob can all be accessed. The valves can be mounted on both horizontal and vertical pipes. It is best to keep the piping sections upstream and downstream of the valves straight for greater measurement precision, as shown in the diagram below. The direction of flow rate indicated on the valve body must be observed.

Function The differential by-pass valve is used in systems working with variable flow rates, for example in those making widespread use of thermostatic valves or 2-way motorised valves. It ensures a flow recirculation proportional to the number of valves being closed, while limiting the maximum differential pressure value generated by the pump. In chilled water systems with high head pumps, installation of the version with a setting range between 100 and 400 kPa is advisable.

Operating principle When the spring (1) compression is adjusted using the control knob (2), the force balance acting on the obturator (3) changes, thus modifying the trigger pressure value of the valve. The obturator opens, activating the by-pass circuit, only when it is subjected to a differential pressure sufficient to generate a thrust greater than the thrust exerted by the contrast spring. This allows the flow discharge through the outlet (4), limiting the difference in pressure between the two points in the system where the valve is fitted.

System operation The job of the by-pass valve is to maintain the pump operating point as close as possible to its nominal value (point A on the graph shown below). If the by-pass valve is not used, when the flow rate in the circuit decreases due to partial closure of the two-way valves, the head loss in the circuit increases, point B. The by-pass valve, set to the nominal head value of the pump, enables to limit the pressure increase, by-passing the flow rate G. This behaviour is guaranteed at any closing condition of the system regulating valves. In fact, once the position of the valve control knob has been established, the trigger pressure value is more or less constant as the discharge flow rate varies (see hydraulic characteristic diagrams). A proper valve sizing must guarantee a sufficient flow rate by-pass to keep the pump at its nominal operating point in all system operating conditions, for example when the first thermostatic valves are closed.

Setting To regulate the valve, turn the knob to the required value on the graduated scale: the values correspond to the differential pressure in metres w.g. to open the by-pass. To carry out rapid adjustment of the by-pass valve it is possible to use the following practical method, which can be applied, for example, to the system in an apartment fitted with thermostatic valves: the system must be operating, the regulating valves must be fully open and the by-pass valve must be set to the maximum value (a). Close approximately the 30% of the thermostatic valve. Gradually open the valve using the control knob. Use a thermometer, or simply your hand, to check that the hot water is flowing into the by-pass circuit (b). As soon as a rise in the temperature is noted, open the thermostat valves again and check that the hot water stops flowing into the by-pass (c). Lock the knob in this position (d) with the fixing screw (5).

Installation The differential by-pass valve can be fitted in any position, respecting the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body. In systems with a traditional boiler it is normally fitted between the system flow and return ends, which allows the control of the pressure and the passage of a minimum flow through the heat generator. In systems with a condensation boiler, it is preferable to fit the by-pass directly between the upstream and downstream sections of the pump, as this allows a higher T in the circuit, with lower return temperatures and therefore better operation of the system. In the event of high by-pass flow rate levels, it is recommended to fit the valve between the flow and return ends of each column, rather than fitting a number of valves in parallel at the central boiler.

Non-controllable backflow preventer with different pressure zones (CA type)


573 series
cert. n 0003

CALEFFI
01008/07 GB

ISO 9001

Function The backflow preventer is a protective plumbing device capable of preventing backflow of polluted water into the mains water system. This type of backflow may occur due to changes in pressure in the distribution network that cause water to flow backwards. The preventer, which is fitted between the mains and the user system in water distribution systems, creates a safety separation area that prevents any contact between the water in the two systems. This particular series of backflow preventers is certified as conforming to the performance requirements of standard NF P 43.009, with certification in progress according to standard EN 14367

Backflow Potable water fed from the mains supply may suffer from hazardous pollution caused mainly by contaminated fluids from plumbing systems flowing back directly into the mains supply. This phenomenon, termed backflow occurs when: a) the pressure in the mains system is less that in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply (back syphonage). This situation may occur when there is a pipe breaking in the mains system or when demand on the mains supply from consumers is very heavy. b) the pressure in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply rises (back pressure) due, for example, to water being pumped from a well.

Use of CA type backflow preventers - reference to European standard EN 1717 and EN 14367 Proper use of the CA type backflow preventer is regulated by the new European standards on prevention of pollution from backflow. The reference standard is EN 1717: 2000 Protection against polution of drinking water in water systems and general requirements for the devices used to prevent pollution by backflow. In this standard, the water in the systems is classified according to the level of risk it represents for human health.

Category 1: Category 2: Category 3: Category 4:

Water used for human consumption provided by a water company. Fluid that does not present health hazard, as per 1, the quality of which has been compromised due to changes in temperature, taste, odour or appearance. Fluid that represents a slight health hazard due to the presence of one or more harmful substances. Fluid that represents a health hazard due to the presence of one or more toxic or very toxic substances or one or more radioactive, mutagenic or carcinogenic substances. Fluid that represents a severe health hazard due to the presence of microbiological or viral elements.

Category 5:

According to this classification, suitable backflow prevention devices must be inserted in water distribution systems. CA Type backflow preventers are used to protect against risk of contamination by waters of up to category 3. For water of category 4, it is necessary to use a backflow preventer of BA type. For water of category 2 on the contrary it is sufficient to use a controllable check valve of EA type or a controllable double check valve of EC type. The table given below, named Protection matrix, associates the various types of system with the relative categories of fluid, and has been drawn up based on the indications provided in the European standards. Standard NF P 34.009 and the new European standard EN 14367 Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water. Non-controllable backflow preventer with different pressure zones. Family C Type A establishes the functional, dimensional and mechanical requirements that must be satisfied by non-controllable backflow preventers with different pressure zones of CA type. Risk assessment Given the potential dangers of the phenomenon and the requirements of current regulations, the risk of pollution from backflow must be assessed on the basis of the type of system and the characteristic of the fluid that flows in it. An appropriate backflow prevention device must be selected on the basis of that assessment performed by the system designer and the mains supplier. The device must be located along the supply line at those points at risk of backflow which would be hazardous to human health. The protection can be provided by inserting a backflow preventer at critical points in the circuit at the inlet from the mains supply or in the internal plumbing system. This will prevent polluted water from flowing back in all systems for which direct connection to the mains or an internal supply is considered hazardous.

Operating principle The non-controllable reduced pressure zone backflow preventer, CA type comprises: a check valve upstream (1); a check valve downstream (2); a discharge device (3). The two check valves mark the limits of three different zones, in each of which there is a different pressure: upstream or inlet area (A); intermediate zone, also known as the zone of different pressure (B); downstream or outlet zone (C). The discharge device (3) is located in the intermediate zone. The discharge device (3) is connected directly to the diaphragm (4). This mobile assembly is opened and closed by the difference in pressure between upstream and downstream of the check valve and by the counter spring (5). Correct conditions of flow Under correct conditions of flow, both check valves are open, while the pressure in the intermediate chamber (B) is always lower than the pressure upstream (A) due to a calculated loss of head at the first check valve (1). As a result, this pressure difference acts on the internal diaphragm (4) and generates a force that keeps the drain valve closed (3), communicating with the atmosphere, pressing on the counter spring (5). Upstream pressure loss As the pressure upstream decreases, both the check valves close. The discharge valve (3) opens at the moment in which the difference in pressure p, existing between the upstream (A) and intermediate areas (B) reaches a value just below the one calculated for the counter spring (5). Drainage continues until the intermediate chamber of the backflow preventer is empty. This creates a (safety) air zone and prevents the contaminated water of the circuit , coming from zone (C), from returning into the water distribution mains if the downstream check valve (2) fails. When the situation returns to normal (upstream pressure higher than the downstream pressure), the discharge valve closes again and the backflow preventer is once again ready to work.

Downstream pressure increase If the pressure in the downstream zone (C) increases until it exceeds the upstream pressure value (A), the check valve (2) closes, thus preventing the water that has already been sent to the user from flowing back towards the water main. Should check valve (2) have a slight problem with seal, or in general should any other malfunction occur in the backflow preventer, the latter will always shut off (disconnect) the connection between the user and the water main. The backflow preventer has been made with all the constructional features typical of positive acting devices; this means it ensures that optimum safety conditions are maintained in all situations.

Construction details Corrosion-proof materials The materials used to manufacture the backflow preventers must be insensitive to corrosion caused by contact with drinking water, and these characteristics must be maintained over time. For this reason, they have been made using dezincification-resistant alloy for the body (7), the central obturator seat (8) and the check valves (1-2), and stainless steel for the springs and strainer. Elastomers complying with food regulations The elastomers used for the hydraulic seals have been approved by the Certifying Bodies in accordance with the most recent regulations regarding compatibility for use with drinking water. Stainless steel strainer The backflow preventer is fitted with a stainless steel strainer (9) upstream, to prevent impurities or dirt from causing damage to the check valve seals (1-2) or the central obturator internal mechanism (8) over time. Certification The non-controllable backflow preventer with different pressure zones CA type 573 series is certified as in compliance with the specific national and European product requirements by the following Bodies: NF - SVGW - BELGAQUA - KIWA - SITAC - ACS.

Before installing the backflow preventer it will be necessary to clean the piping with a high-capacity jet of water. Poor cleaning of the system can easily impair the operation of the unit. For the protection of the public mains the disconnection unit must be installed after the water meter, whereas in order to protect the tap water outlets of the internal network it should be installed at the limit of the areas where there may be contamination, for example: central heating, watering gardens, etc.

1. Drain control operation. When there are drops in pressure in the water supply mains, therefore upstream from the valve, the drain valve must open and let the water contained in the valve body run out: a. Close the shut-off valves upstream and downstream (4). b. Open the upstream control cock (2). The water contained in the valve body should now flow out, indicating that the device has tripped and has opened the drain valve.

Installation The backflow preventer unit must be installed horizontally after a shut-off valve upstream and an inspectable filter; another shut-off valve must be installed downstream. The unit must be installed in an accessible area that is large enough to prevent it getting submerged by any accidental flooding. In addition there must be adequate waste pipe for medium drained from the unit to flow away. 2. Check the seal of the second check valve. When back pressure is applied on the downstream side of the valve, the second check valve must close to prevent the water from flowing back: a. Close the shut-off valves downstream and upstream from the disconnection unit. b. Open the upstream control cock (2). c. Install a by-pass hose joining the control cock (1) to the other control cock (3) downstream and open them both to carry the mains pressure downstream of the second check valve. No water must come out of the drain valve, thereby indicating that the second check valve does not leak.

Function The following series of convertible radiator valves are typically used for controlling the fluid in the emitters of heating systems. These special valves can be converted from manual to thermostatic operation by simple replacement of the adjusting knob with a thermostatic control head. This means that the ambient temperature of any room in which they are installed can be constantly maintained at the set value. The innovative 202 series thermostatic control head enables the room temperature to be controlled, showing the actual room temperature on the indicator on the front of the control head. These valves have a special tailpiece with rubber hydraulic seal, permitting quick, safe connection to the radiator without the use of additional sealing materials.

Operating principle of thermostatic control head The control device of the thermostatic valve is a proportional temperature regulator, composed of bellows containing a specific thermostatic liquid. As the temperature increases, the liquid increases in volume and causes the bellows to expand. As the temperature decreases the opposite process occurs; the bellows contract due to the thrust of the counter spring. The axial movements of the sensor element are transmitted to the valve actuator by means of the connecting stem, thereby adjusting the flow of medium in the heat emitter.

Thermostatic control head with temperature indicator, 202 series Room temperature indicator The room temperature indicator, mounted on the front of the thermostatic control, is of the LCD type. It highlights the actual room temperature reading in green, to enable precise regulation of the temperature to the desired value.

Pivoting system A particular pivoting system keeps the indicator always vertical thus allowing its optimal visualization.

Construction details Valve The stainless steel control stem (1) has an EPDM double seal O-ring. In this way the upper portion of the headwork (2) can be replaced even with the system running. The obturator (3) is shaped so as to optimise the hydraulic characteristics of the valve during the progressive action of opening or closing in thermostatic operation. The wide passage between the seat and obturator causes reduced head losses in manual operation.

Thermostatic control head with remote sensor, 201 series The use of the thermostatic head with remote sensor requires installation of the latter in accordance with the dimensions shown in the diagram.

Dual manifolds and differential by-pass valve

01014/06 GB

Function Dual manifolds are typically used for the distribution of the heatcarrying medium in heating and air conditioning systems. They are available with both double and single side connections and can be used to connect fittings for copper, plastic or multi-layer piping. They are also offered for air-conditioning systems in a version complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation, sized to limit thermal losses and above all to prevent condensation on the surface. The differential by-pass valve keeps the manifold flow and return circuits pressure balanced when the flow rate varies. This variation in flow rate can take place following the closure of room temperature regulating valves on the heat emitters like for example, thermostatic or thermo-electric valves.

Construction details Monoblock casting These manifolds are made with a monoblock casting, without any connections made between the internal tubes. This eliminates a possible cause of leakage due to coupling with metals with different coefficients of expansion. The connections of the side outlets are obtained tangentially to the main tubes to make fitting the unions easier. D

Differential by-pass valve


Function In heating systems, the heat-carrying medium distribution circuits can be totally or partially shut off by closing the thermostatic or thermoelectric valves in the radiators. After reducing the flow rate, the differential pressure in the circuit may increase up to values able to generate problems of noise, high medium speed, mechanical erosion and hydraulic unbalancing of the system itself. The differential by-pass kit for manifolds 356 series performs the function of keeping the flow and return pressure of the manifold circuit balanced when the flow rate varies. This valve is fitted for quick coupling with the manifolds 356 series, reducing the overall dimensions to a minimum.

Principle of operation The by-pass valve contains a non-return obturator integral with a counter spring. When the fixed calibrated pressure value is reached, the valve obturator opens gradually. The flow is in this way recirculated and, being proportional to the closure of the thermostatic or electrothermal valves, keeps the differential pressure constant in the manifold circuit.

Ball zone valves

CALEFFI
series 6460
cert. n 0003

ISO 9001

01015/03 GB

Function Zone valves are used to automatically shut-off the flow of carrier fluid distributed to a system. Specifically: - In central heating systems, they support the ambient temperature regulation and indirect heat metering when connected to a meter. - In domestic hot water systems, they allow control of the temperature in the storage cylinders. - In commercial and industrial systems, they can shut-off the flow in the distribution networks. Motorised ball valves are used in the above applications mainly because of the following characteristics: - No seeping across the valve. - Rapid operation (valve opening - closing). - Ability to operate with high differential pressures. - Low head losses. Registered design.

Operating principle Ambient temperature control in central heating systems. A reduction in ambient temperature causes the room thermostat contacts to close, and the actuator controlling the opening of the valve to receive electrical power. The zone is then supplied with hot water and the area is heated. When the required ambient temperature is reached, the thermostat causes the contacts to open, and the valve then closes again. The room thermostat must be of the two-position (ON/OFF) type and of reduced thermal inertia. M 59 59 59 59

Ambient temperature control and indirect heat metering Heat metering is carried out by means of a meter which totals the hours run time when the zone valve is open. The principle of metering for the heat consumption with the zone valve and hours-run meter is defined by the following technical standards, issued by the Italian Standards organization: UNI 8465: System of sharing heating expenses using zone valves and meters for hours run time. This standard also contains an interesting appendix designed to allow checking of the heating power installed in each dwelling and the relevant heating quotas; UNI 8156: The use of zone valves in dividing heating costs;

Constructional details Electrical connections The electrical connection of the actuator consists of an external plug-in socket system, which does not require the cover to be opened for the supply cable to be connected. This solution is particularly useful if the actuator needs to be replaced. An efficient rubber protective cover safeguards the connection system.

2-way valve, series 6470

Actuator The actuator has an auxiliary microswitch which can be used to switch on an hours-run meter when the valve opens or for shut-down of the pump. The microswitch contacts are closed when the valve is approximately 80% open. The actuator mechanisms are contained in a self-extinguishing polycarbonate box; for this reason it is suitable for all installations with the highest guarantee of safety.

4-way valve, series 6489

Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened and closed manually by means of a screwdriver. 3-way zone valve, PATENTED Although this is a 3-way ball valve, the technical solution adopted and patented enables it to be used as a normal piston valve (CALEFFI series 633), which can thus be connected to dual manifolds. This obviously simplifies the system and makes it possible to connect the valve directly to the manifold, thus avoiding more complicated pipework. 4-way telescopic valve The 4-way telescopic valve, series 6489, allows connection with manifolds whose main centre distances are between 49 and 63 mm. The tee has a U6 calibrated nozzle.

Balanced by-pass tee This is provided with union connections of 1/2, 3/4 or 1 and is particularly useful for connecting 3-way zone valves with dual manifolds. The connection to the third outlet has a calibrated nozzle whose purpose is to balance the loss of head in the user circuit. This makes it possible to keep the flow in the system constant and thus the pump head, with the valves both open and closed. This is particularly important when the pump curve has a very steep characteristic and the distribution network has a considerable length of pipework. The fixed nozzle system is preferable to the adjusting screw system as: - it avoids the need for complicated adjusting operations; - calibration cannot be lost; - it does not cause noise due to possible vibrations of the moving regulator.

System applications

N L
Zone control systems act in such a way as to shut-off automatically the hydraulic loops supplying the heat transfer terminals, according to the temperature reached in the room. This can cause variations in pressure and flow rates throughout the system, and it is therefore vital to ensure that these variations are kept under control within acceptable limits. System with 3-way zone valve The system operates with a constant flow rate only if the zone valves are provided with balanced tees or the circuits are balanced with Autoflow automatic flow regulators, which keep the zone flow rate constant with the zone valve open or in by-pass. In this case, the closing of the zone valves does not cause variations in either differential pressure or flow rate to the loops which remain open. System with 2-way zone valves The system operates with a variable flow rate and the pressure increase generated by the closing of the zone valve must be kept under control. This increase, which may reach levels which are unacceptable for the correct operation of the system, is translated as an increase in head in the circuits which are left open, with consequent problems at the pump and boiler. It is therefore necessary to keep the differential pressures under control by means of differential by-pass valves or variable speed pumps. However, the insertion of Autoflow regulators always limits the flow rate in the open circuits to the nominal value. Diagram allowing pump shut-down when no zone is operating. The diagram below, using the auxiliary microswitch, enables the pump to be shut down when no zone is operating. If the pump has a consumption higher than 0,8 A (170 VA) an intermediate remote relay switch must be used.

Function Water hammer phenomenon occurs in closed pipes when the fluid is accelerated or decelerated very quickly, due to the rapid closure of valves or taps or as a consequence of a circulation pump stopping. The effect consists in the propagation of over- and underpressures along the pipes, which may result in noise and damage to the whole system. The water hammer arrester, when installed close to single-lever mixing taps, solenoid valves, ball valves, etc., prevents such negative effects. The use of water hammer arrester is recommended in particular by UNI 9182 regulation Cold and hot water supply and distribution systems. Design, testing and management criteria.

The water hammer phenomenon In domestic water systems, water hammer phenomenon occurs when a pipe is closed rapidly by a device such as a single-lever mixing tap, solenoid valve, ball valve, etc.. The abruptness of the operation creates a perturbation in the water pressure which propagates along the pipe in the form of an overpressure wave. The perturbation starts from the check device, travels upstream, reflects against other devices or elbows in the pipe and returns downstream, damping progressively. The overpressure thus adds to the existing pressure in the pipe (as visible in the next page diagram), causing the following problems: breakage of pipes, tanks and hoses wear of seals, connecting welds and sanitary appliances damage to shut-off, check and regulating equipments high noise and powerful vibrations in both the pipes and the structures.

Numerical example: pipe length 10 m, diameter equivalent to 1/2, steel, copper and PE-X pipes with water velocity v1 = 2 m/s. We give the values of the velocity of the perturbation propagation v2, sudden operating times t* (phase time) and the overpressure p obtained with the formulas. L (m) v1(m/s) v2 (m/s) t* (ms) Steel Copper PE-X 10 10 10 2 2 2 1411 1400 885 14,2 14,3 22,6 p (m w.g.) 288 285 180 p (bar) 28,8 28,5 18

The amount of the overpressure is influenced by numerous factors, which make the phenomenon difficult to reproduce under laboratory conditions: equipment closing times length, diameter and material of the pipe velocity of the water.

For the practical purpose of calculating the water hammer overpressure, the following formula combines the most common variables in a domestic water system: 2 v1 L p = gt (1)

formula valid for t > t*, see next definition

p = overpressure due to water hammer (m w.g.) v1 = water velocity at time of closure start (m/s) L = length of pipe (m) g = acceleration of gravity (9,81 m/s2) t = valve closing time (s) We can briefly indicate the physical significance of the closing time (better defined as phase time) with the following formula:

Due to the greater stiffness of metal pipes, the velocity of the perturbation v2 is greater than in plastic pipes and close to the velocity of sound in water (1420 m/s at 7C). From these results, it is evident that plastic pipes for domestic water systems are more easily subject to water hammer, since they have a longer phase time t* than metal pipes. In practice, this means that closing operating times must be slower than in metal pipes. Although the overpressure values p for plastic pipes are lower than those for metal pipes (since they are less stiff, they partially dampen the water hammer), such overpressures can nonetheless stress the pipes beyond their resistance limit. Furthermore, in wall installations, the presence of a corrugated sheath or insulation influences the stiffness of plastic pipes, making the calculation of the water hammer even more complicated. From the example given, it is clear that the use of a water hammer arrester, already useful for metal pipes, is even more advisable for domestic water systems with plastic pipes, especially if installed externally. The graph at the bottom of the page shows the influence of the various parameters on the overpressure in copper pipes at the time of the pipe closure. The three curves were obtained setting a closing time t equal to the phase time t* of a 100 m pipe of size 20x1. Copper pipe 20x1 v2 (m/s) 1393 t* (ms) 100 m pipe 143,5

2 L t* = v2

(2) We can draw the following conclusions: 1) The longer the pipe, the greater the phase time t* and hence operations must be slower to prevent water hammer (formula (2)). 2) For a given operating time t and medium velocity v1, the longer the pipe, the greater the p caused by the operation (formula (1)). 3) For a given medium velocity v1 and length of pipe, larger diameters yield a slightly lower p (formula (1), but the difference is close to be negligible). 4) For a given pipe length and operating time t, if the medium velocity v1 increases, the p generated by the operation also increases (formula (1) and graph at foot of page). Overpressure in copper pipe 20x1 80 70 Overpressure p (bar) 60 50 40 30 20 10 t* (phase time) Closing time t 0 1 100 20x1 v1 = 1 m/s 20x1 v1 = 2 m/s 20x1 v1 = 5 m/s Diagram obtained by setting the operation time t = t* = phase time of the 100 m pipe

t* = valve phase time (s) L = length of pipe (m) v2 = velocity of the perturbation propagation (m/s) (as a function of the medium, pipe material, inner diameter and thickness of the pipe). For mechanical devices such as single-lever mixing taps, solenoid valves, ball valves, etc., all closing times t t* are defined sudden operations and induce a water hammer in the pipe with an overpressure at the maximum intensity, which is the same for any operating time. On the other hand, a closing time t > t* is defined slow operation and causes a less intense water hammer effect, which may even be negligible. By setting t = t* within the formula (1), we obtain the maximum overpressure p value for the water hammer effect. This will be evident from the following graph. p pmax.

The closed chamber (2) contains air and acts as a damper due to the compressibility of the air. The open chamber (3) is connected directly to the pipe and fills with the system water. The water thrust on the piston is counteracted both by the air pressure variation in the chamber (2) and by the contrast spring (5) housed behind the piston in the air chamber. The oscilloscope graph reveals the following: - speed of the pressure increase - oscillatory character of the phenomenon - continuance of high pressure in the pipe even after the water hammer - effectiveness of the water hammer arrester.

Construction details Reduced dimensions Water hammer arresters are easy to install in the system, preferably in the vicinity of the shut-off devices which originate the overpressure to damp. Maintenance free Compared to pneumatic arresters, Caleffi 525 series arresters, since mechanical, are maintenance free. Foodsafe elastomers and other materials The elastomers used in the seals and the other materials comply with the compatibility requirements for use with potable water as required by WRAS certifications. Reference standards Article 15 of UNI 9182 (IT) Cold and hot water supply and distribution systems. Design, testing and management criteria, specifies that: All cold and hot water distribution systems must be equipped with water hammer arrester of the mechanical (spring) or hydropneumatic (permanent or serviceable air cushion) type... The installation of the water hammer arrester must also comply with the Guidelines for the prevention and control of Legionnaires Disease, as set out by the Ministry of Health and adopted by the Regional State Conference on 4.4.2000. The arresters must be installed in such a way as not to create zones of stagnant water, which may be difficult to reach for the purposes of disinfection. Installation

The Caleffi 525 series water hammer arrester must be installed as close as possible to the device which gives rise to the water hammer by suddenly shutting off the water flow, so as to damp the resulting overpressure as soon as possible. It may be installed horizontally, vertically or upside down. For better results, the installation of the Caleffi 525 series should include the following: - installation at the public network inlet of a pressure reducing valve to keep the system pressure at 3-4 bar, which is the optimal value for the operation of the water hammer arrester as well as the sanitary appliances; - reduction of the water velocity in the pipes. The water velocity directly affects the overpressure in case of rapid closure of the pipe.

The recommended solution is that shown below, where the water hammer arrester is installed either next to the end user service or at the main connection of a distribution manifold for a small group of domestic appliances.

When installing the water hammer arrester under sinks and washhand basins, code 525130, create a space of 5-6 cm between the copper pipes and the threaded section of the shut-off valves. The radial connections enable water hammer arrester to be rotated to fit the available space.

Installation recommendations The Caleffi 525 series water hammer arresters are designed for single service installation (under washhand basins) or small groups of services, such as in a bathroom supplied by a domestic manifold. For larger scale water hammer problems, the solutions are different and must be designed to fit the particular case. One possible solution to water hammer may be to install an expansion vessel to act as an arrester. The traditional approach of installing water hammer arresters at the top of rising column, requires a review in the light of legislation about Legionnaires Disease. Although this solution was effective in attenuating water hammer, it is counterproductive in terms of system disinfection (both thermal and chemical) since it creates two types of hard to reach dead zones: - sections of pipe connecting the hot water rising pipes with the water hammer arresters above the recirculation connections; - zones of stagnant water inside the water hammer arresters themselves.

The ball valves with built-in check valve BALLSTOP combine two devices in a single body: a ball shut-off valve and a check valve housed inside the ball itself. This dual function allows for quicker installation and a more compact device, which means less space required on the pipe. BALLSTOP valves are available in two versions for two different uses: the version with black plastic external ring for use in domestic water systems and the version with red external ring for heating systems.

Operating principle The valve consists of a ball (1) containing a check obturator (2) with a fluid-dynamic shape. During normal circulation of the medium in the system, the obturator is pushed against the retaining spring (3) housed inside it, thereby opening the aperture and allowing the medium to flow through it. When the pressure downstream of the valve is higher than the upstream pressure, the obturator is pushed in the opposite direction against the seal seat on the ball (4), in order to prevent backflow of the medium. Even with no flow, the valve is closed by the action of the retaining spring alone. The obturator, owing to the thrust exerted by the retaining spring (3) and by the downstream pressure, completely shuts off the flow passage by means of the specially shaped seal (5) (positioned on the ball seal seat or on the obturator depending on the version). The ball valve, equipped with butterfly handle (6) or lever handle depending on the size of the valve, acts as a standard shut-off device.

Construction details Silent operation and low head losses Thanks to the ogival, fluid-dynamic shape of the obturator, the BALLSTOP valve ensures silent operation. Furthermore the flow rate curve is fairly flat, indicating limited head loss increases even in the case of substantial increases in flow rate. Quick operation The seal (positioned on the end point of the ball or on the obturator itself depending on the version) and the retaining spring (housed inside the obturator) ensure instant shut-off and a perfect seal, even with slight back pressure. Insensitive to dirt The sliding parts, due to the special coupling, are insensitive to dirt particles present in the water and deposits which may form after long periods of non-use. Foodsafe elastomers and other materials The elastomers used in the seals and the other materials of 3230, 332, 333 and 334 series BALLSTOP ball valves meet the compatibility requirements for use with potable water as required by WRAS and ACS certifications.

Easy system commissioning and maintenance During system commissioning or maintenance or if it is necessary to reverse the flow direction through the valve, setting the lever to 45 disables the check valve, enabling the medium to flow through the aperture between the outer surface of the ball and the valve body. This procedure also releases any air which may have formed while the system was not in use.

Installation Caleffi 3230, 332, 333 and 334 series BALLSTOP ball valves with built-in check valve are recommended for domestic water systems where there is a need to disable the check valve. Typical uses include connection to the water network or installation on hot water storage supply lines etc. Caleffi 327 series BALLSTOP ball valves with built-in check valve are recommended for heating systems, thanks to the seal materials which are compatible with high temperature operating conditions. The application of a check valve after the pump (see figure opposite) is aimed at preventing the convective motion of natural circulation when the circulator is switched off and which causes an unwanted increase in room temperature, resulting in higher costs and discomfort for the user.

By contrast the ball valve, where the check device is housed, serves as a shut-off device: if the pump is removed or the boiler emptied, it prevents all the water draining out from the system.

The ball shut-off valve with built-in check valve must be installed in the system following the flow direction indicated on the plastic band applied to the valve body. The valve can be fitted in any position, vertical, horizontal or upside down.

Function The backflow preventer is a plumbing protection device designed to prevent polluted water from flowing back into the mains supply. This type of backflow may occur when the pressure in the mains supply changes and causes a reversal of the flow. The backflow preventer is installed between the mains supply and the internal consumer circuit in water supply systems and creates a safety zone which prevents the water in the two circuits from coming into contact.

Backflow Potable water fed from the mains supply may suffer from hazardous pollution caused mainly by contaminated fluids from plumbing systems flowing back directly into the mains supply. This phenomenon, termed backflow occurs when: a) the pressure in the mains system is less that in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply (back syphonage). This situation may occur when there is a pipe breaking in the mains system or when demand on the mains supply from consumers is very heavy. b) the pressure in the plumbing circuit receiving the supply rises (back pressure) due, for example, to water being pumped from a well.

Risk assessment Given the potential dangers of the phenomenon and the requirements of current regulations, the risk of pollution from backflow must be assessed on the basis of the type of system and the characteristic of the fluid that flows in it. An appropriate backflow prevention device must be selected on the basis of that assessment performed by the system designer and the mains supplier. The device must be located along the supply line at those points at risk of backflow which would be hazardous to human health. The protection can be provided by inserting a backflow preventer at critical points in the circuit at the inlet from the mains supply or in the internal plumbing system. This will prevent polluted water from flowing back in all systems for which direct connection to the mains or an internal supply is considered hazardous.

Use of backflow preventers (BA type) according to European standards EN 1717 and EN 12729 Proper use of the BA type backflow preventer is regulated by the new European standards on the prevention of pollution from backflow. The relevant standard is EN 1717: 2000 Protection against pollution of potable water in water installations and general requirements of devices to prevent pollution by backflow. The types of water contained in water systems are classified in this standard according to the degree of risk to health. Category 1: Water used for human consumption provided by a water company. Category 2: Fluid which does not present health hazard, as in category 1, whose quality has been compromised as a result in changes to its temperature, taste, odour or appearance. Category 3: Fluid which presents a slight health hazard due to concentrations of low toxic substances. Category 4: Fluid that presents a significant health hazard due to concentrations of toxic substances. Category 5: Fluid that presents a serious health hazard due to concentrations of pathogenic organisms, radioactive or very toxic substances. Appropriate backflow prevention devices must be fitted in water supply systems on the basis of this classification. Backflow preventers (BA type) can be used to protect against the risk of pollution from backflow for types of water up to category 4. For category 5 types of water an air gap separation must be used. The table on the right, entitled Protection matrix, relates the categories of water to different types of system. It has been compiled on the basis of indications given by the European regulations. The new European standard EN 12729 Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water. Controllable backflow preventer with reduced pressure zone. Family B Type A - stipulate the functional, dimensional and mechanical requirements that must be met for controllable reduced pressure zone backflow preventers (BA type).

Operating principle The controllable reduced pressure zone backflow preventer is comprised of: a body with an inspection cover, an upstream check valve (1), a downstream check valve (2), a discharge device (3). The two check valves divide three different zones, each of which at a different pressure: an upstream or inlet zone (A); an intermediate zone, also known as the reduced pressure zone (B); a downstream or outlet zone (C). Each of these has a test port for measuring pressure. A discharge device (3), is located in the lower part of the intermediate zone. The obturator of the discharge device is connected via the valve stem (4) to the diaphragm (5). This mobile unit is pushed upwards by the spring (6). The diaphragm (5) marks the limit of the top chamber (D), which is connected to the upstream zone by the channel (7). Normal flow conditions Under conditions of normal flow, both check valves are open, while the pressure in the intermediate chamber (B) is always lower that the inlet pressure by at least 140 mbar due to the pressure loss caused by the check valve (1). In the top chamber (D), however, the pressure is the same as in the inlet zone. In this situation, the mobile unit consisting of the diaphragm (5), the valve stem (4) and the valve obturator (3) is pushed down by the push created by the difference in pressure acting on the diaphragm which is greater than that of the spring(6) acting in the opposite direction. The discharge valve is therefore held in the closed position.

DOWNSTREAM

No flow conditions The check valves (1) and (2) are now closed. Since the pressure in the upstream zone and therefore also in the top chamber (D), is still at least 140 mbar higher than the pressure in the intermediate chamber (B), the discharge valve remains closed.

DOWNSTREAM

Upstream pressure loss Both check valves close as the pressure upstream drops. The discharge valve (3) opens when the difference in pressure P, between the upstream and the intermediate zones falls, drops below 140 mbar. Under these conditions the action exerted by the pressure difference P on the diaphragm (5), becomes weaker than that exerted by the spring (6), and the discharge valve (3) opens as a result. Discharge then occurs until the body of the backflow preventer is empty. When the situation returns to normal (pressure upstream greater than pressure downstream), the discharge valve closes and the backflow preventer is again ready to operate.

A B 3 C

DOWNSTREAM

Downstream back pressure If the pressure in the downstream zone increases until it is greater than the upstream pressure, the check valve (2) closes and therefore prevents water already delivered from returning back into the mains system. If the seal of the check valve (2), is slightly defective or in general terms there is any other type of fault in the backflow preventer, the device always interrupts (disconnects) the connection between the mains system and the receiving system. The backflow preventer has been designed with all construction details required for a properly functioning positive action device; the best possible safety conditions are therefore ensured under all conditions.

Constructional details Discharge funnel In compliance with standard EN 1717 backflow from the connected pipe must be prevented during discharge and this must occur without any external water spillage. Consequently the tundish connected to the discharge pipe must be of an appropriate size with special openings to create the necessary air gap and it must be equipped with a proper flow conveyor. Anti-corrosion materials The materials used to manufacture the backflow preventers must be corrosion resistant due to contact with drinking water. They are therefore constructed using an dezincification resistant alloy , bronze and stainless steel to ensure longlasting high performance. Elastomers complying with food regulations The elastomers employed for the water seals are approved by Certifying Bodies in compliance with the most recent regulations governing compatibility for use with drinking water. Easy maintenance The backflow preventer is inspected periodically during its normal operating life to check that it is functioning correctly. Should the need arise, dismantling and maintenance operations are simple and easy to perform with components that are easy to inspect and replace without disconnecting the valve body from the pipework.

Certification The series 574 and 575 BA type controllable reduced pressure zone backflow preventers are certified as complying with the National and European standards by the following Certifying Bodies: UNI-NF-WRASKIWA-DVGW-SVGW-OVGW-KIWA-SITAC-BELGAQUA-SAI-Global.

Installation Backflow preventers must be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with current norms and regulations. They must be installed downstream from a shut-off valve and from a strainer with a discharge that can be inspected and another shut-off valve must be fitted downstream from it. The unit must be installed in an accessible position, appropriately located to avoid possible immersion due to accidental flooding (see diagram). The device must be fitted horizontally. The discharge tundish must comply with standard EN 1717 and be connected to the sewage piping. Before installing the backflow preventer and the strainer, the pipework must be flushed with a large flow rate. When used to protect the mains supply, backflow preventers must be installed downstream from the water meter, whereas when used to protect the potable water supply system for internal usage, they are installed at the limit of the zone where pollution might occur, e.g. central heating systems, garden irrigation systems, etc.

Inspection and maintenance The backflow preventer is a safety device and requires periodical inspection. The first sign of poor functioning, generally caused by the presence of foreign bodies (sand or other impurities), is seen with a constant discharge from the discharge valve. This discharge is only a first alarm and does not mean in any way that the backflow preventer is not safe but the device and the strainer upstream from it requires dismantling and cleaning. A quick method of inspection (requires less than 15 minutes) is described in the table below. N.B. If water is discharged from the discharge valve, a strong flow of water is recommended by turning on one or more taps since this is often sufficient to expel foreign bodies and return everything to normal.

Control instrumentation (code 575000) The periodical (annual) control instrumentation consists of the following: - Upstream pressure gauge - Downstream pressure gauge - Differential pressure gauge

The flexible tubes and necessary connections are included as well as accessories useful for dismantling the unit. The instrumentation comes in its own case.

QUICK INSPECTION METHOD Check that the system is under pressure before each operation and watch the discharge valve located on the lower part of the device (use a mirror if necessary).

Dimensions

Operating principle The functioning of the pressure reducing valve is based on the balance between two opposing forces: 1 the thrust of the spring to open the flow through the cross section.

2 the thrust of the diaphragm to the close the flow through the cross section.

Operation with water flow When a draw-off outlet is opened on the water system, the force of the spring becomes greater than that of the diaphragm; the obturator moves downwards opening the valve to the flow of water. The greater the demand for water the lower the pressure under the diaphragm with a resulting greater flow of water through the valve.

Operation without water flow When the draw-off outlet is closed, the downstream pressure rises and pushes the diaphragm upwards. As a result the obturator closes the valve to the passage of water and maintains the pressure constant at the calibrated pressure. The slightest difference in favour of the force exercised by the diaphragm, in relation to that of the spring, causes the device to close.

Construction details Contoured diaphragm The membrane was designed with a special shape to give an accurate pressure regulation as a function of changes in the downstream pressure. This design feature also extends the valve life because the diaphragm is more resistant to pressure sudden changes and to wear. Silent operation The large chamber on the outlet side of the reducing valve creates a low flow speed zone, which is particularly effective in reducing noise generated by narrowing the width of the passage through which the water flows when the valve is reducing pressure.

Small size The inclined design makes the 533. series reducers small in size so that they are easy to fit especially in domestic systems.

Non-stick materials The central support , which contains the moving parts is made of a plastic material with a low coefficient of adhesion. This reduces the probability of scale deposits being formed, the main cause of malfunction.

Use with boiler hydraulic safety groups The 5331 model is specially designed for use with the Caleffi hydraulic safety groups for hot water storage heaters 5261 series. The 3/4" nut provided can be used for an easy direct connection to the hydraulic safety groups. Extractable cartridge The cartridges in the Caleffi 533. series of pressure reducing valves can be removed for periodic cleaning and maintenance.

It is recommended that flow velocity is kept within 1 to 2 metres per second when calculating the correct reducer size. This will prevent noise in the pipes and rapid wear of appliances. The correct diameter of the reducing valve is taken from diagram 1 on the basis of the design flow rate taking into account an ideal flow velocity of between 1 and 2 m/s (blue band). Example: for Gds = 21 l/min select diameter 1/2 (see indications on diagram 1)

Sizing the valve The flow rates of commonly used appliances in domestic plumbing systems are given below to assist in the selection of the correct valve diameter:

The pressure drop is taken from diagram 2 again on the basis of where the design flow rate intersects the curve for the relative diameter already selected (the downstream pressure falls by an amount equal to the pressure drop, with respect to the set pressure at no flow condition).

Example: Table of typical flow rates Bathtub, kitchen sink, dishwasher 12 l/min Shower 9 l/min Washbasin, bidet, washing machine, WC with cistern 6 l/min The simultaneous-use factor must be taken into account to avoid selecting a valve that is too large. Basically, the fewer people using the system, the lower the probability of two appliances being used at the same time. for Gds = 21 l/min 1/2 (see indications on diagram 2) p = 0,8 bar

Installation 1. Turn all taps on before installing the valve to flush the system and expel any air remaining in the pipes. 2. Install shut-off valves upstream and downstream of the pressure reducer to facilitate future maintenance operations. The upstream valve may have a check valve incorporated (Caleffi BALLSTOP). 3. Install the pressure reducer in any position. 4. Close downstream shut-off valve. 5. Calibrate it by turning the screw on the top of the plastic cover. Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure and anticlockwise to decrease it.

2. Water hammer This is one of the main causes of faults in pressure reducing valves. It is best to fit special devices to absorb water hammer when installing pressure reducers in at-risk systems.

Trouble-shooting Certain types of fault, which are generally due to faulty design of the system, are often wrongly attributed to pressure reducing valves. The most frequent cases are as follows: 1. Increased downstream pressure in the presence of a water heater This problem is due to heating of the water caused by the water heater. There is not relief of the pressure because the reducing valve is rightly closed. The solution is to install an expansion vessel (between the heater and the reducer) to absorb the pressure increase. 2. The reducer does not maintain its calibrated value In most cases this is the result of impurities that deposit on the valve seat causing leakage with a resulting increase in pressure downstream. The solution is to fit a strainer upstream of the reducer and subsequently to maintain and clean the extractable cartridge (see Maintenance).

6. Adjust until the correct pressure is read on the pressure gauge. Series 533. reducers are factory set at 3 bar.

Recommendations for installation 1. Installation below ground Installing pressure reducing valves below ground is not recommended, for three reasons: - there is a risk of the reducing valve being damaged by frost - inspection and maintenance is difficult - reading the pressure gauge is difficult.

Maintenance Proceed as follows for periodic cleaning of the strainer and inspection or replacement of the cartridge: 1 Shut off the reducer 2 Unscrew (anticlockwise) the calibrating screw to decompress the spring inside. 3 Unscrew the cover. 4 Extract the cartridge with the aid of pincers to grip the head of the screw. 5 The cartridge can be fitted back into the valve after inspection and cleaning or alternatively a replacement cartridge can be fitted. 6 Recalibrate the reducer.

Construction details Components The valve body is made of hot forged brass. The re-inforced rubber control diaphragm is formed in a shape permitting deformation to take place without creating stresses. The only sealing element of the compensating piston is in the upper part of the device, ensuring that impurities cannot be deposited. Manual / automatic opening In the lower part of the unit, a manual shut-off valve is provided, which can close off the supply to the system. The automatic condition of operation is restored when the valve is re-opened. The pressure level in the system will gradually return to the set calibration value.

Installation 1. Automatic filling unit code 553040/140 can be installed in either horizontal or vertical position. It is, however, vital that the unit is not installed upside down.

The unit is adjusted by means of the regulator located inside the top cover: rotating it in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction increases or decreases the pressure at which the unit operates. 2. When the system is being commissioned, the unit is normally calibrated at a pressure no lower than the hydrostatic pressure plus 0,3 bar. The internal mechanism will automatically regulate the pressure by closing down the supply on reaching the set value.

3. The system fills slowly, as the amount of water entering is in direct proportion to the amount of air vented. 4. When the system is filled, the shut-off valve can be closed. In order to restore the automatic top-up condition, merely re-open the valve. The pressure in the system will gradually return to the set pressure.

Function Pressure reducers are devices which, when installed on a water system, reduce and stabilise the pressure entering from the mains. This incoming pressure is generally too high and variable to be applied directly to domestic systems. A basic characteristic of a good pressure reducer is that it makes it possible to maintain constant downstream pressure when the upstream pressure varies.

When a draw-off point is opened on the water main, the force of the spring prevails over the opposing pressure of the membrane; the obturator moves downwards, allowing water to pass. The greater the demand for water, the lower the pressure under the membrane, thus permitting more fluid to flow through the obturator.

The obturator therefore closes, preventing the fluid from passing through and holding the pressure constant at the calibrated value. A minimum difference in favour of the force exercised by the membrane in relation to that of the spring causes the device to close.

Construction details Compensated seat Caleffi pressure reducing valves are supplied with compensated seats. This means that the set pressure value downstream remains constant independently of the variations in value of the pressure upstream.

In the figure, the thrust towards opening is counterbalanced by the closing pressure acting on the compensating piston. As the latter has a surface equal to that of the obturator, the two forces cancel each other out.

Noiseless The internal layout, designed to obtain the optimum fluid dynamic characteristics, has made it possible to achieve a noise level of less than 20 dB in all the tests carried out. Thanks to this quality, Caleffi reducing valves are approved to the I acoustic group, in compliance with the EN 1567 European standard.

Sliding surfaces The components most subject to wear due to the friction of moving parts are PTFE coated. This treatment considerably increases the life of the pressure reduction device.

Low pressure losses The internal fluid-dynamic shape of the reducing valve makes it possible to attain low pressure losses even when a large number of draw-off points are open. This characteristic is important in relation to the high pressure losses caused by various devices present in modern systems, for example thermostatic mixers, which make it necessary to install reducers with minimum pressure losses.

Removable cartridge The cartridge containing the membrane, filter, seat, obturator and adjusting piston can be removed for maintenance and strainer cleaning purposes.

High pressures The zone exposed to the upstream pressure is constructed in such a way that it can operate at high pressure. Thanks to the PTFE anti-extrusion rings on the compensating piston, the valve can be used in continuous service with upstream pressures of up to 25 bar.

Seat seal The fluid passage seat on which the obturator operates is made of stainless steel, which ensures the long-lasting operation of the device.

Certification Pressure reducing valves are certified in accordance with the requirements of the EN 1567 European standard.

The steps to be taken for correct dimensioning are as follows: Calculate the total flow on the basis of the number and types of appliance present in the system, adding up their individual typical flow rates.

When sizing pressure reducing valves, it is advisable to keep the velocity of flow in the pipes at between 1 and 2 m/s. This prevents both noise in the pipework and rapid wear in the point of use equipment. The size of the pressure reducing valve is determined by means of graph 1, starting with the design flow figure and remembering that the ideal velocity is between 1 and 2 m/s (blue band).

Using graph 2, still starting with the design flow figure, identify the pressure drop, intersecting the curve relating to the size already selected (the downstream pressure falls by a value equal to the pressure drop in relation to the zero flow set pressure).

Reference conditions:

Pressure upstream = 8 bar Pressure downstream = 3 bar

In order to prevent over-sizing of the pressure reducing valve and pipework, a simultaneous-use correction factor should be taken into account. In essence, the greater the number of users of the system, the lower the percentage of draw-off points opened at the same time. Table showing simultaneous-use factors as %

Installation 1 Prior to installation, open all the draw-off taps to empty the system and expel any air remaining in the pipework. 2 Install shut-off valves upstream and downstream to assist in future maintenance operations. 3 Install the pressure reducing valve in any position except upside down.

Trouble-shooting Some faults, which are usually due to the lack of suitable system safeguards, are sometimes incorrectly attributed to pressure reducing valves. The most frequent cases are: 1. Increased pressure downstream of the pressure reducing valve when a water heater is installed This problem is due to the overheating of the water caused by the water heater. The pressure cannot leak, as the reducing valve is properly closed. The solution is to install an expansion vessel (between the reducer and the water heater) to absorb the pressure increase.

4 Close the downstream shut-off valve. 5 Calibrate by means of the spring pressure regulating nut located under the head cover, turning with a 10 mm hexagonal Allen key clockwise to increase the set value or anticlockwise to reduce it. 6 Check the required pressure on the pressure gauge. (Caleffi reducers come factory set at 3 bar). Installation recommendations 1. Installation in pits Installing pressure reducing valve inside pits is not recommended, for two reasons: - it is very difficult, if not impossible, to read the pressure gauge. - impurities may enter the device through the pressure relief outlet in the head cover. 2. Water hammer This is one of the main causes of failure of pressure reducing valves. During the installation of at risk systems, the use of specific devices designed to absorb water hammer should be provided for. 2. The pressure reducing valve does not maintain the set value In the majority of cases, this problem arises from the presence of impurities on the seat seal causing leakage and consequent increases in the pressure downstream. The solution consists of the preventive installation of a filter upstream of the pressure reducing valve and subsequently of maintenance and cleaning of the removable cartridge (see maintenance).

Maintenance For cleaning, inspection or replacement of the entire cartridge: 1 Isolate the pressure reducing valve. 2 Unscrew the spring pressure regulating nut to release the spring tension. 3 Remove the head cover. 4 Extract the cartridge using two screwdrivers. 5 After inspection and cleaning if necessary, the complete cartridge can be refitted or replaced using a spare cartridge. 6 Recalibrate the pressure reducing valve.

Construction characteristics Valve The hydraulic seal on the control spindle is guaranteed by a PTFE gland nut and an EPDM O-Ring. Control knob The knob is push-located on the control spindle by means of simple manual pressure, without any fixing screws. Dismantling for any operations on the gland or for replacement is very easy.

CALEFFI
01031/05 GB
Replaces 01031/00 GB

Function Automatic air vent valves are designed to remove the air that accumulates in heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems without the need for manual intervention. This prevents harmful phenomena that may compromise the life and the performance of the heating system and which include: - corrosion due to the oxygen; - pockets of air trapped in the heating emitters; - cavitation in the circulation pumps; - noise from air passing through the pipes. These high capacity air vent valves are ideal for use in large piping systems and can also be installed in horizontal sections.

Operating principle The accumulation of air bubbles in the valve body causes the float to drop and thus the obturator to open. This phenomenon occurs, and consequently the valve functions correctly, as long as the water pressure remains below the maximum discharge pressure.

Filter As shown in the drawing, the air to be vented is forced through a fine mesh filter before arriving at the obturator. This device greatly reduces the risk of leakage from the seal due to metal chips, hemp fibres, plaster flakes, etc., becoming lodged between the seat and the obturator.

Construction details Anticorrosive materials The valve body and cover are made of hot forged brass whilst the filter, obturator stem, float and spring are all made of stainless steel to prevent rust from forming and later detaching and clogging the seal seat filter. Threaded outlet For installation at the top of risers and/or in attics, the air vent valve is equipped with a threaded outlet (1) that shall be connected to a vent pipe. Protection against foreign objects The vent outlet is equipped with a mechanism (2) to protect against dust and down, which may collect at the bottom of the valve over time and thus obstruct the vent. Vent valve The slide surfaces of the vent valve (3) have been ground to minimise friction and prevent the formation of harmful encrustations. O-Rings For maintenance purposes, the seals between the body and cover (4) and the vent unit and cover (5) are equipped with large cross-section O-rings.

Operating principle The water almost entirely fills the inside of the valve body and keeps the float (1), totally immersed in it, in a horizontal position. The build-up of air bubbles inside the valve makes the float end (1) rotate downward. This motion puts the float into contact with the control stem and rim (2), strictly connected to the control stem, this opening the obturator (3). This action, as well as correct valve operation, is ensured as long as the water pressure remains under the maximum discharge pressure value.

Protective cage The acetal resin cage (4) protects the float (1) from knocks when the plug is screwed into the heater unit.

Installation The plug performs its function correctly when the valve is in a vertical position. The hygroscopic cap functions correctly when fully screwed on (as supplied by the manufacturer). We also recommend it is replaced regularly.

Hygroscopic safety cap All models are supplied with a hygroscopic safety cap. The operating principle is based on the properties of the cellulose fibre discs forming the sealing cartridge (5). These discs increase in volume by 50% when 5 they come into contact with water, thus closing the valve.

Dry obturator The position of the float and the other internal parts allow the obturator (3) to always remain clear of the water, so as to limit the risks caused by the infiltration of impurities present in the water.

Therefore, friction is minimised in the event of 4 limescale build-up. This system ensures correct operation of the device over long periods of time.

Installation - Air is vented from the system by turning the plug on the air outlet anticlockwise by one complete turn from the fully closed position. Air is automatically vented if the cap is kept in this position. - It is recommended that the air vents are not fitted in places difficult to inspect and at risk of freezing.

Float with anti rotation and anti vibration system The float is fitted so that when it is in rest position the obturator is not affected by any external movement.

Accessories Dry obturator The positioning of the float and the internal parts is such that the water never reaches the obturator itself. This prevents faults caused by the infiltration of impurities present in the fluid. - Series 561 shut off valves are available for the 3/8 and 1/2 sizes. - The anti suction valve code 562200, is available for all air vents in the ROBOCAL series.

Function Thermostatic valves are typically used for regulating the fluid flow to the radiators of central heating systems. They are provided with a regulating element which automatically controls the opening of the valve to keep the ambient temperature of the room where they are installed constant at the set value. This prevents unwanted temperature rises and achieves considerable energy savings. These valves have a special tailpiece with rubber hydraulic seal, permitting quick, safe connection to the radiator without the use of additional sealing materials.

The thermostatic valve control head is a proportional temperature regulator, consisting of bellows containing liquid. When the ambient temperature increases, the consequent build-up in pressure causes an expansion in volume in the bellows, which, in turn, dilate. When the temperature falls, the reverse takes place; the bellows contract due to the effect of the thrust generated by the return spring. The axial movement of the sensitive element is trasmitted to the valve obturator through the connecting spindle, thus regulating the flow of liquid to the heat emitter.

Construction details Valve The control stem is stainless steel with EPDM O-Ring double seal. This means that the upper part of the control device can be replaced even when the system is in operation. The obturator is shaped in such a way as to optimise the fluid-dynamic characteristics of the valve during the progressive opening and closing actions in thermostatic operation. The large passage between seat and obturator causes reduced pressure drops in manual use.

ISO 9001 FM 21654 ISO 9001 No. 0003

Function The flow rate metering device is used to measure the flow rate within a circuit. When used for central heating purposes, therefore, it allows monitoring of the thermal power supplied to the systems; in water treatment systems and industrial chemical or textile plants etc., it can be used to continuously monitor the water flowing through the circuits. This particular series of devices is equipped with quick-fit ports for easier differential pressure measurement.

The metering device contains a diaphragm that, by restricting the cross-section of the channel, speeds up the medium and generates an increased p (for measurement) at the ends, in order to guarantee precise flow rate metering. Each differential pressure value (measured at the ends of the diaphragm) has a corresponding accurate flow rate value, with the diaphragm Kv noted. The total head loss for the metering device is, however, very low since the length of the pipe downstream from the diaphragm allows the medium to slow down and increase the pressure again. C

Differential pressure measurement The differential pressure can be measured using any pressure gauge or meter capable of operating within the range 010 kPa (01000 mm w.g.; see adjacent figure). Whichever method or instrument is used, the air must be vented from the connection pipes to prevent errors when reading the differential pressure values.

If using liquids with a density different to that of water at 20C ( = 1 kg/dm3), the head loss value p measured may be corrected using the formula: p = p/ (1) where: p = reference head loss p = measured head loss = liquid density in kg/dm3 The value p is used when measuring flow rate G, using the graphs or the formula (2): G = Kv

Installation The metering device should be installed in the system during the initial setup phase, observing the flow direction indicated on its body and in accordance with the following instructions: - installation on the return pipe, in a position where it can be easily accessed for measurement purposes, with the pressure test ports facing upwards in order to prevent impurities from building up. The return water temperature has fewer variations, which increases measurement accuracy. - installation on a straight length of piping, either horizontally or vertically but not turned upside down, well away from twists or devices which may disrupt flow, particularly at the inlet, during measurement.

(2)

Example of correction for liquid with different density Metering device DN 100 Liquid density ' = 1,1 kg/dm3 Head loss measured on Venturi p = 3 kPa Let us use formula (1): Reference head loss p = 3/1,1 = 2,72 kPa This value is marked on the x-axis of the graph corresponding to the p measured with the Venturi (green line); the point at which this value meets the line for the DN 100 metering device indicates the corresponding flow rate G = 7 l/s on the y-axis. Similarly, by using formula (2): G' = 4028,96 10-3 Sizing method The size of the metering device should be selected so that, when operating at the design flow rate, it has a corresponding minimum measured p of 100 mm w.g. (1 kPa). Sometimes, to achieve this condition, it may be necessary to use a metering device with a diameter which is different to that of the pipe. In this case, a tapered fitting should be used (as illustrated in the figure below). 2,72 = 6,64 l/s

In thermal installations, the metering device can be used in supply systems with several risers, branches or zones, to monitor the value of the individual flow rates or wherever metering of heating costs is required. The rapid flow rate monitoring keeps the system at optimal running conditions, making it possible to identify balancing variations caused by lockshield valves or other balancing and regulation devices, or by tampering. The application diagrams at the end of the brochure indicate the optimal points for flow rate monitoring: 1) installation on the boiler circuit, 2) installation on each riser, for system balancing monitoring, 3) installation on the horizontal sections of supply columns, as an alternative to point 2, 4) installation on each zone, for balancing throughout the system.

Circuit balancing
DYNAMIC CIRCUIT BALANCING
Modern heating and air-conditioning systems have to guarantee a high level of thermal comfort with a low energy consumption. This means supplying the system terminal emitters with the correct design flow rates, to produce balanced hydraulic circuits.

Unbalanced circuits
In case of an unbalanced circuit, the hydraulic umbalance between emitters creates areas with temperatures which are not uniform, and, as a consequence, problems with thermal comfor t and higher energy consumption.

Circuits balanced with manual valves


Traditionally, hydraulic circuits are balanced using manual calibration valves. With these static-type devices, such circuits are difficult to balance per fectly and have operating limitations in case of partial closure by means of the regulating valves. The flow rate in the open circuits does not remain constant at the nominal value.

Circuits balanced with Autoflow


Autoflow balances the hydraulic circuit automatically, by ensuring to each ter minal emitter the design flow rate. Even in the case of partial circuit closure by means of the regulating valves, the flow rates in the open circuits remain constant at the nominal value . The system always guarantees the greatest comfort and the highest energy savings.

Autoflow devices
Function The AUTOFLOW device has to guarantee a constant flow rate when its upstream/downstream pressure differential varies. It is therefore necessary to refer to the p - flow rate diagram and to a basic diagram illustrating the operation methods and the relevant variable effects. Operating principle The regulating element of these devices is composed of a cilinder and a piston with fixed and variable geometry orifices, through which the fluid flows. The surface area of these orifices is governed by the piston movement when pushed by the flow. A specially calibrated spring counteracts this movement. Autoflows are high performance automatic regulators. They regulate selected flow rates within a very tight tolerance (approx. 5%) and offer a wide range of operation.

Below the control range

In this case, the regulating piston remains fully out without compressing the spring and gives the medium the maximum free flow area. In practice, the piston acts as a fixed regulator and thus the flow through the AUTOFLOW depends solely on the differential pressure.

Within the control range

If the differential pressure is contained within the control range, the piston compresses the spring and modulates the flow area to maintain regular flow at the nominal rate for which the AUTOFLOW is calibrated.

In this case, the piston fully compresses the spring and only allows flow through the fixed geometry orifice. As in the first case above, the piston acts as a fixed regulator. The flow rate through the AUTOFLOW thus depends solely on the differential pressure.

Selecting the control range or p range of the AUTOFLOW device


Autoflow devices are available with different control ranges, so as to satisfy a wide array of system requirements. By definition, the control range is contained between two differential pressure values: p range: p start p end

The choice must be made taking into account the following: differential pressure at the start of the control range. This value must be added to the fixed loss of head in the circuit in the most unfavourable conditions. In this case it is necessary to evaluate the available pump head. differential pressure at the end of the control range. If this value is exceeded the Autoflow spring is fully compressed and the device no longer performs any regulating action. It will be necessary to switch to a higher control range. The following Autoflow control ranges are available. 7100 kPa 0,071 bar 14220 kPa 0,142,20 bar 35410 kPa 0,354,10 bar Can be used in sealed circuits served by pumps with a limited head. For example in small heating systems with wall-mounted boilers that have their own internal circulator. Can be used in the majority of sealed systems. The ample control range allows it to be inserted with a minimum addition of differential pressure, amounting to 14 kPa (0.14 bar). Can be used in open systems, for example in water distribution systems or with high level of available head, for example in district heating systems. The high upper limit, 410 kPa (4,1 bar), makes proper operation possible within the control range.

Sizing the circuit with Autoflow

Sizing the circuit containing Autoflow valves is particularly easy to accomplish. As illustrated alongside by the example diagrams, calculation of the loss of head in order to choose the pump is made by referring to the hydraulically most unfavourable circuit and by adding this value to the minimum differential pressure required by the Autoflow. In the example the circuits have the same nominal flow rate. The Autoflow devices, located on intermediate circuits, automatically absorb the excess differential pressure to ensure the corresponding nominal flow rate. As the regulating valves open or close, the Autoflow repositions itself dynamically to maintain the nominal flow rate (50% load = circuits 3, 5, 7, 8 closed). For more detailed information on sizing a system with Autoflow, please refer to the 2nd volume of the Handbooks Caleffi and the technical bulletin Dynamic balancing of hydronic circuits. They give theoretical calculations, numerical examples and notes on the application of the above-mentioned devices in circuits.

Construction details Steel regulator The flow rate regulator is made entirely of steel, suitable for use in airconditioning and plumbing systems. It is fully compatible with the glycols and additives used in the circuits. Wide range of working pressures The regulator is able to provide precise regulation of the flow rate over a wide range of working pressures. It is factory calibrated to keep the flow rate automatically within 5% of the set value. For these reasons it can be used in system circuits both at zone branching and directly at the terminal emitters. Ball valve The control stem of the ball valve is blow-proof and the reversible closing lever is covered with vinyl. If there are any insulated pipes, it can be changed with the extended lever series 117. Replaceable cartridge The internal regulator is assembled in the form of a one-piece cartridge so as to permit easy removal from the body for inspection or replacement.

Pressure ports - checking flow rate Known the device dynamic characteristics, it is sufficient to check the differential pressure from upstream to downstream, using the pressure provided ports (1) - (2). If the differential pressure is contained within the control range (range p) indicated on the data plate, then the through flow rate is equal to the nominal value. G To take the measurement, Range p simply use a differential GNominal pressure gauge. Series 100 snap-on pressure test ports and a Flomet 130 series electronic p measuring device can be used as accessories. p (kPa)

Fluid-dynamic characteristics Hydraulic characteristics table for 656 actuator + valve body.

Installation - The thermo-electric actuator should be tightened by hand without the use of tools. - The thermo-electric actuator should not be dismantled for possible repair. Such interference could lead to permanent damage. - The actuator should always be fitted in a horizontal or vertical position, never upside-down. In chilled water circuits, positions which allow condensation to get into the actuator are not advisable. - For the correct functioning of the actuator, the electrical circuit shoul be sized on the basis of the starting current. - If it is necessary to control multiple zones with actuators in parallel using the same thermostat, the possibility of including an intermediate relay to prevent electrical overload should be considered. - In assemblies with zone valves or manifolds in manifold boxes, a space of at least 20 mm between the thermo-electric actuator and the frame should be left for possible servicing or replacement.

Recommendations for use - When thermo-electric actuators are to be installed on devices which shut-off heat emitters automatically, it is always advisable to use a differential by-pass to control the over-pressure of the system during the partial or total closure of the circuits. For pre-assembled manifolds series 663-668, a differential by-pass with a fixed calibration setting of 2000 mm w.g. is available (code 663000).

Heating & Plumbing Components

Applications The rotameter (1 to 4 l/min flow rate meter) can be fitted to distribution manifolds for radiant panel or underfloor heating systems. When fitted to the return manifold it can be used to read off the actual flow rate values in each individual circuit during the commissioning operation and at the same time to achieve perfect balancing of the whole system.

Operation The rotameter has a 3/4 BSP union connection which is attached to the manifold and the sealing is achieved by the O-Ring on the convex spigot. The union connection was chosen to allow for possible dismantling allowing the rotameter to be withdrawn from the front. The lower connection consists of a 3/4 BSP male thread with an internal shape which can be connected to the Series 680 fittings for plastic tubes. Balancing is achieved by operating the adjusting valve on the flow manifold until the set flow rate is reached. The flow rate is read off on the transparent cylinder when the lower part of the float corresponds to the desired value in litres per minute.

Construction The body is made of hot stamped brass and the transparent tube and internal protection are made of Polysulphone. The float indicator is made of Hostaform/PTFE. All the seals are made of silicone rubber. General data Maximum operating pressure: 6 bar Maximum operating temperature: 80C Flow rate range: 1 to 4 l/min Accuracy: 10%

Es. ch. 30 3/4"

If over a period of time it becomes necessary to check the flow rate or to carry out a new balancing operation and the float is no longer visible because of deposits on the transparent section, an auxiliary graduated scale can be used. If the knurled ring nut is turned to the left a second yellow scale appears which is always clean thanks to an airtight protection which prevents any contact with the water of the system during normal operation. After taking the reading it is important to return the ring nut to its original position (white scale).

Function Distribution manifolds for radiant panel systems are used to optimally distribute the heating fluid in floor heating system circuits and ultimately improve the control of heat emission from the panels. The manifolds ensure that the flow to each circuit is regulated precisely and also control the shut-off, venting and automatic removal of air from the system. Special solutions devised during sizing have also enabled depth to be reduced and connection between manifold and branches facilitated.

Construction details Flow manifold The micrometric regulating valve obturator is made of plastic (POM) and features an upside down V channel (1) to provide greater precision when regulating the flow delivered to the floor system circuits. This solution offers the following advantages with respect to the traditional conically shaped obturator: - greater precision, particularly for the low flow rates usually encountered in this kind of system. - proportional flow rates due to the ability to mould the fluid passage profiles. Exterior shape of the manifolds and mounting brackets The exterior of the manifold deserves special mention because it can be cast in any shape to meet any requirements. In the example shown below, indentations have been created in the manifold to correspond to the plastic pipes exiting from the upper manifold, thus partially accommodating the pipes and reducing their overall thickness. This does not interfere with the pressure loss values because the sections with the indentations (a) are equal to the sections in which the pipes are branched (b) and (c) and where the regulating parts (micrometric regulating and shut-off valve obturators) obstruct the passage of the fluid.

b a c

- absolute dimensional consistency during manufacture due to the die-cast obturator.

Return manifold The return manifold is equipped with manual shut-off valves (1) which are used to shut off the flow to individual circuits. They can also be used with a thermoelectric actuator which, when used with an ambient thermostat, maintains the ambient temperature at the set limits when thermal load varies. The obturator stem (2) is made of polished stainless steel to minimise friction and prevent harmful encrustation from forming. 1 The control device upper part features a double EPDM O-ring seal (3) (4) on the 3 sliding stem. The obturator (5) is made of EPDM and is moulded to 4 optimise the hydraulic characteristics of the valve and reduce noise to a 2 minimum as the fluid passes through and as it gradually opens and closes 5 when operating with a thermo-electric actuator.

The partial accommodation of the pipes in the indentations created in the manifold is further enhanced by the shape of the mounting brackets, which are slanted to create a 25 mm offset between the upper and lower manifolds. As shown in the figure below, this offset positions the pipes so that they perfectly match the profile of the manifold during installation.

Hydraulic characteristics To determine the hydraulic characteristics of the circuit, we must calculate the total pressure loss experienced by the flow of fluid as it passes through the manifold unit parts and the radiant panel circuits. From a hydraulic standpoint, the manifold unit and circuits can be shown as an assembly of hydraulic elements that are arranged in series and parallel to each other.

Example of how to calculate the total pressure loss Suppose we need to calculate the pressure loss of a manifold with three circuits with the following characteristics: Total manifold flow: 400 l/h The flow and pressure loss characteristics of the three piping loops are as follows: Circuit 1 P1= 10 kPa G1= 120 l/h Circuit 2 P2= 15 kPa G2= 200 l/h Circuit 3 P3= 7 kPa G3= 80 l/h

(1.2)

Each segment of the formula (1.1), is calculated using the following relationship: P=G2/Kv0,012 G= flow in l/h P = pressure loss in kPa (1 kPa =100 mm w.g.) Kv0,01 = flow in l/h through the device in question, with a pressure loss of 1 kPa Note that the PTot must be calculated taking into account the circuit with the greatest pressure losses distributed along the entire piping loop of the panel. The circuit in question in our example is circuit 2. Thus: PMV PLoop PSV PFM PRM PBV = = = = = = 2002/1152 = 3 kPa 15 kPa 2002/2872 = 0,5 kPa 4002/24002 = 0,03 kPa 4002/33502 = 0,01 kPa 4002/47502 = 0,007 kPa

} Values obtained disregarding variations due to flow rate delivered to each branch circuit

Using the formula (1.1) we can add all the calculated terms to obtain: PTot= 3 +15 + 0,5 + 0,03 + 0,01 + 0,0071 18,5 kPa Note: We can ignore the three terms for the pressure losses associated with the ball valves and manifolds because their values are so low. Generally speaking, the total pressure loss is fairly close to the pressure loss of the branched circuit of the panel.

Use of the micrometric balancing valve The micrometric balancing valves balance each individual circuit in the panels so that the actual design flow is obtained in each one. Each individual circuit consists of a micrometric balancing valve, panel piping and shut-off valve. The following information must be taken into account in order to calibrate the system correctly: The flow of fluid that must pass through each circuit (design data). The pressure loss that occurs in each circuit in accordance with the flow: PCircuit = PLoop + PSV The available head on the panel circuit or predetermined head: HPredetermined PCircuit In accordance with the passage of the flow GLoop the micrometric valve must ensure an additional pressure loss in all the circuits equal to the difference, indicated as PMV (p micrometric valve). To allow for an eventual increase in flow, the micrometric valve of the circuit with the greatest pressure loss may sometimes be considered as 80% open. Once the two pieces of information, PMV and GLoop, are known for each circuit, the optimal adjustment curve corresponding to the adjustment position of the valve must be chosen from the graph.

Example of preregulating the valve Suppose that we need to balance three circuits that have the same pressure loss and loop flow characteristics shown in example (1.2): Since circuit 2 is the most disadvantaged because it experienced the greatest pressure loss in the panel piping, the remaining circuits must be adjusted as follows: Circuit 2 PLoop = 15 kPa G2 = 200 l/h PMV = 2002/1152 = 3 kPa PSV = 2002/2872 = 0,5 kPa With the relationship (1.4): PCircuit = 3 + 15 + 0,5 = 18,5 kPa

Operating principle A spring (1) connected to a float (2) is located inside the flow meter. The force applied by the water to the float as it flows through the flow meter is countered in proportion to the force applied by the spring. When the flow becomes stabilised at a particular value, the float reaches a specific position of equilibrium which also serves as an indicator. The system is balanced by moving the calibration valve on the flow manifold until it corresponds to the design flow, which can be read on the graduated scale printed on the transparent cylinder (3). The flow (l/min) readout value corresponds to the lower edge of the float.

Installation

The flow meter must always be installed in a vertical position with the flow indication arrow pointing up (7) to ensure the greatest accuracy when measuring the flow.

- Kv = flow in m3/h for a pressure loss of 1 bar - Kv0,01 = flow in l/h for a pressure loss of 1 kPa

Construction details Easy installation The flow meter is equipped with a captive nut (4) that is mounted onto the manifold and sealed with an O-ring (5) mounted on the tail piece. The captive nut solution simplifies assembly because it allows the flow meter to be mounted at the front of the manifold without having to change the optimal readout position. Dual readout scale The flow meter is equipped with a spare graduated scale that can be used if flow needs to be checked or the system rebalanced but the float can no longer be seen due to deposits on the transparent cylinder. Turning the knurled nut (6) to the left will bring into view another scale in yellow that always stays clean due to the hermetic seal that prevents water from entering while the system is operating. The nut must be returned into the original position on the white scale after reading the measurement.

Construction details Versatility of pipe-fitting This fitting has been specifically designed to adapt to several pipe diameters. The large variety of simple and multi-layer plastic pipes available on the market and the wide range of permissible tolerances have made it necessary to find an innovative solution for mechanical fittings. While maintaining the nominal dimensions of the fittings currently available on the market, this new solution has been constructed so that the same fitting can be used for pipes with differences on external diameters of up to 2 mm and differences on internal diameters of up to 0,5 mm. Resistance to pull out This adapter offers a high degree of resistance to pull out of pipe. Its special clamping system makes it suitable for every application and ensures a leak tight fit. Low pressure losses The internal profile of the adapter (1) has been shaped to obtain a Venturi effect when the fluid passes through, reducing pressure losses by 20% compared to those created by passages with a similar diameter.

Insulation ring The fitting is equipped with a rubber insulation element (2) to prevent contact between the aluminium in the multi-layer pipe and the brass fitting, thus preventing galvanic corrosion generated by the two different metals. Dual O-ring seal The adapter is equipped with two O-ring seals (3) and (4) in EPDM to prevent leaks even when operating at high pressure.

Off-centre bypass assembly with fixed setting code 668000


Function The distribution circuits of the heating fluid in radiant panel systems may be totally or partially shut off by closing the thermoelectric valves inside the manifolds. When the flow decreases, the differential pressure inside the circuit may rise to levels that could cause problems with noise, high rates of fluid speed, mechanical erosion and hydraulic imbalance of the system itself. The differential bypass kit for series 668 manifolds maintains the pressure of the flow and return manifold circuits in balance if the flow changes. The valve can be quickly connected to the series 668 manifolds, reducing overall size to a minimum.

Operating principle The by-bass valve contains a non-return obturator connected to a contrast spring. When the fixed setting pressure is reached, the valve obturator gradually opens, recirculating the flow in proportion to the closing of the thermo-electric valves and maintaining a constant differential pressure in the manifold circuit.

510 series
ACCREDITED

ISO 9001 FM 21654 ISO 9001 No. 0003

Function The anti-thermosiphon check valve prevents the natural circulation of water in systems where ambient temperature adjustment is carried out by a thermostat connected to the pump. The anti-thermosiphon check valve allows water to reach the heat emitters only when the pump is running: when the pump is not running, the check valve is activated and the system remains separate from the heat generator. The check valve function can be overridden using the corresponding knob and the valve can be used with straight or angled connections by moving the relevant cap.

Mass (kg) 0,65 0,53 0,82

Operating principle The anti-thermosiphon check valve body houses a special hydraulically-shaped check obturator (1). During normal circulation of the medium (while the pump is running), the obturator is pushed against the counter-acting spring inside it, so as to open the channel to allow the medium to flow through. When the pump stops running and the flow of medium stops, the obturator is pushed in the opposite direction, against the seal seat (2), in order to prevent medium backflow. In this way, the obturator completely shuts off the flow of medium through the special contoured seal (3). Knob (4) can be used to deactivate obturator intervention, by turning the control stem (5) by 180 to keep the channel always open.

Construction details Silent operation Thanks to the ogival hydraulic shape of the obturator, the anti-thermosiphon check valve guarantees silent operation. Quick operation The seal positioned on the obturator and the couter-acting spring located inside the obturator ensure there are no delays in closure and guarantee an watertight seal, even when slight back pressure is applied. Non-sensitivity to impurities The sliding parts, thanks to a special coupling, are not sensitive to the small impurities in the water, or to the deposits which can form as a result of prolonged periods of inactivity.

General Series 541 (98C) fuel shut-off valves are made by Caleffi S.p.A. in compliance with the essential safety requirements of Directive 97/23/CE of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for the harmonisation of the member states with regard to pressurised equipment. Function The Caleffi series 541 fuel shut-off valve is a fail-safe safety device with pre-set calibration. This valve, installed in the burner fuel supply pipework, shuts off the flow of fuel when the temperature of the heat-carrying fluid reaches the calibrated value of the sensor. As this is a fail-safe device in the case of damage to the sensor assembly, the fuel supply pipe is automatically closed. This valve can be used with different types of fuel and is also available in versions for superheated water. Sizes 1/22 Sizes DN 65 and DN 80 Sizes DN 65 and DN 80

Series 541 valves are positive action (fail-safe) devices; if the sensor element is damaged or the capillary is broken, the fail-safe action consists of an upward movement of the control unit, thus triggering the actuator, which in turn closes the valve. If this situation occurs, the valve must be replaced.

Installation The fuel shut-off valve must be installed by competent technical personnel qualified in accordance with current legislation. The valve sensor must be installed at the top of the boiler or in the flow pipework within 0,5 m of the boiler, upstream of any other shut-off control.

I.S.P.E.S.L. mark The fuel shut-off valve (in our case the valves calibrated to 98C and 120C) is a component which is I.S.P.E.S.L. approved. Devices of this type are covered by the following types of document: The approval certificate is the document issued by the I.S.P.E.S.L. which attests to the positive result of the tests carried out on the prototype sample and consequently certifies that the series in question has been approved. The document is valid for five years. Every item of the series covered by the certificate, which is manufactured during the five years validity period, is approved for an indefinite period. The bench calibration report is the document confirming the testing of each individual device included in the approved series. The test is carried out in the presence of an I.S.P.E.S.L. inspector who draws up the report after the test has been passed. The document gives the serial number of the valve, which is also to be found on the plate fixed to the valve body. There is only one copy of the report and it is therefore vital for it to be kept with the valve.

The valve is installed in the fuel supply pipework, in line with the flow direction indicated by the arrow, even if it is in the vertical position. When installing the device, appropriate precautions must be taken to ensure that the capillary connecting the sensor to the valve does not become squashed or excessively bent. In order to prevent tampering or accidental leaks of the sensor, the latter must be sealed in the pocket (the seal and the securing wire are included in the package).

References to I.S.P.E.S.L. standards Series 541, calibration 98C Use: hot water systems (temperature < 100C) - section R ed. 82 (R.2.A. 4) The fuel shut-off valve is used in the following types of open vented system: - Hot water heating systems where the safety pipe runs downwards (R3A 1.14). - Hot water heating systems in existence on the date of the coming into force of D.M. 1-12-75, where the safety pipe, although having a minimum diameter greater than 18 mm, does not permit discharge into the atmosphere of the maximum quantity of vapour which can be produced in relation to the capacity of the boiler (R3A 3.1). It is not used in sealed systems: - In secondary circuits in heat exchangers supplied with fluids at a temperature above 100C with controls on the secondary or where automatic on/off control is not excluded. In these cases a temperature relief valve must be installed. Series 541 calibration 120-140-160-180C Use: superheated water systems (temperature >100C) - section H ed. 82 (H.4. 4) The fuel shut-off device is used in all types of open vented and sealed systems, except for those fed by solid fuel or with heat sources other than fire.

Legionella-scalding risk In systems producing domestic hot water with storage, in order to avoid the dangerous infection known as Legionella, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria causing this infection will be totally eliminated. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. As shown on the diagram opposite, temperatures of more than 50C can cause burning very quickly. For example, at 55C partial burning will occurr in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burning will occurr in approximately 5 seconds. The time may be reduced by 50 percent or more for children and elderly people. In view of the above, it is necessary to install a thermostatic mixing valve which can: reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value lower than that of storage and suitable for sanitary users. For safety reasons, it is advisable to limit the mixed water temperature to 50C; maintain the temperature constant when the incoming pressure and temperature conditions vary.

Thermal disinfection The diagram opposite shows the behaviour of the bacteria Legionella Pneumophila when the temperature conditions of the water in which it is contained vary. In order to ensure proper thermal disinfection, the values must not be below 60C.

Energy saving Energy saving is regulated by D.P.R. n 412/93 (Italy) which makes the use of mixers obligatory on domestic hot water distribution units with storage which are not otherwise regulated, to restrict to 48C, with a tolerance of +5C, the temperature of the water flowing into the distribution system. The purpose of this temperature limitation is to reduce as much as possible passive losses through the distribution system, and to avoid delivery of water which is hotter than required.

Operating principle The controlling element of the thermostatic mixing valve is a 0,1 temperature sensor fully immersed in the mixed water outlet tube which, as it expands or contracts, continuously establishes the correct proportion of hot and cold water entering the valve. The regulation of these flows is by means of a piston sliding in a cylinder between the hot and cold water passages. Even Code 521400/500 when there are pressure drops due to the drawing off of hot or cold water for other uses, or variations in the incoming temperature, the mixer automatically regulates the water flow to obtain the required temperature.

Construction details Anti-scale materials The material used in the construction of the mixer eliminate the problem of jamming caused by lime deposits. All the working parts such as shutter, seats and slide guides are made of a special anti-scale material, with a low friction coefficient, guaranteeing that the performance will be maintained over the long term. Temperature setting and locking The control knob permits temperature setting between minimum and maximum in one turn (360). It also has a tamper-proof system to lock the temperature at the set value.

Instant production of hot water The Caleffi series 521 thermostatic mixing valves cannot be used in conjunction with boilers with instant production of domestic hot water. Their addition would compromise the correct operation of the boiler itself.

Installation Before installing the mixer, the pipework must be flushed to ensure that no circulating impurities can harm its operation. It is always advisable to install filters of suitable capacity where the water enters the water system. Mixers codes 521115/22 have filters on the hot and cold water inlets. Series 521 thermostatic mixing valves must be installed in accordance with the installation diagrams given in the instruction sheet or in this leaflet. Series 521 thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, either vertical or horizontal. The following are shown on the body of the mixer: hot water inlet, colour red, marked HOT cold water inlet, colour blue, marked COLD mixed water outlet marked MIX.

Use The Caleffi series 521 thermostatic mixing valves, given their flow characteristics, can be installed to control temperature either for individual uses (e.g. washbasin, bidet, shower) or for multiple uses. Warning: wherever an antiscald feature is required, Caleffi series 5212 high performance thermostatic mixing valves need to be installed. In order to guarantee the delivery of water mixed at the set temperature, the thermostatic mixing valves must have a minimum flow rate of 5 l/min.

Check valves In order to prevent undesirable backsiphonage, check valves should be installed in systems with thermostatic mixing valves. Thermostatic mixing valves 521503 and 521115/22 have built-in check valves on the hot and cold water inlets.

Commissioning In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current standards by qualified personnel using temperature measuring equipment. Use of a digital thermometer is recommended for measurement of the mixed water temperature.

Temperature stability The diagram below shows the stability of the temperature of the mixed water on variation of the temperature of the stored water.

Operating principle The 455 series valve can be used in both one-pipe and two-pipe distribution systems. In one-pipe systems, radiators are connected in series with respect to the same manifold outlet. However the 455 series valve, when configured for this type of system, sends only the 50% of the flow rate (30% with thermostatic control head) to the radiator, whereas the remaining medium is by-passed and conveyed to the next radiator. In this way the radiators can be shut off individually (for isolation or maintenance) while allowing radiators further

downstream in the system to continue operating. Furthermore, the temperature can be regulated automatically using thermostatic control heads or thermo-electric actuators. In two-pipe systems, all radiators are connected in parallel with respect to all the manifold outlets. In this type of system, the 455 series valve sends to the radiator the 100% of the inlet flow rate. The 455 series valve, in two-pipe mode, incorporates in a single device the dual function of a convertible valve and a lockshield valve, a feature of systems where the medium inlet valve is connected to the radiator upper connection and the lockshield valve to the lower connection.

Conversion of valve from one-pipe to two-pipe mode The valve is converted from one-pipe to two-pipe mode by shutting off the by-pass (1) on the mobile sleeve (2) located above the outlet connections (3). The valve is provided preconfigured for one-pipe function, e.g. with the sleeve (2) in the forward position and the by-pass (1) open. To convert the valve from the one-pipe factory configuration to the twopipe configuration, remove the plastic cap (4) and fully unscrew the sleeve (2) to the withdrawn position, by turning the outermost 10 mm hexagonal head screw. To revert to the one-pipe configuration, carry out the procedure in reverse order, fully screwing down the sleeve to the forward position.

Radiator shut-off The radiator can be isolated, for maintenance or other operations, by fully closing the obturator (1) using the knob (2) and, after having removed the plug (4), shutting off the lockshield (3) using the 5 mm Allen key. In this configuration, the flow rate still reaches the heat emitters further downstream via the by-pass (5).

Two-pipe application

One-pipe application In the one-pipe configuration, the 50% of the flow rate circulating in the ring passes through the radiator (30% with thermostatic control head). The figure below shows the path taken by the medium: the water enters from the right-hand connection (1) and is divided into two parts. One part is by-passed (2) and sent to the next radiator via the left-hand connection (3), the second part enters the radiator passing through the obturator (4) (controlled using the knob (5)) and the probe (6). After the heat exchange, the medium exits the radiator through the apertures outside the probe (7) and, mixing with the by-passed flow rate, reaches the downstream radiator. In the one-pipe configuration, the pipe connections are interchangeable, therefore the valve can be used with flows in opposite directions to those indicated in the figure, in order to adapt it to any installation requirement. Using the 455 series valve in combination with a thermostatic control head, the flow rate entering the radiator is reduced from 50% to 30% of the flow rate arriving at the radiator inlet. This is due to an increase in head losses caused by the continuous modulation of the thermostatic control head.

In the two-pipe configuration, the 100% of the flow rate circulating in the pipe also passes through the heat emitter. In this version it is suggested that the connection (1) nearest the radiator is used as the inlet (flow) connection. The medium enters the radiator through the aperture (2) outside the probe (3), circulates in the radiator to achieve the heat exchange and exits the radiator via the probe (3), passing through the obturator (4) (controlled using the knob (5)) and the outermost connection (6). In the two-pipe configuration, circuit balancing may be required on each radiator by means of the lockshield on each valve. To perform this operation, first remove the plastic end cap (7) and fully screw down the pre-regulation lockshield valve (8) using a 5 mm Allen key. Balancing is achieved by unscrewing the lockshield (8) by the number of turns needed to reach the desired flow rate value.

Construction details Versatile installation The 455 series valve can be installed in both new and old systems. The tilted control knob reduces the overall dimensions of the valve, enabling it to be used in confined spaces. The 455 series valve is suitable in the case of building renovations or modernisation of existing heating systems. The system can be constructed by laying out the pipes in the floor slab only or by using the skirting board to route the pipes, leaving the walls intact.

Conversion to thermostatic valve The 455 series valves can be converted to thermostatic valves applying the thermostatic control heads 200, 201 and 202 series instead of the manual control knob. The thermostatic control head can be used with the pipe connections either facing the wall or pointing to the floor. The sensor built into the control head is far enough from the valve body and is able to perform a correct ambient temperature reading, without being influenced by the heat radiated by the valve body itself.

Sizing method Valve sizing To correctly size the system, 455 series valves are chosen by identifying the overall head loss, according to the flow rate, by means of the hydraulic characteristic diagrams in the left-hand column of the previous page. The overall head losses of the valve, used in combination with the thermostatic control head, have been calculated with a proportional band of 2K (EN 215 standard). Probe sizing After having checked with the manufacturer whether the radiator is suitable for installation in a mono or two-pipe system, the correct operation of the valve is guaranteed by the structure of the body and by the body-probe connection, whereas the length of the probe does not affect the performance of the valve and is therefore appropriate. Nevertheless the probe can be extended by means of the 453 series extension, even if this is not strictly necessary. Installation The 455 series valves must always be installed with the probe horizontal, but the pipe connections can face the wall or point towards the floor.
2 3 4

Thermostatic control heads or thermo-electric actuators must always be installed in a horizontal position. The sensible element of thermostatic control heads must never be installed in niches, radiator cabinets, behind curtains or exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise false readings may occur.

Function The flow switch detects whether there is any flow in the piping and opens or closes an electrical contact. It is normally used in heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, water treatment, additive pumping and process systems in general. By means of the flow switch it is possible: to control devices such as pumps, burners, compressors, refrigerators, motorized valves; to turn on indicator and alarm devices and regulate equipments for dosing water additives. In heating systems, especially, the flow switch has the objective of switching the burner off in case of a lack of medium circulation within the water heater circuit. A lack of circulation would otherwise impair the operation of the temperature-sensitive safety and protection devices.

Operating principle The flow switch is composed of a blade (1) integral with a control rod (2) connected, at the top, to an adjustable counter spring (3). The assembly, by turning around a pin under the action of the water flow, operates a microswitch contained in a protective casing (4). At rest, the counter spring keeps the microswitch contact open. When the increasing flow rate of the medium within the piping becomes equal or greater than the trip flow rate, the thrust (5) on the blade applied (1) by the flow overcomes the opposing force applied by the adjustable spring (3) thus making the microswitch contact close. With a decreasing flow rate, on reaching the trip flow rate values, the flow thrust on the blade is not enough to overcome the opposing force applied by the adjustable spring, so the blade returns to the rest position and the microswitch contact opens. The trip values for closing (increasing flow) and opening (decreasing flow) the microswitch contact can be modified by means of the adjusting screw (6).

Construction details Electric component protection A metal bellows (7) separates the electric and the hydraulic parts. Since this is the most stressed part that must prevent any contact between the medium and the electric components, it is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is moreover used in the construction of other mechanical components as well so as to make them immune from corrosion. Insulating protective cover The O-Ring seal (8) between the body and the cover, with a protection class of IP 54, ensures operation in particularly damp and dusty places. The insulating protective casing (4) on the microswitch avoids the risk of accidental contact when calibrating. Both the microswitch protection and the cover are made of self-extinguishing V-0 class plastic. Electric switchover contact The electric switchover contact indistinctly permits turning on or off any electric device at the trip flow rate. Setting screw The setting screw (6) allows easy adjustment of the trip flow rate as desired.

Reference standards In heating systems with a closed expansion tank, where circulation is ensured by motor pumps, the flow switch must be used to stop the heat supply to the generator when the pumps stop and there is no circulation. Water circulation is indeed essential for safety and temperature-sensitive protection devices such as thermostats, thermal discharge valves and fuel shut-off valves to work properly.

Setting The setting is made by turning the screw (1) clockwise to close the contacts at higher flow rates or anticlockwise for lower values. After making the adjustment, lock the setting screw with the ring nut (2). The operator is protected against accidental contact with electrical parts of the flow switch by an insulating protective cover (3) on the microswitch.

Installation The unit is equipped with a set of blades (1), to be used for different pipe diameters, particularly sized to allow easy installation and minimal head losses. For diameters equal to or greater than 3 (DN 80), it is necessary to add to the preassembled blades in increasing order the long blade (2) (supplied in the package), just cutting it to the size corresponding to the desired diameter.

The flow switch should preferably be installed on the pipe with the control rod upright, respecting the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the cover and on the body exterior. For blade proper operation it is necessary to install the flow switch by respecting the distance shown on the drawing, using a sleeve welded for total passage.

Trip flow rate (m3/h) for horizontal installation* When the trip flow rate is reached or exceeded with an increasing flow, contacts 1 and 3 of the microswitch close, while contacts 1 and 2 open.

Example of flow switch use in a refrigerating system or heat pump The flow switch is useful on machinery in general where water circulation is considered essential for the equipment to work properly. A typical example is the chiller unit shown in the figure. The two flow switches trip to stop the compressor from working if one of the following conditions occurs: - insufficient or no flow of cooling water in the condenser (danger of overheating) - insufficient or no flow of refrigerated water (danger of ice forming on the evaporator and liquid returning to the compressor suction side).

General Series 311, 312, 313, 314, 513, 514, 527 safety (pressure relief) valves are made by Caleffi S.p.A. in compliance with the essential safety requirements laid down by Directive 97/23/CE of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for harmonisation of member States with regard to pressurised equipment. Function Safety relief valves are typically used for controlling pressure on boilers in heating systems, on stored hot water cylinders in domestic hot water systems and in water systems generally. When the calibrated pressure is reached, the valve opens, and, by means of the discharge to atmosphere, prevents the pressure of the system from reaching levels which would be dangerous for the boiler and the components in the system itself. Series 527 valves are fail-safe devices, i.e. they are guaranteed to operate even in the case of wear or breakage of the diaphragm.

Safety relief valves for heating systems, I.S.P.E.S.L. approved and calibrated
Series 527 safety relief valves meet the technical requirements of point 2, chapter R.2.A. of section R 1982 Edition, technical application specification of Part II - D.M.:1/12/75. Operating details Discharge overpressure <10% The full discharge capacity of the valve must be reached at pressure values Ps<1,1Pset. This characteristic, combined with the particular range of calibration values, enables the correct valve to be selected for the maximum working pressure value of the system or the boiler. Closing differential <20% The valve must close again within pressure values Pr>0,8Pset. This characteristic makes it possible to limit the water loss from the system if the valve opens. Fail-safe action The performance of the valve is guaranteed even in the case of wear or breakage of the diaphragm. Increased outlet diameter This feature makes the reduction in the discharge capacity or the variation in behaviour on opening or closing negligible due to the fitting of discharge pipework.

I.S.P.E.S.L. mark The series 527 safety relief valve is a component which is I.S.P.E.S.L. approved. Devices of this type are covered by the following types of document: The approval certificate is the document issued by the I.S.P.E.S.L., which attests to the positive result of the tests carried out on the prototype sample and consequently certifies that the series in question has been approved. The document is valid for five years. Every item of the series covered by the certificate which is manufactured during the five years validity period is approved for an indefinite period. The bench calibration report is the document confirming the testing of each individual device included in the approved series. The test is carried out in the presence of an I.S.P.E.S.L. inspector who draws up the report after the test has been passed. The document gives the serial number of the valve, which is also to be found on the plate fixed to the valve body. There is only one copy of the report and it is therefore vital for it to be kept with the valve.

Domestic hot water systems


Series 513 and 514 valves comply with the requirements of Section R for safety standards of equipment containing hot liquids under pressure (Italian standard): in the case of water heaters intended for domestic use, the expansion system protecting the vessel should consist of a vent valve, understood as a counter-weight or spring valve whose outlet has a diameter, in mm, not less than V 5

where V is the volume of the heater in litres, with a minimum of 15 mm. To illustrate the above, see the table with the hot water storage capacity limits for each type of valve.

Certification CE mark Series 311, 312, 313, 314, 513 and 514 safety relief valves meet the requirements of Directive 97/23/CE for pressurised equipment (also referred to as the PED). They are therefore classified in Category IV and granted the CE mark.

Installation Before installing a safety relief valve, correct sizing must be carried out by specialist technical personnel in accordance with the current legislation governing the specific applications. It shall not be used other than for its stated purpose. Safety relief valves must be installed by competent technical personnel qualified in accordance with current legislation. The safety relief valve must be installed in line with the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body. Heating system The safety relief valve bust be installed on the top of the boiler or in the flow pipework at a distance of not more than one metre from the boiler (section R). The connecting pipework between the safety relief valve and the boiler must not be interrupted.

Fitting The safety relief valve can be fitted vertically or horizontally, but not upside down. This prevents deposits of impurities from affecting correct functioning.

Correct installations

Max 1 m
Incorrect installation

Domestic hot water system The safety relief valve must be installed close to the hot water storage, taking care not to fit any shut-off devices between the valve and the storage cylinder.

Discharge pipework The discharge pipework from the safety relief valve must be fitted in such a way as not to prevent the correct operation of the valve and not to cause damage or injury. In accordance with current legislation, the safety relief valve discharge must be visible and carried in suitable collection pipework. As shown in the diagrams, it is advisable to install a tundish directly in the discharge pipework for low capacity valves, as diagram 1. In the case of larger capacities, proceed as shown in diagram 2.

Operation The accumulation of air bubbles in the valve body causes the float to drop so that the air vent valve opens. This phenomenon occurs, and consequently the valve functions correctly, as long as the water pressure remains below the maximum discharge pressure. Construction details Hygroscopic cap All MINICAL and VALCAL models are equipped with a hygroscopic safety cap. Its functionality is based on the properties of the cellulose fibre discs that serve as the seal cartridge and whose volume increases by 50% as soon as they become wet and thus cause the valve to close. This way, possible damages are avoided in case of leakage. Models with shut-off The automatic shut-off valve, which forms a seal with the valve body by means of an O-ring made of EPDM, facilitates maintenance operations by shutting off the water flow when the valve is removed and also allows for easy inspection of the air vent device.

Installation - The valve is installed in the vertical position, on the air separator, on manifolds, on riser pipes and generally in parts of the system where a concentration of air pockets is to be expected. - During operation the upper cap in the standard version must be loosened whilst it must be completely hand tightened in the hygroscopic version. - It is not advisable to fit the valve in places which could be subject to freeze. In such cases the Caleffi Maxcal Series 501 automatic deaerator can be used. - It is advisable to replace the valve cap with a Caleffi Series 5620 safety hygroscopic cap in all fitting locations which cannot be inspected. Accessories - Check valve series 561 for air vent valves series 5020 and 5022 is available. 3/8 and 1/2 connections. Available in brass or chrome plated version.

CALEFFI
ISO 9001

01055/05 GB

Function Automatic air vents with external float are designed to remove the air that is released from the water when it is heated and which accumulates at the top of radiators, limiting the normal heat exchange process and giving rise to noise and corrosion. The air vent has been constructed so that it can be installed on any type of heating emitters ranging from the traditional cast iron radiators to the thin steel panel radiators. All models are equipped with a hygroscopic safety cap.

Installation The valve must be installed in a vertical position. The hygroscopic safety cap must be screwed tight when the system is operating.

Construction details Hygroscopic cap All models are equipped with a hygroscopic safety cap. Its functionality is based on the properties of the cellulose fibre discs that serve as the seal cartridge and whose volume increases by 50% as soon as they become wet and thus cause the valve to close. Cover The removable cover has a strong opening mechanism to vent the air. Float The location of the float and other internal parts means that the water never reaches the obturator, thus limiting the harmful effects from the impurities contained in the liquid. Maintenance The valve can be inspected as follows if the water contains impurities that jeopardize the correct functioning of the system: a) isolate the heating emitter by closing the valve and lockshield; b) unscrew the valve cover with the O-ring seal. The valve has been constructed so that this operation can be performed without leakage of water.

Operating principle / Construction details 505 Valve 505 operates manually. The knob is turned until the air in the heat emitter is completely expelled and water starts to come out. 5055 (REG. MOD.) Once again, this model operates in the same way as the previous two. The identifying detail of this valve is an internal seal in a special elastic material which provides a tight seal in relation to limited tightening of the knob and possible temperature changes.

5054 This valve operates in the same way as the series 505, but differs in having a 360 revolving discharge facility which makes air venting easier.

The knob of the valve is shaped so as to be similar in appearance to Caleffi thermostatic valve heads, which enhances the uniformity of the range of radiator components.

5080 Valve code 5080 can be used manually or automatically. The principle of manual discharge is the same as for the valves already described, whilst automatic discharge is based on the property of the cellulose fibre discs forming the seal cartridge.

560 The drain valve is applied to the lower connection of the radiator. When inserting the extractor drain tube into the valve itself, the sliding piston which provides the outer seal must be screw-located and extracted, making the water flow outwards.

Valve closed

The manual discharge position is achieved by unscrewing the knob approx. one turn. Typical use of this method is when refilling the system.

The automatic discharge position, however, is achieved with the knob fully closed.

In this way, when the system is operating under normal conditions, the discs are immersed and, thanks to their increase in volume, they close the valve. However, when air is present, the discs dry out and allow the air to vent. The hygroscopic discs close very quickly, in just a few seconds. The drying times are such that there are no problems with the cycle of formation and elimination of air.

Replaceable cartridge The valve is constructed in such a way that the part containing the hygroscopic discs can easily be replaced without having to empty the heat emitter. This may be necessary because the discs can deteriorate in time if there is unfiltered or hard water present. It is, in any case, advisable to replace the disc cartridge at least every 36 months.

General description Temperature safety relief valves are manufactured by Caleffi S.p.A. in compliance with the essential requirements contained in Directive 97/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union to harmonise member state regulations on pressure equipment.

Function The temperature safety relief valves limit the temperature of water in multi-fuel or solid fuel boilers with either a boiler incorporated or an emergency heat exchanger. When the temperature reaches 95C, the valve starts to discharge the necessary amount of water to keep the boiler temperature within the safety limits. Its use is specified by I.S.P.E.S.L. regulations (collection R - pub2005), it complies with EN 14597 and can be used on systems that comply with EN 12828, relating to solid fuel boilers with a power output of less than 100 kW.

Operating principle When the setting temperature is reached, (Fig.1) the cold water inlet aperture is opened (passage from 4 to 3) and, simultaneously, the drain aperture is opened (passage from 1 to 2), until the temperature drops to below the trigger value and the inlet and drain close simultaneously. In the event of a malfunction in the sensitive element (5) (6), the valve will perform the same functions described above in a continuous manner. The following are highlighted on the valve body (Fig.2): - arrow indicating the point of arrival of the generator pipes on the flow pipe (1) and connection to the safety drain marked with a letter S (2). - arrow indicating delivery to the generator (3) and the mains water system inlet, marked with a letter C (4). IMPORTANT: it is not possible to reverse the flows, the indications for filling and drain shown on the valve must be followed. Fig.2

Installation The valve can be fitted in any position, vertical, horizontal or upside down. The temperature probe pocket (6), supplied together with the valve, must be fitted on the flow pipe at a distance lower than 0,5 m from the generator or at the highest point of the water heater and anyhow before the drain pipe. The pocket provided with the valve must be used. In order to be able to control the inlet pressure better, it is advisable to have a charging unit (normally open) on the valve filler pipe, set at the system operating pressure. In the case of operation with an open vessel system, the entire system is charged directly through the pipe connected to the vessel. In order to avoid any type of malfunction due to the presence of debris, it is advisable to install an inspectable Y strainer on the filling inlet. It is necessary to check periodically that the strainer is not dirty or blocked. The installation of a low head loss strainer, fitted with devices to check the state of cleanliness, is recommended to enable functional testing during the work phase (e.g., pressure gauges upstream and downstream of the filtering element).

Function In heating and air conditioning systems, the circulation of water containing impurities may result in rapid wear and damage to components such as pumps and valves. It also causes blockages in the heat exchangers, heating elements and pipes, resulting in a lower thermal efficiency within the system. The dirt separator separates off these impurities, which are mainly made up of particles of sand and rust. The impurities are collected in a large collection chamber that requires low frequency cleaning operations, from which they can be removed even while the system is in operation. This device is capable of efficiently removing even the smallest particles, with extremely limited head loss.

The process of air formation The amount of air which can remain dissolved in a water solution is a function of pressure and temperature. This relationship is governed by Henrys Law and the graph below allows the physical phenomenon of the air content release of the fluid to be quantified. As an example, at a constant absolute pressure of 2 bar, if the water is heated from 20C to 80C, the amount of air released by the solution is equal to 18 l per m3 of water. According to this law it can be seen that the amount of air released increases with temperature rise and pressure reduction. The air comes in the form of micro-bubbles of diameters in the order of tenths of a millimetre. In heating and cooling systems there are specific points where this process of formation of micro-bubbles takes place continuously: in the boiler and in any device which operates under conditions of cavitation.

Cavitation micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles develop where the fluid velocity is very high with the corresponding reduction in pressure. These points are typically the pump impeller and the regulating valve seating. These air and vapour Implosions micro-bubbles, the Seat-obturator formation of which distance Cavitation is enhanced in micro-bubbles the case of non Pressure Velocity de-aerated water, may subsequently implode due to Fluid vapour the cavitation pressure phenomenon.

The deaerator uses the combined action of several physical principles. The active part consists of an assembly of concentric metal mesh surfaces. These elements create the whirling movement required to facilitate the release of micro-bubbles and their adhesion to these surfaces. The bubbles, fusing with each other, increase in volume until the hydrostatic thrust is such as to overcome the adhesion force to the structure. They rise towards the top of the unit from which they are released through a float-operated automatic air release valve.It is designed in such a way that the direction in which the medium is flowing inside it makes no difference.

Water temperature C

Boiler micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles are formed continuously on the surface separating the water from the combustion chamber due to the fluid temperature. This air, carried by the water, collects in the critical points of the circuit from where it must be removed. Some of this air is reabsorbed in the presence of colder surfaces.

Flanged and weld-end deaerators are equipped with a cock (A) that has the dual function of releasing large quantities of air when the system is being filled and of removing the impurities that float on top of the water. A drain valve (B) can be connected at the bottom of the unit to drain the impurities that have collected at the bottom of the deaerator.

Air separation efficiency Construction details The automatic air vent is located at the top of the unit and is equipped with a long chamber for the floating action. This feature prevents the impurities present in the water from reaching the seal seat. The construction of the DISCAL deaerator allows it to be maintained and cleaned without removing the device from the system. Note the following: DISCAL devices are capable of continuously removing the air contained within a hydraulic circuit, with a high degree of separation efficiency. The amount of air which may be removed from a circuit depends on various parameters: it increases as the circulation speed and pressure values fall. As illustrated on the graph below, after just 25 recirculations at the maximum recommended speed, almost all the air artificially introduced into the circuit is eliminated by the deaerator, with variable percentages according to the pressure within the circuit. The small amount which remains is then gradually eliminated during normal system operation. In conditions where the speed is slower or the temperature of the medium is higher, the amount of air separated is even greater.

Insulation Flanged and weld-end DISCAL devices are supplied complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation. This system ensures not only perfect thermal insulation, but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapour from entering the unit. For this reason, this type of insulation may also be used in cooling water circuits as it prevents condensation from forming on the surface of the valve body.

Installation DISCAL units may be used in both heating and cooling systems, to ensure the progressive removal of air which is continuously formed. The units should preferably be installed after the boiler and on the pump suction side, as these are the points where the formation of micro-bubbles is greatest. DISCAL deaerators must be installed in a vertical position, and preferably: - upstream of the pump where, due to the high speed of the medium and the ensuing drop in pressure, air micro-bubbles develop more easily. The flow direction of the medium is not important in DISCAL devices. In installation sites where inspection is not possible, it is recommended that the air vent cap is replaced with a Caleffi 5620 series hygroscopic safety cap.

Function The automatic filling unit is a device consisting of a pressure reducing valve with compensated seat, an inlet strainer, a shut-off valve and a check valve. It is installed on the water inlet pipe in sealed heating systems and its main function is to maintain the pressure of the system stable at a set value, automatically topping up with water as required. This product has the characteristic of being pre-adjustable, which means that it can be adjusted at the required pressure value before the system filling phase. After installation, during the filling or topping-up phase, feed will stop when the set pressure is reached. Two pre-assembled versions are also available, complete with shut-off valves and different upstream backflow preventers, depending on the hazard level of the water inside the system.

CALEFFI

Non-sticking materials The central support containing moving parts and the internal sliding compensation piston is made using plastic with a low adhesion coefficient. This solution minimises the chance of scale forming, the major cause of malfunctions.

Diaphragm-seat seal The useful working surface of the diaphragm is particularly large, in order to guarantee greater precision and sensitivity when working with minimum pressure differences. This feature is also useful for giving greater force to the sliding of the piston and overcoming friction. In view of the low flow rates involved, the filling unit seat has been designed with the smallest possible diameter. This factor, combined with the extended surface of the diaphragm, creates an optimum dimensional ratio for a piece of equipment which must maintain its operating characteristics unchanged over time.

bar

Obturator guide In order to reduce the frictional surfaces, the obturator stem guide has been positioned in the upper part of the device. It consists of four spokes directly stamped on the plastic central support.

Removable cartridge and strainer The cartridge containing the operation mechanisms, protected by a strainer having a large surface area, is removable. This makes it possible to perform inspections, internal cleaning and, if necessary, cartridge replacement in an extremely simple and functional manner.

due to the concentration of toxic substances.

Installation 1. The 553 series filling unit can be installed in either horizontal or vertical position. It is, however, vital that the unit is not installed upside down.

Maintenance The following steps are necessary for the cleaning, inspection and replacement of the entire regulating cartridge: 1) Shut off the unit. 2)Open the lower control knob. 3)Loosen the calibration screw all the way. 4) Remove the top cover. 5)Remove the cartridge with the aid of pliers. 6) After inspection and any necessary cleaning, the entire assembly can be reassembled or replaced using the spare cartridge. 7) Reset the equipment.

2. The special mechanical pre-adjustment system with pressure indicator allows the assembly to be set to the desired system value before the charging phase starts. 3. The assembly is normally set at a pressure no lower than that obtained by adding 0,3 bar to the hydrostatic pressure. 4. During charging, the internal mechanism will automatically adjust the pressure when the set value is reached, without the need to oversee the lengthy filling operation. This prevents the system being charged to a higher pressure value than required. 5. In view of the pre-adjustment function, a pressure gauge downstream of the fitting is not crucial. 6. Once the system is filled, the shut-off valve can be closed. To reinstate the automatic filling conditions, the valve just has to be re-opened. The system pressure value will gradually go back to the set value.

Operating principle The (hot and cold) water proportions are regulated by a double obturator that slides inside a special cylinder placed between the hot and cold water passage channels. For optimal regulation, make sure that the two inlet pipe pressures are aligned. The recirculation circuit is easy to construct, thanks to the shut-off system for both the cold and hot water. Maximum silent operation and minimal head losses. Check valves In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves must be installed to prevent undesired backflow.

RECIRCULATION

COLD
Regulation and recirculation The check valve (1) prevents undesired circulation from the hot water storage. The balancing valve (2) should be opened until the temperature of the mixed water being recirculated reaches the desired value (which cannot exceed the setting value) during periods when no water is drawn. If, after carrying out the procedure described in point 2, it is not possible to guarantee the stability of the desired temperature whether or not water is being drawn by the users, valve (3) must be set to a p greater than the value set for valve (2).

Legionella vs scalding risk In systems producing hot water for sanitary purposes with storage, in order to avoid the dangerous infection known as Legionnaires disease, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the proliferation of the bacteria that cause this infection will be totally inhibited. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. Water temperatures over 50C can cause scalding injuries very quickly and even considerably faster to children and elderly people. Therefore, it is necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve which can reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value much lower than that of the storage so it can be used by the domestic user. For reasons of safety, it is recommended to set the temperature of the mixed water sent to the user to values no higher than 50C.

Energy Savings Energy savings rules advice to use mixing valves on water delivery systems for sanitary use with storage, to limit the temperature of the water at the inlet of the delivery network to 48C with a tolerance of +5C. The purpose of limiting the temperature is to reduce passive thermal losses through the delivery network as much as possible, besides preventing delivering water at a higher temperature than necessary.

Operating principle The regulating element within the thermostatic mixing valve consists of a temperature sensor in contact with the mixed water outlet pipe. By expanding and contracting, it continuously ensures correct proportioning of the hot and cold water at the inlet, modulating with the obturator on the cold water. Correct mixing therefore requires the hot and cold water pressures to be balanced.

Use Under standard conditions, Caleffi 520 and 522 series thermostatic mixing valves can manage reduced flow rates (from 5 l/min). Instantaneous hot water production Caleffi 520 and 522 series thermostatic mixing valves must not be used in combination with boilers with instantaneous hot water production for sanitary purposes. Adding them would impair the operation of the boiler. Installation The 520 and 522 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed as shown in the diagrams in this leaflet. They can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The following marks are indicated on the mixing valve body: hot water inlet, indicated by a red colour, cold water inlet, indicated by a blue colour, and mixed water outlet, indicated by the word MIX. The 522 series is equipped with a telescopic extension on the cold water inlet line with an adjustable connection centre distance from 105 to 160 mm. This permits fitting directly under the water storage heater, easily adapting to different models and sizes. On the extension there is a label showing the reference marks so as to be able to cut the pipe to size easily.

Check valves In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves should be fitted to prevent undesired backflows, as shown in the diagrams in this leaflet. Commissioning The thermostatic mixing valve must be commissioned in accordance with current regulations and by qualified personnel using suitable temperature measuring instruments. We recommend using a digital thermometer for measuring the temperature of the mixed water. Temperature setting The control knob is used to adjust temperature between 30C and 48C or from 40C to 60C depending on the version.

for heating and air-conditioning systems 663 series

CALEFFI
01065/06 GB

Function The preassembled distribution manifolds are designed to optimize the distribution of the medium in the circuits of the heating and air-conditioning systems. They ensure accuracy in controlling the flow to the single circuits, cutting them off and reduced depth that, at the time of assembly, facilitates hooking up with the outlet pipes. They are also offered in a version complete with hot pre-formed insulation to limit thermal losses and above all to prevent condensation on the surface when used in air-conditioning systems.

Construction details Flow manifold The flow manifold is equipped with outlet circuit shut-off and setting lockshield valves. In order to prevent leaks or seepage over time, the assembly seal is guaranteed by the EPDM O-Rings on the headwork (1) and on the control stem (2) while the O-Ring on the obturator (3) permits fully closing the outlet circuit, if necessary. External shape of the manifolds and brackets A special mention should be given to the outer shape of the manifold that, thanks to the casting process, can be shaped as needed. In this case, recesses have been made in correspondence with the passage of the pipe that comes down from the upper manifold, allowing it to be partially housed, for the benefit of depth. This is without interfering with the values of head losses, since the cross-sections of the recesses (a) are the same as in correspondence with the zones where the outlets (b)+(c) branch out and where the adjusters (lockshield valves and shut-off valves) obstruct the flow of the medium.

Return manifold The return manifold is equipped with manual shut-off valves (1), by means of which the flow to the single circuits can be cut off. They are moreover fitted for an electro-thermal control (2) that, used with a room thermostat, permits keeping the ambient temperature on the set values as the thermal load varies. The obturator stem (3) is made of ground stainless steel in order to minimize friction and prevent dangerous encrustation. The headwork has a double seal (4) - (5) on the slide stem in the form of an O-Ring in EPDM. The EPDM obturator (6) is shaped so as to optimize the hydraulic characteristics of the valve and minimize the noise caused by the flow of the medium, also during the progressive action of opening or closing in operation with thermo-electric actuator. The partial housing of the pipe in the manifold shaping is moreover helped by the brackets, made with such an angle as to obtain a misalignment of 25 mm between the upper and lower manifolds. As shown in the figure, this misalignment, at the time of installation, makes a perfect match automatic between the position of the piping and the shape of the manifold.

The manifold 663 series is also offered in a version complete with hot pre-formed insulation. This solution is recommended in applications where it is necessary to limit thermal losses (installations outdoors in particularly cold places) or, specifically, to prevent condensation on its surface when used in air-conditioning systems.

The insulation has been specially designed to aid its coupling with the manifold and any accessories, such as the thermo-electric actuators, as well as its installation in boxes.

Hydraulic characteristics In order to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the circuit, it is necessary to calculate the total loss of head suffered by the flow of medium on passing through the devices forming the manifold assembly and the fan coil circuits. From a hydraulic point of view, the system composed of the manifold assembly and the circuits can be represented as a set of hydraulic elements arranged in series and in parallel.

- Kv = flow rate in m3/h for a loss of head of 1 bar - Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h for a loss of head of 1 kPa

Example of calculation of total head loss Supposing we need to calculate the loss of head of a manifold with three outlets with the following characteristics: Total manifold flow rate: 900 l/h The pipes and fan coils of the three circuits have the following characteristics of flow rate and loss of head: Circuit 1 G1 = 200 l/h PF 1 = 1,3 kPa PPipe 1 = 1,7 kPa PP/F1 = 1,7 + 1,3 = 3 kPa P=G2/Kv0.012 Circuit 2 G2 = 300 l/h PF 2 = 3 kPa PPipe 2 = 7,8 kPa PP/F2 = 7,8 + 3 = 10,8 kPa Circuit 3 G3 = 400 l/h PF 3 = 5,3 kPa PPipe 3 = 7,2 kPa PP/F3 = 7,2 + 5,3 = 12,5 kPa

(1.2)

We calculate each term of the formula (1.1), using the relationship:

G = flow rate in l/h P = loss of head in kPa (1 kPa =100 mm w.g.) Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h through the device, which corresponds to a head loss of 1 kPa It should be stressed that the calculation of PTot. must be made taking account of the circuit in which there are the greatest head losses distributed along the entire circuit composed of piping + fan coil. In the case we are examining, the relevant circuit is No. 3. PLV PP/F PSV PFM PRM It follows that: = = = = = 4002/3102 = 1,7 kPa 12,5 kPa 4002/2872 = 1,9 kPa 9002/33502 = 0,07 kPa 9002/33502 = 0,07 kPa

} Values obtained by neglecting the changes due to flow rate to the single branched circuits.

By means of (1.1) adding up all the calculated terms, we have: PTot.= 1,7 +12,5 + 1,9 + 0,07 + 0,07 16 kPa

Note: Because of the low head losses for the manifolds, the two terms relating to them can be neglected. In general, the total head loss is reasonably approximate to that of the circuit composed of the piping, fan coil and lockshield valve fully open.

Using the lockshield valve The lockshield valve permits balancing the single circuits of the fan coils to obtain the actual flow rates in each of them that are determined at the design stage. We consider each single circuit composed of: lockshield, pipe/fan coil and shut-off valve. To be able to set the system correctly it is necessary to take into account the following data: the flow rate of the medium that must pass through each circuit (project data). the loss of head that, for this flow rate, is generated in each circuit: PCircuit = PP/F + PSV the loss of head of the most disadvantaged circuit: PCircuit = PLV + PP/F + PSV (1.4)
+ disadvantaged

(1.3)

In all the circuits the lockshield, for the flow rate GCircuit, must provide an additional loss of head equal to the difference, which we can indicate as PLV (p lockshield). To permit an increase in flow rate, we sometimes consider the lockshield valve of the circuit with the greatest losses of head open 80%. Once we know the data PLV and GCircuit for each circuit, we need to go to the graph of hydraulic characteristics of the lockshield valve and choose the optimum adjustment curve to which the valve adjustment position corresponds.

Example of adjustment Suppose we need to balance three circuits with the characteristics of loss of head and flow rate for the pipe/fan coil shown in the example (1.2): Since circuit No. 3 is the most disadvantaged one, because it has the greatest loss of head for the pipe/fan coil, we need to adjust the remaining circuits: Circuit 3 PP/F = 12,5 kPa G3 = 400 l/h PLV = 4002/3102 = 1,7 kPa PSV = 4002/2872 = 1,9 kPa With the relationship (1.4): PCircuit 3 = 1,7 + 12,5 + 1,9 = 16,1 kPa

By-pass eccentric kit with fixed setting, code 663000


Function In heating and air-conditioning systems, the medium distribution circuits can be totally or partially shut off by closing the thermoelectric valves in the manifolds or the thermostatic valves of the radiators. After reducing the flow rate, the differential pressure in the circuit may increase up to values able to generate problems of noise, high medium speed, mechanical erosion and hydraulic unbalancing of the system itself. The differential by-pass kit for 663 series manifolds performs the function of keeping the flow and return pressure of the manifold circuit balanced when the flow rate varies. This valve is fitted for quick coupling with the 663 series manifolds, reducing the overall dimensions to a minimum.

Construction details The differential by-pass assembly features a fixed setting that cannot be changed because it does not contain accessible adjustment parts. The small, compact size and offset connections makes this kit particularly easy to install, deciding to mount it after installing thermo-electric valves on the manifold. It does not require a larger or deeper zone box than those used for normal manifolds.

The thermo-electric actuator 6563 series is equipped with a control knob for manual opening, valve opening/closing indicator and a device for returning to automatic operation from the manual position when the electricity supply is restored. The control knob for manual opening and the automatic return from the manual to the automatic position is particularly useful when testing or servicing the system if: - hydraulic tests need to be carried out without having necessarily to connect and power up the controls. - the knob is left on the manual position at the end of the tests. In this case the control automatically goes back onto automatic operation when the system is electrically put into operation.

Distribution manifolds with pre-formed insulation


series 650
cert. n 0003

ISO 9001

01067/03 GB

Function This manifold has been designed specifically for heating and air conditioning systems, for the distribution of hot or cold fluids. It is provided with pre-formed insulation, whose shape and dimensions prevent not only heat loss but also condensing on the metal surfaces. The tight sealing of the insulation is an essential factor in preventing damp air from passing from the atmosphere to the surface of the manifold and forming condensation. For this reason, this solution is considerably more efficient than the traditional polyurethane foam. It is also simpler to check the hydraulic seals and carry out any maintenance work that may be required.

Operating principle The unit operates on the principle of mixing the high temperature fluid from the boiler primary circuit at point A with the low temperature fluid returning from the user secondary circuit. The unit consists of the following devices with functions as described: 1 Template for circulator insertion , for distributing the low temperature fluid in the user secondary circuit. 2 Thermostatic valve, which keeps the selected temperature constant in the secondary circuit flow, modulating the quantity of primary fluid at high temperature entering the secondary circuit. It is controlled by the sensor immersed in the secondary fluid. The quantity of incoming primary fluid, under average operating conditions, is approx. 25% of the total flow of the secondary circuit. 3 Calibration valve, which makes it possible to balance the quantity of the two fluids mixed according to the nominal working temperatures, the required output and the secondary fluid flow.

FLOW FROM BOILER

FLOW TO SYSTEM

4 Differential by-pass valve, which keeps the pressure in the secondary circuit constant at the set value when the number of open circuits to the underfloor panels varies. These may in fact be automatically closed if the circuit valves have a thermo-electric control head and a thermostat for controlling the output requirement. 5 Ball valve with built-in Ballstop, to control circulation in the hydraulic circuit and to allow for complete shut-off for maintenance purposes. 6 Safety thermostat, which limits the maximum temperature of the fluid flowing to the underfloor panels circuit. If the valve sensor is damaged, it stops the electricity supply to the circulator or the boiler. 7 Thermometers, which make it possible to control the flow and return temperatures of the underfloor panels circuit to maintain the system output, facilitating the calibration operation. 8 Manual air vent, useful during the filling operation of the system. 9 Tapping for connection of pressure gauges, to check the operating conditions of the circuit and the circulator. The gauges can also be connected to the Flomet electronic differential pressure measurer to speed up the system calibration process.

System sizing The nominal incoming flow from the boiler circuit is calculated using the following equation (see scheme 1): Gc = Gs (Tm-Tr) / (Tc-Tr) where: Gc Gs Tm Tr Tc = = = = = boiler primary circuit flow secondary circuit flow secondary circuit delivery flow temperature secondary circuit return temperature boiler primary circuit temperature

The calibration valve permits 8 regulating turns between the fully closed and fully open positions; normally it is supplied preset at 5,5 turns, which will permit the unit to meet most of the systems operating conditions. If adjustment is necessary, in order to satisfy the real requirements of the system, a practical method and a reference table are given below.

Practical method With reference to the operating temperature conditions of the boiler circuit and the system, the calibration valve must be gradually closed until the set temperature imposed by the thermostatic valve is reached on the unit flow delivery thermometer. This balances the amount of fluid passing respectively through the thermostatic valve and the calibration valve itself under the rated conditions.

These values are used to determine the thermostatic valve head loss, using the graph shown above. The value found must be added to the pressure drop across the secondary circuit to determine the necessary head of the corresponding pump in the case of zero head at the unit connections.

SCHEME 1

Reference table The table below can be used as a guide for setting the calibration valve. It takes account of the main parameters which interact when the system is operating under steady state conditions.

ISO 9001

01072/02 GB

Function Zone valves are used to control the thermal carrier fluid in heating and air-conditioning systems. Coupled with a thermo-electric actuator and managed by a room thermostat, they allow automatic on/off control of the part of the hydraulic circuit on which they are inserted. Their special feature is their low flow rate coefficient and they can therefore be installed to control small areas or used directly on the emitters. Product range Zone valves are available in the following configurations: Series 676 Series 677 Series 678 2-way 3-way 4-way sizes 1/2, 3/4, 1 sizes 1/2, 3/4, 1 sizes 1/2, 3/4, 1

They can be coupled with thermo-electric actuator heads: Code 656102/4 Code 656112/4 220 V / 24 V 220 V / 24 V without auxiliary microswitch with auxiliary microswitch

Operating principle When a room thermostat operates, the thermo-electric actuator causes the opening or closing of the valve obturator controlling the thermal carrier fluid. The actuator operates via a wax expansion thermostat heated up by a PTC resistor, which automatically limits the current once reaching regime temperature.

Construction details Control spindle The stainless steel control spindle has a double hydraulic seal consisting of two EPDM O-rings; this means that the upper part of the unit can be replaced even when the system is operating. Variable centre distance The series 678 4-way valve allows for adjustable centre distance between connections from 49 to 63 mm, permitting direct connection to twin parallel type manifolds. Manual opening The manual knob on the valve can be used for any preliminary opening/closing operations. It is removed to fit the thermo-electric actuator by unscrewing the lower metal ring. The valve, with the servo-actuator fitted, is in the normally closed position; for manual opening, remove the thermo-electric actuator. 2-way valve, series 676 + actuator, series 656

Function The Caleffi series 540 fuel shut-off valve is a fail-safe safety device with pre-set calibration. The valve, installed in the burner fuel supply pipework, shuts off the flow of fuel when the temperature of the heat-carrying fluid reaches the calibrated value of the sensor. As this is a fail-safe device, in the case of damage to the sensor assembly, the fuel supply pipe is closed automatically. This valve can be used with different types of gaseous fuels and is available in versions for superheated water.

Operating principle If the calibrated temperature is reached, the vapour pressure sensitive element, with the change of state, causes the triggering of the actuator via the capillary tube and the flexible bellows. The intervention functions are restored by pressing the pushbutton positioned in the lower part of the valve and protected by a metal cover.

Sensor pocket The compact dimensions of the pocket make it suitable even for small diameter pipework. In addition, its limited height means that it can be positioned vertically, avoiding difficult installation in the case of slopes or near bends. The superheated water versio of the pocket is made of stainless steel.

Reset Should the shut-off device be activated, it has to be reset to its original status as follows: a) Wait until the water temperature falls to 10C below the shut-off temperature (otherwise it will not be possible to reset the device). b) Unscrew the protective cap. c) Press the reset button. Series 540 valves are positive action (fail-safe) devices: if the sensor element is damaged or the capillary is broken, the positive action consists of an upward movement of the control unit, thus triggering the actuator, which in turn closes the valve. If this situation occurs, the valve must be replaced.

Certification CE mark Series 540 (97C) fuel shut-off valves meet the requirements of directive 97/23/CE for pressurised equipment (also referred to as the PED). They are therefore classified in Category IV and granted the CE mark.

The bench calibration report is the document confirming the testing of each individual device included in the approved series. The test is carried out in the presence of an I.S.P.E.S.L. inspector who draws up the report after the test has been passed. The document gives the serial number of the valve, which is also to be found on the plate fixed to the valve body. There is only one copy of the report and it is therefore vital for it to be kept with the valve.

S.L.

I.S.P.E.S.L. mark The fuel shut-off valve (in our case the valves calibrated to 97C and 120C) is a component which is I.S.P.E.S.L. approved. Devices of this type are covered by the following types of document: The approval certificate is the document issued by the I.S.P.E.S.L. which attests to the positive result of the tests carried out on the prototype sample and consequently certifies that the series in question has been approved. The document is valid for five years. Every item of the series covered by the certificate, which is manufactured during the five years validity period, is approved for an indefinite period.

The declaration of conformity, is the document issued by the manufacturer which confirms that the article in question was made in accordance with the reference standards for I.S.P.E.S.L. approval, but without having had a prototype sample approved. In practice, this is equivalent to a declaration of compliance (i.e. L. 46).

Installation Before installing a fuel shut-off valve, correct sizing must be carried out by specialist technical personnel in accordance with the current legislation governing the specific applications. It shall not be used other than for its stated purpose. The fuel shut-off valve must be installed by competent technical personnel qualified in accordance with current legislation. The valve sensor must be installed at the top of the boiler or in the flow pipework within 0,5 m of the boiler, upstream of any other shut-off control. The valve is installed in the fuel supply pipework, in line with the flow direction indicated by the arrow, even if this is in the vertical position.

References to I.S.P.E.S.L. standards Series 540, calibration 97C Use: hot water systems (temperature < 100C) - section R ed. 82 (R.2.A. 4) The fuel shut-off valve is used in the following types of open vented system: - Hot water heating system where the safety pipe runs downwards (R3A 1.14). - Hot water heating system in existence on the date of the coming into force of D.M. 1-12-75, where the safety pipe, although having a minimum diameter greater than 18 mm, does not permit discharge into the atmosphere of the maximum quantity of steam which could be produced in relation to the capacity of the boiler (R3A 3.1). It is not used in sealed systems: - In secondary circuits in heat exchangers supplied with fluids at a temperature above 100C with controls on the secondary or where automatic on/off control is not excluded. In these cases a heat discharge (temperature relief) valve must be installed.

When installing the device, appropriate precautions must be taken to ensure that the capillary connecting the sensor to the valve does not become squashed or excessively bent. In order to prevent tampering or accidental leaks of the sensor, the latter must be sealed in the pocket (the seal and the securing wire are included in the package). Application diagram

Series 540, calibration 120-140-160-180C Use: superheated water systems (temperature > 100C) section H ed. 82 (H.4. 4) The fuel shut-off device must be used in all types of open and sealed systems except for those fired by solid fuel or with heat sources other than fire.

Operating principle When a single system contains a primary production circuit, with its own pump, and a secondary user circuit, with one or more distribution pumps, operating conditions may arise in the system whereby the pumps interact, creating abnormal variations in circuit flow rates and pressures. The hydraulic separator creates a zone with a low pressure loss, which enables the primary and secondary circuits connected to it to be hydraulically independent of each other; the flow in one circuit does not create a flow in the other if the pressure loss in the common section is negligible. In this case, the flow rate in the respective circuits depends exclusively on the flow rate characteristics of the pumps, preventing reciprocal influence caused by connection in series. Therefore, using a device with these characteristics means that the flow in the secondary circuit only circulates when the relevant pump is on, permitting the system to meet the specific load requirements at that time. When the secondary pump is off, there is no circulation in the secondary circuit; the whole flow rate produced by the primary pump is by-passed through the separator. With the hydraulic separator, it is thus possible to have a production circuit with a constant flow rate and a distribution circuit with a variable flow rate; these operating conditions are typical of modern heating and Gp Gs air-conditioning systems.

Construction details

Insulation Flanged versions separators up to DN 100 are available complete with the insulation made of a shell in expanded polyurethane foam coated with an aluminium layer. For threaded and flanged versions DN 125 and DN 150, insulation is made of a pre-formed shell in closed cell expanded PE-X. This insulation ensures not only perfect heat insulation but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapour from entering the unit. For these reasons, this type of insulation can also be used in cooling water circuits, as it prevents the formation of condensate on the surface of the valve body.

Isolating the air vent valve In flanged separators, the air vent is isolated manually, using a ball valve. In threaded separators, however, the air vent body is automatically isolated by the built-in valve, which closes when the air vent body is removed.

Dirt removing element A vital function of the hydraulic separator is carried out by the dirt removing element inside the device. This makes it possible to separate and collect any impurities which may be present in the system. These impurities are removed by means of the drain valve, which can be connected to a discharge pipe, placed at the bottom of the separator.

Hydraulic characteristics The hydraulic separator should be sized according to the maximum flow rate value at the inlet. The selected design value must be the greatest between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit.

Operating principle When a single system contains a primary production circuit, with its own pump, and a secondary user circuit, with one or more distribution pumps, operating conditions may arise in the system whereby the pumps interact, creating abnormal variations in circuit flow rates and pressures.

Mass (kg)

When the secondary pump is off, there is no circulation in the secondary circuit; the whole flow rate produced by the primary pump is by-passed through the separator. With the hydraulic separator, it is thus possible to have a production circuit with a constant flow rate and a distribution circuit with a variable flow rate; these operating conditions are typical of modern heating and air-conditioning systems.

The hydraulic separator creates a zone with a low pressure loss, which enables the primary and secondary circuits connected to it to be hydraulically independent of each other; the flow in one circuit does not create a flow in the other if the pressure loss in the common section is negligible. In this case, the flow rate in the respective circuits depends exclusively on the flow rate characteristics of the pumps, preventing reciprocal influence caused by connection in series. Therefore, using a device with these characteristics means that the flow in the secondary circuit only circulates when the relevant pump is on, permitting the system to meet the specific load requirements at that time.

Construction details

Insulation Flanged versions separators up to DN 100 are available complete with the insulation made of a shell in expanded polyurethane foam coated with an aluminium layer. For threaded and flanged versions DN 125 and DN 150, insulation is made of a pre-formed shell in closed cell expanded PE-X. This insulation ensures not only perfect thermal insulation but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapour from entering the unit. For these reasons, this type of insulation can also be used in cooling water circuits, as it prevents the formation of condensate on the surface of the valve body.

Air vent shut-off In flanged separators, the automatic air vent is shut off manually using a ball valve. In threaded separators, however, the air vent is shut off automatically by the valve, which closes when the air vent body is removed.

Dirt separator element An essential function of the hydraulic separator is carried out by the dirt separator element inside the device. This makes it possible to separate and collect any impurities which may be present in the system. These impurities are removed by means of the drain valve, which can be connected to a discharge pipe, placed at the bottom of the separator.

Hydraulic characteristics The hydraulic separator should be sized in accordance with the maximum recommended flow rate value at the inlet. The selected design value must be the greater between the primary circuit value and secondary circuit value.

Probe holder connections The range of separators is supplied with 1/2 probe holder connections, which can be used with temperature probes or temperature gauges. Flanged models have a connection on both flow and return channels, as they are important points for the measurement. Since the separator connections are reversible on the primary or secondary circuit, the temperature reading options for the medium are expanded.

Operating principle Expansion vessel The closed expansion vessel with membrane (diaphragm) consists of a closed container divided into two parts by a membrane which separates the water from the gas (usually nitrogen) and acts as an expansion accommodator. Following an increase in temperature, an increase in pressure takes place in the vessel in relation to the pre-charge pressure when cold (Fig. 1) until it reaches the value corresponding to the maximum expansion (Fig. 2). Pressure restorer The operating principle of a pressure restorer is as follows: The pump, activated by the pressure switch, starts up and the vessel starts to fill. When the pressure reaches the set value, the pump stops; the tank is at its maximum capacity (Fig. 1). If the user draws off water, the pressure is gradually restored to the system, in the period between the de-activation and the activation of the pump (Fig. 2).

Sizing Method Heating systems The capacity of a closed expansion vessel with membrane (diaphragm) for heating systems is calculated using the following formula: eC V= Pi 1Pf Where: V = Volume of vessel (l) e = Water expansion coefficient. Calculated on the basis of the maximum difference between the temperature of the water when the system is cold and the maximum working temperature. In practice, for heating, a conventional value of 0,035 is assumed. C = Water content of system (l). Pi = Initial absolute pressure (bar) at the point where the vessel is installed, given by hydrostatic pressure + 0,3 bar + atmospheric pressure (1 bar). In practice this is the initial charge pressure of the vessel plus 1 bar. Pf = Final absolute pressure (bar), given by the maximum working pressure of the system + atmospheric pressure (1 bar). In practice, this is the calibrated pressure of the safety valve plus 1 bar. Table of coefficient e, on variation of temperature, relative to a temperature of 4C. ( = 1000 kg/m3)

Potable water system with storage The capacity of a closed expansion vessel with membrane (diaphragm) for potable water systems with storage is calculated by applying the following formula: e Ca V= Pin 1Pfin Where: V = Volume of vessel (l) e = Water expansion coefficient. Calculated on the basis of the maximum difference between the temperature of the cold water feed and the stored hot water. Ca = Volume of heated water (l). Pin = Initial absolute pressure (bar), given by the maximum incoming pressure + atmospheric pressure (1 bar). In practice, this is the initial charge pressure of the vessel plus 1 bar. Pfin = Final absolute pressure (bar) given by the maximum working pressure of the system + atmospheric pressure (1 bar). In practice, this is the calibrated pressure of the safety valve plus 1 bar. Example Size an expansion vessel for a potable water system with the following characteristics: Ca = T1 = T2 = Pes = Psic = Volume of hot water = 500 l Temperature of cold feed water = 10C Hot water storage temperature = 55C Max incoming pressure = 3,5 bar Calibrated pressure of safety valve = 6 bar

Solution The following is taken from the table of coefficient e: for T1 = 10C e1 = 0,00025 Thus: for T2 = 55C e2 = 0,01447

Example Size an expansion vessel for a heating system with the following characteristics: C = water content = 3000 l Pid = hydrostatic pressure at installation point = 2 bar Psic = calibrated pressure of safety valve = 3,5 bar Solution The above formula is applied, where: e Pi Pf = = = 0,035 conventional absolute value Pid + 0,3 + Patm = 2 + 0,3 + 1 = 3,3 bar Psic + Patm = 3,5 + 1 = 4,5 bar V = (0,035 3000) [1 - (3,3 4,5)] = 393 l

e(T=45C) = (e2 - e1) = (0,01447 - 0,00025) = 0,014 Pin = Pes + Patm = 3,5 + 1 = 4,5 bar Pfin = Psic + Patm = 6 + 1 = 7 bar

In addition:

The formula is applied: V = (0,014 500) [1 - (4,5 7)] = 19,6 l A vessel is therefore selected with a capacity of 24 l. Quick method

Thus:

For quicker calculation, the following formula can be applied: V = f Ca Where f is a coefficient which, for temperature differences between 40 and 50C, can be taken from the table below, according to the working pressure and the calibrated pressure of the safety valve. Table coefficient f
Calibrated pressure of safery valve (bar)* Working pressure (bar)*

A vessel is therefore selected with a capacity of 400 l. Quick method To obtain the vessel capacity, multiply the system water content, expressed in litres, by the value shown in the table below. Capacity of diaphragm expansion vessels per litre of system capacity (expansion coefficient = 0,035)

Membrane pressure restorers The capacity of a membrane pressure restorer is calculated by means of the following formula: V=6 Where: V = Volume of vessel (l) Gpr = Design flow rate (l/s) Pmin = Minimum boost in pressure (bar), equal to the minimum pressure switch operating pressure Pmax = Maximum boost in pressure (bar), equal to the maximum pressure switch operating pressure a = Maximum number of pump start-ups per hour (h-1) a = 30 for pump rating < 3kW a = 25 for pump rating 35 kW a = 20 for pump rating 57 kW a = 15 for pump rating 710 kW a = 10 for pump rating > 7 kW Example Size a membrane pressure restorer for a system with the following characteristics: Gpr = 3,4 l/s Pmin = 5 bar Pmax = 6 bar Pump rating P = 1,5 kW Solution Application of the formula gives: V=6 3,4 60 30 6+1 6-5 = 285,6 l Gpr 60 Pmax + 1 a Pmax - Pmin

Installation It is advisable to install expansion vessels in pipework containing water at the lowest system temperature.

Constructional details The expansion vessels are supplied pre-charged with nitrogen. The initial charge pressure can be modified with compressed air. Series 555 Vessels in the series 555 up to 24 litres are standardised. This means that they can be installed in either heating systems or potable water systems, as they are supplied with membranes made of a non-toxic material (butyl) and can withstand temperatures of up to 99C. Series 568 The membrane of vessels for potable water systems are replaceable.

Standard references The standards relating to the construction of expansion vessels are at present undergoing modification: I.S.P.E.S.L. approval, which relates to certain types of vessel, has been supplemented by CE Marking. This means that, when the system is being checked, both devices tested to I.S.P.E.S.L. and those with the CE Mark must be accepted. The European reference standard is Directive 97/23/CE, also known as the P.E.D. (Pressure Equipment Directive). Caleffi series 556 expansion tanks for heating systems and 568 for potable water systems already bear the CE mark instead of I.S.P.E.S.L. approval.

A vessel is therefore selected with a capacity of 300 l.

Function The thermostatic mixing valve is used in systems for domestic hot water production. Its function is to maintain the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user constant at the set value when there are variations in the temperature and supply pressure of the incoming hot and cold water or in the draw-off flow rate. This particular series of mixing valves is specifically designed for systems which require high flow rates, such as centralised systems or groups of equal users. These systems also require stable and accurate temperature adjustment, especially in relation to variations in the flow rate drawn off by the users. Patent application No. MI2001A001645.

Legionella - scalding risk In systems producing domestic hot water with storage, in order to prevent the dangerous infection known as Legionnaires disease, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria causing this infection will be completely prevented. However, the hot water cannot be used directly at this temperature, as it may cause scalding. For example, at 55C, partial burn occurs in about 30 seconds, whereas at 60C partial burn occurs in about 5 seconds. In view of the above, it is therefore necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve able to: reduce the temperature at the user outlet to a lower value than the storage temperature; keep this temperature constant in spite of variations in the inlet pressure and temperature.

Operating principle The regulating element in the thermostatic mixing valve consists of a temperature sensor (1) fully immersed in the mixed water outlet pipe which, by expanding and contracting, continuously ensures correct proportioning of hot and cold water at the inlet. The water proportions are regulated by a piston (2) that slides inside a special cylinder placed between the hot (3) and cold (4) water passage channels. Even if the pressure drops due to hot or cold water drawn-off by other users or temperature variations at the inlet, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the water flow rate until the set temperature is achieved.

Construction details Double seat The mixing valve has a special obturator which acts on a double water passage seat. This ensures a high flow rate with a reduced overall dimension, while maintaining an accurate temperature control.

Interchangeable cartridge The internal cartridge containing all the control components is preassembled in a single body and can easily be inspected for cleaning or replacement if necessary, without any need to take the valve body out of the pipe.

Thermal disinfection The diagram below shows the behaviour of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria as the temperature of the water containing the bacteria varies. To ensure correct thermal disinfection, it is necessary to go up to values of no less than 60C.

Low-inertia thermostat The temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic mixing valve, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time.

Temperature adjustment and locking The control knob is used to adjust the temperature in a full turn (360) between min. and max. It also has tamper protection for locking the temperature at the set value.

Energy saving Energy saving is governed in Italy by Presidential Decree 412/93, making it compulsory to use mixing valves on domestic water systems with storage in order to limit the temperature of the water at the inlet of the delivery network to 48C with a tolerance of +5C. The purpose of limiting the temperature is to reduce passive thermal losses through the delivery network, as much as possible, and to prevent the delivery of water at a higher temperature than necessary.

Application In view of their flow rate characteristics, Caleffi 5230 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in centralised systems with a number of user outlets or used to control groups of user outlets, such as shower units, washbasin units, etc. Installation The system in which the Caleffi 5230 series mixing valve is to be installed must be flushed and cleaned to remove any dirt that may have accumulated during installation. It is recommended to always install strainers of adequate performance at the water inlet from the supply network. Caleffi 5230 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed according to the diagrams shown in this manual, taking account of the current applicable regulations. Caleffi 5230 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The following marks are indicated on the mixing valve body: hot water inlet, indicated with the colour red; cold water inlet, indicated with the colour blue. Check valves In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves must be installed to prevent undesired medium backflows. Thermostatic mixing valves are also available with built-in check valves at the hot and cold water inlets. Commissioning In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current regulations by qualified personnel, using appropriate temperature measurement equipment. We recommend using a digital thermometer for measuring the mixed water temperature. Temperature adjustment The temperature is set at the desired value using the control knob with the graduated scale on the valve.

Replacement of the cartridge The internal cartridge, containing all the control components, can be inspected and replaced if necessary, without any need to take the valve body out of the pipe. 1) Close the shut-off valves on the hot and cold inlets. Turn the knob to the highest value. 2) Remove the temperature adjustment knob after unscrewing the locking screw at the top. Remove the plastic knob holder nut. Unscrew the chrome plated protection cover using the hexagonal control (1 - 1 1/4). 3) Remove the internal cartridge for inspection or replacement, using the hexagonal control. 4) Replace the chrome plated protection cover. Replace the knob holder nut so that the position indicator can be seen. 5) The spare cartridge is supplied preset to the highest value. Next, position the adjustment knob so that the text MAX is aligned with the position indicator. By rotating the knob clockwise, adjustment should be possible from the maximum to the minimum value. Secure the knob with the locking screw. 6) Reopen the shut-off valves and adjust the mixing valve to the desired temperature value.

Temperature and characteristic curve selector. This selector enables the user to input the maximum required flow temperature, corresponding to the minimum outside design temperature. Also enables optimisation of the standard configuration set at the factory, allowing personal control of the operation of the system. If this value matches the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the regulation complies with the calculation criteria given by its own characteristic curve. If this value is different from the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the controller will recalculate the new characteristic curve. The maximum set temperature on PCB however, remains active. 8) Reference graph for calculation of the characteristic curve. This is calculated on the basis of the following parameters: a) Max flow temperature set on controller. (item 7 PCB). Factory setting: 45C. Min flow temperature set on printed circuit board. (item 5 PCB). Factory setting: 20C. Min outside temperature set on printed circuit board. (item 1 PCB). Factory setting: -10C. Outside temperature limit for heating start in summer, set on printed circuit board (item 3 PCB). Factory setting: 18C.

Example of calculation of characteristic curve 10 X axis - Outside temperature - TX Y axis - Flow temperature - TY Calculation of minimum and maximum points Point A: given by the intersection of Tmax X (18C) and Tmin Y (20C). Point B: given by the intersection of Tmin X (-10C) and Tmax Y (45C). Calculation of change points Calculate the difference X between Tmax X and Tmin X. Thus: X = 18 - (-10) = 28C. Calculate the difference Y between Tmax Y and Tmin Y. Thus: Y = 45 - 20 = 25C. Points of change C and D of the curve are identified as follows: Point C given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 25% X = 18 - 0,25 28 = 11C Y = Tmin Y + 55% Y = 20 + 0,55 25 = 33,75C Point D given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 50% X = 18 - 0,5 28 = 4C Y = Tmin Y + 80% Y = 20 + 0,8 25 = 40C Characteristic curve

This program is used for carrying out correct drying of the screed, above which the final flooring will be laid (its activation excludes all other functions). The program has a duration of seven days; during the first three days, the flow temperature is maintained at 25C, whilst for the remaining four days, the flow temperature is raised and maintained at the maximum temperature value set at point 7 of the front panel. The activation of this program is displayed by the flashing LED on the front panel, point 1. The frequency of flashing indicates the drying days which have passed; one pulse every 8 seconds indicates day 1, two pulses every 8 seconds indicates day 2, and so on. If the electricity has to be switched off in this phase, the controller will start its drying cycle again from the beginning. The front panel LED, point 1, continuously lit, indicates the end of the drying program. At this point, the microswitch must be turned to OFF. N.B.: In manual mode the screed drying procedure cannot be activated. 5) Selector for minimum flow temperature at heating start-up (Tmin Y). Adjustable from 20C to 40C Factory setting: 20C Maximum limit temperature selector. Adjustable from 40C to 90C. Factory setting: 50C In case a higher value has been set at point 7 of the panel front, this will be restricted to the limit value. Neutral zone regulating selector. Adjustable from 1,5C to 6C. Factory setting: 2C (equivalent to 1C). If the variation of the flow temperature remains within the temperature value selected in the neutral zone, the mixing valve remains inactive. Moving the temperature in relation to the calculated setting does not produce any movement of the valve.

8) RF(%) Return sensor regulating selector. Adjustable from 0% to 100%. Factory setting: 80%. This selector is used to optimise the system output according to the difference between flow and return temperatures (T). T is calculated as a percentage of the flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve. TY = (Tflow set Y-Tmin Y) T = TY %set 0,3. Treturn set Y = Tflow set Y - T. Example with factory settings: Flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve, Tflow set Y = 40C (project conditions). Thus: TY = (40 - 20) = 20C T = 20 0,8 0,3 = 4,8C Treturn set Y = 40 - 4,8 = 35,2C. If the return temperature measured (Treturn Y) is Treturn set Y, the controller will modify the characteristic curve, moving it upwards or downwards, to move the return temperature to the set value. This continuous comparison prevents any overheating in the room caused by gratuitous heat sources modifying the heating load. Curve wih return temperature regulation

Frost protection function When the selector, point 6 on the front panel, is positioned at there are two types of intervention: or ,

Operation of room thermostat The room thermostat makes it possible to optimise the operation of the system, as it modifies the regulating curve automatically. According to the time bands for comfort and set-back selected on the clock and the room temperature setting, it will read the actual temperature in the room. On the basis of this parameter, it will make a substantial modification in the characteristic curve (A) to bring it into operation and prevent excessive heating of the room. The difference between the actual room temperature measured by the thermostat and the set temperature produces an amplified effect in relation to that produced by a similar variation in the outside temperature. A difference of 1C in the room temperature causes a move in the characteristic curve equal to 7C of the outside temperature, with the corresponding variation in flow temperature. For example, if Troom set = 20C and Troom measured = 19C, then the difference of 1C will cause a characteristic curve movement of 7C towards the left (B). The flow temperature will consequently be raised. In case of a negative difference the movement will be on curve C. This behaviour is applicable for a maximum difference of 3C in room temperature. In addition, the maximum temperature limit set at item 6 on the PCB remains active. In the set-back band, the set room temperature is automatically reduced by 2C, defining the Tset-back set. This reduction will cause a move to the right of the characteristic curve, equating to 14C of the outside temperature (D), with a corresponding variation in flow temperature. If the measured ambient temperature falls belowTset-back set the original curve (A) will be taken. In case of room thermostat code 151000 the set-back correction set at point 10 is applied.

a) If the flow temperature is below 7C, the controller activates the operation of the unit until a flow temperature of 20C is reached. Once this value has been reached, it will return to the inactive status. b) If the outside temperature is below 4C (+2 -0), the controller keeps the pump running.

Temperature and characteristic curve selector. This selector enables the user to input the maximum required flow temperature, corresponding to the minimum outside design temperature. Also enables optimisation of the standard configuration set at the factory, allowing personal control of the operation of the system. If this value matches the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the regulation complies with the calculation criteria given by its own characteristic curve. If this value is different from the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the controller will recalculate the new characteristic curve. The maximum set temperature on PCB, however, remains active. 8) Reference graph for calculation of the characteristic curve. This is calculated on the basis of the following parameters: a) Max flow temperature set on controller (item 7). Factory setting 45C. Min flow temperature set on printed circuit board (item 5 PCB). Factory setting 20C. Min outside temperature set on printed circuit board (item 1 PCB). Factory setting -10C. Outside temperature limit for heating start in summer, set on printed circuit board (item 3 PCB). Factory setting 18C.

Example of calculation of characteristic curve 10 X axis - Outside temperature - TX Y axis - Flow temperature - TY Calculation of minimum and maximum points Point A: given by the intersection of Tmax X (18C) and Tmin Y (20C). Point B: given by the intersection of Tmin X (-10C) and Tmax Y (45C). Calculation of change points Calculate the difference X between Tmax X and Tmin X. Thus: X = 18 - (-10) = 28C. Calculate the difference Y between Tmax Y and Tmin Y. Thus : Y = 45 - 20 = 25C. Points of change C and D of the curve are identified as follows: Point C given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 25% X = 18 - 0,25 28 = 11C Y = Tmin Y + 55% Y = 20 + 0,55 25 = 33,75C Point D given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 50% X = 18 - 0,5 28 = 4C Y = Tmin Y + 80% Y = 20 + 0,8 25 = 40C Characteristic curve

Example: if the selector is set to + 25%, its effect on the flow temperature will be as follows: +25% Y = 0,25 25 = 6,25C. The characteristic curve is then moved upwards by 6,25C.

This program is used for carrying out correct drying of the screed, above which the final flooring will be laid (its activation excludes all other functions). The program has a duration of seven days; during the first three days, the flow temperature is maintained at 25C, whilst for the remaining four days, the flow temperature is raised and maintained at the maximum temperature value set at point 7 of the front panel. The activation of this program is displayed by the flashing LED on the front panel, point 1. The frequency of flashing indicates the number of drying days which have passed; one pulse every 8 seconds indicates day 1, two pulses every 8 seconds indicates day 2, and so on. If the electricity has to be switched off in this phase, the controller will start its drying cycle again from the beginning. The front panel LED, point 1, continuously lit, indicates the end of the drying program. At this point, the microswitch must be turned to OFF. N.B.: In manual mode, the screed drying procedure cannot be activated. 5) Selector for minimum flow temperature at heating start-up (Tmin Y). Adjustable from 20C to 40C Factory setting: 20C Maximum limit temperature selector. Adjustable from 40C to 90C. Factory setting: 50C In case a higher value has been set at point 7 of the panel front, this will be restricted to the limit value. Neutral zone regulating selector. Adjustable from 1,5C to 6C. Factory setting: 2C (equivalent to 1C). If the variation of the flow temperature remains within the temperature value selected in the neutral zone, the mixing valve remains inactive. Moving the temperature in relation to the calculated setting does not produce any movement of the valve.

8) RF(%) Return sensor regulating selector (optional). Adjustable from 0% to 100%. Factory setting: 80%. This selector is used to optimise the system output according to the difference between flow and return temperatures (T). T is calculated as a percentage of the flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve. TY = (Tflow set Y-Tmin Y) T = TY %set 0,3. Treturn set Y = Tflow set Y - T. Example with factory settings: Flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve, Tflow set Y = 40C (project conditions). Thus: TY = (40 - 20) = 20C T = 20 0,8 0,3 = 4,8C Treturn set Y = 40 - 4,8 = 35,2C. If the return temperature measured (Treturn Y) is Treturn set Y, the controller will modify the characteristic curve, moving it upwards or downwards, to move the return temperature to the set value. This continuous comparison prevents any overheating in the room caused by gratuitous heat sources modifying the heating load. Curve with return temperature regulation

Sometimes the temperature regulating unit is installed in a system where there are one or more users with different usage requirements. In this case, for users requiring ON/OFF, it may be necessary to shut down the unit circulator. The electrical diagram shown below illustrates this possibility; the user auxiliary contact must be inserted in series with the normal wiring.

Frost protection function When the selector, point 6 on the front panel, is positioned at there are two types of intervention: or ,

Operation of room thermostat The room thermostat makes it possible to optimise the operation of the system, as it modifies the regulating curve automatically. According to the time bands for comfort and set-back selected on the clock and the room temperature setting, it will read the actual temperature in the room. On the basis of this parameter, it will make a substantial modification in the characteristic curve (A) to bring it into operation and prevent excessive heating of the room. The difference between the actual room temperature measured by the thermostat and the set temperature produces an amplified effect in relation to that produced by a similar variation in the outside temperature. A difference of 1C in the room temperature causes a move of the characteristic curve equal to 7C of the outside temperature, with the corresponding variation in flow temperature. For example, if Troom set = 20C and Troom measured = 19C, then the difference of 1C will cause a characteristic curve movement of 7C towards the left (B). The flow temperature will consequently be raised. In case of a negative difference the movement will be on curve C. This behaviour is applicable for a maximum difference of 3C in room temperature. In addition, the maximum temperature limit set at item 6 on the PCB remains active. In the set-back band, the set room temperature is automatically reduced by 2C, defining the T set-back set. This reduction will cause a move to the right of the characteristic curve, equating to 14C of the outside temperature (D), with a corresponding variation in flow temperature. In case of room thermostat code 151000 the set-back correction set at point 10 is applied.

a) If the flow temperature is below 7C, the controller activates the operation of the unit until a flow temperature of 20C is reached. Once this value has been reached, it will return to the inactive status. b) If the outside temperature is below 4C (+2 -0), the controller keeps the pump running.

Manual control To carry out adjustment: - Remove the servomotor fixing screws. - Lift the servomotor. This gives access to the control knob. Refer to the information given on the knob itself.

Operating principle When a single system contains a primary generating circuit, with its own pump, and a secondary user circuit, with one or more distribution pumps, operating conditions may arise in the system where the pumps interact, creating abnormal variations in flow rates and pressures in the circuits. In the SEPCOLL there is a low pressure loss zone, which enables the primary and secondary circuits connected to it to be hydraulically independent of each other; the flow in one circuit does not create a flow in the other if the pressure loss in the common section is negligible. In this case, the flow rates passing through the respective circuits depend exclusively on the flow characteristics of the pumps, preventing reciprocal influence due to connection in series. Downstream of the hydraulic separation zone are the flow and return manifolds to which the various secondary distribution circuits can be connected. Three possible hydraulic balance situations are shown below as examples.

Installation SEPCOLL units should be installed in accordance with the diagrams shown in this leaflet, paying attention to the correct connection of the flow and return pipework and the main and branch connections. SEPCOLL can even be installed upside down, as long as the right connection pattern is achieved. The 1/2 F connections must only be used for connecting an air vent valve and drain cock, and not for connecting branch circuits.

Insulation The SEPCOLL devices are supplied complete with a hot preformed shell insulation. This system ensures not only perfect heat insulation but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapour from entering the unit. For these reasons, this type of insulation can also be used in cooling water circuits, as it prevents the formation of condensate on the surface of the device body.

Function Pressure reducing valves are devices which, when installed on private water systems, reduce and stabilise the pressure of the water entering from the public network. This inlet pressure, in general, is too high and variable to be applied directly to domestic systems. This series of pressure reducing valves have the feature to be preadjustable. The pressure reducing valve can be set to the desired pressure value before installation, using an adjustment knob with a pressure setting indicator. After installation, the system pressure will automatically adjust itself to the set value. The internal cartridge containing all the regulating components is pre-assembled as a self-contained unit, to facilitate inspection and maintenance procedures. A version fitted with an inspectable high-capacity strainer, located inside a special transparent container, is also available. This ensures the pressure reducing valve and water system are well protected from any impurities in the water supply. 5350 and 5351 series pressure reducing valves are certified as compliant with European standard EN 1567.

Operating principle The functioning of the pressure reducing valve is based on the balance between two opposing forces: 1 the thrust of the spring towards the opening of the obturator 2 the thrust of the diaphragm towards the closure of the obturator Pressure adjusting knob

*Interchangeable with 5360 series Operation with water flow When a draw-off outlet is opened on the water system, the force of the spring becomes greater than that of the diaphragm; the obturator moves downwards opening the valve to the flow of water. The greater the demand for water the lower the pressure under the diaphragm with a resulting greater flow of water through the valve.

Operation without water flow When the draw-off outlet is closed, the downstream pressure rises and pushes the diaphragm upwards. As a result the obturator closes the valve to the passage of water and maintains the pressure constant at the calibrated pressure. The slightest difference in favour of the force exercised by the diaphragm, in relation to that of the spring, causes the device to close.

Construction details Pre-adjustment Pressure reducing valves in the 5350 and 5351 series are fitted with an operating knob and a pressure setting indicator which is visible on both sides. This pressure indicator features incremental step operation, therefore the pressure can be adjusted continuously with the value displayed at 0,5 bar increments. The system pressure can therefore be pre-set to the desired value, even before the pressure reducing valve is installed. Compensated seat Caleffi pressure reducing valves are fitted with compensated seats. This means the set pressure value remains constant, regardless of variations in the upstream pressure value. In the figure, the thrust towards the opening is counterbalanced by the force created by the closing pressure acting on the compensating piston. Since the piston has a surface area equal to the obturator one, the two forces cancel each other out. Removable self-contained cartridge The cartridge, containing the diaphragm, strainer, seat, obturator and compensating piston, is pre-assembled as a "self-contained unit" with a cover and can be easily removed for inspection and maintenance procedures. Inspectable strainer The 5351 series pressure reducing valves are fitted with a high-capacity inspectable strainer, located in a special transparent container. This means it is possible to view its condition and carry out inspection and maintenance procedures as necessary.

Low head loss The internal fluid-dynamic shape of the pressure reducing valve allows to obtain particularly low pressure losses, even if a large number of user outlets are opened. High pressures The zone exposed to the upstream pressure is constructed so that it can even operate at high pressure. The PTFE anti-extrusion rings on the compensating piston make it possible for the valve to be used continuously at upstream pressures of up to 25 bar. Non-sticking materials The central support assembly , containing the moving parts, is made of plastic material with a low adherence coefficient. This solution minimises the chance of lime scale formation, the main cause of malfunctions. Pressure gauge The pressure gauge used in the 5351 series has stainless steel casing and a connection with a PTFE ring, which guarantees the hydraulic seal without the need for any further sealing.

Example: Gds = Gtot % = 81 41 % = 33 l/min It is recommended that flow velocity is kept within 1 to 2 metres per second when calculating the correct reducing valve size. This will prevent noise in the pipes and rapid wear of appliances. The correct diameter of the reducing valve is taken from diagram 1 on the basis of the design flow rate taking into account an ideal flow velocity of between 1 and 2 m/s (blue band).

Example: for Gds = 33 l/min, select the 3/4 diameter. (see Graph 1) The pressure drop is taken from diagram 2 again on the basis of where the design flow rate intersects the curve for the relative diameter already selected (the downstream pressure falls by an amount equal to the pressure drop, with respect to the set pressure at no flow condition).

- Reference values:

Upstream pressure = 8 bar Downstream pressure = 3 bar

Sizing The typical flow rates of equipment commonly used in domestic water systems are shown below, to help in the selection of correct pipe diameters:

To prevent oversizing of the pressure reducing valve and the pipes, the correct simultaneous use correction factor must be taken into account. Basically, the more outlets within the system, the lower the percentage of draw-off outlets opened simultaneously will be.

Nominal flow rates Water flow rates corresponding to each diameter are shown below, for an average velocity of 2 m/s, in accordance with the specifications of the standard EN 1567.

Installation 1) Turn all the taps on before installing the pressure reducing valve, to flush the system and expel any air remaining in the pipes. 2) Install shut-off valves upstream and downstream to facilitate maintenance operations. 3) The pressure reducing valve may be installed on either vertical or horizontal pipe. However, it must not be installed upside down.

Installation recommendations 1. Installation below ground Installing pressure reducing valves below ground is not recommended, for three reasons: - there is a risk of the reducing valve being damaged by frost - inspection and maintenance is difficult - reading the pressure gauge is difficult. 2. Water hammer This is one of the main causes of faults in pressure reducing valves. It is best to fit special devices to absorb water hammer when installing pressure reducers in at-risk systems. Trouble-shooting Certain types of fault, which are generally due to faulty design of the system, are often wrongly attributed to pressure reducing valves. The most frequent cases are as follows:

4) Close the downstream shut-off valve. 5) This mechanical pre-adjustment system, with the operating knob and pressure indicator visible from both sides, allows the pressure reducing valve to be set to the required value in the system prior to installation. The pressure indicator features incremental step movement, so that the pressure can be adjusted continuously and the value displayed at 0,5 bar increments. 6) Set using the operating knob on the upper part of the device. The pressure reducing valves are factory set to a pressure of 3 bar. 7) In view of the pre-adjustment function, the presence of a pressure gauge downstream of the device is not essential. 8) After installation, the internal mechanism will automatically control the pressure, until the set value has been reached. 9) Slowly reopen the downstream shut-off valve. 1. Increased downstream pressure in the presence of a water heater This problem is due to heating of the water caused by the water heater. There is not relief of the pressure because the reducing valve is rightly closed. The solution is to install an expansion vessel (between the heater and the reducer) to absorb the pressure increase. 2. The pressure reducing valve does not maintain its calibrated value In most cases this is the result of impurities that deposit on the valve seat causing leakage with a resulting increase in pressure downstream. It is advised to carry-out maintenance and cleaning of the removable cartridge (see maintenance).

Maintenance

3
The following steps are necessary for the cleaning, inspection and replacement of the entire regulating cartridge: 1) Shut off the pressure reducing valve. 2) The special construction of the regulating unit requires no adjustment of the calibrated pressure, which can be left at the set value. 3)Remove the upper cover, using a suitable spanner. The upper cover is integral with the internal regulating cartridge. 4) Check and clean the strainer as necessary (5350 series only). 5)The entire self-contained cartridge can be re-fitted or replaced with a spare. When the cartridge is screwed back onto the valve body, the pressure indicator windows will return to the original position. 6) Reopen the shut-off valves. The pressure will return to the original set value.

Cleaning the 5351 series strainer To clean the strainer cartridge, proceed as follows: 1) Shut off the pressure reducing valve. 2)Unscrew the transparent strainer cartridge container using the spanner provided. 3)After cleaning, the entire strainer cartridge can be re-fitted or replaced with a spare part. 4) Screw the container back on again using the spanner provided and reopen the shut-off valves.

Legionella-distribution temperature In central systems that produce hot water for sanitary purposes with storage, in order to prevent the growth of dangerous Legionella bacteria, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria that can lead to the illness called legionnaires disease will be totally inhibited. These temperatures, however, are too high to be able to be used directly by the consumer; hot water at these levels can cause severe burns. It is therefore necessary to reduce the temperature of the hot water distributed in the network to a lower value compatible with use. In addition, not only the storage but also the entire distribution network needs thermal disinfection at regular intervals. Otherwise the bacteria would quickly form there too. In the light of all this, it is therefore advisable to install an electronic mixing valve that is able to: reduce the temperature of the distributed water to an adjustable value lower than that of storage keep the mixed water temperature constant as the temperature and pressure at the inlet or the draw-off flow rate of the mixed water vary allow programming thermal disinfection with a higher temperature than the adjustment value, in the necessary time and in periods with less frequent consumption (nighttime). Thermal disinfection The drawing alongside shows the behaviour of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria as the conditions vary in the temperature of the water containing the bacteria, in laboratory cultures. To ensure correct thermal disinfection, it is necessary to go up to values of no less than 60C.

Energy savings Energy savings rules advice to use mixing valves on water delivery systems for sanitary use with storage, to limit the temperature of the water at the inlet of the delivery network. The purpose of limiting the temperature is to reduce passive dispersion through the delivery network as much as possible, besides prevent delivering water at a higher temperature than necessary. Reference documents With regard to the prevention and control of Legionella, see the National Regulations and applicable Code of Practice. Applications The electronic mixing valve is typically used in central systems serving hospitals, nursing homes, sports centres, shopping malls, hotels, campsites and boarding schools. In these structures with their collective use, it is more than ever necessary to control and prevent legionnaires disease in a programmed manner, managing the disinfection times in the best possible way.

Operating principle At the mixing valve inlet there is hot water from the storage and cold water from the mains. At its outlet there is the flow mixed water. By means of a specific sensor, the regulator measures the temperature of the mixed water at the valve outlet and operates the mixing valve to maintain the set temperature. It modifies the flows of hot and cold water at the inlet to bring the temperature of the outlet water to the set value. Even if there are drops in pressure due to hot or cold water usage or temperature variations at the inlet, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rate of water until it obtains the set temperature. The appliance incorporates a digital clock and allows programming anti-legionella disinfection treatment on the plumbing system. The system is disinfected by raising the water temperature to a specific value for a specific time duration. For the best thermal disinfection control, in this type of system it may also be necessary to measure the temperature of the water returning from the network, measured with the recirculation sensor. When this measurement is available, it is used in order to check and control the temperature reached over all or part of the network, since the sensor can be located at a significant remote point of the system. The appliance is equipped with an RS-485 serial port for remote querying and setting and via specific relays it carries alarm signals and controls for other system devices outside.

Work status
Depending on the time, according to the programs entered, the appliance may be in one of the following work modes: Adjustment; Disinfection; Flushing; Thermal shock (this function takes priority over the preceding ones); In the event of trouble due to the appliance or the system, the device manages and reports the alarm and, depending on the situation, may maintain operation or not. So the statuses include: On with alarm Off with alarm The appliance is equipped with a chargeable battery that enables keeping the clock working in the event of a mains power failure. In the event of a blackout, in order to ensure the longest operating time possible for the battery, the appliance is in the status of: Off with Low Power. Adjustment In this mode the appliance continually checks the temperature detected by the flow sensor and as a result adjusts the mixing valve so that the flow temperature is equal to the set point. Disinfection In this mode the appliance runs a disinfection phase, which consists of taking the water temperature up to a pre-set value for a specific duration, suitably controlling the mixing valve. It is possible, with the menu, to set the days of the week when disinfection must be carried out. At the end of disinfection, the statistical data relating to the disinfection that has just been concluded are stored in memory. Access to and exit from this mode take place automatically according to a time for starting (TIMEON) and ending (TIMEOFF) that the user can set.

CHECK ON DISINFECTION

Temperature t1 SET2 - PRG1A SET3 - PRG1B of 2 t2

tDIS = ti > tMIN TIME ON TIME OFF

Time

If, in the time span (Time OFF - Time ON), the actual disinfection time is reached tDIS greater than the set tMIN, the disinfection is concluded with a positive outcome. It automatically exits this status and returns to adjustment. If it is not possible to reach a sufficient time tDIS, the disinfection phase anyhow ends at Time OFF.

Example: Time ON: Time OFF: tMIN: Program: Tdisinfection: 2:00 3:00 30 min 1A 60C If, in the time span of 1 hour, there is a temperature higher than 60C for at least 30 minutes, disinfection has been successful and the regulator returns to adjustment. Otherwise, disinfection anyhow ends at 3:00.

Programs The operation of the regulator, during disinfection, can be set according to different programs, chosen according to the type of system and its management: Program 0 (default) This program features continual adjustment of the flow temperature with automatic disinfection in a time band that can be set. With this program the return sensor is not used; if present, it is only used as a monitor. During the phase of disinfection, the temperature of the flow sensor must be above SET2 for a time tDIS at least equal to tMIN, if this occurs then disinfection has been successful. As soon as there are the conditions to be able to consider disinfection successful, it is stopped. If disinfection is not successful there is no alarm signal. Program 1A This program features continual adjustment of the flow temperature with automatic disinfection in a time band that can be set. With this program the return sensor is not used; if present, it is only used as a monitor. During the phase of disinfection, the temperature of the flow sensor must be above SET2 for a time tDIS at least equal to tMIN, if this occurs then disinfection has been successful. As soon as there are the conditions to be able to consider disinfection successful, it is stopped. If it is not possible to reach the disinfection temperature or it is not possible to hold it for a sufficient time, the alarm for unsuccessful disinfection is generated. The alarm is recorded in the log. Program 1B This program can only be set if the return sensor is set as present. It is identical to the previous program, the only difference lies in the fact that the successful outcome of the disinfection phase is checked via the return sensor in relation to SET3 instead of via the flow sensor in relation to SET2. As soon as there are the conditions to be able to consider disinfection successful, it is stopped. If it is not possible to reach the disinfection temperature or it is not possible to hold it for a sufficient time, the alarm for unsuccessful disinfection is generated. The alarm is recorded in the log. Program 2 This program can only be set if the return sensor is set as present. It is identical to the previous program, the only difference lies in the fact that, if after a wait time (tWAIT) since the start of disinfection the return temperature does not reach SET3, the flow temperature SET2 is increased by a value equal to (SET3 - TR reached), considering the fact that SET2 anyhow cannot exceed the limit of SETMAX. This correction procedure (increasing only) of the disinfection SET is iterative: if necessary, it is repeated in the time span defined by TimeON and TimeOFF at each time interval equal to tWAIT. As soon as there are the conditions to be able to consider disinfection successful, it is stopped. If it is not possible to reach the disinfection temperature or it is not possible to hold it for a sufficient time, the alarm for unsuccessful disinfection is generated. The alarm is recorded in the log.

Thermal disinfection The temperatures and corresponding disinfection times for the network must be chosen according to the type of system and the related intended use. In the light of the requirements of the most advanced world legislation on this matter, the following criteria can generally be followed: T = 70C for 10 minutes T = 65C for 15 minutes T = 60C for 30 minutes Thermal disinfection is generally performed at times of reduced use of the system, for example at nighttime; this is to minimize the risk of users getting scalded. It is recommended to perform thermal disinfection every day and at least once a week.

Flushing The appliance goes into this mode automatically at the end of the disinfection phase and it can be used for example to make the water temperature return to the adjustment value more quickly or to periodically clear the storage of any impurities. Thermal shock In this mode, the appliance regulates the flow temperature on the shock setting for a time that can be set. It is possible to start thermal shock on pressing the specific button on the front of the appliance (pressing it for at lease 5) while the work screen is displayed, or to program it with the menu item for deferred execution (countdown in minutes), or by remote control. After activating the procedure, it is anyhow possible to stop it by pressing the shock button and confirming it with the OK button (display guided procedure), or by remote control. At the end of the Thermal Shock phase the appliance goes back into the adjustment function. Low Power This mode is entered if there is a mains power failure. The appliance continues running the internal date clock, however in this state there is no power to switch over the relays so the regulator will perform neither adjustment nor disinfection. When the mains power comes back on, the blackout is recorded in the log and the regulator returns to operating as programmed, unless the mains failure lasted long enough to run down the battery completely. In this case the appliance will reset when the mains power comes back on. In the event of a reset or an extended power failure, the default settings are restored.

On the back of the panel there is the reset button, if it is necessary to restore the initial settings. If the date and time are not set after the reset, the regulator will only make the adjustment according to the default settings.

Actuation relays
On the power and terminals board there are the contacts of the relays used to govern the auxiliary equipment and to report alarms. Relay 1: circulation pump (on in disinfection). Relay 2: general alarm (sensor fault, battery fault, blackout or loss of current time). This relay is connected via the NC contact. Relay 3: second thermostat. Relay 4: flushing valves.

Relay contact for recirculation pump and hot water storage thermostat 2 Here we give the electrical connection of relay 1 when there is the clock for managing the recirculation pump times. Here we give the electrical connection of relay 3 for connection to the second thermostat of the hot water storage.

Alarm management
In order to simplify the solution of any functional problems after installation and commissioning, the regulator is configured so as to signal any operating trouble with alarms and to undertake the appropriate action. In this case the cause of the alarm is shown on the LCD display. If the alarm does not inhibit all the functions, the alarm screen will alternate with the appliance status screen.

For the operating details please refer to the installation and commissioning manual.

Log
The log is a FIFO list (loop buffer) that is continually updated and records parameters relating to the phases of adjustment and disinfection that took place during the day. The last 40 days are saved, after which the data relating to the less recent day are overwritten and so on. Every hour the hourly averages of the flow and return temperatures are saved to Eeprom, while the alarms are saved at the time when they occur. At any time it is possible to view the average hourly values of the current day (obviously the ones already recorded). The data on disinfection are saved when disinfection ends. It is possible to view the log on the display (via the specific menu item) or remotely via the RS485 serial interface. The parameters saved in the log are: - Date (day, month, year) - Set program. This is saved when disinfection starts. - tDIS: actual disinfection time (in steps of minutes). When the set program is 0 or 1A, this parameter is the time when the temperature of the flow sensor was greater than SET2. When the set program is 1B or 2, this parameter is the time when the return sensor was greater than SET3. This is helpful when it is less than tMIN, to understand how much greater the span of TIME ON: TIME OFF should be to complete disinfection. - TRMAX: Maximum temperature of the return sensor during disinfection (if there was disinfection that ended on that day). - TRMIN: Minimum temperature of the return sensor during disinfection (if there was disinfection that ended on that day). It is calculated from the time when the return sensor measured a value greater than SET3, that is starting from the time when the disinfection starts being effective. - Alarms AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4, AL5, AL6, AL7 if they were activated on the day in question. - 24 hourly average values of the flow temperature. - 24 hourly average values of the return temperature. - Marker indicating whether the previous data are reliable. Used in the event of resetting, changing time, changing date and any other event that might have made the saved data unreliable. If no disinfection ended on that day, then the related fields will contain a default value. If there have been any faults with one or both sensors, the hourly average data will be displayed with dashes. If there are any gaps or unavailable data due to a change in date, time, etc., the cells will contain a default value and will be shown on the display with dashes.

The regulator can be controlled by computer, too, since it is fitted with an RS485 serial output connection, which is accessible both via terminals for fixed wiring and via the connector on the front. Since the interface is the multipoint bus type it is necessary for each appliance connected on the bus to be identified by an appropriate address in order to avoid conflicting identification. For a detailed description of the operations and controls that are possible from a remote location with this interface, please refer to the relevant documentation.

The software supplied with the interface is used to manage the regulator, both during data acquisition and during modification of the operating parameters. In this way, it is possible to obtain information on the status of the appliance even at a distance, pick up temperature values and alarms recorded in the backup files, pilot thermal shocks, change the settings of various parameters. This type of control is particularly useful in the case of multiple installations with one or more appliances, which are all controlled by a single manager or maintenance technician. Typical examples of this are hotels, public buildings, schools, etc.

Safety in use As shown in the diagram opposite, temperatures of more than 50C can cause burning very quickly. For example, at 55C partial burning will occur in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burning will occur in approximately 5 seconds. These times are, on average, halved for children and elderly people. Depending on the type of system and its intended use, together with the relevant risk assessment, various devices can be installed to safeguard users from scalding caused by hot tap water.

Function The new series 640 zone kit provides, in a single assembly, all the necessary components for installation in the zone manifold box, making installation operations quicker and easier. The kit consists of: - A 4-way zone valve with thermo-electric actuator, equipped with auxiliary micro-switch. - A cast monoblock dual manifold. - A differential by-pass. - Two automatic air vents with hygroscopic safety caps. The function of the differential by-pass is of particular importance, as it controls the pressure of the manifold flow and return circuits when the required flow rate varies. Variations of this nature may take place following the closure of room temperature regulating valves on the heat emitters, such as, for example, thermostatic or electrothermal valves.

Constructional details Automatic air vents Both air vents have automatic hygroscopic safety caps. These devices permit air venting without manual intervention. Upon contact with water, they automatically close off the discharge passage. Dual manifold These manifolds are made in a single monoblock casting without the need for additional connections between the internal tubes. This eliminates a possible cause of problems due to the joining of metals with different thermal expansion coefficients. The connections of the lateral branches are made at right angles to the main headers to make fitting the connections easier. Zone valve The stainless steel control spindle has a double hydraulic seal consisting of two EPDM O-rings. This means that the upper part of the assembly can be removed even when the system is in operation. Installation The zone kit, supplied with the control on the r.h. side come with the air vents, differential by-pass and manifold pre-assembled. For the kit to operate correctly, the flow of the fluid must be in direction indicated by the arrow on the by-pass. If special installation conditions mean that this requirement cannot be met, dismantle the by-pass and turn it 180 so that the flow is in the correct direction. The zone valve must always be installed on the flow.

The front panel of the controller shows the following functions: 1) The LED is lit when there is a risk of condensation forming in the cooling function (the mixing valve is closed). In the heating function, this lights up intermittently during the screed drying phase.

10) Start or stop cooling selector. If the outside temperature is higher than the set value, the cooling function is activated. Factory setting: 24C.

2)

The LED is lit in the cooling function.

Characteristic curve The characteristic curve is determined taking into account the following parameters: a) Max flow temperature set on controller (item 9 PCB). Factory setting: 45C. Min flow temperature set on printed circuit board (item 5 PCB). Factory setting: 20C. Min outside temperature set on printed circuit board (item 1 PCB). Factory setting: -10C. Outside temperature limit for heating start in summer, set on printed circuit board (item 3 PCB). Factory setting: 18C.

3)

The LED is lit in the heating function. b)

4)

Pump operating (ON): LED lit continuously. c)

5)

Mixing valve closing: LED lit. The LED is lit continuously when the controller is in the non-operative phase of regulation, for example with TOutside between 18C and 24C (see characteristic curve).

d)

6)

Mixing valve opening: LED lit.

The characteristic curve has a straight line format. In the example shown below, it has been calculated using the factory set values.

7)

Sensor malfunction: LED lit. Example of calculation of characteristic curve

8) Function selector, 6 different functions possible: a) Main controller off. In models where clock fitted, clock remains on. The frost protection function remains active. Controller operating in set-back mode. Has no effect on the cooling function. Controller operating in comfort mode. Has no effect on the cooling function. Controller in operation according to the cycles of the comfort or set-back modes, determined by the two-channel analogue clock, red indicator for heating times, blue indicator for cooling times (item 13). Controller de-activated (pump ON - mixing valve ON). This function guarantees heating to the maximum temperature value set on the printed circuit board (PCB). Has no effect on the cooling function. Summer function. Cooling is activated if required by the ambient conditions (TOutside greater than the value set at point 10) and dependant on the clock settings.This activation takes place after ten minute if the outside temperature is more than 1C above the set value. With the exclusion of heating, the frost protection function remains active. Note: Normally, with the clock programme, the changeover from heating to cooling takes place after the outside temperature has been higher than the set value for at least half an hour. This selector position can therefore be used to effect a changeover to cooling. Temperature and characteristic curve selector. This selector enables the user to input the maximum required flow temperature, corresponding to the minimum outside design temperature. Also enables optimisation of the standard configuration set at the factory, allowing personal control of the operation of the system. If this value matches the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the regulation complies with the calculation criteria given by the characteristic curve. If this value is different from the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB) the controller will recalculate the new characteristic curve. The maximum set temperature, however, remains active. This selector also determines the characteristic cooling curve, as it uses the inclination of the first line of the curve, constructed for the heating (see characteristic curve graph). X Axis - Outside temperature - TX Y Axis - Flow temperature - TY Calculation of minimum and maximum points Point A: given by the intersection of Tmax X (18C) and Tmin Y (20C). Point B: given by the intersection of Tmin X (-10C) and Tmax Y (45C). Calculation of slope change points Calculate the difference X between Tmax X and Tmin X. Thus: X = 18 - (-10) = 28C. Calculate the difference Y between Tmax Y and Tmin Y. Thus: Y = 45 - 20 = 25C. Points of change C and D of the curve are identified as follows: Point C given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 25% X = 18 - 0,25 28 = 11C Y = Tmin Y + 55% Y = 20 + 0,55 25 = 33,75C Point D given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 50% X = 18 - 0,5 28 = 4C Y = Tmin Y + 80% Y = 20 + 0,8 25 = 40C Point E is the cooling starting point, whose characteristic curve has the same slope as section A-C. Point E given by the intersection between: TX = value set in item 10 (24C) and TY = Tmin Y (20C). Characteristic curve

Example: if the selector is set to +25%, its effect on the flow temperature will be as follows: +25% Y = 0,25 25 = 6,25C. The characteristic curve is then moved upwards by 6,25C. This has no effect on the cooling function.

Minimum outside temperature (Tmin X), adjustable from -5C to -20C, to which the set maximum flow temperature corresponds (Tmax Y). Factory setting: -10C. Set-back mode exclusion selector, adjustable from 0C to -20C. Factory setting: -15C. If the outside temperature falls below the set value, the heating is reactivated according to the characteristic curve of the comfort mode. Maximum outside temperature to start heating, or summer limit, (Tmax X), adjustable from 14C to 22C. Factory setting: 18C. An outside temperature higher than the set value will cause the following state: circulator OFF and mixing valve closed. An outside temperature 4C higher than the set value will cause activation of the cooling, if this outside temperature is greater than the value set on the front panel, item 10. - e.g.: To set on front panel=24C, To set on PCB=22C. Activation will take place at To=26C (22+4). Selection microswitch for screed setting drying program. Factory setting: OFF (1234). This program is used for carrying out correct drying of the screed, above which the final flooring will be laid (its activation excludes all other functions). The program has a duration of seven days: during the first three days, the flow temperature is maintained at 25C, whilst for the remaining four days, the flow temperature is raised and maintained at the maximum temperature value set at point 9 on the front panel. The activation of this program is displyed by the flashing LED on the front panel, point 1. The frequency of flashing indicates the number of drying days which have passed: one pulse every 8 seconds indicates day 1, two pulses every 8 seconds indicates day 2, etc. If the electricity has to be switched off in this phase, the controller will start its drying cycle again from the beginning. The front panel LED, point 1, continuously lit, indicates the end of the drying program. At this point the microswitch should be turned to OFF. Note: In manual mode the screed drying procedure cannot be activated. When cooling, this series of microswitches has the function of limiting the minimum temperature transmitted to the panel. This minimum temperature depends on the characteristics of the system and the type of air conditioning adopted. The different activation configurations are shown below. Factory configuration: 16C.

Correction selector for set-back mode. Range of adjustment from 0% to -50%. Factory setting: correction = -25%. The selector determines a parallel displacement of the characteristic curve according to the new percentage value selected in the set-back range (blue indicator). Example: if the selector is set to -25%, its effect on the flow temperature will be as follows: -25% Y = -0,25 25 = -6,25C. The characteristic curve is thus moved downwards by 6,25C. In addition, if, following this move, the flow temperature has to be lower than the minimum heating start temperature (Tmin Y), the following state will be obtained: circulator OFF and mixing valve closed. This has no effect on the cooling function.

Selector for minimum flow temperature at heating start-up (Tmin Y). Adjustable from 20C to 40C. Factory setting: 20C. Maximum limit temperature selector. Adjustable from 35C to 65C. Factory setting: 50C In case a higher value has been set at point 7 of the front panel, this will be restricted to the limit value. Neutral zone regulation selector. Adjustable from 1,5C to 6C. Factory setting: 2C (equivalent to 1C). If the flow temperature variation remains within the temperature value selected in the neutral zone, the mixing valve remains inactive. When cooling, the neutral zone automatically takes the value 1,5C.

If various zones at risk of condensation are to be controlled, the humidity sensor must be connected to a suitable interface kit (transformer, converter and humidity sensor). Up to 12 converters plus sensor can be connected to a single transformer.

8) RF(%) Return sensor regulation selector. Adjustable from 0% to 100%. Factory setting: 80%. This selector is used to optimise the system output according to the difference in temperature between flow and return (T). T is calculated as a percentage of the flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve. TY = (Tflow set Y-Tmin Y) T = TY %set 0,3. Treturn set Y = Tflow set Y - T. Example with factory setting values: flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve, Tflow set Y = 40C (project conditions). Thus: TY = (40 - 20) = 20C T = 20 0,8 0,3 = 4,8C Treturn set Y = 40 - 4,8 = 35,2C. If the return temperature measured (Treturn Y) is Treturn set Y, the controller will modify the characteristic curve, moving it upwards or downwards, to move the return temperature to the set value. This continuous comparison prevents room overheating caused by gratuitous heat sources modifying the heating load. There is no effect on the cooling function.

Humidity sensor control At the start of each cooling season, the operating condition of the sensor should be checked by placing a damp pad on its surface; this operation should cause the mixing valve to close and the yellow LED, point 1 on the front panel, to light. Positioning humidity sensor The umidity sensor must be positioned at the point where there is most risk of the formation of condensation, depending on the characteristics of the system. It must be positioned with the printed part upward, according to the diagrams shown below. Fix ends E, taking care that the central part adheres perfectly to the manifold or to the piping.

9) Auxiliary contact. This contact opens when the mixing valve is completely closed to the secondary and open to the primary. It can be used to shut down the pump of the primary circuit or the boiler. 10) UR Relative humidity sensor wiring. This sensor is used to detect the limiting value of relative humidity to prevent condensation on the cooling surface. This is calibrated for RH= 8085%. When the calibrated value is reached, this will cause the following state: mixing valve closed, pump ON.

16) C Summer - winter circuit changeover valve wiring. F This connection enables the 3-way valve to be activated automatically for hydraulic deviation between the boiler circuit and the chiller circuit. This takes place after the outside temperature has risen above the value set at point 10 for at least half an hour.

The maximum heat energy that the panel can produce in relation with the climate values recorded, can be reached by controlling the below outlined parameters. - Minimum flow temperature on the characteristic curve, which can be selected through the microswitch (point 4 on the back panel). - Sensor (code 150050) controlled maximum RH% limit. - Room temperature controlled through room thermostat (code 151000). - Room temperature and relative humidity controlled through a dedicated fan-coil). N.B.: When installing the RH% limit sensor according to the diagrams, as indicated, possible formation of condensation on the surface. In areas where the max RH% limit sensor is installed, adequate ventilation must always be present.

Example of safety thermostat application on system low temperature branch circuit

Operation of the room thermostat The room thermostat makes it possible to optimise the operation of the system, as it modifies the regulating curve automatically. Depending on the time periods for comfort and set-back selected on the clock and the room temperature setting, it will read the actual room temperature. On the basis of this parameter, it will make any necessary modification to the characteristic curve (A) for the purpose of accelerating operation and preventing excessive heating or cooling of the room. The difference between the actual room temperature measured by the thermostat and the set temperature produces an amplified effect in relation to that produced by a similar variation in the outside temperature. A difference of 1C in the room temperature causes a move of the characterisitc curve equal to 7C of the outside temperature, with the corresponding variation in flow temperature. For example, if Troom set = 20C and Troom measured = 19C, than the difference of 1C will cause a movement of the characteristic curve of 7C towards the left (B). The flow temperature will consequently be raised. In the case of a negative difference, the movement will take place on the curve C. This behaviour is applicable for a maximum difference of 3C in the room temperature. In addition, the maximum temperature limit set at item 6 on the PCB remains active. In the set-back band, the set room temperature is automatically reduced by 2C, thus defining Tset set-back. This reduction will cause a move to the right of the characteristic curve, equating to 14C of the outside temperature (D), with a corresponding variation in flow temperature. Whenever the measured room temperature falls below Tset set-back, the initial characteristic curve (A) will be restored with the set-back correction set at point 12 on the front panel.

Frost protection function When the selector, point 6 on the front panel, is positioned to or , there are two types of intervention: a) If the flow temperature is below 7C, the controller activates the operation of the unit until a flow temperature of 20C is reached. When this value is reached, it will return to the inactive status. b) If the outside temperature is below 5C (+2 -0), the controller keeps the pump running. Anti-seize function If the pump remains inactive for twenty four hours, the following program automatically comes into operation, with: mixing valve open for 30 seconds, mixing valve closed for 30 seconds, pump ON for 60 seconds. When this function is operating, it cannot be interrupted. Manual control To carry out adjustment: - Remove the servomotor fixing screws. - Lift the servomotor. This gives access to the control knob. Refer to the information given on the knob itself. Options Room thermostat, code 151000. The regulating unit can be supplemented with a room thermostat, able to adjust the value of the flow temperature according to the actual room temperature. This configuration makes it possible to take account of gratuitous heat gains, by refining the value of the flow temperature, with optimum results in terms of comfort and energy saving. In cooling conditions, the setting on the thermostat should be increased by 2C.

General The safety relief valves manufactured by Caleffi are produced in compliance with the essential safety requirements laid down by Directive 97/23/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for the harmonisation of member States with regard to pressurised equipment. Function These safety relief valves are used to control pressure in the primary circuits of solar heating systems. When the calibrated pressure is reached, the valve opens to release the fluid into the atmosphere and prevents the pressure in the system from reaching levels that might damage the solar collectors and equipment installed. These particular series of products have been specially made and certified to work at high temperature with a glycol medium.

Product range 253 series Safety relief valve for solar systems size 1/2 F x 3/4 F

Operating principe The obturator (1), opposed by a set spring (2), raises on reaching the setting pressure and fully opens the outlet. The setting pressure is chosen according to the maximum permissible pressure in the system. The diameter of the outlet connection (3) is greater in order to help discharge the required potential. As the pressure decreases there is the opposite action, with the valve subsequently reclosing within the set tolerances.

2 1 3

Discharge pipework The discharge pipework from the safety relief valve must be fitted in such a way as not to prevent the correct operation of the valve and not to cause damage or injury. In accordance with current legislation, the safety relief valve discharge must be visible and carried in suitable collection pipework. The glycol medium must therefore be drained off into a specific container. As shown in the diagram, it is advisable to install a tundish direcly in the discharge pipework.

Construction details Temperature and glycol In solar systems, heating fluid of the primary circuit contains glycol as additive and operates at high temperatures; to take account of these particular operating conditions, the obturator seal of safety valve is in high resistance elastomer. The knob is in plastic material especially resistant to increases in temperature and to UV rays, in the case of outdoor installations. Chrome plating The valve body is chrome plated to protect it from the aggression of dirt and moisture, in the case of outdoor installations of solar heating systems. Certification 253 series safety relief valves are certified for specific use in solar heating systems by the certifying body TV, in accordance with standard SV 100 Ed. 10.01 par. 7.7. Installation The safety relief valves for solar systems must be installed near the point in the circuit where the system is filled, before expansion vessel. Make sure that there are no shut-off devices between the valve and the rest of the system. The safety relief valves can be fitted vertically or horizontally, but not upside down. This prevents deposits of impurities from affecting correct functioning. The safety relief valves must be installed in line with the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

Use The type of system to be adopted, whether with single or dual manifolds, must be known for proper positioning of casings. Dual manifolds mounting Use bracket code 362001 to fit series 356 distribution manifold in the box by fixing it to the central ridge at the bottom of the box. It is important that the space between the edge of the box and the anchor ridge is greater on the side where a motor for a zone valve is located, if fitted. Positioning of code 362001 bracket

Distribution manifold mounting Use code 360001 brackets for 1 distribution manifolds, 350 and 592 series; for 3/4 and 1 distribution manifolds, 351 and 598 series. Use code 360002 brackets for 3/4 349 series, 350 and 592 distribution manifold. Make sure that the space between the edge of the box and the manifolds is greater on the pipe outlet side. If zone valves are fitted, the greater space should be left on the servo-control side. The bracket fasteners marked by a raised point (in red in the diagram) are for the positioning of the brackets for fixing manifolds with 50 mm spacing. The fasteners without a raised point are for the manifolds with 35 mm spacing.

Positioning of code 360001 bracket

Installation The box is supplied with a series of spacers to set the depth of the space available inside at between 80 mm and 100 mm. The spacer is supplied for a depth of 100 mm. (fig. 1). It can be cut or broken at the point indicated (fig. 2) to provide a depth of 80 mm. (fig. 3). The angle brackets for anchoring the box in the wall can be fixed at the bottom (fig. 4) or to the frame (fig. 5). They can also be set in a vertical or horizontal position. The particular way in which they are set will prevent them from moving while they are being cemented in.

The box comes complete with guards to place on the sides where no piping passes to prevent mortar from falling on them and dirtying them when the casing is set into the mortar. Guards are provided for both the narrow and the broad side, to be fitted depending on whether the casing is positioned horizontally or vertically.

The guards are fitted with special fasteners to fix them to the bottom of the box and it is therefore best to fit them before placing the casing in the wall.

After the components have been positioned and tested for leaks, the guard (supplied with the casing) should be positioned before cement operations commence to prevent cement from entering the box and dirtying the contents.

The casing lends itself easily to methods normally employed on building sites for embedding. For example, once the distributor manifold has been installed with all the accessories and leak tests have been performed, the proper depth is measured and it is assembled from the two sides. It can all be then cemented in.

The shape of the frame and of the anchoring brackets (Fig. 10 and Fig. 10a) ensures reliable anchoring in the cement and will prevent cracks and breaks in the wall near the frame.

A grid (Fig. 11) over the whole of the back of the box ensures proper anchoring in the plaster.

The box comes with an anti-crush bar which must be removed after the cement has set.

A special fastening system for the cover ensures rapid fitting and secure closing no matter how many times it is opened and closed. The screw can be turned with either a 5 mm. Allen wrench or a coin (fig. 13 fig. 13a). Turning the screw results in controlled deformation of the screw hole which ensures that it tightens and locks (fig. 13b).

The cover allows for a 30 mm depth tolerance for possible errors in the wall finish.

14

The ventilation holes in the cover are specially shaped so that air exits from the cover at a speed and in a direction which takes it immediately away from the cover. This prevents the formation of ugly marks on the wall.

15

Installation of 363 series wall port Another typical type of installation is where a recess is cut directly into the wall (fig. 16) and consequently only the series 363 inspection wall port is required. As in the case already described (fig. 5), the anchoring brackets are fixed directly to the inside of the frame.

When installed vertically box code 362073 has a width of 360 mm, which is the same as the length of box code 362036 installed horizontally; this allows the two boxes to be positioned one above the other for particularly complex systems.

ISO 9001

01092/04 GB

Function In some domestic hot water distribution systems there is a need to protect the most vulnerable people against scalding caused by hot water, such as, for example, in hospitals, in nursing homes or in schools. This particular series of thermostatic mixing valves has been specially designed for these applications and installation at the point of use. These thermostatic mixing valves ensure enhanced thermal performance. They are able to accurately control the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user in case of variations in the inlet supply pressure or temperature, or in the flow rate. They are designed with a special anti-scald function which immediately shuts off the flow of water discharging from the mixed water outlet in the event of a failure of cold supply. (The 5213 series thermostatic mixing valves are certified to UK specification NHS D 08, standard BS 7942: 2000 and standards EN 1111 and EN 1287).

Legionella vs scalding risk In systems producing domestic hot water with storage, in order to avoid the dangerous infection known as Legionella, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of the least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria causing this infection will be totally eliminated. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. As shown on the diagram opposite, temperatures of more than 50C can cause burning very quickly. For example, at 55C partial burning will occur in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burning will occur in approximately 5 seconds. This time may be reduced by 50 percent or more for children and elderly people. In view of the above, it is necessary to install a thermostatic mixing valve which can: reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value lower than that of the storage and make it suitable for sanitary use; maintain the temperature constant while the incoming pressure and temperature conditions vary; have an anti scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply. Thermal disinfection The diagram opposite shows the behaviour of the bacteria Legionella as a Pneumophila function of changes in the temperature of the water in which it is contained. In order to ensure proper thermal disinfection, the temperature must not fall below 60C.

Operating principle Code 521303 The thermostatic mixing valve mixes incoming hot and cold water in such a way as to maintain the temperature of the mixed water constant. A thermostatic element is fully immersed in the mixed water flow. As this expands or contracts it causes the internal shutter to move and thereby controls the flow of incoming hot and cold water. If the temperature or pressure of the incoming water changes, the internal element reacts immediately to restore the original water temperature at the outlet. Construction details Anti-scale materials The materials used in the construction of the mixer eliminate the problem of jamming caused by lime deposits. All the functional parts are made of a special anti-scale material, with a low friction coefficient, which guarantees high performance and long life. Anti scald safety function As a safety measure, in case of failure of the cold water supply, the valve immediately shuts off the flow of mixed water. This prevents dangerous burns. This performance is guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference between the inlet hot water and the outlet mixed water of 10C. In case of failure of the hot water supply, the valve shuts off the mixed water, to prevent dangerous thermal shocks (performance in compliance with UK standards NHS D 08 and BS 7942: 2000).

In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current regulations by qualified personnel using appropriate temperature measuring equipment. Use of a digital thermometer is recommended for measuring the temperature of the mixed water. Temperature setting and locking The temperature is set at the desired value by turning the nut on the top of the valve using the socket set in the protective cap. Given the particular use of this type of mixing valve, the following table shows the recommended maximum outlet water temperatures to prevent scalding. Appliance Bidet Shower Wash basin Bath tub Max.

Once the temperature has been set it can then be locked at the desired value using a tamper-proof locking nut.

Use Given their flow characteristics, the Caleffi 5213 series thermostatic mixing valves are suitable for point of use applications or to supply a limited number of outlets. As a consequence, the flow rate through the mixing valve is generally the same as that at the final outlet. For best performance the mixing valve must have a minimum flow rate of 4 l/min. The domestic water system must be sized in accordance with the current legislation concerning the nominal flow rates of each outlet. Public buildings, hospitals, nursery schools The risk of scalding is very high in these types of applications due to the type of users: children, the elderly and the sick. In these installations, the two supply networks of hot water from a storage and cold water can have different origin and operate at different pressures. In the event of failure of the cold or hot water, the thermostatic mixing valve will immediately shut off the flow of mixed water to prevent possible scalding or thermal shocks. Selecting the correct size of the mixing valve Note the design flow rate, taking into account the possibility of simultaneous use of appliances, select the size of mixing valve by checking the loss of pressure that will be produced from the graph. In this case, check the available inlet pressure, the loss of pressure in the system downstream of the mixing valve and the residual pressure required by the appliances. Installation Before installing the mixing valve, the pipework must be flushed to ensure that no circulating impurities can compromise its operation. It is always advisable to install suitable filters at water connections with the mains. The 5213 series thermostatic mixing valves are fitted with strainers on the hot and cold water inlets. The 5213 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed according to the diagrams and instructions contained in the instruction sheet or in this leaflet. The 5213 series mixing valves can be fitted in any position either vertically or horizontally. The following markings are provided on the body of the valve: the letter H on the hot water inlet the letter C on the cold water inlet the word MIX on the mixed water outlet. Check valves In order to prevent undesirable backsiphonage, check valves must be installed in systems with thermostatic mixing valves The 5213 series thermostatic mixing valves are supplied with built-in check valves at the hot and cold water inlets.

Operating principle The principle by which the unit functions is to mix, at node A, the high temperature fluid of the primary boiler circuit with the low temperature return fluid of the secondary user circuit. It consists of the following components with their relative functions: 1 Pump, to distribute the low temperature fluid in the secondary user circuit. 2 Thermostatic valve, which maintains the temperature set for the flow to the secondary circuit constant by regulating the quantity of high temperature primary circuit fluid that can enter the secondary circuit. It is operated by a sensor immersed in the secondary fluid. The quantity of primary fluid that is let in, under average operating conditions, amounts to approximately 25% of the total secondary circuit flow. 3 Balancing valve, which balances the quantities of the two fluids that are mixed on the basis of nominal working temperature, of the desired power and of the flow rate of the secondary fluid. 4 Differential by-pass valve, which maintains the value set for the head on the secondary circuit constant as the number of open outlet circuits to panels varies. They can in fact be automatically shut-off if the valves are fitted with a thermoelectric and thermostat control to regulate the ambient thermal load. 5 Shut-off valve with built-in check valve Ballstop, which prevents undesired circulation in the circuit and allows circuits to be shut-off for maintenance if necessary. 6 Safety thermostat, which limits the maximum temperature of the fluid sent to the radiant panel circuit, whatever happens. If the sensor of the valve is damaged, it cuts out the supply to the circulator or the generator. 7 Temperature gauges , that monitor the flow and return temperatures of the radiant panel circuits to check the performance of the system and facilitate setting operations. 8 Manual air vent valve, for use when filling the system. 9 Suitable for connection to pressure tapping points , for measuring the working conditions of the circuit and of the circulator. The points can also be connected to a Flomet electronic differential pressure measurement device to speed system calibration operations. 10 Pressure gauge, to read pressures and check the pump head.

System sizing The nominal operating inlet flow rate from the boiler circuit is calculated with the following formula (see diagram 1): Gb = Gs (Tf-Tr) / (Tb-Tr) where: Gb Gs Tf Tr Tb = flow rate in the primary boiler circuit = flow rate in the secondary circuit = secondary circuit flow temperature = secondary circuit return temperature = primary boiler circuit temperature

The balancing valve is adjusted through eight full turns between the following conditions: fully closed, fully open. It is normally preset at 6.5 turns which satisfies the operating conditions of most systems. If adjustment is necessary to satisfy the actual requirements of a system, a practical method is described below with a reference table. Practical method Reference is made to the operating temperature of the boiler circuit and the heating system and the balancing valve is gradually closed until the temperature read on the flow temperature gauge of the unit reaches the operating temperature set for the thermostatic valve (-1K/-2K). The result is that the quantities of fluid which pass through the thermostatic valve and through the balancing valve are balanced to the nominal conditions. Reference table The table below may be used as a guide for setting the balancing valve. It takes into account the main parameters that interact when the system is operating under steady state conditions.

this value is used to determine the loss of pressure on the thermostatic valve using the graph given above. The value found must be added to the loss of pressure in the secondary circuit to determine the head necessary from the corresponding pump if there is zero head at the unit connections.

Differential by-pass

High temperature distribution kit Operating The high temperature distribution kit distributes water to the heater or cooler units connected before the outlet to the secondary radiant panel circuit. It consists of a single sided dual manifold and a differential by-pass valve.

Differential by-pass

The differential by-pass valve is used to control the head to which the distribution circuit to the heater units is subjected; it facilitates circulation to the heater units and limits over pressure where there are thermostatic or electro-thermal valves.The differential valve is calibrated at the pressure loss value in the heater unit circuit.

High temperature distribution manifold The distributor manifold not only distributes the water in the heater unit circuits but also allows the hydronic separation between the primary and the secondary circuits. This separation improves the functioning of the secondary circuit to the panels and prevents changes in the flow rate in the primary circuit from affecting the secondary circuit. In this case, the flow rate in the respective circuits is an exclusive function of the pump flow rate and the reciprocal influence arising from coupling them in series is avoided. Two possible conditions of circuit equilibrium follow. A typical circuit design gives the following operating conditions: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating units G primary max. recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Digital temperature controller

Operation The temperature controller receives the activation signal from the ambient thermostat to start the pump and operate the mixing valve. The controller operates the mixing valves according to two logic approaches depending on whether the return sensor is on or off. Set point regulation: return sensor off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature FT is held constant at the value set using the selector 5) both for heating and for cooling. The setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return sensor on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature FT is modified as a function of the temperature measured by the return sensor RT. This keeps the actual thermal output of the slab and as a consequence the ambient thermal load under control. The thermal response time of the system is thus reduced to a minimum. RTset = FTset - 35% (FTset - 20C) FTcalculated = FTset + (RTset - RT)

Example: FTset = 40C RTset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C FTcalculated = 40 + (33 - RT)
10 11 12 9 6 5 The new FT value calculated is given on the display 1) with a small side bar showing.

The front panel contains the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD display for: temperature measured or calculated and setting programmed delays in the system. Temperature range displayed: 0 99C with a 0,1C resolution. 2) Controller function selector On/Off. 3) Mixing valve on opening: Led on. 4) Mixing valve on closing: Led on. 5) Selector for setting flow temperature Temperature range: 7 78C Factory setting: - heating: max. 50C - cooling: min. 14C 6) Return sensor selector Sensor off: OFF Sensor on: ON Factory setting: ON 7) Pump running (ON): LED permanently on 8) S.T. led - safety temperature. Permanently on when the limit signalled by the thermostat or humidistat is reached. It also comes on permanently if the flow/return sensors malfunction (see paragraph flow/return sensor). 9) Switch for changing heating/ cooling function. 10) Adjuster for maximum duration of impulse on valve. Adjustable 0,2 6 s. Factory setting: 2,5 s. 11) Adjuster for time delay in reading return sensor. Adjustable 1 360 s. Factory setting: 20 s.
20 30

Each time the FT is calculated, the actual FT is displayed for 5 s, after which the new FT calculated is shown. Changes to FT stop when RT reaches RTset. The return sensor is switched off for the cooling function.

Maximum cooling temperature limit Cooling flow temperature cannot be set greater than 25C.

Control of relative humidity When the temperature controller is used for cooling, the relative humidity sensor must be used. The function of this sensor is to detect the maximum relative humidity limit in order to prevent the formation of condensation in the cooling thermal slab. It is set at RH=80-85%. When this level is reached the following operating state is set: pump ON, mixing valve closed.

Testing the humidity sensor The functioning of the sensor must be checked at the start of each cooling season by placing a damp wad of cotton wool on the surface; this should cause the mixing valve to be switched off and switch on the red LED, 8), on the front of the control panel. Location of the humidity sensor The humidity sensor is located at the point where humidity is most likely to form which will depend on the system design. It is positioned with the carbon printed surface facing upwards as in the diagrams.

Connection of the humidity sensor The humidity sensor is connected to the temperature controller through a special transformer and converter.

Operation The temperature controller receives the activation signal from the ambient thermostat to start the pump and operate the mixing valve. The controller operates the mixing valves according to two logic approaches depending on whether the return sensor is on or off. Set point regulation: return sensor off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature FT is held constant at the value set using the selector 5) both for heating and for cooling. The setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return sensor on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature FT is modified as a function of the temperature measured by the return sensor RT. This keeps the actual thermal output of the slab and as a consequence the ambient thermal load under control. The thermal response time of the system is thus reduced to a minimum. RTset = FTset - 35% (FTset - 20C) FTcalculated = FTset + (RTset - RT)

Example: FTset = 40C RTset = 40 - 0.35 (40 - 20) = 33C FTcalculated = 40 + (33 - RT)
10 11 12 9 6 5 The new FT value calculated is given on the display 1) with a small side bar showing.

The front panel contains the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD display for: temperature measured or calculated and setting programmed delays in the system. Temperature range displayed: 0 99C with a 0,1C resolution. 2) Controller function selector On/Off. 3) Mixing valve on opening: LED on. 4) Mixing valve on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting flow temperature Temperature range: 7 78C Factory setting: - heating: max. 50C - cooling: min. 14C 6) Return sensor selector Sensor off: OFF Sensor on: ON Factory setting: ON 7) Pump running (ON): LED permanently on 8) S.T. LED - safety temperature. Permanently on when the limit signalled by the thermostat or humidistat is reached. It also comes on permanently if the flow/return sensors malfunction. (see paragraph flow/return sensor). 9) Switch for changing heating/ cooling function. 10) Adjuster for maximum duration of impulse on valve. Adjustable 0,2 - 6 s. Factory setting: 2,5 s. 11) Adjuster for time delay in reading return sensor. Adjustable 1 360 s. Factory setting: 20 s. 12) Adjuster for valve-motor mechanical time delay. Adjustable 1 30 s. Factory setting: 13 s.

Each time the FT is calculated, the actual FT is displayed for 5 s, after which the new FT calculated is shown. Changes to FT stop when RT reaches RTset. The return sensor is switched off for the cooling function.

Maximum cooling temperature limit Cooling flow temperature cannot be set greater than 25C.

Control of relative humidity When the temperature controller is used for cooling, the relative humidity sensor must be used. The function of this sensor is to detect the maximum relative humidity limit in order to prevent the formation of condensation in the cooling thermal slab. It is set at RH=80-85%. When this level is reached the following operating state is set: pump ON, mixing valve closed.

Testing the humidity sensor The functioning of the sensor must be checked at the start of each cooling season by placing a damp wad of cotton wool on the surface; this should cause the mixing valve to be switched off and switch on the red LED, 8), on the front of the control panel. Location of the humidity sensor The humidity sensor is located at the point where humidity is most likely to form which will depend on the system design. It is positioned with the carbon printed surface facing upwards as in the diagrams.

Connection of the humidity sensor The humidity sensor is connected to the temperature controller through a special transformer and converter.

High temperature distribution kit Operation The high temperature distribution kit distributes water to the heater units connected before the outlet to the secondary radiant panel circuit. It consists of a single sided dual manifold and a differential by-pass valve.

Differential by-pass

The differential by-pass valve is used to control the head to which the distribution circuit to the heater units is subjected; it facilitates circulation to the heater units and limits over pressure where there are thermostatic or electro-thermal valves.The differential valve is calibrated at the value where pressure is lost in the heater unit circuit.

High temperature distribution manifold The distributor manifold not only distributes the water in the heater unit circuits but also allows the hydronic separation between the primary and the secondary circuits. This separation improves the functioning of the secondary circuit to the panels and prevents changes in the flow rate in the primary circuit from affecting the secondary circuit. In this case, the flow rate in the respective circuits is an exclusive function of the pump flow rate and the reciprocal influence arising from coupling them in series is avoided. Two possible conditions of circuit equilibrium follow. A typical circuit design gives the following operating conditions: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating units G primary max. recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Digital temperature controller

Operation The temperature controller receives the activation signal from the ambient thermostat to start the pump and operate the mixing valve. The controller operates the mixing valves according to two logic approaches depending on whether the return sensor is on or off. Set point regulation: return sensor off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature FT is held constant at the value set using the selector 5) both for heating and for cooling. The setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return sensor on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature FT is modified as a function of the temperature measured by the return sensor RT. This keeps the actual thermal efficiency of the thermal mass and as a consequence the ambient thermal load under control. The thermal response time of the system is thus reduced to a minimum. RTset = FTset - 35% (FTset - 20C) FTcalculated = FTset + (RTset - RT)

Example: FTset = 40C RTset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C FTcalculated = 40 + (33 - RT)
10 11 12 9 6 5 The new FT value calculated is given on the display 1) with a small side bar showing.

The front panel contains the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD display for: temperature measured or calculated and setting programmed delays in the system. Temperature range displayed: 0 99C with a 0,1C resolution. 2) Controller function selector On/Off. 3) Mixing valve on opening: LCD on. 4) Mixing valve on closing: LCD on. 5) Selector for setting flow temperature Temperature range: 7 78C Factory setting: - heating: max. 50C 6) Return sensor selector Sensor off: OFF Sensor on: ON Factory setting: ON 7) Pump running (ON): LED permanently on 8) S.T. LED - safety temperature. Permanently on when the limit signalled by the safety thermostat is reached. It also comes on permanently if the flow/return sensors malfunction. 9) Switch for changing heating / control components. cooling only with RH%

Each time the FT is calculated, the real FT is displayed for 5 s, after which the new FT calculated is shown. Changes to FT stop when RT reaches RTset.

Heating safety thermostat If the safety thermostat signals a flow temperature greater than 55C the following state is set: pump OFF, mixing valve closed. The thermostat terminal is NC; if it is not connected, the temperature controller is set off.

Auxiliary micro-switch The controller is equipped with an auxiliary micro-switch which can be used to control other equipment. Example: For Heating: to switch the boiler on or off. Terminal NA- pump off-ambient thermostat OFF or safety thermostat ON (boiler off). Terminal NC-pump on-ambient thermostat ON (boiler on). Contacts rating: 5 A (230 V) Flow/return sensor The flow/return temperature sensors are of the NTC type. If the sensor detects electrical resistance that indicates a short circuit, the following operating state is set: pump OFF, mixing valve closed, led 8) permanently on.

Function CONTECA is a direct heat energy meter especially suited to measuring thermal consumption in residential buildings. Thanks to its double memory register, it is able to keep a record of power in both heating and air-conditioning modes (option 755810). The device comprises an electronic calculator unit, a positive displacement flow rate gauge and two temperature probes. The CONTECA meter is very easy to install and hardly requires any maintenance. The CONTECA meter flow rate gauge is the turbine type. The turbine speed is measured by means of a high-resistance protected magnetic joint. As the mechanism is inside a vacuum there is no condensation. The mechanism block nut, made of non-magnetic material, prevents all attempted tampering. The electronic technology and the materials used offer precise and reliable measurements. The high-precision NTC temperature probes are easy to seal for greater protection against tampering. The cables connecting the flow and return probes to the calculator unit are 1,9 m long. The CONTECA meter is equipped with an 8-digit liquid crystal display that can be turned on with a button, as it is normally off in order to minimise battery usage. This display enables easy reading of consumption values as well as a range of technical data to allow appliance operating status evaluation and data logging. Heat meter size 1/2 2 with union DN 65 DN 200 flanged The CONTECA meter is able to acquire three additional pulse inputs and two additional alarm-status digital inputs, and is designed for centralised remote transmission (max. 250 modules) in M-Bus mode.

Pre-installation guidelines It is good practice to provide shut-off valves upstream and downstream of the meter in order to facilitate installation and maintenance, if required. Upstream from the flow rate gauge, it is necessary to fit a filtering device in order to protect the gauge. From diameter 1/2 to diameter 2, this filter is already inside the flow temperature pocket. After installation, it is good practice to wash the pipes and carry out a pressure test. After washing and before installing the temperature probes, it is wise to check the mesh filter saturation level. After completing the hydraulic installation you can install the electric/electronic parts. When work has been completed, qualified technicians will lead seal the electronic module and the temperature probes.

Hydraulic installation diagrams Normally the flow rate gauge should be installed on the return pipe. The hydraulic diagrams given below show: a) Positioning the gauge The flow rate gauge should preferably be installed in a horizontal position with the turbine axis vertical, respecting the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the body, and so that it is in standby when there is no service. b) Positioning the probes The temperature probes (by means of the pocket or sleeve according to the DN) must be positioned on the corresponding flow/return pipes. The corresponding flow and return pipes are understood to be the ones involved with the same flow rate when the flow has started.

Maintenance work Filter cleaning Sometimes it will be necessary to clean the filter installed in the flow circuit in a suitable position for the protection of the flow rate gauge. By observing the instantaneous flow rate and thermal gradient values (flow rate significantly reduced in relation to the nominal user value and thermal gradient significantly increased), it is easy to work out whether the filter is saturated and then clean it as necessary.

Metering variants (systems with 4 pipes) The CONTECA system is able, after the software has been activated (see refrigeration unit option code 755810), to keep separate records of the thermie and refrigeration units. The CONTECA system also makes it possible to keep a record of thermie and refrigeration units in a four-pipe distribution system. For a 7554 series complete meter with the addition of just 1 pulse positive displacement meter code 75591. of 2 pockets code 75590. and of 2 probes code 75593. it is possible to take two complete and separate thermie/refrigeration unit measurements.

Notes: - If centralised data transmission is used, the 24 V (ac) electricity supply line should be used solely for that purpose and not directly controlled by the user. - Each 7554 series device is supplied with an anti-tamper lead sealing kit for the temperature probes and for the plastic electronics box. - Help the cables to pass through by breaking and shaping the plastic partition in the cable fairlead. The basic function of the partition is to protect the electronics card from dust and jets of water.

Operating specifications 1) The software used to control the metering process, in order to avoid unnecessary action or unwanted metering procedures, operates on the principle that consumption processing depends on a specific flow temperature value (FT). The thermie cycle is activated for a FT value >22C (factory set). The refrigeration unit cycle is activated for a FT value <15C (factory set). The set values may be modified by an authorised technician on request. 2) The software used to control the metering process also operates on the principle that consumption processing depends on the presence of a minimum temperature difference in order to further safeguard against unnecessary measurements or minimal unwanted metering deriving from natural dispersion. At the time of factory setting, a dead band of 0,4 K (factory set) is therefore defined. 3) The software used to control the metering process also works on the principle that the flow rate gauge is installed on the return pipe. Authorised technicians can, on request, adapt the configuration set so as to position the gauge on the flow pipe.

DATA CENTRALISATION
Architecture of centralisation - It is understood that every individual may have a specific idea relating to the complexity of the system and personal expectations. - It is also understood, for this very reason, that in general there is no divine law governing the drafting of a particular architecture. It is therefore true to say that an increase in the number of users, combined with the application of a centralised system, will necessarily increase the complexity of this system. In order to distinguish between a normal system and a complex system, you could argue that a centralised system with over 25 users could be a complex system which, for many obvious management-related reasons, practically requires continuous monitoring. Therefore, if the distinction made can, in principle, be perceived as correct, you can establish the following: WORKS for a NORMAL SYSTEM - Metering system - Laying down central power supply - Laying down transmission bus (code 755855/N) - Using FAST INTERFACE (code 755055) alternatively: - Using FAST/REMOTE INTERFACE (code 755056) - Using modem (code 755845 - 755846) WORKS for COMPLEX SYSTEMS (25 users or more) - Metering system - Laying down central power supply - Laying down transmission bus (code 755855/N) - Using CONTECA controller (code 755010) - Using GSM modem (code 755846) - Using data breakdown software (code 755830) and as an option - Individual user control (code 755871)

Software for the breakdown of costs relating to heat consumption

75588.

Pulse output

The software can be used to transfer or manage log files containing consumption data; these log files are transferred as necessary onto an office PC to produce a printout of consumption and heating cost breakdown (thermie and refrigeration units), as well as any additional consumption (domestic water/electricity/gas). The reports are generated in Windows. N.B.: A comprehensive installation and user guide manual is an aid to performing the various operational steps.

The pulse output can be used to transfer the thermie and/or refrigeration unit energy values to a generic acquirer. The pulse weighs 1 kWh. The pulse output with no potential is an open collector with pulse period 120 ms - Vmax 24 V (dc).

Consumption certification The natural difficulties in starting up a centralised system suggest it is wise to rely on a competent SERVICE, monitoring the first year of operation and then hopefully confirming this service for future years. Relying on a competent service means: - Having installed a centralized transmission system (controller code 755010 and modem, GSM code 755846). - Formally providing the service company with consent for the processing of your personal data. and therefore: - On request, Caleffi (via a regional service) offers FREE monitoring of consumption data for the first year of operation. - Caleffi sends monthly reports on the CERTIFIED consumption to the administration manager of the complex. At the end of the first year of operation, Caleffi, through its own regional services, offers product service and consumption certification contractors in times and manners to be defined.

Refrigeration unit metering

The CONTECA meter, once the software module has been activated, is able to keep a record of the thermie and refrigeration units in separate registers through the evaluation of the thermal gradient inversion, both for current values and for log files.

The CONTECA module can, through the application of Hardware/Software code 755825, acquire an additional pulse input (as well as the 2 already dedicated to DHW and DCW). Sometimes, and normally when there is a controller (code 755010, it is beneficial to use the bus to transfer the user data in terms of consumption (gas meter / electricity meter). The generic pulse input must have no potential (no voltage, maximum frequency 1 Hz). Class IB. Residences and hotels are particularly suitable types of users.

Function The zone valves allow the automatic shut-off of circuits in heating and air conditioning systems. The series 642 (two-way) and 643 (three-way) zone valves are equipped with a spring return actuator with a synchronous motor and auxiliary microswitch. They are therefore extremely versatile and suitable for use in both heating and air conditioning systems. The actuator is fitted with a mechanism for rapidly clipping it onto the body of the valve which also makes it easy to remove.

Operating principle With the electrical supply off, the actuator keeps the valve in the closed position. When an ambient temperature thermostat or other electrical device switches the supply on, the actuator moves the paddle into the open position. When the supply is turned off, the valve closes again due to the action of a return spring.

Construction details Auxiliary microswitch The actuator is fitted with a microswitch to operate devices such as, for example, a circulating pump. The microswitch comes on when the valve is 60% open. Manual opening The valve can be opened manually by moving the lever to lock open position. When the power is re s t o red the manual control is automatically overridden. Clip on actuator A rapid clip-on system makes it easy to remove it from the body of the valve for maintenance or replacement operations. Warning: the actuator can only be used with valve bodies 642 and 643 series. Operation The actuator is fitted with a special mechanism for gradual movement of the valve paddle which prevents judder and vibration due to the inertia of the gearmotor.

Removal of the actuator 1. Set the lever on the side of the actuator to the open position (or to manual opening). 2. Press the open button on the side of the actuator and remove the actuator.

- When installed inside a casing it is important to ensure that there is adequate ventilation inside the casing itself. - The three-way valve cannot be transformed into a two-way valve and vice versa. - When zone valves are installed, the correct direction of flow must be observed as shown in the diagrams below. - Two-way zone valves can be installed on both the flow and return sides; the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the body of the valve must be observed. Fitting of the actuator 1. Set the lever on the side of the actuator to the open position (or manual opening). 2. Check that the actuator is correctly positioned with respect to the valve as determined by the different dimensions of the operating stem and the locking pin. 3. P ress the open button fully down. Clip on the actuator and release the button.

Ice detection and control system

CALEFFI
series 605 01117/04 GB

Function The control unit detects the presence of ice and snow by a sensor that measures outside temperature and relative humidity. There are two types of sensor: - code 605010 and 605020 suitable for open spaces such as garages, parking places, steps, footpaths or loading ramps; - code 605030 used for gutters, flat roofs or dish antennas. Once the risk of ice formation has been detected, the unit is capable of switching on heating devices for the surfaces at risk.

Two heat sensors are located inside the sensor units completely embedded in protective polymer: - an NTC which measures temperature; - a hybrid PTC with a metallic electrode (more reliable than sensors that are normally used which can become dirty, corroded or short circuit) which measures relative humidity. The sensors function in combination with the control unit as follows: 1) the sensor detects a temperature lower than that set with selector 4; 2) the sensor itself heats to melt ice or snow that may be present; 3) after 4 minutes the sensor measures the relative humidity as a function of the change in the consumption of current; 4) if the relative humidity measured is higher than the value set by selector 5, the heating is switched on because two determining conditions are both met (low temperature and high relative humidity); 5) the heating remains on for the time set using selector 2. 6) the sensor repeats the following two checks of the environment 5 minutes before the heating is switched off: a) if the conditions are the same, the heating remains on for another cycle; b) if the temperature or the relative humidity have returned to normal levels the heating switches off at the end of the period set using selector 2.

1. Minimum working temperature The temperature setting range is from -5 to -25C. Recommended: -15C. The selector is for setting the temperature at which the unit stops functioning temporarily. 2. Heating time Setting range: from 30 to 90 minutes. The time set is the minimum that the heating will operate for (outlet SH on the terminal board). 3. Temperature The LED comes on if the sensor detects a temperature lower than that set with selector 4. If this occurs, the sensor is ready to measure the relative humidity as indicated in the paragraph Sensor Functioning. 4. Maximum working temperature The temperature setting range is from -3 to +5C. Recommended: +4C. The selector is for setting the temperature at which the unit stops functioning temporarily. 5. Sensitivity of relative humidity sensor Setting range: from 1 to 5. Recommended: 4. The sensitivity of the ice and snow detection system is lowest when set on 1. This means that the sensor must be very wet to detect the presence of humidity. On position 5, instead, it is very sensitive. 6. Humidity The LED flashes when the humidity is higher than the value set with selector 5; it only flashes if the LED 3 Temperature is on. 7. Heating The LED comes on when the heating is switched on. 8. Power The LED is green and comes on when power is supplied to the regulator. 9. Heating sensor The LED is red and comes on when the sensor for measuring the relative humidity is operating. 10. Test button The test button is used to switch the heating on regardless of the real ambient conditions (LED 7 on). If a yellow LED (No. 6) starts to flash during the test period, then a fault has occurred in the humidity sensor.

Installation Warning: a control unit can be connected to one sensor only. Instructions for the 605010 and 605020 code sensor installation. The cable enters the bottom part of the sensor. The sensor must be fitted in a special embedded brass housing supplied with it (see diagram) which allows easy fitting and replacement if necessary. It is recommended that the sensor is located where low temperatures and humidity are most probable such as in shaded places. The sensors must be installed as illustrated in figures 1 and 2 so that the surface of the sensor is flush with the surface of the ground. If the sensor is fitted on ramps or sloping surfaces they must be positioned horizontally so that snow or melted water is trapped by them.
Heating cable Sensor

Instructions for the 605030 code sensor installation Position the sensor at the centre of the gutter using the screws supplied (warning the thread of the screws must not be longer than 10 mm). The sensor must be fitted on the drilled metal support supplied which is clipped into the gutter or surface to be controlled, preferably close to the outlet of the gutter itself. If it is fitted on a dish antenna, it should be fitted horizontally on the lower flat part. The heating cable must be fitted on the back of the dish and fixed with the adhesive clip (607120 code). Warning: too much mechanical pressure on the surface of the sensor may damage it.

Operational/functional characteristics Relay output Each relay output of the power bar has a double switchover. Master function The MASTER function is the authority of a temperature control device to define periods of attenuation for itself and for the other devices (slaves) associated with it. The MASTER function can be performed only by the radio chrono-thermostat (740000 code). It is nevertheless possible to combine more than one master in a temperature control system. The decision to have a temperature control system with a number of master chrono-thermostats that interact with the 8-channel receiver may be made in order to have 2 or more entirely separate and independent zones as regards both time and temperature levels. After making this first distinction, the other temperature control devices can, in the self-learning phase, be associated with a specific master or remain completely independent. All the devices associated in the learning phase are independent in comfort operation as regards their temperature settings. The temperature setting can be selected on the thermostat knob. During attenuation, controlled by the master chrono-thermostat with its clock function, the crossed devices check that the attenuation setting selected on the master chrono-thermostat is observed. Lastly, all the devices (thermostats and chrono-thermostats too) that are not combined with a master device act independently according to their temperature settings. The association criterion must follow the proper path:

It is therefore possible to pilot both a two-wire and a 3-wire generic valve. - PUMP CONTROL The pump control permits starting up the pump when there is an active channel (zone) and stopping the pump when all the channels are OFF. Since thermo-electric actuators, characterised by a starting lag (delay), are often installed, pump starting can be programmed in the receiver as: R - Delayed (120 s) or I - Instantaneous

Radio systems - architecture


The modularity and ease of transmitter/receiver coupling make various operational architectures possible. The modular implementation makes it easy, even in the future, to add on new temperature control devices. All this is possible until the capacities of the receiver and differentiated outputs (power bar relay) are fully saturated. The following suggestions are by no means exhaustive.

1) Temperature control of a single zone (consumer plumbing boxes made of metal).

The distinction between wall-mounting receiver (740100 code) and concealed receiver (740101 code) depends on the type of material (metal - plastic) of the plumbing box. N.B. The metal boxes have the property of shielding the radio signals. Note: For both solutions it is possible to supply a complete pre-wired kit. 740102 code - Timer + wall-mounting receiver 740112 code - Timer + wall-mounting receiver + servomotor 646002 code 740103 code - Timer + concealed receiver 740113 code - Timer + concealed receiver + servomotor 646002 code

3) Temperature control of two completely independent zones

With the same 2-channel wall-mounting receiver (740104 code) it is possible to have two setups. - Each zone is governed by its own chrono-thermostat with its own time settings and levels of comfort and attenuation settings.

740000 code

- The system pump is activated when required by a zone. - The system pump is stopped if no zone requires the temperature control service.

The type of system is identical to that of example 3. 740201 code

In this example, the chrono-thermostat 740000 code, according to its programming, determines the comfort and attenuation times for both zones. In periods of comfort zone 1 is temperature controlled according to the first temperature setting and zone (2) is governed according to the temperature setting selected on the radio thermostat (740201 code). In periods of attenuation zone 1 and zone 2 are temperature controlled according to the attenuation temperature setting of the chrono-thermostat.

Under the control of a single relay it is possible to associate one or more electrical valves (this is particularly suited to control a room served by 2 - 3 floor loops where there is a single thermostat or chrono-thermostat. The number of electric valves that can be associated is determined by the saturation of the intensity of the current 5 (2) A of the contacts of the single relay. In the case of thermo-electric actuator (series 6560), devices with a high input especially at start-up, the maximum number of controls that can be associated with the same relay (channel) is: 656102 code - 230 V - max 4 656104 code - 24 V - max 2

Alternative solutions Referring to diagram 5, which considers a single temperature control device as master and all the others as slaves, we can see how the user can reconfigure some devices either as masters of themselves or of other devices. It is thus possible to split a large zone (consumer) into several zones with or without associating the other temperature control devices. It is likewise possible to suspend the master function temporarily. The phase of personalization guided by audible and visual signals is characterised by the self-learning function and permits these modifications easily even by NON specialized personnel.

Tx-Rx SELF-LEARNING procedure The self-learning function is necessary in the phase of the first installation to couple each transmission device (chrono-thermostat/thermostat) with a specific channel of the receiver. - Press the TEST key on the thermostat or chrono-thermostat for at least 4 seconds. - By keeping the button pressed on the receiver for the channel where you want to save the transmitter (e.g. channel 1), coupling is performed. The channel LED blinks

MASTER setup This function is only active on the chrono-thermostat. Remember that this function is used to combine a set of devices that are already coupled (transmitter/receiver channel) with a main device (MASTER) that, for the entire set, will modulate the periods of comfort and attenuation. - Press the MASTER key on the chrono-thermostat until the display shows

MASTER
- When the MASTER radio signal reaches the receiver, the channel LEDs will show the current situation according to the following logic 1) LED blinking Channel under the domain of the active master

to confirm acquisition. - Turn off the TEST function on the thermostat or chrono-thermostat. And then proceed in the same way to couple the other devices. Note: When receiving a test signal the channel LED may be in the following three conditions: 1) LED on steady The channel is already occupied by another device 2) LED blinking Channel learned by the device at that time in the test phase 3) LED off The channel is free of devices

2) LED off Channel free and not in the domain of the active master Any outputs on which the transmitting device defined master has already been self-learned, it starts blinking since a self-learned chrono-thermostat is already master of itself.

Signal diagnostics During the self-learning procedure the receiver supplies the quality of the signal at visual and audible level by progressively illuminating the three LEDs accompanied by a beep. LED 1 + LED 2 + LED 3 on - high power LED 1 + LED 2 on - medium power LED 1 on - low power The visual-audible sequence is repeated cyclically every 3 seconds.

CALEFFI
ISO 9001

01119/06 GB

Function The heating system is generally composed of a heating cable and a thermostat connected to the normal electric mains. It is used for ice control and snow removal from ramps, steps, pedestrian crossings and ramps for otherwise-abled persons. The heating power released by the constant power consumption cable, on the contrary to the self-regulating type, is independent of the temperature. This feature ensures simple calculations for correct sizing, low costs and ease of installation; in addition, it can also be used to maintain temperature levels in rooms.

Operating principle The heating cable with constant power consumption is composed of a double copper alloy conductor with a earth conductor, XLPE (cross-linked polymer) insulation and PVC outer coating. The cable is the resistive type, where the live conductor generates heat by the Joule effect. The heating cable is supplied already terminated and ready for installation.

COLD CABLE

HOT CABLE

This is comprehensive of 10 metres of cold cable (that is the portion of non-resistive cable that ensures simple passage of current) with the possibility of reducing it by cutting off the excess. The section is identifiable thanks to asterisks marked on the outer coating. The joint between the hot cable and cold cable is marked with the word SPLICE, where the hot cable starts.

Sizing The heating cable is supplied in coils of a fixed length and cannot be shortened or joined to another heating cable. Depending on the location and pitch between the turns it is possible to determine the power per square metre to supply.

The following table gives the average operating powers according to the situation: Type of installation Plain only ice Plain ice plus snow Mountain (above 800 metres) only ice Mountain (above 800 metres) ice plus snow Necessary power 180 W/m2 200 W/m2 200 W/m2 240 W/m2

The second table gives the surface area it is possible to control with each section of heating cable according to the required parameters. The centre distance between the turns (pitch) depends on the power to install per square metre and can be obtained from the last row in the table.

The hot portion of cable must always be completely sunk into the concrete and never installed in ducts or other construction components. To avoid overheating or malfunctioning, lay the cable avoiding abnormal overlapping or crossovers. It is essential to protect the heating cable from any deformation where there are crossovers of the expansion joints by using an omega section at the joint, without using ducting. It will be possible to lay the surface finish once the heating circuits have been made. Do not tread on the cable during the phase of laying and anyhow avoid causing any kind of damage when casting the concrete. Cast the concrete in the same direction in which the cable runs to avoid altering its layout. If asphalt is used, the temperature of the casting must not exceed 160C. Electrical tests It is necessary to check that the electrical magnitudes of continuity, insulation and input do not change when laying, so they will be checked before and after casting the concrete slab and marked on a specific card supplied in the package that will be kept in the junction box for future checks. Do not power up the heating cable until the concrete has completely dried, which is normally 6-8 weeks after laying. Although the cable can be used by connecting it directly to the electric mains via a switch, to avoid wasting power it is recommended to use a thermostat or an ice control unit that will automatically switch on only when operation is actually necessary.

Also enables optimisation of the standard configuration set at the factory, allowing personal control of the operation of the system. If this value matches the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB), the regulation complies with the calculation criteria given by the characteristic curve. If this value is different from the setting on the main printed circuit board (item 6 PCB) the controller will recalculate the new characteristic curve. The maximum set temperature, however, remains active. This selector also determines the characteristic cooling curve, as it uses the inclination of the first line of the curve, constructed for the heating (see characteristic curve graph). 10) Start or stop cooling selector. If the outside temperature is higher than the set value, the cooling function is activated. Factory setting: 24C. Characteristic curve The characteristic curve is determined taking into account the following parameters: a) Max flow temperature set on controller (item 9 PCB). Factory setting: 45C. Min flow temperature set on printed circuit board (item 5 PCB). Factory setting: 20C. Min outside temperature set on printed circuit board (item 1 PCB). Factory setting: -10C.

The controller, which is normally installed on the unit, can also be positioned remotely, following the electrical wiring scheme.

The front panel of the controller shows the following functions: 1) The LED is lit when there is a risk of condensation forming in the cooling function (the mixing valve is closed). In the heating function, this lights up intermittently during the screed drying phase. The LED is lit in the cooling function. The LED is lit in the heating function.

Summer function. Cooling is activated if required by the ambient conditions (TOutside greater than the value set at point 10) and dependant on the clock settings.This activation takes place after ten minute if the outside temperature is more than 1C above the set value. With the exclusion of heating, the frost protection function remains active. Note: Normally, with the clock programme, the changeover from heating to cooling takes place after the outside temperature has been higher than the set value for at least half an hour. This selector position can therefore be used to effect a changeover to cooling. Temperature and characteristic curve selector. This selector enables the user to input the maximum required flow temperature, corresponding to the minimum outside design temperature.

The characteristic curve has a straight line format. In the example shown below, it has been calculated using the factory set values. Example of calculation of characteristic curve X Axis- Outside temperature - TX Y Axis- Flow temperature - TY Calculation of minimum and maximum points Point A: given by the intersection of Tmax X (18C) and Tmin Y (20C). Point B: given by the intersection of Tmin X (-10C) and Tmax Y (45C). Calculation of slope change points Calculate the difference X between Tmax X and Tmin X. Thus: X = 18 - (-10) = 28C. Calculate the difference Y between Tmax Y and Tmin Y. Thus: Y = 45 - 20 = 25C. Points of change C and D of the curve are identified as follows: Point C given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 25% X = 18 - 0,25 28 = 11C Y = Tmin Y + 55% Y = 20 + 0,55 25 = 33,75C Point D given by the intersection between: X = Tmax X - 50% X = 18 - 0,5 28 = 4C Y = Tmin Y + 80% Y = 20 + 0,8 25 = 40C Point E is the cooling starting point, whose characteristic curve has the same slope as section A-C.

Correction selector for comfort mode. Range of adjustment from -25% to +25%. Factory setting: correction = 0%. The selector determines a parallel displacement of the characteristic curve according to the new percentage value selected in the comfort range (red indicator). Example: if the selector is set to +25%, its effect on the flow temperature will be as follows: +25% Y = 0,25 25 = 6,25C. The characteristic curve is then moved upwards by 6,25C. This has no effect on the cooling function.

Minimum outside temperature (Tmin X), adjustable from -5C to -20C, to which the set maximum flow temperature corresponds (Tmax Y). Factory setting: -10C. Set-back mode exclusion selector, adjustable from 0C to -20C. Factory setting: -15C. If the outside temperature falls below the set value, the heating is reactivated according to the characteristic curve of the comfort mode.

2)

12)

Correction selector for set-back mode. Range of adjustment from 0% to -50%. Factory setting: correction = -25%. The selector determines a parallel displacement of the characteristic curve according to the new percentage value selected in the set-back range (blue indicator). Example: if the selector is set to -25%, its effect on the flow temperature will be as follows: -25% Y = -0,25 25 = -6,25C. The characteristic curve is thus moved downwards by 6,25C. In addition, if, following this move, the flow temperature has to be lower than the minimum heating start temperature (Tmin Y), the following state will be obtained: circulator OFF and mixing valve closed. This has no effect on the cooling function.

Maximum outside temperature to start heating, or summer limit, (Tmax X), adjustable from 14C to 22C. Factory setting: 18C. An outside temperature higher than the set value will cause the following state: circulator OFF and mixing valve closed. An outside temperature 4C higher than the set value will cause activation of the cooling, if this outside temperature is greater than the value set on the front panel, item 10. If this temperature is lower, cooling will start following a preparatory phase, where Tflow equals the setTminY as at item 5 of the printed board circuit. Example: TO set on front panel=24C, TO set on PCB= 18C; TminY = 20C. Activation will take place: at TO = 22C (18+4) = preparatory phase at TO = 24C following the characteristic curve. 4) Selection microswitch for screed setting drying program. Factory setting: OFF (1234). This program is used for carrying out correct drying of the screed, above which the final flooring will be laid (its activation excludes all other functions). The program has a duration of seven days: during the first three days, the flow temperature is maintained at 25C, whilst for the remaining four days, the flow temperature is raised and maintained at the maximum temperature value set at point 9 on the front panel. The activation of this program is displyed by the flashing LED on the front panel, point 1. The frequency of flashing indicates the number of drying days which have passed: one pulse every 8 seconds indicates day 1, two pulses every 8 seconds indicates day 2, etc. If the electricity has to be switched off in this phase, the controller will start its drying cycle again from the beginning. The front panel LED, point 1, continuously lit, indicates the end of the drying program. At this point the microswitch should be turned to OFF. Note: In manual mode the screed drying procedure cannot be activated. When cooling, this series of microswitches has the function of limiting the minimum temperature transmitted to the panel. This minimum temperature depends on the characteristics of the system and the type of air conditioning adopted. The different activation configurations are shown below. Factory configuration: 16C.

13) Daily or weekly analogue clock, used to select the heating or cooling phases required with: the red indicators for heating comfort and set-back, the blue indicators to start and stop cooling, white indicator for heating and cooling with the same time programme. Factory configuration: daily mode, minimum selection interval 15 min.. The changeover from daily to weekly mode, with a 60 min. minimum selection interval, is carried out as follows: raise the outer ring and move the drive ring to the required position; to do this, turn the pointer clockwise until the innermost notch coincides with one of the outer notches. Reposition the outer ring, making sure that the reference day shown on it falls in the operating sector of the switching point.

Selector for minimum flow temperature at heating start-up (Tmin Y). Adjustable from 20C to 40C. Factory setting: 20C. Maximum limit temperature selector. Adjustable from 35C to 65C. Factory setting: 50C. In case a higher value has been set at point 7 of the front panel, this will be restricted to the limit value. Neutral zone regulation selector. Adjustable from 1,5C to 6C. Factory setting: 2C (equivalent to 1C). If the flow temperature variation remains within the temperature value selected in the neutral zone, the mixing valve remains inactive. When cooling, the neutral zone automatically takes the value 1,5C.

6)

Humidity sensor control At the start of each cooling season, the operating condition of the sensor should be checked by placing a damp pad on its surface; this operation should cause the mixing valve to close and the yellow LED, point 1 on the front panel, to light. Positioning humidity sensor The humidity sensor must be positioned at the point where there is most risk of the formation of condensation, depending on the characteristics of the system. It must be positioned with the printed part upward, according to the diagrams shown below.

8) RF(%) Return sensor regulation selector. Adjustable from 0% to 100%. Factory setting: 80%. This selector is used to optimise the system output accordign to the difference in temperature between flow and return (T). T is calculated as a percentage of the flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve. TY = (Tflow set Y - Tmin Y) T = TY 0,3. Treturn Y = Tflow set Y - T Tcalculated flow = Tflow set Y + RF% (Treturn set Y - Treturn Y) Example with factory setting values: Flow temperature calculated on the characteristic curve: Tflow set Y = 40C (project conditions). TY = (40 - 20) = 20C T = 20 0,3 = 6C Treturn set Y = 40 - 6 = 34C. If the return temperature measured (Treturn Y) is Treturn set Y, the controller will modify the characteristic curve, moving it upwards or downwards, to restore the return temperature to that set. If Treturn Y = 30C Tcalculated flow = 40C + 0,8 (34-30) = 43,2C This continuous comparison prevents room overheating caused by gratuitous heat sources modifying the heating load. There is no effect on the cooling function. Thus:

Layouts for the correct positioning of the max RH% limit sensor. The sensor should be fixed to the manifold installed in the position where the RH% relative humidity value has not to exceed the safety limits. Fix by inserting the two straps contained in the package through the suitable holes on the sensor.

9) Auxiliary contact. This contact opens when the mixing valve is completely closed to the secondary and open to the primary. It can be used to shut down the pump of the primary circuit or the boiler. 10) UR Relative humidity sensor wiring. This sensor is used to detect the limiting value of relative humidity to prevent condensation on the cooling surface. This is calibrated for RH= 80 - 85%. When the calibrated value is reached, this will cause the following state: mixing valve closed, pump ON. If various zones at risk of condensation are to be controlled, the humidity sensor must be connected to a suitable interface kit (transformer, converter and humidity sensor). Up to 12 converters plus sensor can be connected to a single transformer.

The maximum heat energy that the panel can produce, in relation to the climate values recorded, can be reached by controlling the parameters below. - Minimum flow temperature on the characteristic curve, which can be selected through the microswitch (point 4 on the back panel). - Sensor controlled maximum RH% limit. - Room temperature controlled through room thermostat (code 151000). - Room temperature and relative humidity controlled through a dedicated fan-coil or dehumidifier). N.B.: When installing the RH% limit sensor according to the diagrams, as indicated, possible formation of condensation on the surface is anticipated. In areas where the max RH% limit sensor is installed, adequate ventilation must always be present.

Example of safety thermostat application on system low temperature branch circuit

Operation of the room thermostat The room thermostat makes it possible to optimise the operation of the system, as it modifies the regulating curve automatically. Depending on the time periods for comfort and set-back selected on the clock and the room temperature setting, it will read the actual room temperature. On the basis of this parameter, it will make any necessary modification to the characteristic curve (A) for the purpose of accelerating operation and preventing excessive heating and cooling of the room. The difference between the actual room temperature measured by the thermostat and the set temperature produces an amplified effect in relation to that produced by a similar variation in the outside temperature. A difference of 1C in the room temperature causes a move of the characterisitc curve equal to 7C of the outside temperature, with the corresponding variation in flow temperature. For example, if Troom set = 20C and Troom measured = 19C, than the difference of 1C will cause a movement of the characteristic curve of 7C towards the left (B). The flow temperature will consequently be raised. In the case of a negative difference, the movement will take place on the curve C. This behaviour is applicable for a maximum difference of 3C in the room temperature. In addition, the maximum temperature limit set at item 6 on the PCB remains active. In the set-back band, the set room temperature is automatically reduced by 2C, thus defining Tset set-back. This reduction will cause a move to the right of the characteristic curve, equating to 14C of the outside temperature (D), with a corresponding variation in flow temperature. Whenever the measured room temperature falls below Tset set-back, the initial characteristic curve (A) will be restored with the set-back correction set at point 12 on the front panel.

Operating principle The regulating element of the three-way thermostatic valve is a temperature sensor, which is completely immersed in the outlet chamber of mixed water. It continuously regulates the correct proportions of hot water from the boiler and of return water from the panel circuit by expanding or contracting. It regulates these flows by means of a shutter which slides in a special cylinder located between the hot water and the water returning from the panel circuit passage seats. Even if the thermal load of the secondary circuit or the temperature of the water coming from the boiler changes, the mixing valve will automatically regulate the flow of water to provide water at the temperature that has been set.

Construction details Reduced pressure loss The three way mixing valve is fitted with a special shutter which operates in special seatings where the water passes. It therefore guarantees high flow rates with reduced obstruction, while maintaining accurate temperature regulation.

Replaceable cartridge The internal cartridge which contains all the regulation components is pre-assembled in a single unit and can be easily inspected for cleaning or replacement if required without the need to remove the valve body from the piping.

Anti-stick surfaces All the functional parts, such as the shutter, the seatings and guides have chemically nickel plated surfaces. This surface treatment reduces the wear of moving parts to a minimum and guarantees high performance and long life.

Low heat inertia thermostat sensor The element that is sensitive to temperature change, the engine of the three-way thermostatic valve, has low thermal inertia; it therefore reacts quickly to changes in the temperature and pressure of the inlet water which allows the valve to respond rapidly.

Temperature regulation and lock device The temperature can be set between minimum and maximum with one turn of the control knob (360). There is also a tamper-proof device for locking the temperature set.

When the differential pressure set for the valve is reached, the valve opens and allows fluid to pass between the flow and return of the circuit, limiting the differential pressure at the value set. If the individual circuits to panels are shut-off by automatic two way on/off or modulating valves, the valve prevents excessive fluid velocities and the pump from overheating.

3) Replacement cartridges come complete with adjustment knobs.

Function The controller can be used with three-point motorized mixing valves with rotation times ranging between 30 and 240 seconds. It performs both set point and modulating regulation. In the modulating mode, the controller automatically varies the flow temperature depending on the actual value of the system return temperature. This is detected to indicate the instantaneous ambient load. This reduces system operating times and power overloads. The controller is equipped with flow and return temperature probes and a wiring box for an easy use when mounted on the wall. It can also be connected from the back by means of a standard recessed electrical box.

Digital controller 2 7 3 4 8 1

Operating principle The controller receives the activation signal from the ambient thermostat to start the pump and operate the mixing valve. The controller operates the mixing valve according to two logic approaches, depending on whether the return probe is on or off. Set point regulation: return probe off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature FT is held constant at the value set using the selector 5) for both heating and cooling. The setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return probe on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature FT is modified as a function of the temperature measured by the return probe RT. This keeps under control the actual thermal efficiency of the slab and as a consequence the ambient thermal load. This thermal response time of the system is thus reduced to a minimum. RTset = FTset - 35% (FTset - 20C) FTcalculated = FTset + (RTset - RT)

11

12

Example: FTset = 40C RTset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C FTcalculated = 40 + (33 - RT)
The new FT value calculated is shown on the display 1) highlighted a side bar.

The front panel contains the following functions:

1) Three-digit LCD showing: measured or calculated temperature and settings of the delays programmed in the system. Temperature range displayed: 099C with 0,1C resolution. 2) Controller function selector ON/OFF. 3) Mixing valve on opening: LED on. 4) Mixing valve on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting flow temperature. Temperature range 778C Factory setting: - heating: max. 50C - cooling: min. 14C 6) Return probe switch. Probe off: OFF Probe on: ON Factory setting: ON 7) Pump operating (ON): LED permanently on. 8) S.T. LED safety temperature. Continuously ON when the limit indicated by the safety thermostat or safety humidostat is reached. Also continuously ON in case of flow/return probe malfunction (see flow/return probe paragraph). 9) Heating/cooling function exchange switch 10) Trimmer for maximum impulse duration on the valve. Adjustable 0,26 s. Factory setting: 2,5 s. Calculation of impulse value: Tpulse. (s) =

Each time the FT is calculated, the measured FT is displayed for 5 s, after which the new calculated FT is shown. Changes to FT stop when the RT reaches the RTset. The return probe is switched off during the cooling function. Curve correction with return probe

Heating safety thermostat If the safety thermostat trips, on detecting a higher flow temperature than the setting, the following state comes into operation: pump OFF, mixing valve closed. The thermostat contact is N/C; if the connection is missing, the controller is off. Auxiliary microswitch The controller is equipped with an auxiliary microswitch which can be used to control other equipments. Example: For Heating, to switch the boiler on or off. N/O contact - Pump off - ambient thermostat OFF or safety thermostat on (boiler off). N/C contact - Pump on - ambient thermostat ON (boiler on). For Cooling, to switch the chiller unit on or off. N/O contact - Pump off - ambient thermostat OFF or RH% limit probe on (chiller unit off). N/C contact - Pump on - ambient thermostat ON (chiller unit on). Contact rating: 5 / (2) A (230 V). Flow/return probe The flow/return temperature probes are the NTC type. If the probes detect ohmic resistance indicating a short circuit, the following operating state is set: pump OFF, mixing valve closed, LED 8) permanently on.

Maximum cooling temperature limit Cooling flow temperature cannot be set greater than 25C.

Control of relative humidity When the controller is used for cooling, the relative humidity probe must be used. The function of this probe is to detect the maximum relative humidity limit in order to prevent the formation of condensation in the cooling slab. It is set for RH = 8085%. When this level is reached, the following operating state is set: pump ON, mixing valve closed. Connection of the humidity probe The humidity probe is connected to the controller through a special transformer and converter.

Testing the humidity probe The functioning of the probe must be checked at the start of each cooling season by placing a damp wad of cotton wool on the surface; this should cause the mixing valve to be switched off and switch on the red LED point 8 on the front of the control panel. Location of the humidity probe The humidity probe is located at the point where humidity is most likely to form which will depend on the system design. It is positioned with the carbon printed surface facing upwards as in the following diagrams.

Function Deaerators-dirt separators are used to continuously eliminate the air and dirt contained in the hydraulic circuits of heating and cooling systems. The air discharge capacity of these devices is very high. They are capable of automatically removing all the air present in the system down to micro-bubble level. At the same time they separate dirt and impurities contained in the water within the circuit and collect them in the lower part of the valve body, from which they may be expelled. The circulation of fully deaerated water enables the equipment to operate under optimum conditions, free from any noise, corrosion, localised overheating or mechanical damage. Flanged and weld-end deaerators-dirt separators are supplied complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation to ensure perfect thermal insulation when used in both hot and chilled water systems.

Operating principle The deaerator-dirt separator uses the combined action of several physical principles. The active part consists of an assembly of concentric metal mesh surfaces. These elements create the whirling movement required to facilitate the release of micro-bubbles and their adhesion to these surfaces. The bubbles, fusing with each other, increase in volume until the hydrostatic thrust is such as to overcome the adhesion force to the structure. They rise towards the top of the unit from which they are released through a float-operated automatic air release valve. The impurities in the water, colliding with the metal surfaces of the internal element, are separated out and fall to the bottom of the valve body.

Construction details The particular construction of the DISCALDIRT allows it to be maintained and cleaned without removing the device from the system. Note the following: The moving parts that control the air venting are accessed simply by removing the upper cover (1). The deaerator-dirt separator automatic air vent, located at the top of the device, is equipped with a long chamber for float movement (2). This feature prevents any impurities in the water from reaching the seal seat. Simply unscrew the top part of the casing (3) to clean the entire air venting system. Flanged and weld-end deaerators-dirt separetors are equipped with a cock (4) that has the dual function of releasing large quantities of air when the system is being filled and of removing the impurities that float on top of the water.

When checking the internal element of threaded deaerators-dirt separators, simply unscrew the large dirt collection chamber (5) to 2 2 which the internal element is fixed, so that it can be removed for 3 5 3 cleaning. Threaded versions of DISCALDIRT have a collection chamber equipped with a shut-off cock and hose attachment with plug (6), while flanged and weld-end versions have a ball shut-off valve (7). 4 This 6 means impurities can even be expelled while the system is in operation.

6 7 7 Insulation Flanged and weld-end DISCALDIRT devices are supplied complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation. This system ensures not only perfect thermal insulation, but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapour from entering the unit. For this reason, this type of insulation may also be used in cooling water circuits as it prevents condensation from forming on the surface of the valve body. 7

The process of air formation The amount of air which can remain dissolved in a water solution is a function of pressure and temperature. This relationship is governed by Henrys Law and the graph below allows the physical phenomenon of the air content release of the fluid to be quantified. As an example, at a constant absolute pressure of 2 bar, if the water is heated from 20C to 80C, the amount of air released by the solution is equal to 18 l per m3 of water. According to this law it can be seen that the amount of air released increases with temperature rise and pressure reduction. The air comes in the form of micro-bubbles of diameters in the order of tenths of a millimetre. In heating and cooling systems there are specific points where this process of formation of micro-bubbles takes place continuously: in the boiler and in any device which operates under conditions of cavitation.

Boiler micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles are formed continuously on the surface separating the water from the combustion chamber due to the fluid temperature. Combustion chamber This air, carried Flame temperature 1000C wall by the water, collects in the Boundary layer critical points of FLAME WATER the circuit from where it must be Micro-bubbles removed. Some Wall temperature Boundary layer of this air is 160C temperature 156C reabsorbed in Average water the presence of temperature 70C colder surfaces.

Cavitation and micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles develop where the fluid velocity is very high with the corresponding reduction in pressure. These points are typically the pump impeller and the regulating valve seating. These Implosions Seat-obturator air and vapour distance Cavitation micro-bubbles, micro-bubbles the formation which is of Pressure Velocity enhanced in the case of non de-aerated Fluid vapour pressure may water, subsequently implode due to the cavitation phenomenon.

Separation efficiency The capacity for separating the impurities in the medium circulating in the closed circuits of the systems basically depends on three parameters: 1) It increases as the size and mass of the particle increase. The larger and heavier particles drop before the lighter ones. 2) It increases as the speed decreases. If the speed decreases, there is a calm zone inside the dirt separator and the particles separate more easily. 3) It increases as the number of recirculations increases. The medium in the circuit, flowing through the dirt separator a number of times during operation, is subjected to a progressive action of separation, until the impurities are completely removed. The Caleffi DISCALDIRT deareator-dirt separator, thanks to the special design of its internal element, is able to completely separate the impurities in the circuit down to a minimum particle size of 5 m. The graph alongside, summarising the tests carried out in a specialised laboratory (TNO - Science and Industry), illustrates how it is able to quickly separate nearly all the impurities. After only 50 recirculations, approximately one day of operation, up to 100% is effectively removed from the circuit for particles of diameter greater than 100 m and on average up to 80% taking account of the smallest particles. The continual passing of the medium during normal operation of the system gradually leads to complete dirt removal. Reduced head losses A normal Y strainer performs its function via a metal mesh selected for the size of the largest particle. The medium therefore has a consequent initial loss of head that increases as the degree of clogging increases. Whereas, the dirt separator carries out its action by the particles striking the internal element and subsequently dropping into the collection chamber. The consequent head losses are greatly reduced and are not affected by the amount of impurities collected. The graph alongside shows a comparison of the differences in head loss between the two types of device.

Installation DISCALDIRT devices may be used in both heating and cooling circuits, to guarantee progressive elimination of impurities and air which form continuously. They should preferably be installed after the boiler, on the pump suction side, as this is where most of the micro-bubbles form. DISCALDIRT deaerators-dirt separators must be installed in a vertical position. It is recommended that the air vent cap is replaced with a Caleffi 5620 series hygroscopic safety cap if the device is installed in a location that cannot be inspected.

DISCALAIR high-performance automatic air vent


551 series

CALEFFI
ISO 9001

01124/06 GB

Function DISCALAIR devices are able to release large quantities of air that has formed in the hydraulic circuits of heating and air conditioning systems, even against substantial pressure values. This venting capacity is due to the particular geometry of the venting mechanism, identical to that of the DISCAL deaerators 551 series. This prevents the appearance of negative phenomena that might prejudice the working life and performance of the heating system, such as: - corrosive processes caused by oxygen; - air pockets in the heating elements; - cavitation in the circulating pumps.

Operating principle The accumulation of air bubbles in the valve body causes the float to drop so that the obturator opens. This action, and therefore correct valve operation, is ensured as long as the water pressure remains under the maximum discharge pressure.

Installation DISCALAIR automatic air vent 551 series must be installed in a vertical position. We recommend installing a shut-off valve upstream of the DISCALAIR device to simplify any maintenance operations. During operation the upper cap must be loosened in the normal version, whereas it must be completely tightened in the hygroscopic version. The installation of the valve in places subject to freezing is not recommended; if this is the case, the atuomatic deaerator Caleffi MAXCAL 501 series should be used. It is recommended that the venting valve cap be replaced by the Caleffi AQUASTOP hygroscopic safety cap code R59681 in all cases where inspection is not possible.

Construction details High discharge pressure The valve is able to release large quantities of air up to a pressure of 10 bar, thanks to the particular internal geometry used in its design. Operating chamber The valve body is made in such a way as to have a long chamber for movement of the float controlling the obturator. This characteristic prevents impurities in the water from reaching the seal housing. Hydraulic characteristics Discharge capacity in the phase of filling the system

The operating principle is based on the properties of the cellulose fibre disks forming the retaining cartridge. These disks increase their volume by 50% when they come into contact with water, thus closing the valve. This avoids any damage in the event of water leakage.

Maintenance The DISCALAIR automatic air vent is designed to enable the inspection of the internal mechanism. Access to the moving parts that control the air outlet is obtained by simply removing the upper cover. The body moreover can be separated from the lower part connected to the pipe.

Pre-adjustable automatic filling unit assemblies for high flow rates


series 554 - 574

CALEFFI
01125/05 GB

Function The automatic filling unit is a device consisting of a pressure reducing valve with compensating seat, an inlet strainer, an upstream shut-off valve with built-in check valve and a downstream shut-off valve. It is installed in the water supply pipework in sealed heating systems and its main function is to maintain the system pressure stable at a set value, automatically topping up with water, as required. This product has the characteristic of being pre-adjustable, which means that it can be adjusted at the required pressure value before the system filling phase. After installation, during the filling or topping-up phase, feed will stop when the set pressure is reached. A pre-assembled version is also available, complete with upstream backflow preventer and shut-off valve.

Construction details 554 series The 554 series filling unit assembly consists of: - Pressure reducing valve, series 5350 - Ball valve with built-in check valve, series 3230 - Shut-off ball valve Pre-adjustment 554 series filling unit assemblies are provided with an adjustment knob and a calibration pressure indicator which is visible from both sides. This pressure indicator has an incremental movement, so that the pressure can be adjusted continuously, with the value being displayed at 0,5 bar increments. The system pressure can thus be pre-set to the required value even before the reducer is installed.

Non-stick materials The central support 1 containing the moving parts, is made of a plastic material with a low adhesion coefficient. This solution minimises the possibility of limescale formation, the main cause of eventual malfunctions.

High pressures The zone exposed to the upstream pressure is constructed in such a way that it can operate at high pressure. Thanks to the PTFE antiextrusion rings 2 on the compensanting piston, the valve can be used in continuous service with upstream pressures of up to 25 bar.

Removable self-contained cartridge The cartridge, which includes the diaphragm, filter, seat, obturator and compensating piston, is pre-assembled as a self-contained unit with the cover, and can easily be removed for inspection and maintenance purposes.

Code 574001 The filling unit is a device placed between the heating system and the public mains or the internal water supply system. In order to prevent potentially polluted water, (which may be hazardous to human health), from flowing back from the heating system, it is always advisable to install a pre-assembled kit with backflow preventer. 574001 code filling unit assembly consists of: - Controllable, reduced pressure zone backflow preventer, BA type, series 574 - Pre-adjustable pressure reducing valve, series 5350 - Shut-off ball valves - Y-strainer, series 577

Installation 1. Filling unit can be installed in either vertical or horizontal pipework. However, the unit must not be installed upside down.

CALEFF I

CALEFF I

2. The special method of mechanical pre-adjustment with pressure setting indicator makes it possible to set the unit to the required value in the system before the beginning of the filling phase. 3. When the system is being commissioned, the unit is normally calibrated at a pressure no lower than the hydrostatic pressure plus 0,3 bar. 4. During filling, the internal mechanism will automatically regulate the pressure until it reaches the required value, without the need to oversee the filling operation itself. 5. Given the pre-calibrating function, the presence of the downstream pressure gauge is not essential. 6. When the system is filled, the shut-off valve can be closed. In order to restore the automatic top-up condition, merely re-open the valve. The pressure in the system will gradually return to the set pressure.

Maintenance For inspection, cleaning or replacement of the complete regulating cartridge: 1) Isolate the reducer. 2) The special construction of the regulating unit requires no adjustment of the calibrated pressure, which can be left at the set value. 3)Remove the upper cover, using a suitable spanner. The upper cover is integral with the internal regulating cartridge. 4) Carry out the essential operations of checking and cleaning the filter. 5)The whole self-contained cartridge can be refitted or replaced with a spare. When the cartridge is screwed back into the valve body the pressure indication windows will return to the original position. 6) Reopen the shut-off valves. The pressure will return to the original set valve.

Construction details Specific plastic material The manifolds are made with a specifically selected polymer for heating and cooling system applications. The basic characteristics for this use are: high strain resistance while maintaining good ultimate elongation good resistance to crack propagation very low moisture absorption, for constant mechanical behaviour high abrasion resistance due to medium constant flow performance stability to temperature changes compatibility with the glycols and additives used in the circuits

These basic material characteristics, combined with the appropriate shaping of the most highly stressed areas, enable a comparison with the metals typically used in the construction of distribution manifolds.

Return manifold The return manifold is equipped with built-in shut-off valves. Using the shut-off valve with a manual knob, the flow rate to the single circuits can be reduced so much as to shut off the circuit completely. The valve is equipped with a stainless steel control stem in a single piece, with a double O-ring seal. The rubber obturator is specially shaped to minimize the losses of head and the noise produced by the flow of the medium, preventing the seal seat from possibly sticking. The valves are fitted to accommodate thermo-electric actuator in order to automate their action upon receiving a signal from an ambient thermostat.

Flow manifold The flow manifold is equipped with flow meters and built-in flow rate balancing valves. Using the balancing valve with the special tapered obturator, the flow rate to the single circuits can be adjusted accurately as required, with the setting being read off the single flow meter with a scale of 1-4 l/min. This simplifies and speeds up the operation of calibrating the circuit, with no need for reference graphs. After balancing, the valve can be locked in position by means of its tamper-proof cover. This valve makes it possible to seal off the single circuit should this be necessary.

Modular manifolds The manifolds and end fittings are modular thanks to the threaded connections with O-ring seals and lock clips preventing unscrewing. With this connection system, the operation of assembling the various components is simplified and the hydraulic seal is fully assured. End fitting The end fitting is equipped with an automatic air vent with hygroscopic safety cap, discharge valve and filler/drain ball cock. The automatic air vent is equipped with a removal mechanism air with a silicone rubber obturator. The vent mechanism is connected to the valve body by a fixing clip, making any inspection and maintenance work easier. The hygroscopic safety plug anyhow prevents water leaking to protect the installation. The manual discharge valve speeds up the operation of filling the circuit, done by using the drain/filler ball cock.

Replaceable components The headworks of the balancing valve with flow meter and of the shut-off valve can be removed and replaced with spare parts.

Panel circuit outlets The outlet connections of the single panel circuits are designed to use a special coupling adapter that can be removed with a fixing clip. The brass adapter has a double O-ring seal and a hexagon on its surface. The pipe fitting is connected straight onto the threaded side. With this particular connection system, the fitting with the adapter can be tightened onto the piping outside the box and then coupled on the manifold body later, making the plumbing installation simpler and more practical.

Digital thermometers A liquid crystal digital thermometer is fitted on the flow and return manifold body, on both sides, with a temperature range of 24-48C. The liquid crystals automatically light up green at the measured temperature, making it easy to read even when there is poor lighting. This thermometer is calibrated to display the actual temperature of the medium, which is essential to evaluate the systems thermal load and operating conditions.

Room identification On the manifold body, at the outlet of each panel circuit, there is a special surface for affixing an adhesive label identifying the corresponding room.

Thermometers for loop piping As an accessory, a special spirit thermometer with a scale of 5-50C is available, equipped with a push-fit plastic body, for the single loop piping, with an outside diameter from 15 to 18 mm. This thermometer, installed on the return line, measures the actual temperature of the medium returning from the circuit making it possible to check the state of the single panels heat transfer accurately.

Shut-off valves The ball shut-off valves on the flow and return of the circuits are the union-type with a flat-seat seal made of EPDM.

Box The manifolds are supplied bracketed in a recess-mounting plate box with an adjustable depth from 80 to 120 mm. The box, specifically designed to be used with radiant panel systems, is equipped with floor supports that are adjustable in height from 270 to 410 mm, the height being chosen according to the thickness of the slab. With these supports, the pipe passageway is clear of obstruction; a double curtain wall then enables the plastering to be done directly and the correct fitting of frame and cover. The back wall of the box has grooves and holes to secure the manifold brackets; the side and top walls have holes for the main pipes to pass through. The cover is opened and closed using a special handle with a push-fit clamp, without using any keys or tools.

Bracketing The manifolds have holes to secure them on brackets to allow housing them in boxes. The manifolds are reversible, in that they can be positioned with the entry from the right or left. The return manifold, located at the top, is installed at an angle on purpose in order to make it easier for the panel circuit pipes to pass through, up to 20 mm in diameter. The manifolds can thus be bracketed in a box just 80 mm deep, allowing for installation in thin walls.

The box is also customizable for connecting the main pipes coming in from the top.

Hydraulic characteristics In order to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the circuit, it is necessary to calculate the total loss of head suffered by the flow of medium on passing through the devices forming the manifold assembly and the radiant panel circuits. From a hydraulic point of view, the system composed of the manifold assembly and the circuits can be represented as a set of hydraulic elements arranged in series and in parallel.

Example of calculation of total loss of head Supposing we need to calculate the loss of head of a manifold with three outlets with the following characteristics: Total manifold flow rate: 350 l/h The pipes of the three loops have the following characteristics of flow rate and loss of head: Circuit 1 P1 = 10 kPa G1 = 120 l/h Circuit 2 P2 = 15 kPa G2 = 150 l/h Circuit 3 P3 = 7 kPa G3 = 80 l/h

(1.2)

We calculate each term of the formula (1.1), using the relationship: P = G2/Kv0.012 G = flow rate in l/h P = loss of head in kPa (1 kPa =100 mm w.g.) Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h through the device, which corresponds to a head loss of 1 kPa It should be stressed that the calculation of PTot. must be made taking account of the circuit in which there are the greatest head losses distributed along the entire loop of the panel piping. In the case we are examining, the relevant circuit is No. 2. It follows that: PBV PLoop PSV PF Man. PR Man. PBall V = = = = = = 1502/1002 = 2,25 kPa 15 kPa 1502/2402 = 0,39 kPa 3502/16002 = 0,05 kPa 3502/16002 = 0,05 kPa 3502/16502 = 0,04 kPa

} Values obtained by disregarding variations due to flow rate to each branch circuit

By means of (1.1) adding up all the calculated terms, we have: PTot.= 2,25 + 15 + 0,39 + 0,05 + 0,05 + 0,04 = 17,64 kPa Note: Because of the low head losses for the ball valves and the manifolds, the three terms relating to them can be neglected. In general, the total head loss is reasonably approximate to that of the branched circuit of the panel.

Using balancing valves with flow meter The balancing valves in the flow manifold make it possible to balance each single circuit of the panels to obtain the actual design flow rates. Considering the following data: - flow rate of medium that must flow through each circuit - head loss that for this flow rate is generated in each circuit: PCircuit = PLoop + PSV (PShut-off valve) - available head on the panel circuit or predetermined head: HPredetermined PCircuit + = PBV + PLoop + PSV
disadvantaged

SV PCircuit PTot. HPredetermined PCircuit +

Referring to the diagram alongside, the balancing valve must, for the loop flow rate, provide an additional head loss equal to the difference PBV (PBalancing valve).

Flow rate adjustment and reading Raise the block cover with the aid of a screwdriver and turn it over onto the flow meter. Adjust the flow rate of the single panels by turning the flow meter body that acts on the built-in balancing valve. The flow rate must be read off the graduated scale, expressed in l/min, printed on the flow meter. After making all the adjustments, reposition all the knobs and hook them in their seat to prevent tampering.

Construction details Pipe-fitting coupling flexibility This fitting has been specifically designed in order to adjust to several pipe diameters. The great variety of plastic pipes, single and multi-layer, on the market and the breadth of permissible tolerances have made it necessary to design a specific fitting. Keeping the nominal dimensions of the fittings currently on the market, the new construction solution makes it possible to use the same fitting for pipes with differences on their outside diameter of up to 2 mm and on their inside diameter of up to 0,5 mm. Pull-out resistance This fitting opposes high resistance to pipe pull-out. Its special tightening system makes it suitable for all applications, ensuring a perfect hydraulic seal. Low head losses The internal profile of the adapter (1) is shaped to obtain a Venturi effect as the medium flows. It permits having a head loss 20% lower than that corresponding to passages of the same diameter. Dielectric seal ring The fitting is equipped with a rubber insulating element (2) to prevent contact between the aluminium in the multi-layer pipe and the brass of the fitting. This prevents any galvanic corrosion generated by two different metals. Double O-ring seal On the adapter there are two O-ring seals (3) (4) made of EPDM in order to avoid potential leaks even at high working pressures.

Function The thermostatic mixing valve is used in systems for the production of domestic hot water. It is designed to maintain the set temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user when there are variations in the temperature and pressure conditions of the incoming hot and cold water or in the flow rate. This particular series of mixing valves can function continuously at the high temperatures of the incoming hot water from the solar storage tank.

Solar systems - high temperatures In solar systems with natural circulation in the primary circuit and storage tank with heating jacket, the temperature of the water in the storage tank can vary considerably depending on the degree of solar radiation and can reach very high temperatures over long periods. In summer, and if there is little water usage, the hot water at the storage tank outlet can actually reach temperatures around 98C before the pressure and temperature safety valves are actuated. At these temperatures, the hot water cannot be used directly, because of the danger of scalding. Water temperatures over 50C can cause burns very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burn occurs in about 30 seconds, whereas at 60C partial burn occurs in about 5 seconds. Consequently, the thermostatic mixing valve installed must be able to: reduce the temperature of the water supplied through the hot water system to a lower value than to the storage tank, i.e. a value usable by the user. For reasons of safety, we advise adjusting the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user to a value not higher than 50C maintain a constant temperature in the mixed water when there are variations in the inlet temperatures and pressures. maintain function and efficiency over time, without being affected by the continuous high temperature of the hot water at the inlet. ensure that water is stored at high temperature for longer periods, and supplied to the water system at a lower temperature.

Operating principe The controlling element of the thermostatic mixing valve is a temperature sensor fully immersed in the mixed water outlet passage which, as it expands or contracts, continuously establishes the correct proportion of hot and cold water entering the valve. The regulation of these flows is by means of a piston sliding in a cylinder between the hot and cold water passages. Even when there are pressure drops due to the drawing off of hot or cold water for other uses, or variations in the incoming temperature, the mixer automatically regulates the water flow to obtain the set temperature. Construction details High heat resistance The internal flow regulation components are designed to maintain performance of the mixing valve with inlet hot water temperatures up to 100C, in continuous operation. Anti-scale materials The materials used in the construction of the mixing valve eliminate the problem of jamming caused by lime deposits. All the working parts such as shutter, seats and slide guides are made of a special anti-scale material, with a low friction coefficient, guaranteeing that the performance will be maintained over the long term. Temperature setting and locking The control knob permits temperature setting between minimum and maximum in one turn (360). It also has a tamper-proof system to lock the temperature at the set value.

Check vales In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves should be installed to prevent undesirable fluid backflow. The thermostatic mixing valves are also available in versions with incorporated check valves at the hot and cold inlets. Commissioning In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current standards by qualified personnel using temperature measuring equipment. Use of a digital thermometer is recommended for measurement of the mixed water temperature.

Kv = 2,6 (m3/h) Use 2521 series thermostatic mixing valves are typically installed at the outlet of hot water storage tanks in solar systems, to ensure constant temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user. 2521 series thermostatic mixing valves, because of their flow characteristics, can be installed to control the temperature for both single consumers (e.g., washbasin, bidet, shower) and for multiple consumers. In order to guarantee the delivery of mixed water at the set temperature, the thermostatic mixing valves must have a minimum flow rate of 5 l/min. Installation Before installing mixing valve, the pipework must be flushed out to ensure that there are no circulating impurities to harm the system. We recommend always installing filters of sufficient capacity at the inlet of the water system. 2521 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed according to the installation diagrams shown on the instructions sheet or this leaflet. 2521 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The following are indicated on the body of the mixing valve: hot water inlet, indicated with the colour red and the word HOT cold water inlet, indicated with the colour blue and the word COLD mixed water outlet with the word MIX.

Temperature adjustment The temperature is set at the desired value by means of the knob with the graduated scale, on the top of the valve.

Reference values: Thot = 68C; Tcold = 13C; Hot and cold water inlet pressures = 3 bar

Locking the setting After setting the temperature, the setting can be locked at the desired value using the control knob. In order to do this, unscrew the lock screw on the upper part of the control knob, remove the knob and put it back on so that the internal reference couples with the protrusion on the knob carrier ring nut.

Differential by-pass The differential by-pass valve is used to control the total head in the secondary supply circuit. When the set differential pressure value is reached, the obturator opens and allows fluid to pass from the flow to the return circuit, keeping the pressure differential at the set value. If the individual circuits are shut off by automatic two-way on/off modulating or thermostatic valves, the valve prevents overheating of the pump and excessive velocity of the fluid.

01129/05 GB

Function The thermostatic mixing valve is used in systems for the production of domestic hot water. It is designed to maintain the set temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user when there are variations in the temperature and pressure conditions of the incoming hot and cold water or in the flow rate. This particular series of mixing valves has been designed specifically for systems requiring high flow rates and can function continuously at the high temperatures of the incoming hot water from the solar storage tank.

Solar systems - high temperatures In solar systems with natural circulation in the primary circuit and storage tank with heating jacket, the temperature of the water in the storage tank can vary considerably depending on the degree of solar radiation, and can reach very high temperatures over long periods. In summer, and if there is little water usage, the hot water at the storage tank outlet can actually reach temperatures around 98C before the pressure and temperature safety valves are actuated. At these temperatures, the hot water cannot be used directly, because of the danger of scalding. Water temperatures over 50C can cause burns very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burn occurs in about 30 seconds, whereas at 60C partial burn occurs in about 5 seconds. Consequently, the thermostatic mixing valve installed must be able to: reduce the temperature of the water supplied through the hot water system to a lower value than to the storage tank, i.e. a value usable by the consumer. For reasons of safety, we advise adjusting the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user to a value not higher than 50C. maintain a constant temperature in the mixed water when there are variations in the inlet temperatures and pressures. maintain function and efficiency over time, without being affected by continuous high temperature of the hot water at the inlet. ensure that water is stored at high temperature for longer periods, and supplied to the water system at a lower temperature.

Operating principle The controlling element of the thermostatic mixing valve is a temperature sensor fully immersed in the mixed water outlet passage which, as it expands or contracts, continuously establishes the correct proportion of hot and cold water entering the valve. The regulation of these flows is by means of a piston sliding in a cylinder between the hot and cold water passages. Even when there are pressure drops due to the drawing off of hot or cold water for other uses, or variations in the incoming temperature, the mixer automatically regulates the water flow to obtain the required temperature. Construction details High heat resistance The internal flow regulation components are designed to maintain performance of the mixing valve with inlet hot water temperatures up to 110C, in continuous operation.

Interchangeable cartridge The internal cartridge containing all the control components is preassembled in a single body and can easily be inspected for cleaning or replacement if necessary, without any need to take the valve body out of the pipework. Wearproof coating All functional parts, such as the shutter, valve seats and guides, are electroless nickel plated. This wearproof coating minimizes the risk of scale forming and ensures performance is maintained over time. Low-inertia thermostat The most temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic mixer, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time. Temperature setting and locking The control knob permits temperature setting between minimum and maximum in one turn (360). It also has a tamper-proof system to lock the temperature at the set value.

Replacing the cartridge The internal cartridge containing all the control components can be inspected and replaced if necessary, without any need to take the valve body out of the pipework. 1) Close the shut-off valves on the hot and cold inlets. Set the knob to the maximum value. 2) Remove the temperature adjustment knob after unscrewing the lock screw on the top. Remove the plastic knob carrier ring nut. 3) Remove the internal cartridge for inspection or replacement with a new one, using a suitably sized spanner. 4) Fit the knob carrier ring nut back on so that the position indicator is visible. 5) The spare cartridge is supplied preset on the highest value. Then put the control knob back on so that the word MAX align with the position indicator. By turning the knob clockwise it must be possible to make the adjustment from the maximum to the minimum value. Secure the knob with the lock screw. 6) Reopen the shut-off valves and adjust the mixing value onto the required temperature.

* P = 1,5 bar Use 2523 series thermostatic mixing valves are typically installed at the outlet of hot water storage tanks in solar systems, to ensure constant temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user. 2523 series thermostatic mixing valves, because of their flow characteristics, can be installed in centralised systems with many different user fittings or for controlling groups of fittings, such as shower units, washbasin units, etc. In order to guarantee the delivery of mixed water at the set temperature, the thermostatic mixing valves must have a minimum flow rate of 6,7 l/min (1/2) and 8,4 l/min (3/4). Installation Before installing the mixing valve, pipes should be flushed to remove any impurities that could impair performance. We recommend always installing filters of sufficient capacity at the inlet of the water system. 2523 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed as shown in the installation diagrams in this leaflet, taking account of the current applicable regulations. 2523 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The following are indicated on the body of the mixing valve: hot water inlet, indicated with the colour red. cold water inlet, indicated with the colour blue. Check valves

3a

3b In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves should be installed to prevent undesired back flows. Commissioning In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current standards by qualified personnel using temperature measuring equipment. Use of a digital thermometer is recommended for measurement of the mixed water temperature. Temperature adjustment The temperature is set at the desired value by means of the knob with the graduated scale, on the top of the valve.

General information The temperature and pressure relief valves (TP) 309 series are made by Caleffi S.p.A in compliance with the essential safety requirements laid down by Directive 97/23/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for harmonisation of Member States with regard to pressurised equipment. Function The TP relief valve controls and limits the temperature and pressure of the hot water contained in a domestic storage heater and prevents it from being able to reach temperatures of over 100C, with the formation of steam. On reaching the settings, the valve discharges a sufficient amount of water into the atmosphere so that the temperature and pressure return within the systems operating limits. This particular series of valves is certified as conforming to the performance requirements of the European standard EN 1490 (for settings of 4 - 7 - 10 bar).

Operating principle The valve opens the outlet on reaching the settings for: - temperature: the thermostat compound inside the temperature sensor 1) submerged in the hot water storage heater, expands as the temperature increases. This expansion causes a thrust pin to move and act on the obturator 2) opening the valve. The valve is set to open at temperatures of over 90C. - pressure: the obturator, opposed by a set spring, raises on reaching the pressure setting and opens the outlet completely. The pressure setting is chosen according to the maximum permissible pressure in the system. As the temperature and pressure decrease, the opposite action occurs with the valve subsequently reclosing within the set tolerances. Certification CE mark 309 series TP relief valves comply with the essential safety requirements of Directive 97/23/EC concerning pressure equipment (also called P.E.D.). They are therefore classified as category IV and are equipped with the CE mark. Product certification in accordance with European Standard EN 1490 European Standard EN 1490: 2000, entitled Building valves - Combined temperature and pressure relief valves Tests and requirements, describes the constructional and performance specifications that TP relief valves must have. Caleffi 309 series TP relief valves are certified by Buildcert (UK) to comply with the requirements of the European Standard EN 1490 (for settings 4 7 10 bar).

Installation Before installing a TP relief valve it is necessary for the sizing to be performed correctly by specialized technical personnel in accordance with the current regulations for the specific applications. Any use other than the intended use is prohibited. The TP relief valves must be installed by qualified technical personnel in accordance with current regulations. The TP relief valve must be installed observing the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

Assembly Plumbing system TP relief valves must be installed on the top of the hot water storage heater, making sure that the temperature sensor is correctly submerged in the tank. Make sure that there are no shut-off devices between the valve and the storage heater. TP relief valves can be fitted vertically or horizontally, but not overturned. This prevents debris from impairing operation.

Construction details Seals The valves are equipped with unions with a flat seat with EPDM O-Ring seal.

Directions of flow and position indicator Removing the actuator reveals the slot on the top of the control stem on which acts the pin of the actuator: - it permits opening/closing the valve manually with a screwdriver. - its position shows the direction of flow according to the position of the ball, which is especially helpful when testing or checking the system. Here are three diagrams, one for each type of valve; the position of the slot shows the direction of flow.

Actuator Two-way valve 6442 series ON/OFF mode The valves can be used in ON/OFF mode with a single electrical enabling signal for opening or closing given by the three-contact thermostat/timer-thermostat or an ordinary switch. Modulating mode The electrical construction features of the actuator allow it to be combined with any type of three-point regulator. Drive transmission Thanks to the tapered coupling between the stem of the valve (A) and the shaft of the gearmotor (B), there is a constant mesh of the two components. This permits automatic compensation of the mechanical slack thanks to the force (C) on the stem applied by the pressure of the medium. Valve actuator coupling By means of a steel clip (D), the coupling between the valve and actuator is fast and easy with a straightforward coupling operation with automatic locking. Cam and limit microswitches The cam (A) that works the limit microswitches (B) can move vertically and is supported by a tapered spring (C). In this way the contact with the microswitches is kept constant compensating for wear of the parts over time.

Application diagrams In systems with zone control, action is taken to automatically cut off the circuits serving the heat exchanger terminal emitters, according to the temperature reached in the room. This circuit closing can however cause changes in pressure and flow rate throughout the system so it is essential to make sure these changes are kept under control within acceptable limits.

System with 6442 series two-way zone valves, differential by-pass valve and Autoflow The system works with variable flow rate and it is necessary to keep the pressure differential generated by the zone valves closing under control. This increase, which can reach unacceptable limits for the system to work properly, translates into an increase in the flow rate to the circuits still open, with problems for the pumps and the boiler. It is therefore necessary to keep the pressure differentials under control by means of differential by-pass valves or variable speed pumps. Installing the Autoflow however always limits the flow rate to the open circuits to the nominal value.

Cam and limit microswitches The cam (4) that controls the limit microswitches (5) can move vertically and is supported by a tapered spring (6). In this way, the contact with the microswitches is kept constant, compensating for wear of the parts over time.

Auxiliary microswitch The actuator is equipped with an auxiliary microswitch to be used, for instance, to stop the pump on closing the valve and vice versa. It shuts off for an average valve opening value of 80%.

Operating times The actuator is available in two versions, with an operating time of 10 seconds or 40 seconds (with angle of rotation 90).

Directions of flow and position indicator

AB
Construction details Seals The valves are equipped with unions which have a flat seat with an O-Ring seal made of EPDM.

Removing the actuator reveals a slot in the top of the control stem on which the actuator pin acts: - this slot allows the valve to be opened and closed manually with a screwdriver; - its position indicates the position of the ball and therefore the direction of flow. This is extremely useful in system testing and checking procedures. The following diagram illustrates the direction of flow, in accordance with the position of the slot. 6443 series three-way diverter valve Flow diversion can be choked thanks to the electrical features of the three-contact actuator.

Actuator ON/OFF mode The valves may be used in ON/OFF mode, with a single electrical enabling signal for opening or closing provided by the three-contact thermostat/timer-thermostat or an ordinary switch. Modulating mode The electrical construction features of the actuator allow it to be combined with any type of three-point temperature controller. Drive transmission The taper coupling between the valve control stem (1) and the gearmotor shaft (2) allows constant connection between the two components. This provides automatic compensation for mechanical slack via the thrust (S) exerted on the control stem by the pressure of the medium.

Function Automatic air vents are used in the closed circuits of solar heating systems to allow air contained in the fluid to be released automatically by means of a valve operated by a float in contact with fluid in the system. The shut-off valves are on the contrary typically used in combination with the automatic air vent valves to be able to cut them off after filling the circuit of solar heating systems. These particular series of products have been specially made to work at high temperature with a glycol medium.

Operating principe The accumulation of air bubbles in the valve body causes the float to drop so that the air vent valve opens. This phenomenon occurs, and consequently the valve functions correctly, as long as the water pressure remains below the maximum discharge pressure.

Maintenance 250 series automatic air vent is made to allow checking of the internal mechanism. Access to the moving parts that govern the air vent is attained by simply taking off the top cover. A shut-off valve must be installed before the 250 series device in order to simplify any maintenance work and for shutting off after the phase of filling.

Tmax = 180C / 360F Pmax = 10 bar / 150 psi

Construction details Resistance to temperature The high performance level of this series of automatic air vent valves, required moreover in solar heating systems, is ensured by using materials that are highly resistant to temperature. They allow maintaining the functional features of the valve with glycol water temperatures up to 180C. Hydraulic characteristics Discharge capacity when the system is being filled

Installation 250 series automatic air vents must be installed in vertical position, typically on the top of the solar heating system panels and at points in the circuit where air bubbles gather that need to be discharged. They must always be installed in combination with a shut-off valve. This is necessary since the vent valves must be shut off after use to remove the air in the phase of filling and starting up the system.

Function Deaerators are used to discharge continuously air from the hydraulic circuits of air-conditioning or solar thermal systems. The air vent capacity of these devices is extremely high. They are able to automatically remove all the air from the circuits, down to micro-bubble level. The circulation of fully deaerated water allows the systems to work under optimal conditions without any trouble of noise, corrosion, local overheating and mechanical damage. They are available in versions for installation to horizontal or vertical pipes. This particular series of deaerators has been specifically designed to work at high temperature with glycol solutions, typical condition of solar thermal systems.

The process of air formation The quantity of air that can remain dissolved in solution in the water depends on the pressure and temperature. This relationship is known as Henrys law, whose graph below permits quantifying the physical phenomenon of releasing the air contained in the medium. By way of example: at the constant absolute pressure of 2 bar, heating the water from 20C to 80C, the quantity of air released by the solution is equal to 18 l per m3 of water. In accordance with this law it may be noted how there is a greater release of air from the solution as the temperature increases and the pressure decreases. This air is in the form of micro-bubbles with diameters in the order of tenths of a millimetre. The micro-bubbles form continuously in the water of the solar thermal systems on the top of the panels, that is at the points in the circuit where the highest temperatures are reached. This air is partly reabsorbed as the medium reaches the parts of the circuit at a lower temperature, partly remaining in the medium and therefore must be extracted.

System operation In solar panel thermal systems with forced circulation it is necessary to expel all the air in the medium during the phases of starting up and operating the system. The deaerator permits separating and expelling this air from the medium continuously and safely. This means that the circuit stays completely deaerated automatically; any decrease in pressure due to the release of air is compensated by a suitable filling unit.

Water temperature C

Operating principle The deaerator utilises the combined action of several physical principles. The active part is composed of a set of metal screen surfaces arranged like spokes (1). These elements create such swirling motion as to facilitate the release of micro-bubbles and their adhesion to the surfaces. The bubbles, joining together, increase in volume until the hydrostatic thrust is such as to overcome the force of adhesion to the structure. They then rise towards the top of the device from where they are released by a float-operated automatic air vent valve (2).

Construction details Resistance to heat and high discharge pressure The high performance of this series of deaerators, moreover required in solar thermal systems, is guaranteed by the use of particularly heat resistant materials. They allow maintaining the functional features of the deaerator with glycol water temperatures up to 160C. The internal geometry of the deaerator has been designed to be able to discharge the air up to a pressure of 10 bar. Facilitated maintenance operations DISCAL devices are built so that maintenance and cleaning procedures can be performed without having to remove the valve body from the pipe. Access to the moving parts controlling the air vent is attained simply by removing the top cover.

Air separation efficiency DISCAL devices are capable of continuously removing the air contained within a hydraulic circuit, with a high degree of separation efficiency. The amount of air which may be removed from a circuit depends on various parameters: it increases as the circulation speed and pressure values fall. As illustrated on the graph below, after just 25 recirculations at the maximum recommended speed, almost all the air artificially introduced into the circuit is eliminated by the deaerator, with variable percentages according to the pressure within the circuit. The small amount which remains is then gradually eliminated during normal system operation. In conditions where the speed is slower or the temperature of the medium is higher, the amount of air separated is even greater.

Installation The deaerator must always be installed vertically and preferably: - upstream of the pump where, due to the high speed of the medium and the ensuing drop in pressure, the air micro-bubbles develop more easily; - on the return and in the bottom part of the solar thermal circuit, with no formation of steam. The flow direction of the medium is not important in DISCAL devices.

Function DISCALAIR devices are used in air-conditioning systems or in the phase of filling and starting solar heating systems to discharge even large quantities of air that has formed in the circuits. This function is performed even when there is considerable pressure thanks to the special geometry of the discharge mechanism, which is identical to the one on DISCAL 551 series deaerators. This particular series of automatic air vent valves has been specifically designed to work at high temperature with a glycol medium, which is typical of solar heating systems.

Operating principle The accumulation of air bubbles in the valve body causes the float to drop so that the obturator opens. This action, and therefore correct valve operation, is ensured as long as the water pressure remains under the maximum discharge pressure.

Maintenance The DISCALAIR automatic air vent valve is built to permit inspecting the internal mechanism. Access to the moving parts that govern the air vent is attained by simply taking off the top cover. The body moreover can be separated from the bottom portion connected to the pipe. A shut-off valve must be installed before the DISCALAIR device in order to simplify any maintenance work and for shutting off after the phase of filling.

Installation DISCALAIR series 251 automatic air vent valves must be installed vertically, typically on the top of solar heating system panels and at points in the circuit where bubbles of air that must be discharged gather. They must always be installed in combination with a shut-off valve. This is necessary since the vent valves must be shut off after use, to remove the air in the phase of filling and starting up the system.

Flow meter The flow meter has a built-in adjustable flow limiter. The meter is available with three different ranges of 113 l/min, 830 l/min and 540 l/min depending on the version. The flow meter must be fitted in a vertical position only.

Air separator The solar circulation unit, version with flow and return connection, is equipped with an air vent separator on the flow line. The gases, separated from the thermal carrier medium, are collected at the top of the deaerator. The collected gases must be evacuated from time to time (every day after putting into operation and afterwards, depending on the quantity of air, once a week or once a month) using the manual air vent with a suitably sized screwdriver. To maintain optimal efficiency of the solar heating system, afterwards, it is necessary to vent the system every six months by using the deaerator.

Function In heating and air conditioning systems, the circulation of water containing impurities may result in rapid wear and damage of components such as pumps and control valves. It also causes blockages in heat exchangers, heating elements and pipes, resulting in a lower thermal efficiency of the system. The dirt separator separates off these impurities, which are mainly made up of sand and rust particles. These are collected in a large collection chamber that requires low frequency cleaning procedures, from which they can be removed even while the system is in operation. This device is capable of efficiently removing even the smallest particles, with extremely limited head loss. The threaded connection product is available in versions for installation on horizontal or vertical pipes. Flanged DIRTCAL dirt separators are supplied complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation to ensure perfect thermal insulation when used with both hot and chilled water.

Operating principle The dirt separator operating principle is based on the combined action of a number of physical phenomena. The internal element (1) is composed of a set of radial reticular surfaces. The impurities in the water, on striking these surfaces, get separated, dropping into the bottom of the body (2) where they are collected. In addition, the large internal volume of DIRTCAL slows down the flow speed of the medium thus helping, by gravity, to separate the particles it contains. The collected impurities are discharged, even with the system running, by opening the drain cock (3); this procedure can even be performed while the system is in operation. The dirt separator is designed in such a way that the direction in which the medium is flowing inside it makes no difference.

Construction details Low head losses and performance maintained over time The separating action of the dirt separator is based on using the internal element with reticular surfaces in place of the ordinary strainer. The screen, by its nature, offers little resistance to the flow of the medium while ensuring separation. This occurs due to the particles colliding with the reticular surfaces and then settling, not by filtration, an action by which the strainer, over time, gets instead progressively clogged by the sludge it removes. The internal shape of the body was also designed to offer minimum resistance to the passage of the medium. All this is to the benefit of performance, i.e. the high capacity to separate impurities and the low head losses that remain unaltered over time.

Geometric structure and large dirt collection chamber The geometrical structure of DIRTCAL is such that, the flow speed inside it is slowed down to help separate the particles of impurities. The dirt collection chamber has the following features: - It is located at the bottom of the device, at such a distance from the connections that the collected impurities are not affected by the swirling of the flow through the screen. - It is large enough to offer an increased amount of collected dirt, which means emptying/ discharging procedures are required less often (in contrast to strainers, which need to be cleaned frequently). - It is easy to inspect, by unscrewing it from the valve body for any servicing of the internal element required in the event of obstruction by fibres or large particles of dirt.

Top connection The connection on the top of the dirt separator can be used to install an automatic air vent, code 502040 MINICAL for the threaded version (A), code 501500 MAXCAL for the flanged version (B).

Draining off with the system running The dirt separator collection chamber is equipped with a shut-off ball cock with special lever in the threaded version (C), and with a shut-off ball valve with butterfly handle in the flanged version (D). These valves can be used to drain off the impurities which have collected at the bottom of the dirt separator, even with the system in operation.

Maintenance To carry out maintenance operation (in threaded models for horizontal pipes) (E), simply use a 26 mm hex wrench (1) to unscrew the dirt collection chamber to which the internal element is fixed, in order to extract it for cleaning purposes. For vertical pipe models (F), only the dirt collection chamber may be unscrewed for cleaning procedures, without the whole internal element being removed.

Insulation Flanged DIRTCAL devices are supplied complete with hot preformed shell insulation. This system ensures not only perfect thermal insulation, but also the tightness required to prevent water vapour entering the device from the ambient. For this reason, this type of insulation may also be used in chilled water circuits as it prevents condensation from forming on the surface of the valve body.

Separation efficiency The capacity for separating the impurities in the medium circulating in the closed circuits of the systems basically depends on three parameters: 1) It increases as the size and mass of the particle increase. The larger and heavier particles drop before the lighter ones. 2) It increases as the speed decreases. If the speed decreases, there is a calm zone inside the dirt separator and the particles separate more easily. 3) It increases as the number of recirculations increases. The medium in the circuit, flowing through the dirt separator a number of times during operation, is subjected to a progressive action of separation, until the impurities are completely removed. The Caleffi DIRTCAL dirt separator, thanks to the special design of its internal element, is able to completely separate the impurities in the circuit down to a minimum particle size of 5 m. The graph alongside, summarising the tests carried out in a specialised laboratory (TNO - Science and Industry), illustrates how it is able to quickly separate nearly all the impurities. After only 50 recirculations, approximately one day of operation, up to 100% is effectively removed from the circuit for particles of diameter greater than 100 m and on average up to 80% taking account of the smallest particles. The continual passing of the medium during normal operation of the system gradually leads to complete dirt removal.

Reduced head losses A normal Y strainer performs its function via a metal mesh selected for the size of the largest particle. The medium therefore has a consequent initial loss of head that increases as the degree of clogging increases. Whereas, the dirt separator carries out its action by the particles striking the internal element and subsequently dropping into the collection chamber. The consequent head losses are greatly reduced and are not affected by the amount of impurities collected. The graph alongside shows a comparison of the differences in head loss between the two types of device.

Installation The dirt separator should preferably be installed on the return circuit upstream of the boiler. This enables it to intercept any impurities already present in the circuit, particularly when it is first started, before they reach the boiler. The dirt separator should always be installed vertically and ideally upstream of the pump. Use the specific versions designed for installation on horizontal or vertical pipes. The flow direction of the medium is not important in dirt separators.

Connections: Pressure port connections:

Operating principle With reference to the drawing shown, p1 and p3 are the pressures in the circuit. p = (p1-p3) is the total pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the valve. Pressure p2 is determined by the diaphragm in reaction to the pressure p1 that acts on the upper chamber of the diaphragm. Interacting with the spring, the difference (p1-p2) remains constant, keeping a constant pA through the orifice (A). The outcome is a constant flow rate through the valve irrespective of changes in the upstream/downstream pressure difference.

Flow rate adjustment By using the special key (code 118000) you act on the adjustment mechanism and read off the desired position on the graduated reference scale. A double gauge, with a scale from 1 to 5 and decimal division from 1 to 9, permits making exact flow rate adjustments. Its colour identifies the pressure range. Depending on the range of flow rate, the cartridges are available in various colours to permit easy identification. The same colours are on the outside, on the adjuster screw and on the protection cover.

Operating principle On reaching the set temperature, the obturator, governed by an internal thermostat, modulates the closure of the hot water orifice, thereby aiding circulation towards the other connected circuits. If the temperature decreases there is the opposite action and the orifice reopens. Thanks to the special design of the preassembled cartridge, the thermostat is not directly in contact with the hot water in circulation. This limits potential trouble with blockage due to limescale. The regulator is equipped with a mechanism that allows circulation regardless of the thermostat action, used to carry out thermal disinfection of the circuit.

To correctly size the recirculation pump head, add the loss of head of the valve to the loss of head of the most disadvantaged circuit.

Example Recirculation circuit calculated for an average heat loss of 12 W/m and a temperature difference of 2K between the starting point and the most unfavourable delivery point, at the top of a riser 20 m. in height. Thermostatic regulator located at the base of the riser. Flow rate for the riser, which therefore passes through the thermostatic regulator: G = 12 20 0,860/2= 103 l/h Thermostatic regulator set temperature: Treg = 55C. The graph shows the loss of head of the valve, in thermostatic operation: preg = 6 kPa. From calculations made based on the nominal flow rates, the loss of head from the pipes in the circuit and from the circuit components such as boiler, mixer, valves of the most disadvantaged circuit can be found. Let us suppose that this value is known: pcircuit = 14 kPa Pump head at nominal flow rate: H = pcircuit+preg = 14 + 6 = 20 kPa.

System sizing The thermostatic regulators are used for automatic balancing of the various branches of domestic hot water recirculation circuits, so as to ensure the required temperature in each section, to prevent the growth of Legionella and limit heat losses. The recirculation circuits are generally sized according to the flow rate required for each branch, based on the allowed heat loss and the corresponding decrease in temperature along the pipe. Generally speaking, the maximum allowed temperature drop between the point of departure from the heating plant and the point of return to the latter is 5C. According to the flow rate, determined using the various calculation methods, it is possible to calculate the loss of head caused by passage through the thermostatic regulator, using the graphs provided below. The curves for the loss of head are shown with: - valve in thermostatic operating mode. In this case, reference is made to an average aperture corresponding to 5K, between the valve set temperature and the incoming water temperature, bearing in mind the losses along the pipe. This value allows the head required for the recirculation pump to be limited. It is also always necessary to take care to ensure the minimum flow rate required by the mixers in the heating plant. - valve in by-pass operating mode. In this case, the valve obturator is fully open and the minimum loss of head is produced during thermal disinfection against Legionella.

Installation Before fitting the thermostatic regulator, the pipes must be flushed to ensure that none of the impurities in circulation will affect its performance. We recommend always installing filters of sufficient capacity at the inlet of the water system. The thermostatic regulator can be fitted in any position, vertical or horizontal, provided it complies with the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

By-pass The by-pass mechanism operates manually, simply by removing the black protective cover. By installing the thermoelectric actuator it is possible to govern the mechanism automatically. To ensure that the valve is in the open position while the system is being put into service, the actuator is supplied in a normally open (NO) position, and remains in this position until it is powered up electrically for the first time.

Temperature setting The regulator is supplied with a factory temperature setting of 55C. The temperature is set at the desired value by turning the upper screw with the control key. The graded scale shows the temperatures to which the indicator can be set. After adjustment, screw the black protective cover all the way down to activate thermostatic operation.

Maintenance The preassembled cartridge containing the control components can be removed from the valve body for checking, cleaning or replacement.

Checking temperature The valve body is fitted with threaded connectors, which can be used for pressure/temperature ports to check the temperature reached and the loss of head.

Operating principle of thermostatic control head The control device of the thermostatic valve is a proportional temperature regulator, composed of a bellows containing a specific thermostatic medium. As the temperature increases, the medium increases in volume and causes the bellows to dilate. As the temperature decreases there is the opposite process; the bellows contracts due to the thrust of the counter spring. The axial movements of the sensitive element are transmitted to the valve actuator by means of the connecting stem, thereby adjusting the flow of medium in the heating body.
Valve shut

Tailpiece with rubber seal The coupling union to the radiator connection thread has a specially shaped rubber ring (1). This system guarantees the hydraulic seal with no need for further sealing materials, such as PTFE tapes etc. A perfect hydraulic seal with the valve body is on the other hand ensured by the double O-Ring (2).

Valve and lockshield coupling with designer heating system The coupling between valve/lockshield and designer heating system must be made using the specific tailpiece with sealing (1a), to be screwed onto the radiator using the code 387127 Caleffi union wrench. On completing the coupling, lock the valve to the tailpiece by screwing the socket head screw into the hole shown.

Valve open

Construction details Valve The stainless steel control stem (1) has an EPDM double seal O-Ring (2) - (3). In this way the upper portion of the control device upper port (4) can be replaced even with the system running. The obturator (5) is shaped so as to optimize the hydraulic characteristics of the valve during the progressive action of opening or closing in thermostatic operation. The wide passage between the seat and obturator causes reduced head losses in manual operation.

Telescopic pipe-cover shell A chrome-plated pipe-cover shell is supplied in the package for the aesthetic requirement of covering the entire connection between the valve/lockshield and piping. The coupling between the shell and valve body is telescopic in order to adjust the distances between the valves/lockshields and the walling from where the piping comes. The shell is lastly secured to the valve with its specific screw.

Lockshield The hydraulic seal of the lockshield is ensured by using the EPDM O-Rings on the control device upper port (1) and on the control stem of the lockshield (2) while the O-Ring on the obturator (3) enables shutting off 2 1 3 the radiator completely.

Interchangeable lockshield and valve control device upper ports

With the system already installed there could be the drawback of having swapped over the delivery and return, causing malfunctioning and noise. To get round this problem it is possible, with the system empty, to swap over the two control device upper ports (A) B and (B) of the valves.

Circuit balancing
DYNAMIC CIRCUIT BALANCING
Modern heating and air-conditioning systems have to guarantee a high level of thermal comfort with a low consumption of energy. This means supplying the system terminal emitters with the correct design flow rates, to produce balanced hydraulic circuits.

Unbalanced circuits
If a circuit is not balanced, the hydraulic imbalance between emitters creates areas with temperatures which are not unifor m, problems with thermal comfort, and higher energy consumption.

Circuits balanced with manual valves


Traditionally, hydraulic circuits are balanced using manual calibration valves. With these static-type devices, such circuits are difficult to balance per fectly and have operating limitations in the case of partial closure by means of the regulating valves. The flow rate in the open circuits does not remain c o n stant at the nominal value.

Autoflow devices
Function The AUTOFLOW device has to guarantee a constant flow rate when its upstream/downstream pressure differential varies. It is therefore necessary to refer to the p - flow rate diagram and a basic diagram illustrating the methods of operation and the effects of the relevant variables. Principle of operation The regulating element of these devices is a piston and a cylinder that has side apertures, of fixed and variable geometry, through which the medium flows. These apertures are governed by the movement of the piston on which the thrust of the medium acts. A specially calibrated spring counteracts this movement. Autoflows are high performance automatic regulators. They regulate the flow rates selected within a very tight tolerance (approx. 10%) and offer a wide range of operation.

Below the control range


In this case, the regulating piston remains in equilibrium without compressing the spring and gives the medium the maximum free flow area. In practice, the piston acts as a fixed regulator and thus the flow through the AUTOFLOW depends solely on the differential pressure.

Within the control range


If the differential pressure is contained within the control range, the piston compresses the spring and gives the medium a free flow area to permit regular flow at the nominal rate for which the AUTOFLOW is set up.

In this case, the piston compresses the spring fully and only leaves the fixed geometry aperture for the medium to pass through. As in the first case above, the piston acts as a fixed regulator. The flow rate through the AUTOFLOW thus depends solely on the differential pressure.

Construction details New polymer regulator The flow-rate regulator element is made entirely of high-resistance polymer, specially chosen for use in air-conditioning and plumbing systems. Its mechanical behaviour is excellent in a wide range of working temperatures, it features high resistance to abrasion due to the medium flowing continuously, it is insensitive to the deposit of scale and is fully compatible with the glycols and additives used in circuits. Exclusive design The new regulator, thanks to its exclusive design, is able to accurately regulate the flow rate in a wide range of operating pressures. A special internal chamber acts as a damper for the beating and vibration triggered by the flow of the medium, making sure the device works quietly. For these reasons it can be used in system circuits on both zone outlets and directly at the terminal emitters. Ball valve The control stem of the ball valve has a blowout-proof stem and the reversible closing lever is covered with vinyl. If there are any insulated pipes, it can be changed with the extended lever series 117. Replaceable cartridge The internal regulator is assembled in the form of a self contained cartridge so as to permit easy removal from the body for inspection or replacement. It is equipped with a special automatic fixing system with wire and an operating ring for fast and safe positioning without using tools.

Connecting the device The body of the Autoflow device is fitted with connections for the pressure ports, which is useful when checking operation in the working range. In addition, the cartridge plug contains a connection to be able to use a circuit drain valve.

Sizing the circuit with Autoflow


Sizing the circuit containing Autoflow is particularly easy to accomplish. As illustrated by the diagrams, shown alongside by way of example, the calculation of the loss of head for choosing the pump is made by referring to the hydraulically most unfavourable circuit and adding this value to the minimum differential pressure required by the Autoflow. In the example the circuits have the same nominal flow rate. The Autoflow devices, located on intermediate circuits, automatically absorb the excess differential pressure to ensure the corresponding nominal flow rate. As the regulating valves open or close, the Autoflow repositions itself dynamically to maintain the nominal flow rate (50% load = circuits 3, 5, 7, 8 closed). For more detailed information on sizing a system with Autoflow, please refer to the 2nd volume of the Caleffi Handbooks and the technical report Dynamic balancing of hydronic circuits. They give theoretical calculations, numerical examples and notes on the application of the above-mentioned devices in circuits.

Principle of operation With no power, the device (actuator + valve), is normally closed. With power, the valve opens thanks to the action of a wax thermostatic expansion element governed directly by a PTC resistor.

Using the thermo-electric actuator 1. Normal operation of the control in automatic mode. In automatic mode, the thermo-electric actuatorl opens the valve when it is supplied with electricity. The opening is displayed by the central disc raising on the top of the knob and by the green circular indicator too.

Construction details The thermo-electric actuator 6563 series is equipped with an automatic valve opening position indicator, a knob for opening the valve manually and a mechanism for returning to automatic mode if the electricity supply is restored. The control knob for manual opening and the automatic return from the manual to the automatic position is particularly useful when testing or servicing the system if: - hydraulic tests need to be carried out without having necessarily to connect and power up the controls. - the knob is left on the manual position at the end of the tests. In this case the control automatically goes back onto automatic operation when the system is electrically put into operation. 2. Using the knob to open the valve manually: Turn the knob on the top of the control anticlockwise until its limit stop trips and the arrow symbols and overlap. To close the valve manually and restore automatic operation of the device, turn the knob clockwise onto AUTO. Note: On the series equipped with an auxiliary microswitch, in the manual opening position the micro contact is closed.

3. Automatic return from the manual position to the automatic one. When the control in the manual position is powered, an internal mechanism enables automatic release from this position and a return to normal operation. A few seconds after powering up, the knob will automatically return to the AUTO position and the opening indicator will stay on the open position.

- The actuator should always be fitted in a horizontal or vertical position, never upside-down. In chilled water circuits, positions which allow condensation to get into the actuator are not advisable. - For the correct functioning of the actuator, the electrical circuit should be sized on the basis of the starting current. - If it is necessary to control multiple zones with actuators in parallel using the same thermostat, the possibility of including an intermediate relay to prevent electrical overload should be considered.

Function The differential regulator acquires the temperature signals from the probes installed at the panel outlet and in the boiler, calculates the difference between the two temperatures and, by comparison with the set value, commands the primary solar circuit circulation pump. The thermostat controls the storage temperature and activates thermal integration from alternative sources to solar energy (water heaters, electricity, etc.). In addition, it can control the diverter valves in solar panels with natural circulation in order to utilize the albeit minimal available energy.

Differential temperature regulator The differential temperature regulator, using the two probes, measures the difference in temperature between probe (1) in the solar panel and probe (2) in the boiler. The differential temperature value can be read on the two digit display. If the T detected value exceeds the set value, the output contact is activated and may, for example, trigger the pump in the solar system circulation unit. It is recommended to set the T value between 5C and 8C, since this value optimises operation while taking into account the heat loss occurring within the solar system pipes. It also allow to activate the circulator only when the available thermal energy is higher than the consumed electricity. Thermostat The thermostat, using the probe, measures the temperature of the natural or forced circulation solar storage, according to the type of application; should it be below the set value, the thermostat will activate a contact powering the device connected to it. On solar regulator systems, a value equal to or greater than 55C is set. It is recommended to carry out periodic heat treatment to the hot water storage to prevent any possible growth of Legionella. Assembly The regulator and the thermostat are set up for assembly on a DIN bar, in a box or in a wiring cabinet.

Construction details Flow manifold The flow manifold is equipped with flow meters and built-in flow rate balancing valves. Acting on the regulating valve with the special cone-shaped obturator (1), the flow rate to the single circuits can be accurately adjusted to the required value, just by reading the value on the single flow meter with a scale of 15 l/min (2). This simplifies and speeds up the operation of circuit calibration, with no need for reference graphs. After adjustment, the valve can be locked open by means of its tamper-proof cover (3), which also acts as a knob for adjusting the flow rate. This valve makes it possible to seal off the single circuit, should this be necessary.

ALEFFI

Return manifold The return manifold is equipped with manual shut-off valves (1), in order to cut off the flow to the individual circuits. They can also be fitted with a thermo-electric actuator (2) that, when used with a room thermostat, maintains the ambient temperature at the set values despite any thermal load variation. The obturator stem (3) is made of ground stainless steel in order to minimize friction and prevent dangerous encrustation. The headwork (4) has a double EPDM O-Ring seal (5)-(6) on the sliding stem. The EPDM obturator (7) is shaped to optimize the hydraulic characteristics of the valve, preventing any sticking in the sealing seat after the circuit has been shut off. It minimizes the noise caused by the medium flow, also during the progressive action of opening or closing when operating with thermo-electric actuator.

Modular manifolds The manifolds are modular thanks to the threaded connections with an O-ring seal. The special machining of the thread on these connections enables perfect alignment between the two coupled parts once they are fully screwed in.

Replaceable components The headwork of the regulating valve with flow meter can be removed and replaced with spare parts.

End fitting Automatic air vent The automatic air vent performs the function of automatically expelling the air accumulating in the circuits of the air-conditioning system. It is equipped with a hygroscopic safety plug (1) that prevents water getting out to protect the installation.

Room identification On the manifold body, at the outlet of the single panel circuit, there is a special seat to place an adhesive label identifying the corresponding room.

Thermometers for circuit piping As an accessory, there is a special spirit thermometer with a scale of 550C, equipped with a push-fit plastic body, for the single circuit piping, with an outside diameter between 15 to 18 mm. This thermometer, installed on the return pipework, measures the actual temperature of the medium returning from the circuit making it possible to check the proper heat exchange of each single panel.

Manifold reversibility The manifolds are reversible, so they can be positioned with the entry from the right or left.

External shape of the manifolds and brackets The casting process makes it possible to shape the manifold outer geometry as needed. In this way, recesses (1) have been made in correspondence with the pipe passage coming down from the upper manifold, to allow it to be partially housed, for the benefit of depth. This particular outer shaping does not affect the head loss values, since the cross-sections of the recesses (a) are the same as in correspondence with the zones where the outlets (b)+(c) branch out and where the controls (setting lockshield and shut-off valves) obstruct the medium flow.

The partial pipe housing in the manifold shaping is moreover helped by the brackets, mounted with a precise slope in order to obtain a 25 mm shift between the upper and lower manifolds. As shown in the figure, at the time of installation, this offset makes a perfect automatic match between the pipe position and the manifold shape.

End fittings with multi-position valves The ball valves in the end fittings can be positioned to perform different functions.

Fill/drain Filling the circuits. Filling via the flow manifold and draining via the return manifold: both valves are in the open position.

Closing Closing the connection to the filling and draining valves. Both valves are in the closed position. The automatic air vent on the flow manifold is always connected and cannot be shut-off.

Operation with by-pass Normal operation. The valve of the return manifold is in the position of connection with the by-pass and the valve of the flow manifold is in the open position.

Hydraulic characteristics In order to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the circuit, it is necessary to calculate the total loss of head suffered by the flow of fluid as it passes through the devices forming the manifold assembly and the radiant panel circuits. From a hydraulic point of view, the system composed of the manifold assembly and the circuits can be represented as a set of hydraulic elements arranged in series and in parallel.

Example of calculation of total head loss Supposing we need to calculate the head loss of a manifold with three circuits (loops) with the following characteristics: Total manifold flow rate: 450 l/h The flow rate and head loss of the three loops are as follows: Circuit 1 P1= 10 kPa G1= 120 l/h P=G2/Kv0,012 Circuit 2 P2= 20 kPa G2= 250 l/h Circuit 3 P3= 7 kPa G3= 80 l/h

(1.2)

Each segment of the formula (1.1) is calculated using the following relationship:

G=flow rate in l/h P = loss of head in kPa (1 kPa =100 mm w.g.) Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h through the device, corresponding to a head loss of 1 kPa It should be highlighted that the PTot. must be calculated taking into account the circuit with the greatest head losses, distributed along the entire piping loop of the panel. In our example, the relevant circuit is Nr. 2. It follows that: PBV PLoop PSV PF Man. PR Man. PBall V. = = = = = = 2502/1852 = 1,82 kPa 20 kPa 2502/2502 = 1 kPa 4502/21002 = 0,04 kPa 4502/21002 = 0,04 kPa 4502/47502 = 0,01 kPa

} Values obtained by neglecting the changes due to the flow rate dispersed to each branch circuit

PTot.= 1,82 + 20 + 1 + 0,04 + 0,04 + 0,01 x 2 = 22,82 kPa

Using formula (1.1), adding up all the calculated terms, we obtain:

Note: We can ignore the three terms for the head losses associated with the ball valves and manifolds because of their low values. In general, the total head loss is fairly close to the branched circuit of the panel head loss.

Using the balancing valves with flow meter The balancing valves in the flow manifold make it possible to adjust each individual circuit in the panels to obtain the design flow rates in each loop.

Considering the following data: - medium flow rate across each circuit - head loss generated in each circuit by this flow rate: PCircuit = PLoop + PSV (PShut-off valve) - available head on the panel circuit or predefined head: HPredefined PCircuit + = PBV + PLoop + PSV

Flow rate adjustment and reading Raise the block cover with the aid of a screwdriver and turn it over onto the flow meter. Adjust the flow rate of the single panels by turning the flow meter body acting on the built-in balancing valve. The flow rate must be read off the graduated scale, expressed in l/min, printed on the flow meter. After making all the adjustments, reposition and lock all the knobs in their seat to prevent tampering.

Off-centre by-pass kit with fixed setting, code 668000S1 Function In radiant panel systems, the medium distribution circuits can be totally or partially shut off by closing the thermo-electric valves in the manifolds. After reducing the flow rate, the differential pressure in the circuit may increase up to values able to generate problems of noise, high medium speed, mechanical erosion and hydraulic unbalancing of the system itself. The differential by-pass kit for manifolds performs the function of keeping the flow and return pressure of the manifold circuit balanced when the flow rate varies. This valve is suitable for quick coupling with the 668...S1 series manifolds, reducing the overall dimensions to a minimum.

Operating principle The by-pass valve contains a non-return obturator integral with a counter spring. When the fixed setting differential pressure value is reached, the valve obturator opens gradually. In this way the flow is recirculated and, being proportional to the closure of the electrothermal valves, keeps the differential pressure constant in the manifold circuit. Construction details The off-centre by-pass kit has a fixed setting that cannot be changed since it has no accessible adjustment. The small, compact size and offset connections make this device particularly easy to mount after installing thermo-electric valves on the manifold. In addition, its installation does not require any wider or deeper zone boxes than the required ones for normal manifolds.

Construction details Pipe-fitting coupling flexibility This fitting has been specifically designed in order to adjust to several pipe diameters. The great variety of plastic pipes, single and multi-layer, on the market and the breadth of permissible tolerances have made it necessary to design a specific fitting. Keeping the nominal dimensions of the fittings currently on the market, the new construction solution makes it possible to use the same fitting for pipes with differences on their outside diameter up to 2 mm and on their inside diameter up to 0,5 mm. Pull-out resistance This fitting opposes high resistance to pipe pull-out. Its special tightening system makes it suitable for all applications, ensuring a perfect hydraulic seal. Low head losses The internal profile of the adapter (4) is shaped to obtain a Venturi effect as the medium flows. It permits reducing the head losses about 20% less than the loss corrisponding to the passages of the same diameter.

Dielectric seal ring The fitting is equipped with a rubber insulating element (5) to prevent contact between the aluminium in the multi layer pipe and the brass of the fitting. This prevents any galvanic corrosion generated by two different metals. Double O-Ring seal On the adapter there are two O-Ring seals (6) (7) made of EPDM in order to avoid potential leaks even at high working pressures.

Function In some hot water distribution systems there is a need to protect the most vulnerable people against scalding caused by hot water, such as, for example, in hospitals, in nursing homes or in schools. This particular series of thermostatic mixing valves has been specially designed for these applications and installation upstream the point of use. These thermostatic mixing valves ensure high thermal performance. They are able to accurately control the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user in case of variations in the inlet supply pressure or temperature, or in the flow rate. They are designed with a special anti-scald function which immediately shuts off the flow of water discharging from the mixed water outlet in the event of a failure of cold supply. (Certified under standard NF 079 doc. 8 - Device of class 12 (1/2) and class 20 (3/4), RU type, regulated by user).

Legionella vs scalding risk In systems producing hot water with storage, in order to avoid the dangerous infection known as Legionella, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60 C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria causing this infection will be totally eliminated. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. As shown in the diagram opposite, temperatures of more than 50C can cause burning very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burning will occur in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burning will occur in approximately 5 seconds. This time may be reduced by 50% for children and elderly people. In view of the above, it is necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve which can: reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value lower than that of the storage and make it suitable for sanitary use. maintain the temperature constant while while the incoming pressure and temperature conditions vary. prevent the water temperature at the outlet from reaching values above 50C. have an anti-scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply.

Operating principle The thermostatic mixing valve mixes the hot and cold water at the inlet so as to maintain the mixed water at a constant set temperature at the outlet. A thermostatic element is fully immersed in the mixed water pipe. It contracts or expands, thus moving an obturator which controls the hot or cold water passage at the inlet. If there are changes in inlet temperature or pressure, the internal element reacts automatically to restore the set temperature at the outlet. Construction details Anti-scale materials The materials used in constructing the mixing valve were selected to eliminate seizing due to limescale deposits. All functional parts have been made using a special material with low friction coefficient, which ensures over time performance. Anti-scald safety function As a safety measure, in case of failure of the cold water supply, the valve immediately shuts off the flow of mixed water. This prevents dangerous burns. This performance is guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference between the inlet hot water and the outlet mixed water of 15C (performance in compliance with French standards NF 079 Doc. 8). In case of failure of the hot water supply, the valve shuts off the mixed water to prevent dangerous thermal shocks.

Kv (m3/h) 1,5 1,85 Commissioning In view of the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance with current regulations by qualified personnel using appropriate temperature measurement equipped. Use of a digital thermometer is recommended for measuring the temperature of the mixed water. Temperature setting The temperature is set at the desired value using the regulator knob. Given the particular use of this type of mixing valve, the following table shows the recommended maximum outlet water temperatures to prevent scalding.

Use According to its flow characteristics, the Caleffi 5217 series thermostatic mixing valves can be used for application at the point of use or for a limited number of users, for example a bathroom. For this reason, the flow passing through the valve is generally the same as through the final user, for example the tap of a basin, shower, bidet, etc. To ensure a stable operation, a minimum flow rate of 4 l/min (1/2) and 6 l/min (3/4) must be guarantee to the mixing valve. The system must always be sized taking into account the current legislation on the nominal flow rate to each user. Public buildings, hospitals, nursery schools In this type of application the risk of scalding is extremly high because of the nature of the hot water users, who include children, old people, sick people. In these installations, the two supply networks providing hot water from the boiler and cold water may have different origins and operate at different pressures. In case of failure of the cold water supply, the mixing valve is able to shut off the supply of mixed water to prevent possible scalding. Selecting the correct size mixing valve If the design flow rate is known, taking into account simultaneous use of the sanitary appliances, the dimensions of the mixing valve are chosen by checking the graph provided to find the loss of head produced. In this case, it is necessary to check the available pressure, the loss of head in the system downstream of the mixer and the residual pressure to be guaranteed to user appliances. Installation Before installing the mixing valve, the connecting pipes should be washed to remove any impurities that could impair performance. We always recommend installing strainers of sufficient capacity at the inlet from the public water network. The 5217 series mixing valves are equipped with strainers on the hot and cold water inlets. The 5217 series thermostatic mixing valves must be installed as shown in the installation diagrams on the instruction sheet or in this leaflet. The 5217 series thermostatic mixing can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The following marks are indicated on the mixing valve body: hot water inlet, indicated by the letter H (Hot) cold water inlet, indicated by the letter C (Cold) mixed water outlet, indicated by the word MIX. Check valves In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves should be installed to prevent undesired flow return. 5217 series mixing valves are equipped with check valves at the hot and cold water inlets.

Function Conteca Solar is a direct heat energy meter especially suited for measuring heat energy recovered from a solar source used for an alternative management of the allocation of energy expenditures. The device comprises an electronic calculator unit, a flow rate volume meter and two temperature probes. The Conteca Solar meter is extremely simple to install and needs no special maintenance. The Conteca Solar flow rate meter is the turbine type. The turbine speed is measured by means of a high-resistance protected magnetic joint. Thanks to the mechanism being in a vacuum there is no condensation. The mechanism block cap, made of non-magnetic material, prevents all attempted tampering. The electronic technology and the materials used enable precise and reliable measurements. The temperature probes are high-precision Pt 100 that are easy to seal for greater protection against tampering. The cables connecting the flow and return probes to the calculator unit are 1,9 m long. The Conteca Solar meter is equipped with an 8-digit liquid crystal display that can be turned on with a button as it is normally off in order to save battery charge. This display enables easy reading of consumption and a range of technical data to permit evaluation of the operating status of the device and log the data. The Conteca Solar meter is fitted for centralised teletransmission (max 250 modules) in M-Bus mode.

Guidelines for first installation It is a good rule to have straight sections of piping immediately upstream and downstream from the meter. Length upstream 4 diameters. Length downstream 2 diameters. It is a good rule to have shut-off valves upstream and downstream from the meter in order to facilitate installation and maintenance, if required. In order to protect the meter, a strainer is fitted inside the temperature flow pocket. After installation, it is a good rule to wash the pipes and carry out a pressure test. After flushing and before securing the temperature probe, it is a good rule to check the state of clogging of the mesh strainer. After installing the hydraulic part you can install the electric/electronic parts. The default percentage of glycol set is 30%. If the percentage to be used is not 30%, the actual percentage must be notified when ordering. Application diagram Normally the hydraulic installation of the flow-rate meter is to be done on the return pipe. - The hydraulic diagrams given below show: a) the positioning of the meter so that it is at rest when there is no service. The flow-rate meter must preferably be installed in a horizontal position with the turbine axis vertical and respecting the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the body. b) the positioning of the probes The temperature probes (by means of the pocket) must be positioned on the corresponding flow/return pipes. The corresponding flow and return pipes are the ones involved with the same flow rate when the flow has started.

General information The temperature and pressure relief valves (TP) 309 series for solar systems are made by Caleffi S.p.A in compliance with the essential safety requirements laid down by Directive 97/23/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union for harmonisation of Member States with regard to pressurised equipment. Function The TP relief valve controls and limits the temperature and pressure of the hot water contained in a solar domestic water storage heater and prevents it from being able to reach temperatures of over 100C, with the formation of steam. On reaching the settings, the valve discharges a sufficient amount of water into the atmosphere so that the temperature and pressure return within the systems operating limits. This particular series of valves is certified as conforming to the performance requirements of the European standard EN 1490 (for settings of 7 - 10 bar).

Operating principle The valve opens the outlet on reaching the settings for: - temperature: the thermostat compound inside the temperature sensor 1), submerged in the hot water storage heater, expands as the temperature increases. This expansion causes a thrust pin to move and act on the obturator 2) opening the valve. The valve is set to open at temperatures of over 90C. - pressure: the obturator, opposed by a set spring, raises on reaching the pressure setting and opens the outlet completely. The pressure setting is chosen according to the maximum permissible pressure in the system. As the temperature and pressure decrease, the opposite action occurs with the valve subsequently reclosing within the set tolerances. Certification CE mark 309 series TP relief valves for solar systems comply with the essential safety requirements of Directive 97/23/EC concerning pressure equipment (also called P.E.D.). They are therefore classified as category IV and are equipped with the CE mark. Product certification in accordance with European Standard EN 1490 European Standard EN 1490: 2000, entitled Building valves - Combined temperature and pressure relief valves Tests and requirements, describes the constructional and performance specifications that TP relief valves must have. Caleffi 309 series TP relief valves for solar systems are certified by Buildcert (UK) to comply with the requirements of the European Standard EN 1490 (for settings 7 10 bar).

Installation Before installing a TP relief valve it is necessary for the sizing to be performed correctly by specialized technical personnel in accordance with the current regulations for the specific applications. Any use other than the intended use is prohibited. The TP relief valves must be installed by qualified technical personnel in accordance with current regulations. The TP relief valves must be installed observing the direction of flow indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

Assembly Plumbing system TP relief valves must be installed on the top of the solar hot water storage heater, making sure that the temperature sensor is correctly submerged in the tank. Make sure that there are no shut-off devices between the valve and the storage heater. TP relief valves can be fitted vertically or horizontally, but not overturned. This prevents debris from impairing operation.

Benefits of balancing solar thermal circuits When a solar thermal circuit is properly balanced, it is ensured the correct flow rate circulating through the system, depending on the panel size.

Operating principle The balancing valve is an hydraulic device that allows to regulate the medium flow rate passing through. The regulating action is made by a ball obturator (1), operated by a control stem (2). The flow rate is controlled by means of a flow meter (3) housed in a by-pass circuit, on the valve body, that can be shut off during normal functioning. The flow rate value is indicated by a metal sphere (4), sliding within a transparent guide (5), marked alongside by a graduated scale (6).

Construction details Temperature In solar thermal systems, the primary circuit thermal medium is a glycol solution operating at high temperature; for taking into account these particular working conditions, the seals and the inner plastic components of the valve are made of highly temperature resistant materials. Flow meter The flow rate value is displayed directly by a flow meter housed in a by-pass circuit on the valve body, automatically shut-off during normal functioning. The use of a flow meter greatly simplifies the process of system balancing, since the flow rate can be measured and controlled at any time and there is no need for differential pressure gauges or reference charts. Flow meter obturator The obturator (1) opens and shuts the circuit between the flow meter and the valve. The obturator can be easily opened by pulling the ring (2), and is closed automatically, 1 after completion of the procedure, by the internal spring (3). The spring and the EPDM 4 3 2 seal (4) guarantee over time a perfect circuit closure during normal functioning. The operating ring (2) is made of a material with low thermal conductivity to avoid burns if the flow meter is opened while hot medium is passing through the valve. Ball and magnet indicator The ball (4) that indicates the flow rate value is not in direct contact with the thermal medium passing through the flow meter. Thanks to an effective and innovative measuring system, the ball slides up and down in a cylinder (5) that is actually separate from the body of the flow meter. The ball is moved by a magnet (6) fixed to a float (7). This means that the flow rate indication system remains perfectly clean and provides reliable readings over time.

The provision of a flow meter also means that it is not anymore necessary to calculate valve settings at the system design stage. The advantages of this solution can be explained as significant time and cost saving, because the traditional balancing device presetting, performed by qualified technicians, is a long and difficult procedure.

Complete closing and opening of the valve The valve can be completely closed and opened. A slot on the obturator stem indicates the status of the valve. When the control stem is turned fully clockwise and the slot lies perpendicular to the Completely closed Completely open axis of the valve, the valve is fully closed (A). When the control stem is turned fully anti-clockwise and the slot lies parallel to the axis of the valve, the valve is fully open (B). A B

Advantages of balanced circuits Balanced circuits have the following principal benefits: 1. The system terminals operate correctly in heating, cooling and dehumidification without waste of energy and provide a better comfort. 2. The pumps run in their zone of highest efficiency, thus reducing the risk of overheating and excessive wear. 3. Too high medium speeds, which can result in noise and abrasion, are avoided. 4. The differential pressures acting on the regulation valves are limited in value, thus preventing faulty operation.

Operating principle The balancing valve is an hydraulic device that allows to regulate the medium flow rate passing through. The regulating action is made by a ball obturator (1), operated by a control stem (2). The flow rate is controlled by means of a flow meter (3) housed in a by-pass circuit, on the valve body, that can be shut off during normal functioning.

Insulation The 132 series balancing valve is supplied complete with hot pre-formed insulation. This system ensures not only perfect thermal insulation, but also tightness to water vapour from the environment towards the inside. For these reasons, this type of insulation can also be used in chilled water circuits as it prevents condensation forming on the surface of the valve body.

Function This series of stainless steel manifolds is provided for control and distribution of the heating fluid in radiant panel systems that require particularly high flow rates. For this reason they are mainly indicated for industrial type applications, such as warehouses, factories, large workshops, etc. They are supplied in a pre-assembled version with 3 to 16 outlets complete with: shut-off valves on the outlets giving the possibility of cutting off the heating to different areas, pockets for temperature gauges (supplied in the package) for controlling the radiant panel heat exchange and cocks with hose connection for filling/draining the circuit. The use of stainless steel allows the manifolds to be used with drinking water or aggressive fluids.

Construction details Ease of installation The manifold is supplied pre-assembled with fixing brackets, ready for mounting directly on the wall. Temperature gauges and fill/drain cocks The manifold is supplied complete with pockets for temperature gauges (1), included in the package, for the control and measurement of the flow and 2 return heating fluid and the control of the radiant panel heat exchange. 1 To make circuit filling and draining easier, the cocks (2) are built-in to the manifolds, positioned centrally at the top side. Reversibility of connections The manifold is reversible: the main connections can be positioned with entry from the right or left by unscrewing and moving the end fitting caps. Low head losses The underfloor systems for industrial applications usually are based on higher heating fluid flow rates than those intended for civil use. For this reason, the 6509 series manifold has been designed with inner diameter an outlets that allow maximum flow through them with reduced head losses.

Stainless steel body The stainless steel, the manifold is constructed with, gives a greater compactness to the unit, not only with regard to the installation but also in relation to its intended use (in industrial environments). The stainless steel alloy brings further benefits since the manifold can be used also with drinking water and aggressive fluids.

Underfloor radiant panels and work environment Comfort The increased worker comfort makes it possible to reduce waste and margins of error and provides a general incentive to achieving optimum, professional work standards. The heating, based prevalently on the propagation of heat by irradiation (1a), avoids conditions of thermal stratification thanks to the lack of the upward motion of the air, typical of ventilation systems (1b). This makes the temperature profile more adaptable to the room height (2a) and the needs of the human body, with a greater presence of oxygen in the environment and the optimum relative humidity of the air. Workers health Radiant panel heating systems avoid the formation of air currents generated by ventilation systems (1b). These currents cause the movement of particles, dust and ultra-fine substances (e.g. sawdust in carpentry workshops) that can create problems, especially with regard to workers health (2b). Energy Saving The prevalent amount of heat yielded by radiant panel systems is from irradiation (1a). This makes it possible to keep the air at a lower temperature whilst maintaining the same comfort level, thus reducing the flow temperature of the heating fluid. In an industrial context, if the heating fluid temperatures are low then the heat generated by production processes can be re-used, thus reducing costs. Maintenance As there are no parts subject to wear in radiant panel systems, routine and non-routine maintenance costs (3b) are drastically reduced. The system is tamper-proof and guaranteed free of possible breaks caused by moving loads (3a). In ventilation systems, the micro-particles transported by the air currents and the excessive thermal gradients caused by the currents can also cause problems for precision machining equipments (4b) and products (e.g. in the medical/pharmaceutical or food industries). Zone control In radiant panel systems, cutting the heating off to different areas is easy, thanks to the shut-off valves on the manifold (4a).

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from two probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet and probe from the panel circuit return, and it controls the movement of the valve. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow port (2) and the water returning port from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load. Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do. Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver. Regulating way - primary inlet Fully closed Fully open Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain valve and flow temperature probe.

Differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit.

Removable kit In case of an hydraulic circuit connected to a Sepcoll or to an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. The circuit shut-off valves, equipped with nut connection, can be removed easily and used directly on the unit.
Connection without hydraulic separator or SEPCOLL

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G

Digital regulator 2 7 3 4 8 1

Operation The regulator receives the signal from the room thermostat to switch the pump on and to control the mixing valve. The regulator acts on the mixing valve following two operating logics, depending on the state of activation of the return sensor. Set point regulation: return probe off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature TM is kept constant at the value set with the selector 5) in both heating and cooling. This setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return probe on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature TM is changed according to the temperature measured by the return probe TR. In this way the actual thermal efficiency of the slab is kept under control and, as a result, the rooms thermal load as well. This minimizes the systems thermal response times. TRset = TMset - 35% (TMset - 20C) TMcalculated = TMset + (TRset - TR)

Example: TMset = 40C TRset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C TMcalculated = 40 + (33 - TR)
The new value of TM calculated is shown on the display 1) with a side bar. 10 11 12 9 6 5 At each update of the TM calculated, the TM measured is displayed for 5 s, thereafter the new TM calculated is shown again.

The front panel identifies the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD indicating: the measured or calculated temperature and the settings of the delays programmed in the system. Temperature range displayed: 099C with resolution 0,1C. TM modification stops when TR reaches TRset. 2) Regulator On/Off function selector. 3) Mixing on opening: LED on. Curve correction graph with return probe 4) Mixing on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting the flow temperature. Temperature range 778C Factory configuration: - heating: max 50C TM;TR (C)

6) Return probe selector. Probe off: OFF Probe on: ON Factory configuration: ON 7) Pump working (ON): LED on steady. 8) T.S. LED safety temperature. Continuously ON when the limit signalled by the safety thermostat is reached. Continuously ON even if the flow/return probe malfunction (see flow/return sensor paragraph). 9) Heating/cooling function switch, only with RH% control components

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from two probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet and probe from the panel circuit return, and it controls the movement of the valve. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow port (2) and the water returning port from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load. Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do. Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver. Regulating way - primary inlet Fully closed Fully open Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain valve and flow temperature probe.

Differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit.

Removable kit In case of an hydraulic circuit connected to a Sepcoll or to an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. The circuit shut-off valves, equipped with nut connection, can be removed easily and used directly on the unit.
Connection without hydraulic separator or SEPCOLL

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating or cooling elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Kit di by-pass circuito primario The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G

Digital regulator 2 7 3 4 8 1

Operation The regulator receives the signal from the room thermostat to switch the pump on and to control the mixing valve. The regulator acts on the mixing valve following two operating logics, depending on the state of activation of the return sensor. Set point regulation: return probe off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature TM is kept constant at the value set with the selector 5) in both heating and cooling. This setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return probe on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature TM is changed according to the temperature measured by the return probe TR. In this way the actual thermal efficiency of the slab is kept under control and, as a result, the rooms thermal load as well. This minimizes the systems thermal response times. TRset = TMset - 35% (TMset - 20C) TMcalculated = TMset + (TRset - TR)

Example: TMset = 40C TRset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C TMcalculated = 40 + (33 - TR)
The new value of TM calculated is shown on the display 1) with a side bar. 10 11 12 9 6 5 At each update of the TM calculated, the TM measured is displayed for 5 s, thereafter the new TM calculated is shown again.

The front panel identifies the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD indicating: the measured or calculated temperature and the settings of the delays programmed in the system. Temperature range displayed: 099C with resolution 0,1C. TM modification stops when TR reaches TRset. 2) Regulator On/Off function selector. 3) Mixing on opening: LED on. Curve correction graph with return probe 4) Mixing on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting the flow temperature. Temperature range 778C Factory configuration: - heating: max 50C - cooling: min 14C 6) Return probe selector. Probe off: OFF Probe on: ON Factory configuration: ON 7) Pump working (ON): LED on steady. 8) T.S. LED safety temperature. Continuously ON when the limit signalled by the safety thermostat or by the safety humidostat is reached. Continuously ON even if the flow/return probe malfunction (see flow/return sensor paragraph). 9) Heating/cooling function switch 10) Trimmer for maximum pulse duration on the valve.

Maximum temperature limit for cooling When cooling, the flow temperature can be selected no higher than 25C. Relative humidity control When using the cooling regulator, it is necessary to use the specific relative humidity probe. This probe has the task of measuring the limit of relative humidity so as to prevent condensation in the cooling slab. It is set for RH=80 85%. On reaching the setting, it triggers the following operating state: pump ON, mixer closed. Humidity probe control At the start of each cooling season, the operating state of the probe must be checked by placing a moist wad of cotton wool on its surface; this will cause the mixer to close and the red LED point 8 on the panel front to light up. Positioning the humidity probe Depending on the system characteristics, the humidity probe is located where there is the greatest risk of condensation. It is placed with the carbon portion upwards, as shown in the following diagrams.

Top side: carbon

Bottom side: housed on the cooling surface

Steps for correctly positioning the max RH% limit probe. The probe is secured to the manifold installed in the zone where you want to check that the relative humidity RH% cannot exceed the safety values. It is secured by means of the two clamps, using the specific holes. By controlling the following parameters it is possible to reach the maximum heating power delivered by the panel. - Minimum flow temperature, selectable via selector (5) on front panel. - Relative humidity RH% limit point, checked with relative humidity probe. - Ambient temperature, checked via ambient thermostat - Temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air, checked via fan coil or dehumidifier. Caution: The RH% limit probe is used to prevent any condensation from forming. In rooms where there is cooling, there must always be suitable air treatment.

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from two probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet and probe from the panel circuit return, and it controls the movement of the valve. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load. Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do. Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver. Regulating way - primary inlet Fully closed Fully open Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain valve and flow temperature probe.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit. It is composed of distribution manifolds with built-in regulating and shut-off valves, and the differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow rate regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric controls. p (mm w.g.)

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermoelectric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit. p (mm w.g.)

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Digital regulator 2 7 3 4 8 1

Operation The regulator receives the signal from the room thermostat to switch the pump on and to control the mixing valve. The regulator acts on the mixing valve following two operating logics, depending on the state of activation of the return sensor. Set point regulation: return probe off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature TM is kept constant at the value set with the selector 5) in both heating and cooling. This setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return probe on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature TM is changed according to the temperature measured by the return probe TR. In this way the actual thermal efficiency of the slab is kept under control and, as a result, the rooms thermal load as well. This minimizes the systems thermal response times. TRset = TMset - 35% (TMset - 20C) TMcalculated = TMset + (TRset - TR)

Example: TMset = 40C TRset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C TMcalculated = 40 + (33 - TR)
The new value of TM calculated is shown on the display 1) with a side bar. 10 11 12 9 6 5 At each update of the TM calculated, the TM measured is displayed for 5 s, thereafter the new TM calculated is shown again.

The front panel identifies the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD indicating: the measured or calculated temperature and the settings of the delays programmed in the system. Temperature range displayed: 099C with resolution 0,1C. TM modification stops when TR reaches TRset. 2) Regulator On/Off function selector. 3) Mixing on opening: LED on. Curve correction graph with return probe 4) Mixing on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting the flow temperature. Temperature range 778C Factory configuration: - heating: max 50C TM;TR (C)
50 Flow temperature limit

6) Return probe selector. Probe off: OFF Probe on: ON Factory configuration: ON 7) Pump working (ON): LED on steady. 8) T.S. LED safety temperature. Continuously ON when the limit signalled by the safety thermostat is reached. Continuously ON even if the flow/return probe malfunction (see flow/return probe paragraph). 9) Heating/cooling function switch, only with RH% control components

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from two probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet and probe from the panel circuit return, and it controls the movement of the valve. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load. Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do. Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver. Regulating way - primary inlet Fully closed Fully open Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain valve and flow temperature probe.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating or cooling elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit. It is composed of distribution manifolds with built-in regulating and shut-off valves, and the differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow rate regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric controls. p (mm w.g.)

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating or cooling elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit. p (mm w.g.)

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Digital regulator 2 7 3 4 8 1

Operation The regulator receives the signal from the room thermostat to switch the pump on and to control the mixing valve. The regulator acts on the mixing valve following two operating logics, depending on the state of activation of the return sensor. Set point regulation: return probe off. Selector 6) OFF. In this case the flow temperature TM is kept constant at the value set with the selector 5) in both heating and cooling. This setting is shown on the display 1). Modulating regulation: return probe on. Selector 6) ON. In this case the flow temperature TM is changed according to the temperature measured by the return probe TR. In this way the actual thermal efficiency of the slab is kept under control and, as a result, the rooms thermal load as well. This minimizes the systems thermal response times. TRset = TMset - 35% (TMset - 20C) TMcalculated = TMset + (TRset - TR)

Example: TMset = 40C TRset = 40 - 0,35 (40 - 20) = 33C TMcalculated = 40 + (33 - TR)
The new value of TM calculated is shown on the display 1) with a side bar. 10 11 12 9 6 5 At each update of the TM calculated, the TM measured is displayed for 5 s, thereafter the new TM calculated is shown again.

The front panel identifies the following functions: 1) Three-digit LCD indicating: the measured or calculated temperature and the settings of the delays programmed in the system. Temperature range displayed: 099C with resolution 0,1C. TM modification stops when TR reaches TRset. 2) Regulator On/Off function selector. 3) Mixer on opening: LED on. Curve correction graph with return probe 4) Mixer on closing: LED on. 5) Selector for setting the flow temperature. Temperature range 778C Factory configuration: - heating: max 50C - cooling: min 14C 6) Return probe selector. Probe off: OFF Probe on: ON Factory configuration: ON 7) Pump working (ON): LED on steady. 8) T.S. LED safety temperature. Continuously ON when the limit signalled by the safety thermostat or by the safety humidostat is reached. Continuously ON even if the flow/return sensors malfunction (see flow/return sensor paragraph). 9) Heating/cooling function switch 10) Trimmer for maximum pulse duration on the valve.

The thermostat contact is N/C; if the connection fails, the regulator is not on. Auxiliary microswitch The regulator is equipped with an auxiliary microswitch that can be used to control other devices. Example: When Heating, to turn the water heater on/off. N/O contact - Pump stationary - ambient thermostat OFF or safety thermostat on (water heater off). N/C contact - Pump on - ambient thermostat ON (water heater on). When Cooling, to turn the refrigerating unit on/off. N/O contact - Pump stationary - ambient thermostat OFF or RH% limit probe on (refrigerating unit off). N/C contact - Pump on - ambient thermostat ON (refrigerating unit on). Contact capacity: 5 A (230 V). Flow/return probe The flow/return temperature probes are the NTC type. If the probes detect an ohmic resistance corresponding to short circuiting, the following operating state comes into operation: pump OFF, mixing valve closed, LED 8) on steady.

Maximum temperature limit for cooling When cooling, the flow temperature can be selected no higher than 25C. Relative humidity control When using the cooling regulator, it is necessary to use the specific relative humidity probe. This probe has the task of measuring the limit of relative humidity so as to prevent condensation in the cooling slab. It is set for RH=80 85%. On reaching the setting, it triggers the following operating state: pump ON, mixer closed. Humidity probe control At the start of each cooling season, the operating state of the probe must be checked by placing a moist wad of cotton wool on its surface; this will cause the mixer to close and the red LED point 8 on the panel front to light up. Positioning the humidity probe Depending on the system characteristics, the humidity probe is located where there is the greatest risk of condensation. It is placed with the carbon portion upwards, as shown in the following diagrams.

Function The temperature regulating unit is made to be used in radiant panel systems, in combination with distribution manifolds. The set point regulating unit performs the function of keeping the flow temperature constant, at the set value, for the medium distributed in a low temperature system for floor radiant panels. In this particular series, the temperature is regulated by a specific hydraulic unit equipped with a thermostatic three-way valve with a built-in sensor. It is supplied with a removable differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit. This accessory is essential when there is a primary circuit circulation pump and the radiator circuits are controlled by thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. In case of connection with a Sepcoll or an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. Patent application No. MI2006A 001935.

Operating principle The regulator element inside the thermostatic three-way valve consists of a temperature sensor (1) fully immersed in the mixed water outlet chamber. By expanding and contracting, it continuously ensures a correct proportioning of hot water, coming from the boiler, and water returning from the panel circuit. The water intake is regulated by a shaped obturator (2) that slides inside a special cylinder placed between the hot water flow (3) and the water returning from the circuit (4). Even if the thermal load of the secondary circuit or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the set temperature.

Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the temperature regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect.

Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator that acts on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control.

Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge and drain valve.

Non-sticking materials The materials used for the mixing valve construction eliminate potential sticking due to scale. All functional parts, such as the obturator, valve seats and guides, have been made using a special material with low friction coefficient, which ensures performance over time.
30 20 40 50 60 70 0 C 80

Low inertia thermostat sensor The temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic three-way valve, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time as the thermal load changes.

Temperature adjustment and locking The control knob is used to adjust temperature in a full turn (360) between min. and max. It also has tamper protection for locking the temperature at the set value. Adjustment locking Turn the knob onto the required number, unscrew the upper screw, remove the knob and put it back on so that the internal reference couples with the protrusion on the knob carrier ring nut.

Differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit.

Removable kit In case of an hydraulic circuit connected to a Sepcoll or to an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. The circuit shut-off valves, equipped with nut connection, can be removed easily and used directly on the unit.
Connection without hydraulic separator or SEPCOLL

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G

Non-sticking materials The materials used for the mixing valve construction eliminate potential sticking due to scale. All functional parts, such as the obturator, valve seats and guides, have been made using a special material with low friction coefficient, which ensures performance over time.

Low-inertia thermostat sensor The temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic three-way valve, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time as the thermal load changes.

Temperature adjustment and locking The control knob is used to adjust temperature in a full turn (360) between min. and max. It also has tamper protection for locking the temperature at the set value. Adjustment locking Turn the knob onto the required number, unscrew the upper screw, remove the knob and put it back on so that the internal reference couples with the protrusion on the knob carrier ring nut.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric actuators.

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating or cooling elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Function The temperature regulating unit is made to be used in radiant panel systems in combination with distribution manifolds. The outside compensated temperature regulating unit, complete with temperature digital regulator, controls the temperature of the medium sent to the panels, with a compensation depending on the outside and inside temperature and the actual thermal load. In this particular series, the temperature is regulated by a dedicated hydraulic unit equipped with a specific motorised three-way valve. It is supplied with a removable differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit. This accessory is essential when there is a primary circuit circulation pump and the radiator circuits or fan coils are controlled by thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. In case of connection with a Sepcoll or an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. Patent application No. MI2006A001935.

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from four probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet, probe on the panel circuit return, outside probe and room probe. It controls the valve movement. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load.

Differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit.

Removable kit In case of an hydraulic circuit connected to a Sepcoll or to an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. The circuit shut-off valves, equipped with nut connection, can be removed easily and used directly on the unit.
Connection without hydraulic separator or SEPCOLL

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

The LED gives information on the status by means of a multicoloured diode; the statuses it indicates are as follows: - flashing green: controller initialisation - fixed green: controller operating - flashing green/red: controller operating with probe error - flashing red: controller verification loop - prolonged red: controller error 2. The mini-DIN connector, on the front of the panel, makes it possible to view all the parameters managed by the control. A Sub D 9-pole mini-DIN data transmission cable is used for the connection to a PC. The cable and specific transmission program are available as optionals.

Immediate comfort function This makes it possible to change the comfort without changing the controller set parameters. The second line of the display shows the standard correction value - 0 of the characteristic curve. This value can be increased to + 5 or reduced to - 5 by turning the knob to the right or to the left respectively. Each single change corresponds to a 5% shift in the characteristic curve. Example, referred to factory configuration: flow temperature-heating start-up T = 20C and flow T at outside min. temp. = 40C corresponds to a temperature range T of 20 K (100%). The adjustment of the correction is +1; this means that the temperature of the mixing valve circuit 1 is raised by 1 K (5% of T), thus the flow temperature will be 41C.

Details of functions Adjustment of flow temperature in relation to the outside temperature The calculated flow temperature depends on the quantities read by the probes: outside, flow, return probe, room probe thermostat and set curve. Mixing valve and pump blocking safety system Long shutdown periods, such as in the summer, could lead to mixing valve malfunctions or pump blocking. To avoid this, the mixing valve and pump are operated automatically for 60 seconds every day. Frost protection function - double control level First level: the pump is switched on if the outside temperature is less than 4C or the room temperature less than 5C (room probe present). It is switched off when the outside temperature exceeds 6C or the room temperature exceeds 7C. Second level: if the flow or return temperature is less than 7C, the mixing valve is opened and the pump switched on. When this temperature in the circuit is over 20C, the pump switches off and the mixing valve is closed. Probe control Outside temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than -25C or greater than +40C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed and the display will show the message < OT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. The frost protection function, flow sensor and summer blocking safety system, however, remain enabled. Flow temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than 0C or greater than 110C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed. The display will show the message < FT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. Optional probe recognition If there are no optional probes (room t. and return t.), the controller will signal their absence with -X- . When the probes are connected, the system recognises them automatically. As these are corrective probes, no alarm state is signalled in the event of a malfunction. Slab drying (for floors, wall and ceiling heating systems) The new low-temperature systems have to be heated gradually, after a period of natural drying. The automatic initial heating-drying program can be used for this. This program must be activated in Standby function. The overall duration is seven days. In the first three days, the flow temperature will be maintained at 25C. In the remaining four days, the flow temperature will be at the value set at the max. blocking temperature menu point (menu structure level 4). At the end of this procedure, the slab drying function must be switched off, otherwise the controller repeats the operation automatically. If there is a break in the electricity during the drying, the program will restart automatically from the point when the break occurred. Procedure: Level 0

CAUTION: when this procedure is set, check whether the max. blocking FT needs to be adjusted; the factory set is 55C Comfort and set-back correction optimisation (manual or with self-learning) Comfort optimisation and set-back correction (manual or with self-learning) The room probe thermostat must be present for this operation. The optimisation makes it possible to bring forward the activation of the change from set-back correction to comfort (in this function the FT is set at the max. design specification), so as to reduce to a minimum the actual time necessary to reach the desired comfort level. This function can operate in three ways: = off; = active; A = self-learning.

Active: Since the time of the bringing forward depends on a number of different system parameters (power, outside and room temperatures, heat exchange, type of structure, etc.), a structure gradient reference coefficient must be set. Some reference values are given below. Structure gradient reference values - Building with low heat loss: 400 - Factory configuration: 100 - Building with very high heat loss: 50 Self-learning : In this case the bringing forward of the activation depends on the controller. The maximum suggested self-learning period is 10 days; before the end of the 10 days it is necessary to go from operating state A = self-learning to the = active operating state. The resulting structure gradient coefficient will be entered automatically at the < constant > operating state menu point. Average outside temperature This function can be enabled when necessary. If enabled, the average outside temperature, known as OT ref., is calculated automatically and recorded every hour. It is used to determine the flow temperature value. The calculation of the average OT ref. makes it possible to attenuate the effect of sudden changes of outside temperature.

Effect of return temperature If the return temperature probe is connected, the controller uses this value as an approximate parameter of the required actual thermal load. The controller calculates the difference between the design return temperature (with an influence between 0 and 50%. Factory configuration: 0%) and the actual measured value. This difference is used to change the flow temperature. For example, if the thermal load is less than the design value, there will be a final T between flow and return that is lower than the design value. In this case the characteristic curve will be lowered. If the actual thermal load is greater, then the characteristic curve will be raised. Effect of room probe thermostat If a room probe thermostat (code 151000) is connected, the actual room temperature will be read. The user can set the desired comfort room temperature on the thermostat. In the set-back correction function, this value is automatically reduced by 2 K. During the Manual forcing to Tmax function, the effect of the room probe thermostat on the controller is not active. Depending on the temperature difference between the actual measured value and the set value, the characteristic curve is moved to the right or left.

Work states
Standby In this state, the controller remains inactive, keeping the mixing valve closed and the pump off. The mixing valve and pump frost protection and anti-blocking function remains active. Comfort During the comfort function, the flow temperature is adjusted according to the measured outside temperature, following the set characteristic curve. This curve is automatically corrected if a room probe thermostat or a return probe are present. Set-back correction During the set-back correction function, the nominal flow temperature is lowered, by means of a parallel downward shifting of the characteristic curve. This shifting is settable with a parameter of between 0 and -50%. Maximum temperature This function guarantees heating to the maximum set temperature. This value, Tmax, can be set from 25C to 90C. Standard indication and change of nominal value On the display there is: day of week, date, time, curve correction, work state, room temperature or outside temperature.

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from four probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet, probe on the panel circuit return, outside probe and room probe. It controls the valve movement. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no variations due to sudden changes in thermal load.

Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do. Auxiliary microswitch The actuator is equipped with an auxiliary microswitch that can be used to switch on the generator. Mixing valve fully closed: contact OFF. Start opening mixing valve: contact ON.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit. It is composed of distribution manifolds with built-in regulating and shut-off valves and the differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow rate regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric actuators. p (mm w.g.)

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit. p (mm w.g.)

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Immediate comfort function This makes it possible to change the comfort without changing the controller set parameters. The second line of the display shows the standard correction value - 0 of the characteristic curve. This value can be increased to + 5 or reduced to - 5 by turning the knob to the right or to the left respectively. Each single change corresponds to a 5% shift in the characteristic curve. Example, referred to factory configuration: flow temperature-heating start-up T = 20C and flow T at outside min. temp. = 40C corresponds to a temperature range T of 20 K (100%). The adjustment of the correction is +1; this means that the temperature of the mixing valve circuit 1 is raised by 1 K (5% of T), thus the flow temperature will be 41C.

Probe connection Dedicated raceway must be used for the connection of the flow, return and outside probes, the room thermostat and controller. If the connection cable shares the raceway with other power cables, shielded and earthed cable must be used. Any alteration to the wiring of the controller could result in electrical disturbance. A reset must be done (i.e. switching the controller's power supply off for a few seconds) whenever work is done on the wiring. Maximum distance between remote control and controller: 100 m, with 4-pole cable of 0.5 mm2 section.

Details of functions Adjustment of flow temperature in relation to the outside temperature The calculated flow temperature depends on the quantities read by the probes: outside, flow, return probe, room thermostat and set curve. Mixing valve and pump blocking safety system Long shutdown periods, such as in the summer, could lead to mixing valve malfunctions or pump blocking. To avoid this, the mixing valve and pump are operated automatically for 60 seconds every day. Frost protection function - double control level First level: the pump is switched on if the outside temperature is less than 4C or the room temperature less than 5C (room probe present). It is switched off when the outside temperature exceeds 6C or the room temperature exceeds 7C. Second level: if the flow or return temperature is less than 7C, the mixing valve is opened and the pump switched on. When this temperature in the circuit is over 20C, the pump switches off and the mixing valve is closed. Probe control Outside temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than -25C or greater than +40C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed and the display will show the message < OT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. The frost protection function, flow sensor and summer blocking safety system, however, remain enabled. Flow temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than 0C or greater than 110C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed. The display will show the message < FT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. Optional probe recognition If there are no optional probes (room t. and return t.), the controller will signal their absence with -X- . When the probes are connected, the system recognises them automatically. As these are corrective probes, no alarm state is signalled in the event of a malfunction. Slab drying (for floors, wall and ceiling heating systems) The new low-temperature systems have to be heated gradually, after a period of natural drying. The automatic initial heating-drying program can be used for this. This program must be activated in Standby function. The overall duration is seven days. In the first three days, the flow temperature will be maintained at 25C. In the remaining four days, the flow temperature will be at the value set at the max. blocking temperature menu point (menu structure level 4). At the end of this procedure, the slab drying function must be switched off, otherwise the controller repeats the operation automatically. If there is a break in the electricity during the drying, the program will restart automatically from the point when the break occurred. Procedure: Level 0

CAUTION: when this procedure is set, check whether the max. blocking FT needs to be adjusted; the factory set is 55C Comfort and set-back correction optimisation (manual or with self-learning) Comfort optimisation and set-back correction (manual or with self-learning) The room probe thermostat must be present for this operation. The optimisation makes it possible to bring forward the activation of the change from set-back correction to comfort (in this function the FT is set at the max. design specification), so as to reduce to a minimum the actual time necessary to reach the desired comfort level. This function can operate in three ways: = off; = active; A = self-learning.

Active: Since the time of the bringing forward depends on a number of different system parameters (power, outside and room temperatures, heat exchange, type of structure, etc.), a structure gradient reference coefficient must be set. Some reference values are given below. Structure gradient reference values - Building with low heat loss: 400 - Factory configuration: 100 - Building with very high heat loss: 50 Self-learning : In this case the bringing forward of the activation depends on the controller. The maximum suggested self-learning period is 10 days; before the end of the 10 days it is necessary to go from operating state A = self-learning to the = active operating state. The resulting structure gradient coefficient will be entered automatically at the < constant > operating state menu point. Average outside temperature This function can be enabled when necessary. If enabled, the average outside temperature, known as OT ref., is calculated automatically and recorded every hour. It is used to determine the flow temperature value. The calculation of the average OT ref. makes it possible to attenuate the effect of sudden changes of outside temperature.

Effect of return temperature If the return temperature probe is connected, the controller uses this value as an approximate parameter of the required actual thermal load. The controller calculates the difference between the design return temperature (with an influence between 0 and 50%. Factory configuration: 0%) and the actual measured value. This difference is used to change the flow temperature. For example, if the thermal load is less than the design value, there will be a final T between flow and return that is lower than the design value. In this case the characteristic curve will be lowered. If the actual thermal load is greater, then the characteristic curve will be raised. Effect of room probe thermostat If a room probe thermostat (code 151000) is connected, the actual room temperature will be read. The user can set the desired comfort room temperature on the thermostat. In the set-back correction function, this value is automatically reduced by 2 K. During the Manual forcing to Tmax function, the effect of the room probe thermostat on the controller is not active. Depending on the temperature difference between the actual measured value and the set value, the characteristic curve is moved to the right or left.

Work states
Standby In this state, the controller remains inactive, keeping the mixing valve closed and the pump off. The mixing valve and pump frost protection and anti-blocking function remains active. Comfort During the comfort function, the flow temperature is adjusted according to the measured outside temperature, following the set characteristic curve. This curve is automatically corrected if a room probe thermostat or a return probe are present. Set-back correction During the set-back correction function, the nominal flow temperature is lowered, by means of a parallel downward shifting of the characteristic curve. This shifting is settable with a parameter of between 0 and -50%. Maximum temperature This function guarantees heating to the maximum set temperature. This value, Tmax, can be set from 25C to 90C. Standard indication and change of nominal value On the display there is: day of week, date, time, curve correction, work state, room temperature or outside temperature.

Construction details Mixing valve The mixing valve is a three-way type with a sector obturator. The internal regulating element is made entirely of stainless steel so as to minimize wear on the moving parts and ensure performance is maintained over time. The obturator and the valve body are sized so as to ensure a high flow rate with reduced overall dimensions while permitting accurate regulation of the water flows. Thus providing the best conditions for precise adjustment of the temperature of the mixed water sent to the system.

Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver. Electrical connections The electrical connection of the actuator consists of an external plug-in socket system, which does not require the cover to be opened for the supply cable to be connected. This solution is particularly useful if the actuator needs to be replaced. An efficient rubber protective cover safeguards the connection system.

Actuator The actuator is a three-point type so it can easily be combined with the most widely used temperature regulators, both outside conpensated and modulating. The actuator is moreover equipped with an auxiliary microswitch that can be used to shut down the boiler or the chiller unit when the valve is closed. The microswitch contacts are closed when the valve is approximately 20% open. The actuator can be fitted on the valve body in the two shown positions. Fastening is done with a stainless steel clip.

Differential by-pass The differential by-pass valve is used to control the total head of water in the secondary supply circuit. When the set differential pressure value is reached, the obturator opens and allows fluid to pass from the supply to the return circuit, keeping the pressure differential at the set value. If the individual circuits are shut off by automatic two-way on/off, modulating or thermostatic valves, the valve prevents pump over-heating and excessive fluid velocity.

Legionella-danger of scalding In systems producing hot water with storage, in order to avoid the growth of the dangerous bacterium known as Legionella, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60 C. At this temperature it is certain that the bacterium growth will be totally eliminated. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. As shown in the diagram provided, temperatures of more than 50C can cause scalds very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burning will occur in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burning will occur in approximately 5 seconds. On average, these times can be halved for children and elderly people. Therefore, it is necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve able to: - reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value lower than that of the storage and make it suitable for sanitary use. - maintain the temperature constant despite any variation of the incoming pressure and temperature. - prevent the water temperature at the outlet from reaching values above 50C. - have an anti-scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply.

Temperature
To be more certain that there is no growth of Legionella, all sections of the network must be subjected to thermal disinfection. Even in the section downstream of the mixing valve, as far as the user tap, it must be possible to flush the system at temperatures exceeding 60C. This means by-passing the thermostatic mixing valve, which is set at lower values, and activating another valve that allows the taps to be fed directly with the hot water arriving from the distribution network. Reference documents With regard to the prevention and control of Legionella, see the National Regulations and applicable Code of Practice. Applications The temperature control and thermal disinfection unit is typically used in systems serving hospitals, nursing homes, sports and shopping centres, hotels, campsites and colleges. In these structures with their collective use, it is more than ever necessary to control and prevent legionnaires disease in a programmed manner, allowing thermal disinfection to be carried out right up to the user tap if necessary. Thermal disinfection The drawing alongside shows the behaviour of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria as the conditions vary in the temperature of the water containing the bacteria. To ensure correct thermal disinfection, it is necessary to go up to values of no less than 60C.

Thermal disinfection The temperatures and corresponding disinfection times for the network must be chosen according to the type of system and the related intended use. According to the requirements of the most advanced world legislation on this matter, the following criteria can generally be followed: T = 70C for 10 minutes T = 65C for 15 minutes T = 60C for 30 minutes After turning the flushing valve control switch on (approx. 210 s), the user taps must be opened to carry out thermal disinfection using the hot water from the distribution network. The tap opening times and their disinfection frequency will depend on how the system is run and on applicable regulations.

HOT

During thermal disinfection flushing, the high temperature hot water heats the monoblock body of the multifunction unit completely. In this way, even the body of the mixing valve itself is entirely disinfected, making sure that there are no areas that remain at lower temperatures, where there would be a risk of Legionella formation.

HOT COLD

In a traditional system, comprising a mixing valve and a flushing valve connected by pipes, this risk may still exist. Part of the mixing valve, as it is always in contact with the cold water, remains at a temperature that does not give the certainty of complete disinfection of all its parts.

COLD

Operating principle Mixing valve The thermostatic mixing valve mixes the hot and cold water at the inlet so as to maintain the mixed water at a constant set temperature at the outlet. A thermostatic element (1) is fully immersed in the mixed water pipe. It contracts or expands, moving an obturator which controls the passage of hot or cold water at the inlet. If there are changes in inlet temperature or pressure, the internal element reacts automatically to restore the set temperature at the outlet. Flushing valve The flushing valve, which can be activated manually or automatically using a thermo-electric actuator, allows the hot water to pass directly to the unit outlet. Using the control stem with double obturator (2), it opens the by-pass on the hot water inlet to the mixing valve and, at the same time, shuts the cold water inlet off. This prevents any mixing of hot and cold water during the flushing operation, with the taps open, as this would reduce the temperature of the water sent to perform thermal disinfection.

Construction details Monoblock unit The valve body, containing the thermal regulating and by-pass components, is made out of a single casting with connections to the hot water inlet, the cold water inlet and the mixed water outlet. A specific internal channel carries the hot water to the mixing valve inlet and to the flushing valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easily connectable. Anti-scale materials The materials used in constructing the mixing valve eliminate seizing due to limescale deposits. All functional parts were made using a special anti-scale material with low friction coefficient, which ensures performances over time. Anti-scald safety function As a safety measure, in case of failure of cold water supply, the valve immediately shuts off the flow of hot water. This prevents dangerous burns. This performance is guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference between the inlet hot water and the outlet mixed water of 15C (performance in compliance with French standard NF 079 Doc. 8). In case of failure of hot water supply as well, the valve shuts off the cold water passage and therefore mixed water to prevent dangerous thermal shocks. Control stem The flushing valve control stem (3) is made of stainless steel with a double O-ring seal in EPDM. In this way the upper portion of the headwork can be replaced even with the system running. Shut-off valves The hot and cold water inlet shut-off valves are fitted with stainless steel strainers (4) with EPDM seals and check valves (5).

Use According to its flow characteristics, the unit with thermostatic mixing valve can be used for application with a limited number of users, for example a bathroom. For this reason, the flow rate passing through the valve is generally the same as through the final user, for example the tap of a basin, shower, bidet, etc. To ensure stable operation, a minimum flow rate of 6 l/min must be guaranteed to the mixing valve. The system must always be dimensioned taking into account the current legislation on the nominal flow rate to each user. Public buildings, hospitals, kindergartens In this type of application, the risk of scalding is extremly high because of the nature of the hot water users, who include children, old people, sick people. In these installations, the two supply networks providing hot water from the storage and cold water may have different origins and operate at different pressures. In case of failure of cold water supply, the mixing valve is able to shut off the supply of mixed water to prevent possible burns. Head loss check in the mixing valve If the design flow rate is known, taking into account simultaneous use of the sanitary appliances, the head loss produced by the mixing valve is checked using the graph provided. It is necessary to verify the available pressure, the head loss in the system downstream of the mixing valve and the residual pressure to be guaranteed to user appliances. Installation Before installing the unit with the mixing valve, the pipes must be washed out to ensure that no impurities in circulation will impair its performance. We recommend always installing suitable strainers at the inlet of the water system. The mixing valve unit is fitted with shut-off valves with strainers at the hot and cold water inlets. The mixing valve unit must be installed according to the diagram provided within the instruction sheet or in this brochure. The unit can be installed in any position, vertical or horizontal. The following marks are indicated on the unit body: hot water inlet, indicated by the word Hot cold water inlet, indicated by the word Cold mixed water outlet, indicated by the word MIX. Check valves In systems with thermostatic mixing valves, check valves shall be installed to prevent undesired backflows. The mixing valve unit is fitted with check valves, incorporated in the shut-off valves at the hot and cold water inlets.

Thermal transient During transient, due to rapid changes in pressure, temperature or flow rate, the temperature increases with respect to the initial set point and this increase must be of limited duration to guarantee safety.

Commissioning According to the special purpose of the thermostatic mixing valve, it must be commissioned in accordance to the current regulations by qualified personnel using appropriate temperature measurement equipment. We recommend using a digital thermometer for measuring the temperature of the mixed water.

Box The box is supplied with guards to be positioned on the sides where no pipes pass, to ensure that no mortar falls inside the box itself when it is fitted, dirtying the components. This guard is supplied so that it can be fitted both on the shorter and on the longer side, according to the position in which the box is fitted, horizontal or vertical. The cover allows recovery of 30 mm depth, caused by possible errors in wall finishing.

The particular shape of the ventilation holes in the cover give the air flowing out a speed and direction that ensure it will flow away from the cover itself quickly. This prevents the formation of unaesthetic stains on the wall.

Function The charging unit assembly is composed of a shut-off valve with an inspectable strainer, a BA type controllable reduced pressure zone backflow preventer and a pre-adjustable filling unit. It is installed on the water inlet pipe in sealed heating systems and its main function is to maintain the pressure of the system stable at a set value, providing automatically a re-fill of the missing water. This product has the peculiarity of being pre-adjustable. That means it can be adjusted at a desired pressure value before the system filling stage. The backflow preventer is inserted to prevent the contaminated water of the closed heating circuit from flowing back into the domestic water supply network, in compliance with EN 1717 standard prescriptions. The device is proposed complete with pre-formed shell insulation and with a compact dimension design to make its hydraulic installation easier.

Shut-off valve and inspectable strainer upstream The shut-off valve upstream (2) of the assembly, together with the cock (5), makes it possible to shut off the backflow preventer for cleaning, checking and, if necessary, replacing internal components. The purpose of the inspectable strainer (1) located upstream is to protect the backflow preventer from any impurities of the supply network that could 1 2 jeopardize its operation.

Insulation The assembly is supplied complete with insulation, sized to limit thermal losses and to prevent condensation forming on the surface.

Compact assembly The assembly is designed compact and with reduced overall dimensions in order to make hydraulic installation easier, above all if space is limited. This condition is typical of small and medium-size systems this product is designed for.

BA type controllable backflow preventer with reduced pressure zones Corrosion-proof materials The materials used to manufacture the backflow preventers must be insensitive to corrosion caused by the contact with drinking water. This is why they are made using dezincification-resistant alloy and stainless steel, as they are a guarantee to keep best performance over time. Simplified maintenance When needed, any disassembly and maintenance work is easier to perform thanks to the use of components easy to verify and replace without having to disassemble the valve body from the pipe.

2. The special mechanical preregulation system with pressure indicator allows the assembly to be set to the desired system value before the charging stage starts. 3. The valve is normally set to a pressure no lower than the value obtained by adding the hydrostatic pressure and 0,3 bar. 4. During the charging stage, the internal mechanism will automatically adjust the pressure by closing the supply when the set value is reached, without having to watch the lengthy filling operation. 5. In view of the preregulation function, a pressure gauge downstream of the equipment is not crucial. 6. Once the system is filled, the shut-off valve of the assembly can be closed. To reinstate the automatic charging conditions, the valve just has to be re-opened. The system pressure value will gradually go back to the set value. Use of backflow preventer according to European standards To avoid backflows of water from the heating system, which is potentially polluted and dangerous for human health, it is indispensable to install a preassembled charging unit with a backflow preventer. The correct use of hydraulic backflow preventers is governed by the European reference standard EN 1717: 2000 Protection

Inspection and maintenance Charging unit assembly For the periodical cleaning, control or replacement of the whole cartridge you must: 1) Shut off the valve with the valve upstream and by using a valve downstream. 2) Open the bottom handle. 3) Fully undo the setting screw. 4) Remove the upper cap. 5) Take out the cartridge with some pliers. 6) After inspection and eventual cleaning of the body, the whole unit can be reassembled or replaced by a spare cartridge. 7) Reset the unit.

Function In certain sanitary hot water distribution systems, for example hospitals, nursing homes, schools, sport centres etc., it is necessary to protect vulnerable people from a risk of scalding with hot water. This particular series of thermostatic mixing valves has been specifically designed for this type of application, for installation just upstream of the basin tap. The mixing valves automatically maintain the mixed water temperature constant, despite any variation in inlet pressure or temperature or the actual flow rate drawn at the tap. A special by-pass mechanism is used on the 602 series unit to thermally disinfect the circuit all the way to the tap, in compliance with anti-Legionella regulations.

Legionella - scalding risk In systems that produce hot water for sanitary purposes with storage, in order to prevent the growth of dangerous Legionella bacteria, the hot water must be stored at a temperature of at least 60C. At this temperature it is certain that the growth of the bacteria will be totally inhibited. At this temperature, however, the water cannot be used directly. As shown in the diagram opposite, temperatures of more than 50C can cause burns very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burn will occur in approximately 30 seconds, while at 60C partial burn will occur in approximately 5 seconds. This time may be reduced by 50% for children and elderly people. In view of the above, it is necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve which can: - reduce the temperature at the point of use to a value lower than that of the storage and make it suitable for sanitary use. - maintain the temperature constant while the incoming pressure and temperature conditions vary. - prevent the water temperature at the outlet from reaching values above 50C. - have an anti-scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply. Thermal disinfection The drawing alongside shows the behaviour of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria as the conditions vary in the temperature of the water containing the bacteria. To ensure correct thermal disinfection, it is necessary to go up to values of no less than 60C.

Operating principle The thermostatic mixing valve mixes the hot and cold water at the inlet so as to maintain constant the adjusted mixed water temperature at the outlet. A thermostatic element is fully immersed in the mixed water port. It contracts or expands, moving an obturator which controls the passage of the hot or cold water at the inlet. If there are changes in inlet temperature or pressure, the internal element reacts automatically to restore the adjusted temperature at the outlet.

COLD

MIXED
Thermal disinfection - By-pass function 602 series mixing valves are equipped with a by-pass device which allows to reach the delivery tap with the thermal disinfection, as required by established legislation. The by-pass provides total disinfection of the system and the mixing valve itself, without the need for disassembly.

Anti-scald safety function In case of hot or cold water supply failure at the inlet, the obturator closes the water port, thus shutting off the mixed water outlet. This function is only guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference of 10C between the hot water at the inlet and the mixed water at the outlet.

Installation Before installing the mixing valve, the connecting pipes should be flushed to remove any impurities that could impair the performance. We recommend to install always strainers of adequate performance at the water inlet from the hydraulic network. 601-602 series mixing valves are equipped with strainers at the hot and cold water inlets. 601-602 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed in any position, horizontally or vertically. The hot and cold water supplies must be connected as shown on the valve body (red dot for hot water - blue dot for cold water - the mixed water output is not marked).

High temperature and solar systems In solar thermal systems with natural circulation in the primary circuit and a water storage with heating jacket, the temperature of the domestic water in the storage can vary considerably depending on the degree of solar radiation and can reach very high temperatures over long periods. In summer, and if there is little water usage, the hot water at the storage outlet can actually reach temperatures around 98C before the temperature and pressure safety relief valves are actuated. At these temperatures, the hot water cannot be used directly, because of the danger of scalding for users. Water temperatures over 50C can cause burns very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burn occurs in about 30 seconds, whereas at 60C partial burn occurs in about 5 seconds. It is therefore necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve able to: - reduce the temperature of the water distributed throughout the domestic water system to a value lower than that in the storage and suitable for the end user. For reasons of safety, it is recommended to set the temperature of the mixed water distributed to the users to values no higher than 50C; - keep mixed water temperature constant despite variations in inlet temperature and pressure; - continue functioning over time without any loss in performance and without problems due to the continuously high temperature of the incoming water; - enable the high temperature water in the storage to last longer, by distributing it to the user circuit at a reduced temperature; - have an anti-scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply.

Integration with boiler Solar domestic water storages are normally installed in conjunction with boilers or water heaters. In this way, boilers or water heaters can be switched on to produce domestic hot water when solar radiation is insufficient, therefore the thermal energy available within the storage is low. The following actions are necessary to control this type of system automatically and ensure the correct distribution of domestic hot water: - install a motorised diverter valve between the solar water circuit and the boiler or water heater; - install a thermostat with a temperature probe positioned in the solar water circuit, to operate the diverter valve depending on the water temperature; - switch the boiler or water heater on if the temperature of the solar hot water is insufficient; - connect the solar hot water circuit to the boiler or water heater according to the functioning mode of the boiler or water heater, which can be instant modulating, non modulating, or equipped with its own storage.

Construction details Mixing valve High resistance to temperature Internal control components are designed to maintain constant the mixing valve performance with inlet hot water temperatures up to 100C, in continuous operation. Anti-scale materials The materials used in constructing the mixing valve were selected to eliminate seizing due to limescale deposits. All functional parts have been made using a special anti-scale material with low friction coefficient, which ensures over time performance. Anti-scald safety function As a safety measure, in case of failure of the cold water supply, the valve immediately shuts off the flow of the hot water. This prevents dangerous burns. This performance is guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference between the inlet hot water and the outlet mixed water of 10C. Also in case of failure of the hot water supply, the valve shuts off the cold water port and thus the outlet mixed water to prevent dangerous thermal shocks.

Actuator Drive transmission A taper coupling allows a constant connection between the valve control stem (A) and the output shaft of the gear actuator (B). This provides automatic compensation for the mechanical slack thanks to the thrust (C) of the fluid pressure on the control stem. Valve-actuator coupling An elastic steel fastener (D) allows the valve to be coupled to the actuator quickly and easily, by a simple clutch operation with automatic locking.

Diverter valve Directions of flow and position indicator Removing the actuator reveals a slot at the top of the control stem on which the shaft of the actuator acts: - this slot allows the valve to be opened and closed manually with a screwdriver; - the slot position allows to understand the flow direction depending on the ball position. This is extremely useful for system commissioning and checking. Two diagrams follow here regarding the two valves types. As visible, the slot position shows the flow direction. 264 series

Valves are initially delivered with the slot vertical.

Diverter-mixing valve coupling The diverter-mixing valve coupling on the Solarnocal and Solarincal solar storage-to-boiler connection kits allows the mixing valve to rotate through 360 to satisfy all the possible installation needs. The kit comes complete with a special pre-formed protective cover.

Application Solar storage-to-boiler connection kits are generally installed near the boiler, at the outlet from the solar hot water storage, to ensure a constant temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user. Given their flow characteristics, thermostatic mixing valves can be installed to control water temperature both for single user points (e.g. washbasins, bidets, showers) and for multiple users. To ensure that the mixed water is supplied at the set temperature, a minimum flow rate of 4 l/min must be ensured to the mixing valves. Checking the head loss in the kit If the design flow rate is known and taking into account the simultaneous use of sanitary appliances, the head loss produced by the kit can be checked using the diagram. It is necessary to check the available pressure, the head loss in the system downstream of the kit and the residual pressure to be guaranteed to user devices. Installation Before installing the kits, the pipework must be flushed to ensure that no circulating impurities can compromise their operation. It is recommended to install always strainers of adequate performance at the water inlet from the hydraulic network. The kits must be fitted according to the installation diagram provided in the instruction manual or in this brochure. The kits can be installed in any position, vertically or horizontally. They cannot, however, be installed with the actuator of the diverter valve upside down.

The kit with mixing valve incorporates check valves on the hot and cold water inlets. Commissioning In view of the special applications for which the thermostatic mixing valve is used, it must be commissioned according to current regulations, by qualified technicians equipped with suitable temperature measurement instruments. We recommend using a digital thermometer for measuring the mixed water temperature. Temperature adjustment The temperature is set to the desired value by means of the control knob on the thermostatic mixing valve.

Set temperature adjustment / Electrical connections The thermostat is adjusted in the factory to operate at a temperature of 45C, thus diverting the water to the boiler if the temperature falls below this set value. If necessary, the thermostat trip value can be adjusted between 35 and 50C, by turning the trimmer to suit the needs of the system and boiler. In 264 series kit its possible to set the temperature to a value between 50 and 70C, above which the valve is again deviated to the solar water circuit. In this way, the diverter valve only operates when the solar water storage is full of enough thermal energy, avoiding excessive variations in the temperature of the distributed hot water caused by the action of the diverter valve.

Function The solar storage-to-boiler connection kits automatically control and optimise the thermal energy contained in the solar water storage, ensuring that domestic hot water is distributed throughout the system at a controlled optimum temperature. They ensure that users always receive hot water at the set temperature and switch the boiler on if the temperature of the water coming from the solar storage falls below the set point. The kits are available in two versions, to be coupled with various boiler kinds, with storage or istantaneous. Depending on the version, they are supplied complete with thermostatic diverter valve, special thermostatic control device designed to prevent boiler hunting and anti-scald thermostatic mixing valve. These compact kits are designed for quick and easy installation in both new and existing systems. They come complete with a pre-formed shell protective cover. Patent application No. MI2008A001813.

High temperature and solar systems In solar thermal systems with natural circulation in the primary circuit and a water storage with heating jacket, the temperature of the domestic water in the storage can vary considerably depending on the degree of solar radiation and can reach very high temperatures over long periods. In summer, and if there is little water usage, the hot water at the storage outlet can actually reach temperatures around 98C before the temperature and pressure safety relief valves are actuated. At these temperatures, the hot water cannot be used directly, because of the danger of scalding for users. Water temperatures over 50C can cause burns very quickly. For example, at 55C, partial burn occurs in about 30 seconds, whereas at 60C partial burn occurs in about 5 seconds. It is therefore necessary to use a thermostatic mixing valve able to: - reduce the temperature of the water distributed throughout the domestic water system to a value lower than that in the storage and suitable for the end user. For reasons of safety, it is recommended to set the temperature of the mixed water distributed to the users to values no higher than 50C; - keep mixed water temperature constant despite variations in inlet temperature and pressure; - continue functioning over time without any loss in performance and without problems due to the continuously high temperature of the incoming water; - enable the high temperature water in the storage to last longer, by distributing it to the user circuit at a reduced temperature; - have an anti-scald safety function in case of failure of the cold water supply.

Integration with boiler Solar domestic water storages are normally installed in conjunction with boilers or water heaters. In this way, boilers or water heaters can be switched on to produce domestic hot water when solar radiation is insufficient, therefore the thermal energy available within the storage is low. The following actions are necessary to control this type of system automatically and ensure the correct distribution of domestic hot water: - install a suitable thermostatic diverter valve between the solar circuit and the boiler or water heater, to divert hot water automatically in accordance with its temperature; - switch the boiler or water heater on if the temperature of the solar hot water is insufficient; - connect the solar hot water circuit to the boiler or water heater according to the functioning mode of the boiler or water heater, which can be instant modulating or equipped with its own storage.

Characteristic components 1) Thermostatic diverter valve 2) Anti-scald thermostatic mixing valve Inlet from boiler Operating principle A thermostatic diverter valve, at the kit inlet, receives hot water coming from the solar water storage. Depending on the temperature set (factory set: 45C), the valve diverts the water automatically and in a proportional manner towards the user circuit or the boiler with storage circuit, with thermal integration. The valve modulates the flow rates to optimise the energy contained in the solar storage and reduce boiler operation times to a minimum. A thermostatic anti-scald mixing valve, at the kit outlet, constantly controls the water temperature sent to the user.

Construction details Operational flexibility The kits are made using a single casting, so as to minimise their overall size and make installation easier. They are supplied complete with components used for control and operation, designed for direct connection to the circuit without sections of piping having to be fitted between the various devices. High resistance to temperature The internal control components of the diverter valve and the mixing valve are designed to maintain constant performance with inlet hot water temperatures up to 100C, in continuous operation. Anti-scale materials The materials used when constructing the kit were selected to eliminate seizing due to limescale deposits. All functional parts have been made using a special anti-scale material with low friction coefficient, which ensures over time performance. Diverter valve The thermostatic diverter valve at the kit inlet features a built-in sensor, which is immersed directly in the flow of hot water coming from the solar storage. Through the action of the thermostat controlling obturator movement, the flow rate is adjusted proportionally and automatically, without the need for external energy sources. This means there is no need for other temperature probes in the circuit and electrical wiring procedures. T > 45C

Control device

Anti-scald safety function As a safety measure, in case of failure of the cold water supply, the valve immediately shuts off the flow of the hot water. This prevents dangerous burns. This performance is guaranteed if there is a minimum temperature difference between the inlet hot water and the outlet mixed water of 10C. Also in case of failure of the hot water supply, the valve shuts off the cold water port and thus the outlet mixed water to prevent dangerous thermal shocks.

Thermostatic control device If used in conjunction with instantaneous boilers, the water temperature at the boiler inlet may reach certain values (T>35C) which prevent the boiler from modulating enough the thermal power transferred to the medium. Low flow rates may lead to the boiler being switched on and off too often, with consequent hunting that prevents the boiler from operating efficiently. The thermostatic control device in the 263 series limits the occurrence of this phenomenon, as it keeps the water temperature at the boiler inlet at a constant low value (T=30C) by mixing the solar hot water coming from the diverter valve with the cold water at the inlet. This means the boiler always operates with a suitable thermaldifference between the inlet and the outlet, resulting in optimal management of the energy produced. Thermostatic mixing valve A special anti-scald thermostatic mixing valve offering high thermal performance is positioned at the kit outlet in order to control the temperature and protect the user. The mixing valve keeps the temperature of the hot water at the kit outlet, supplied to the user, at a constant level, even in the event of variations in temperature and pressure at the inlet or flow rate requested.

Thermal transient During transient, following rapid changes in pressure, temperature or flow rate, the outlet mixed water temperature increases with respect to the initial set point and this increase must be of limited duration to guarantee safety. The anti-scald mixing valve always ensures that these conditions are respected.

Diverter-mixing valve coupling The diverter-mixing valve coupling on the Solarincal T storage-toboiler thermostatic connection kit allows the mixing valve to rotate through 360 to satisfy all the possible installation needs. The kit comes complete with a special pre-formed protective cover.

Application Solar storage-to-boiler connection kits are generally installed near the boiler, on the pipe of the hot water coming from the solar storage, to ensure a constant temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user. Given their flow rate characteristics, thermostatic kits can be installed to control water temperature both for single user points (e.g. washbasins, bidets, showers) and for multiple users. To ensure that the mixed water is supplied at the set temperature, a minimum flow rate of 4 l/min must be ensured to the kits with thermostatic mixing valves. Checking the head loss in the kit If the design flow rate is known and taking into account the simultaneous use of sanitary appliances, the head loss produced by the kit can be checked using the diagram. It is necessary to check the available pressure, the head loss in the system downstream of the kit and the residual pressure to be guaranteed to user devices. Installation Before installing the kits, the pipework must be flushed to ensure that no circulating impurities can compromise their operation. It is recommended to install always strainers of adequate performance at the water inlet from the hydraulic network. The kits must be fitted according to the installation diagram provided in the instruction manual or in this brochure. The kits can be installed in any position, vertically or horizontally.

Operating principle The thermostatic mixing valve mixes the hot and cold water at the inlet so as to maintain the mixed water at a constant set temperature at the outlet. A thermostatic element is fully immersed in the mixed water outlet passage. It contracts or expands, moving an obturator which controls the passage of hot or cold water at the inlet. If there are changes in the inlet temperature or pressure, the internal element automatically reacts to restore the set temperature at the outlet.

Use In view of their flow characteristics, the 2527 series thermostatic mixing valves can be installed to control the temperature for individual user fittings (for example wash basin, bidet, shower) or multiple user fittings. To ensure stable operation, the mixing valve must be guaranteed a minimum flow rate of 4 l/min. The system must always be sized in accordance with current legislation regarding the nominal flow rate to each user fitting.

Selecting the mixing valve size If the design flow rate is known, taking into account simultaneous use of the sanitary appliances, the size of the mixing valve is chosen by checking on the graph provided the head loss produced. In this case, it is necessary to check the available pressure, the head loss in the system downstream of the mixing valve and the residual pressure to be guaranteed to the user appliances. Thermal transient During transient, following rapid changes in pressure, temperature or flow rate, the outlet mixed water temperature increases with respect to the initial set point and this increase must be of limited duration to guarantee safety. The anti-scald mixing valve always ensures that these conditions are respected.

Installation Before installing the mixing valve, the pipework must be flushed to ensure that no circulating impurities can compromise its operation. It is recommended to install always strainers of adequate performance at the water inlet from the hydraulic network.

Circuit balancing
Modern heating and air-conditioning systems have to guarantee a high level of thermal comfort with a low energy consumption. This means supplying the system terminals with the correct design flow rates, to produce balanced hydraulic circuits.

Unbalanced circuits
In case of an unbalanced circuit, the hydraulic umbalance between emitters creates areas with temperatures which are not uniform, and, as a consequence, problems with thermal comfort and higher energy consumption.

AUTOFLOW devices
Function The AUTOFLOW device has to guarantee a constant flow rate when its upstream/downstream pressure differential varies. It is therefore necessary to refer to the p - flow rate diagram and to a basic diagram illustrating the operation methods and the relevant variable effects. Operating principle The regulating element of these devices is composed of a cilinder and a piston with side fixed and variable geometry orifices, through which the fluid flows. These orifices are governed by the piston movement, pushed by the medium thrust. A specially calibrated spring counteracts this movement. Autoflows are high performance automatic regulators. They regulate selected flow rates within a very tight tolerance (approx. 10%) and offer a wide range of operation.

Below the control range


In this case, the regulating piston remains in equilibrium without compressing the spring and gives the fluid the maximum free flow area. In practice, the piston acts as a fixed regulator and thus the flow rate through the AUTOFLOW depends solely on the differential pressure.

Within the control range


If the differential pressure is contained within the control range, the piston compresses the spring and gives the medium a free flow area to permit regular flow at the nominal rate for which the AUTOFLOW is set up.

In this case, the piston fully compresses the spring and leaves only the fixed geometry aperture for the medium to pass through. As in the first case above, the piston acts as a fixed regulator. The flow rate through the AUTOFLOW thus depends solely on the differential pressure.

Construction details New polymer regulator The flow rate regulator is made entirely of high resistance polymer, specially chosen for use in air-conditioning and hydraulic systems. Its mechanical behaviour is excellent in a wide range of working temperatures, it features high resistance to the abrasion caused by continuous medium flow, it is insensitive to the deposit of scale and is fully compatible with glycols and additives used in circuits. Exclusive design With its exclusive design, the new regulator is able to accurately regulate the flow rate in a wide range of operating pressures. A special internal chamber acts as a damper for beating and vibrations triggered by the medium flow, allowing low noise operating conditions to the device. For these reasons it can be used in systems both on zone branch circuits and directly at the terminals. Cartridge removal The device is easy to remove for inspection or manual replacement of the regulator, by unscrewing the cartridge locking nut from the valve body. Compact valve body with reduced dimensions This special series of devices is also supplied with a compact, simplified valve body for easy fitting on pipes and more costefficient installations.

Sizing the circuit with AUTOFLOW


Sizing the circuit containing AUTOFLOW valves is particularly easy to accomplish. As illustrated alongside by the example diagrams, calculation of the loss of head in order to choose the pump is made by referring to the hydraulically most unfavourable circuit and by adding this value to the minimum differential pressure required by the AUTOFLOW. In the example the circuits have the same nominal flow rate. The AUTOFLOW devices, located on intermediate circuits, automatically absorb the excess differential pressure to ensure the corresponding nominal flow rate. As the regulating valves open or close, the AUTOFLOW repositions itself dynamically to maintain the nominal flow rate (50% load = circuits 3, 5, 7, 8 closed). For more detailed information on sizing a system with AUTOFLOW, please refer to the 2nd volume of the Caleffi Handbooks and the technical report Dynamic balancing of hydronic circuits. They give theoretical calculations, numerical examples and notes on the application of the above-mentioned devices in circuits.

Function The temperature regulating unit is made for use in radiant panel systems in combination with distribution manifolds. The outside compensated temperature regulating unit, complete with temperature digital regulator for heating and cooling, controls the temperature of the medium sent to the panels, with a compensation depending on the outside and inside temperature and the actual thermal load. In this particular series, the temperature is regulated by a dedicated hydraulic unit equipped with a specific motorised three-way valve. It is supplied with a removable differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit. This accessory is essential when there is a primary circuit circulation pump and the radiator circuits or fan coils are controlled by thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. In case of connection with a SEPCOLL or an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. Patent application No. MI2006A001935.

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from four probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet, probe on the panel circuit return, outside probe and room probe. It controls the valve movement. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easily to connect.

Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver.

Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load.

Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do.

Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain cock and flow temperature probe.

Primary circuit differential by-pass kit Operation The differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating or cooling elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit.

Removable kit In case of an hydraulic circuit connected to a Sepcoll or to an hydraulic separator without primary pump, the kit can be removed and the hydraulic unit is connected directly. The circuit shut-off valves, equipped with nut connection, can be removed easily and used directly on the unit.
Connection without hydraulic separator or SEPCOLL

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating or cooling elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimises the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series.

Immediate comfort function This makes it possible to change the comfort without changing the controller set parameters. The second line of the display shows the standard correction value - 0 of the characteristic curve. This value can be increased to + 5 or reduced to - 5 by turning the knob to the right or to the left respectively. Each single change corresponds to a 5% shift in the characteristic curve. Example: - flow temperature-heating start-up T = 20C - flow T at outside min. temp. = 40C corresponds to a temperature range T of 20 K (100%). - the adjustment of the correction is +1; this means that the flow temperature is raised by 1 K (5% of T), thus the flow temperature will be 41C. Immediate heating/cooling comfort function The value can be modified by 0,5 K steps instead of 1K. The curve is therefore modified by 2,5% instead of 5%.

Probes connection Dedicated raceway must be used for the connection of the flow, return and outside probes, the room probe thermostat and controller. If the connection cable shares the raceway with other power cables, shielded and earthed cable must be used. Any alteration to the wiring of the controller could result in electrical disturbance. A reset must be done (i.e. switching the controller's power supply off for a few seconds) whenever work is done on the wiring. Maximum distance between remote control and controller: 100 m, with 4-pole cable of 0,5 mm2 section.

Relative humidity probe

Relative humidity control When using the cooling regulator, it is necessary to use the specific relative humidity probe. This probe has the task of measuring the limit of relative humidity so as to prevent condensation in the cooling slab. It is set for RH = 8085%. On reaching the setting, it triggers the following operating state: pump ON, mixer closed. Humidity probe control At the start of each cooling season, the operating state of the probe must be checked by placing a moist wad of cotton wool on its surface; this will cause the mixer to close and the red LED point 8 on the panel front to light up. Positioning the humidity probe Depending on the system characteristics, the humidity probe is located where there is the greatest risk of condensation. It is placed with the carbon portion upwards, as shown in the following diagrams.

Steps for correctly positioning the max RH% limit probe. The probe is + secured to the manifold installed in the zone where you want to check that the relative humidity RH% cannot exceed the safety values. It is secured by means of the two clamps, using the specific holes. By controlling the following parameters it is possible to reach the maximum heating power delivered by the panel. - Minimum flow temperature, selectable via selector (5) on front panel. - Relative humidity RH% limit point, checked with relative humidity probe. - Ambient temperature, checked via ambient thermostat. - Temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air, checked via fan coil or dehumidifier. Caution: The RH% limit probe is used to prevent any condensation from forming. In rooms where there is cooling, there must always be suitable air treatment.

Details of functions Adjustment of flow temperature in relation to the outside temperature The calculated flow temperature depends on the quantities read by the probes: outside, flow, return probe, room probe thermostat and set curve. Mixing valve and pump blocking safety system Long shutdown periods, such as in the summer, could lead to mixing valve malfunctions or pump blocking. To avoid this, the mixing valve and pump are operated automatically for 60 seconds every day. Frost protection function - double control level First level: the pump is switched on if the outside temperature is less than 4C or the room temperature less than 5C (room probe present). It is switched off when the outside temperature exceeds 6C or the room temperature exceeds 7C. Second level: if the flow or return temperature is less than 7C, the mixing valve is opened and the pump switched on. When this temperature in the circuit is over 20C, the pump switches off and the mixing valve is closed. Probe control Outside temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than -25C or greater than +40C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed and the display will show the message < OT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. The frost protection function, flow sensor and summer blocking safety system, however, remain enabled. Flow temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than 0C or greater than 110C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed. The display will show the message < FT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. Optional probe recognition If there are no optional probes (room t. and return t.), the controller will signal their absence with -X- . When the probes are connected, the system recognises them automatically. As these are corrective probes, no alarm state is signalled in the event of a malfunction. Slab drying (for floors, wall and ceiling heating systems) The new low-temperature systems have to be heated gradually, after a period of natural drying. The automatic initial heating-drying program can be used for this. This program must be activated in Standby function. The overall duration is seven days. In the first three days, the flow temperature will be maintained at 25C. In the remaining four days, the flow temperature will be at the value set at the max. blocking temperature menu point (menu structure level 4). At the end of this procedure, the slab drying function must be switched off, otherwise the controller repeats the operation automatically. If there is a break in the electricity during the drying, the program will restart automatically from the point when the break occurred. Procedure: Level 0

Select Select Select Select Set

> Configuration > Desired mixing valve circuit > Operativity > Slab drying

CAUTION: when this procedure is set, check whether the max. blocking FT needs to be adjusted; the factory set is 55C

Comfort optimisation and set-back correction (manual or with self-learning) The room probe thermostat must be present for this operation. The optimisation makes it possible to bring forward the activation of the change from set-back correction to comfort (in this function the FT is set at the max. design specification), so as to reduce to a minimum the actual time necessary to reach the desired comfort level. This function can operate in three ways: = off; = active; A = self-learning.

Active: Since the time of the bringing forward depends on a number of different system parameters (power, outside and room temperatures, heat exchange, type of structure, etc.), a structure gradient reference coefficient must be set. Some reference values are given below. This funcion is not active in cooling mode Structure gradient reference values - Building with low heat loss: 400 - Factory configuration: 100 - Building with very high heat loss: 50 This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Self-learning: In this case the bringing forward of the activation depends on the controller. The maximum suggested self-learning period is 10 days; before the end of the 10 days it is necessary to go from operating state A = self-learning to the = active operating state. The resulting structure gradient coefficient will be entered automatically at the < constant > operating state menu point. Average outside temperature This function can be enabled when necessary. If enabled, the average outside temperature, known as OT ref., is calculated automatically and recorded every hour. It is used to determine the flow temperature value. The calculation of the average OT ref. makes it possible to attenuate the effect of sudden changes of outside temperature.

Effect of return temperature If the return temperature probe is connected, the controller uses this value as an approximate parameter of the required actual thermal load. The controller calculates the difference between the design return temperature (with an influence between 0 and 50%. Factory configuration: 0%) and the actual measured value. This difference is used to change the flow temperature. For example, if the thermal load is less than the design value, there will be a final T between flow and return that is lower than the design value. In this case the characteristic curve will be lowered. If the actual thermal load is greater, then the characteristic curve will be raised. This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Effect of room probe thermostat If a room probe thermostat is connected, the actual room temperature will be read. The user can set the desired comfort room temperature on the thermostat. In the set-back correction function, this value is automatically reduced by 2 K. During the Manual forcing to Tmax function, the effect of the room probe thermostat on the controller is not active. Depending on the temperature difference between the actual measured value and the set value, the characteristic curve is moved to the right or left.

Work states
Standby In this state, the controller remains inactive, keeping the mixing valve closed and the pump off. The mixing valve and pump frost protection and anti-blocking function remain active. Comfort During the comfort function, the flow temperature is adjusted according to the measured outside temperature, following the set characteristic curve. This curve is automatically corrected if a room probe thermostat or a return probe are present. Set-back correction During the set-back correction function, the nominal flow temperature is lowered, by means of a parallel downward shifting of the characteristic curve. This shifting is settable with a parameter of between 0 and -50%. This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Maximum temperature This function guarantees heating to the maximum set temperature. This value, Tmax, can be set from 25C to 90C.

Function The temperature regulating unit with the distribution kit for the primary circuit is made to be used in mixed systems: radiant panels and radiators or fancoils, in combination with distribution manifolds for radiant panels. The outside compensated temperature regulating unit, complete with temperature digital regulator for heating and cooling, operates on the temperature of the medium, supplied to the panels, with a compensation depending on the outside and indoor temperature and the actual thermal load. In this particular series, the temperature is regulated by a specific hydraulic unit equipped with a motorised three-way valve. The function of the kit is to distribute a portion of the medium flowing from the primary boiler/chiller circuit to the heating or cooling elements. It is supplied with manifolds with built-in shut-off and balancing valves and a differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit. This accessory is essential when there is a primary circuit circulation pump and the radiator or fan coil circuits are controlled by thermostatic or thermo-electric valves.

Operating principle The medium temperature is regulated by a three-way mixing valve with a sector obturator comprehensive of an actuator managed by a specific digital controller. The controller receives the signal from four probes, flow probe on the mixing valve outlet, probe on the panel circuit return, outside probe and room probe. It controls the valve movement. The flow in the valve is regulated by a shaped obturator (1) that, by turning, closes or opens the hot water flow ports (2) and the water returning ports from the circuit (3) to adjust the desired flow temperature. Even if the secondary circuit thermal load or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the optimal flow temperature.

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the thermal regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easily to connect.

Manual opening By removing the actuator, the valve can be opened-closed manually by using a screwdriver.

Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator acting on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control, with no swinging due to sudden changes in thermal load.

Electrical connections The actuator is electrically connected through an external plug-socket system with a protective rubber cap. This system does not require opening the lid to connect the cables. In this way, replacing the actuator (should this ever be necessary) is particularly easy to do.

Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat, temperature gauge, pressure gauge, drain cock and flow temperature probe.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operation The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow supplied to the heating or cooling elements connected before the outlet to the panel circuit regulating unit. It is composed of distribution manifolds with built-in regulating and shut-off valves and the differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow rate regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric actuators. p (mm w.g.)

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids the flow circulation towards the heating or cooling elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Immediate comfort function This makes it possible to change the comfort without changing the controller set parameters. The second line of the display shows the standard correction value - 0 of the characteristic curve. This value can be increased to + 5 or reduced to - 5 by turning the knob to the right or to the left respectively. Each single change corresponds to a 5% shift in the characteristic curve. Example: - flow temperature-heating start-up T = 20C - flow T at outside min. temp. = 40C corresponds to a temperature range T of 20 K (100%). - the adjustment of the correction is +1; this means that the flow temperature is raised by 1 K (5% of T), thus the flow temperature will be 41C. Immediate heating/cooling comfort function The value can be modified by 0,5 K steps instead of 1K. The curve is therefore modified by 2,5% instead of 5%.

Relative humidity probe

Relative humidity control When using the cooling regulator, it is necessary to use the specific relative humidity probe. This probe has the task of measuring the limit of relative humidity so as to prevent condensation in the cooling slab. It is set for RH = 8085%. On reaching the setting, it triggers the following operating state: pump ON, mixer closed. Humidity probe control At the start of each cooling season, the operating state of the probe must be checked by placing a moist wad of cotton wool on its surface; this will cause the mixer to close and the red LED point 8 on the panel front to light up. Positioning the humidity probe Depending on the system characteristics, the humidity probe is located where there is the greatest risk of condensation. It is placed with the carbon portion upwards, as shown in the following diagrams.

Steps for correctly positioning the max RH% limit probe. The probe is + secured to the manifold installed in the zone where you want to check that the relative humidity RH% cannot exceed the safety values. It is secured by means of the two clamps, using the specific holes. By controlling the following parameters it is possible to reach the maximum heating power delivered by the panel. - Minimum flow temperature, selectable via selector (5) on front panel. - Relative humidity RH% limit point, checked with relative humidity probe. - Ambient temperature, checked via ambient thermostat. - Temperature and relative humidity of the ambient air, checked via fan coil or dehumidifier. Caution: The RH% limit probe is used to prevent any condensation from forming. In rooms where there is cooling, there must always be suitable air treatment.

Details of functions Adjustment of flow temperature in relation to the outside temperature The calculated flow temperature depends on the quantities read by the probes: outside, flow, return probe, room probe thermostat and set curve. Mixing valve and pump blocking safety system Long shutdown periods, such as in the summer, could lead to mixing valve malfunctions or pump blocking. To avoid this, the mixing valve and pump are operated automatically for 60 seconds every day. Frost protection function - double control level First level: the pump is switched on if the outside temperature is less than 4C or the room temperature less than 5C (room probe present). It is switched off when the outside temperature exceeds 6C or the room temperature exceeds 7C. Second level: if the flow or return temperature is less than 7C, the mixing valve is opened and the pump switched on. When this temperature in the circuit is over 20C, the pump switches off and the mixing valve is closed. Probe control Outside temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than -25C or greater than +40C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed and the display will show the message < OT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. The frost protection function, flow sensor and summer blocking safety system, however, remain enabled. Flow temperature probe error When the measured temperature range is less than 0C or greater than 110C, the following state automatically comes into operation: pump off, mixing valve closed. The display will show the message < FT probe malfunction > and the red LED will flash. Optional probe recognition If there are no optional probes (room t. and return t.), the controller will signal their absence with -X- . When the probes are connected, the system recognises them automatically. As these are corrective probes, no alarm state is signalled in the event of a malfunction. Slab drying (for floors, wall and ceiling heating systems) The new low-temperature systems have to be heated gradually, after a period of natural drying. The automatic initial heating-drying program can be used for this. This program must be activated in Standby function. The overall duration is seven days. In the first three days, the flow temperature will be maintained at 25C. In the remaining four days, the flow temperature will be at the value set at the max. blocking temperature menu point (menu structure level 4). At the end of this procedure, the slab drying function must be switched off, otherwise the controller repeats the operation automatically. If there is a break in the electricity during the drying, the program will restart automatically from the point when the break occurred. Procedure: Level 0

> Configuration > Desired mixing valve circuit > Operativity > Slab drying

CAUTION: when this procedure is set, check whether the max. blocking FT needs to be adjusted; the factory set is 55C

Comfort optimisation and set-back correction (manual or with self-learning) The room probe thermostat must be present for this operation. The optimisation makes it possible to bring forward the activation of the change from set-back correction to comfort (in this function the FT is set at the max. design specification), so as to reduce to a minimum the actual time necessary to reach the desired comfort level. This function can operate in three ways: = off; = active; A = self-learning.

Active: Since the time of the bringing forward depends on a number of different system parameters (power, outside and room temperatures, heat exchange, type of structure, etc.), a structure gradient reference coefficient must be set. Some reference values are given below.

Structure gradient reference values - Building with low heat loss: 400 - Factory configuration: 100 - Building with very high heat loss: 50 This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Self-learning: In this case the bringing forward of the activation depends on the controller. The maximum suggested self-learning period is 10 days; before the end of the 10 days it is necessary to go from operating state A = self-learning to the = active operating state. The resulting structure gradient coefficient will be entered automatically at the < constant > operating state menu point. Average outside temperature This function can be enabled when necessary. If enabled, the average outside temperature, known as OT ref., is calculated automatically and recorded every hour. It is used to determine the flow temperature value. The calculation of the average OT ref. makes it possible to attenuate the effect of sudden changes of outside temperature.

Effect of return temperature If the return temperature probe is connected, the controller uses this value as an approximate parameter of the required actual thermal load. The controller calculates the difference between the design return temperature (with an influence between 0 and 50%. Factory configuration: 0%) and the actual measured value. This difference is used to change the flow temperature. For example, if the thermal load is less than the design value, there will be a final T between flow and return that is lower than the design value. In this case the characteristic curve will be lowered. If the actual thermal load is greater, then the characteristic curve will be raised. This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Effect of room probe thermostat If a room probe thermostat is connected, the actual room temperature will be read. The user can set the desired comfort room temperature on the thermostat. In the set-back correction function, this value is automatically reduced by 2 K. During the Manual forcing to Tmax function, the effect of the room probe thermostat on the controller is not active. Depending on the temperature difference between the actual measured value and the set value, the characteristic curve is moved to the right or left.

Work states
Standby In this state, the controller remains inactive, keeping the mixing valve closed and the pump off. The mixing valve and pump frost protection and anti-blocking function remain active. Comfort During the comfort function, the flow temperature is adjusted according to the measured outside temperature, following the set characteristic curve. This curve is automatically corrected if a room probe thermostat or a return probe are present. Set-back correction During the set-back correction function, the nominal flow temperature is lowered, by means of a parallel downward shifting of the characteristic curve. This shifting is settable with a parameter of between 0 and -50%. This funcion is not active in cooling mode. Maximum temperature This function guarantees heating to the maximum set temperature. This value, Tmax, can be set from 25C to 90C. Standard indication and change of nominal value On the display there is: day of week, date, time, curve correction, work state, room temperature.

Operating principle Caleffi 610 and 612 series valves, butterfly and segment type respectively, are three-way devices while Caleffi 611 series are four-way butterfly devices. 610 and 612 series valves may be used as mixing or as diverter valves, while 611 series valves may only be used for mixing purposes. The three-way mixing valve simultaneously controls the medium in the primary circuit and the system return medium. In particular, the two mediums are mixed directly inside the valve. The four-way mixing valve also simultaneously controls the medium in the primary circuit and the system return medium. The two mediums are mixed directly inside the valve body, so as to enable double circulation on both the primary and secondary circuits. In this application, the mixing valve also carries out hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits.

Modifying the inlet position: customised installation 610, 611 and 612 series valves may be used with customised ports: 1) for 610 and 611 series devices, the inlet port for the hot water supplied by the boiler (identified with the label A ) may be swapped with the system return cold water inlet, positioned in line. The mixed water outlet remains the same in both configurations, i.e. positioned at 90 underneath the graduated plate. 2) for 612 series devices, the inlet port for the hot water supplied by the boiler (identified with the label A ) may be swapped with the outlet of the mixed water supplied to the system, positioned in line. The system return cold water inlet remains the same in both configurations, i.e. positioned at 90 on the part opposite the graduated plate. Only in the 612 series is it necessary to access the inside of the valve body, by loosening the four hexagonal screws, and rotate the rotor shaped bushing by 180. Please refer to the instruction sheet for detailed information. When customising the ports, we suggest the A label is removed and the ports identified in accordance with the new scheme, in order to make any future component maintenance procedures easier.

Operation at high temperatures The materials used for the body and internal parts and the EPDM seals ensure the Caleffi 610, 611 and 612 series mixing valves are suitable for use in heating systems with temperatures of up to 110C. Anti-friction system Inside the valves, between the mixing devices and the body, there is a sleeve in anti-friction material, which absorbs any variations in volume caused by heat-related expansion of the valve parts; it also ensures smooth rotation in all working temperature ranges. Linear characteristics Thanks to the shape of the ports allowing the medium to pass through the sleeve, the system regulation is of linear type. This is the optimal condition for guaranteeing the best possible control of variable thermal loads on the system. Motor-driven option Caleffi 610, 611 and 612 series mixing valves are supplied as manually-controlled devices, but can be motorised through the application of Caleffi actuators 6370 series.

Sizing method To find the most suitable size of Caleffi 610, 611 and 612 series mixing valve, it is necessary to know two parameters: - the flow rate of the medium passing through the mixing valve - the head loss that can be attributed to the valve. Generally, the valve is given a loss value of 515% of the head loss of the user circuit. Example Required flow rate: System piping: Head loss in the user circuit:

Using the hydraulic characteristic diagram for the 611 series valve, we enter an x-coordinate with a value of 5 m3/h and move upwards until points A and B have been identified (at the intersection with the respective head loss values). The line joining points A and B intersects the head loss curve for the 4-way 1 1/2 valve in the 611 series, which should therefore be installed in the system.
In the majority of cases, correct sizing leads to the selection of a valve with a smaller diameter than that of the piping onto which it is installed. Installation Valve installation The 610, 611 and 612 series mixing valves installed with the rotor axis horizontal may be oriented in any position, although avoiding to place the cable guiding slit towards the top. If, on the other hand, they are installed with the rotor axis vertical, the actuator must be positioned above the valve.

Function The distribution manifold is used for the control and distribution of thermal medium in heating systems. It features accuracy in controlling the flow rate to the individual circuits, shutting them off, and a reduced size. Furthermore, the reduced head losses allow it to be used as a distribution manifold for several zones, when installed directly in a central heating system. This manifold is supplied complete with special mounting brackets which, during installation, allow the centre distance of the main flow and return connections to be adjusted easily.

Construction details Flow manifold The flow manifold is equipped with outlet circuit shut-off and setting lockshield valves. In order to prevent leaks or seepage over time, the assembly seal is guaranteed by the EPDM O-Rings on the headwork (1) and on the control stem of the lockshield (2), while the O-Ring on the obturator (3) permits full closure of the outlet circuit, if necessary.

Adjustable manifold centre distances

1 2

Each bracket has a series of slots so that the manifold supports can be attached manually. This means that the entire unit can be mounted quickly and that the main centre distances of the manifold (A-A) can be adjusted depending on installation needs.

Return manifold The return manifold is equipped with manual shut-off valves (1), by means of which the flow to the single circuits can be cut off. They are moreover fitted for an electro-thermal control (2) that, used with a room thermostat, permits keeping the ambient temperature on the set values as the thermal load varies. The obturator stem (3) is made of ground stainless steel in order to minimize friction and prevent dangerous encrustation. The headwork has a double seal (4) - (5) on the slide stem in the form of an O-Ring in EPDM. The EPDM obturator (6) is shaped so as to optimize the hydraulic characteristics of the valve and minimize the noise caused by the flow of the medium, also during the progressive action of opening or closing in operation with thermo-electric actuator.

Low head losses The manifold outlet sections have been specifically designed to generate low head loss. This means the manifold can be used (as illustrated in the diagram) as a distribution device for 2, 3 or 4 independent zones, when installed directly in a central heating system.

2 1 4 5 3 6

A simple numeric example can be used to demonstrate the device efficiency performing this function. Imagine we are using the 662 series manifold with 2 outlets to distribute the medium to other two zone manifolds with 5 outlets each. If we consider an average flow rate value per manifold of 700 l/h, the calculation gives us an average value of around 6 kPa for the zone manifold/valve and lockshield head loss. The calculated value is in line with the head losses for the zone valves used in this type of application.
Thermo-electric actuators can be used to make the various zones operate independently in response to the chrono-thermostats controlling them.

Modular manifolds The manifolds are modular thanks to the threaded connections with O-Ring seal (1). The threading is designed to create a perfect hydraulic seal and to align the relevant respective outlets correctly when the components are screwed on and fully tightened.

Managing the medium directly in the central heating system simplifies the electrical connection process of the thermo-electric actuators fitted to the manifold for zone control purposes.

Hydraulic characteristics In order to determine the hydraulic characteristics of the circuit, it is necessary to calculate the total head loss suffered by the flow of medium as it passes through the devices forming the manifold assembly and the radiator circuits. From a hydraulic point of view, the system consisting of the manifold assembly and the circuits can be represented as a set of hydraulic elements arranged in series and in parallel.

- Kv = flow rate in m3/h for a head loss of 1 bar - Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h for a head loss of 1 kPa

Example of total head loss calculation Supposing we need to calculate the head loss of a manifold with three outlets with the following characteristics: Total manifold flow rate: 410 l/h The pipes and radiators of the three circuits have the following flow rate and head loss characteristics: Circuit 1 G1 = 80 l/h PRadiator 1 = 1,3 kPa PPipe 1 = 1,7 kPa PP/R1 = 1,7 + 1,3 = 3 kPa P=G2/Kv0,012 G=flow rate in l/h P = head loss in kPa (1 kPa =100 mm w.g.) Kv0,01 = flow rate in l/h through the device, which corresponds to a head loss of 1 kPa It should be highlighted that the calculation of PTot. must be made taking account of the circuit in which there are the greatest head losses distributed along the entire circuit consisting of pipe + radiator. In the case we are examining, the relevant circuit is No. 3. It follows that: PLV3 PP/R3 PSV3 PFM PRM = 2002/5402 = 0,14 kPa = 12,5 kPa = 2002/4102 = 0,24 kPa = 4102/16702 = 0,06 kPa = 4102/16702 = 0,06 kPa Circuit 2 G2 = 130 l/h PRadiator 2 = 3 kPa PPipe 2 = 6,8 kPa PP/R2 = 6,8 + 3 = 9,8 kPa Circuit 3 G3 = 200 l/h PRadiator 3 = 5,3 kPa PPipe 3 = 7,2 kPa PP/R3 = 7,2 + 5,3 = 12,5 kPa

(1.2)

Each segment of the formula (1.1) is calculated using the following relationship:

} Values obtained by neglecting the changes due to tapping off flow rate to the single branched circuits.

PTot.= 0,14 +12,5 + 0,24 + 0,06 + 0,06 13 kPa

Using formula (1.1), adding up all the calculated terms, we obtain:

Note: Because of the low head losses for the manifolds, the two terms relating to them can be neglected. In general, the total head loss is reasonably approximate to that of the circuit consisting of the pipe, radiator and lockshield valve fully open.

Using the lockshield valve The lockshield valve permits balancing the single circuits of the fan coils to obtain the actual flow rates in each of them that are determined at the design stage. We consider each single circuit composed of: lockshield, pipe/fan coil and shut-off valve. To be able to set the system correctly it is necessary to take into account the following data: the flow rate of the medium that must pass through each circuit (design data). the head loss that, for this flow rate, is generated in each circuit: PCircuit = PP/R + PSV the head loss of the most disadvantaged circuit: PCircuit = PLV + PP/R + PSV
+ disadvantaged

(1.3)

(1.4)

In all the circuits the lockshield, for the flow rate GCircuit, must provide an additional head loss equal to the difference, which we can indicate as PLV (P lockshield). To permit an increase in flow rate, we sometimes consider the lockshield valve of the circuit with the greatest head losses open to 80%. Once the data PLV and GCircuit has been established for each circuit, we need to refer to the graph displaying the hydraulic characteristics of the lockshield and choose the optimum adjustment curve to which the valve adjustment position corresponds.

Example of adjustment Suppose we need to balance three circuits with the head loss and flow rate characteristics for the pipe/radiator assembly shown in the example (1.2): Since circuit No. 3 is the most disadvantaged one, because it has the greatest head loss for the pipe/radiator assembly, we need to adjust the remaining circuits: Circuit 3 PP/R3 = 12,5 kPa G3 = 200 l/h PLV3 = 2002/5402 = 0,14 kPa PSV3 = 2002/4102 = 0,24 kPa With the relationship (1.4): Pcircuit 3 = 0,14 + 12,5 + 0,24 13 kPa

Circuit 2 PP/R2 = 9,8 kPa G2 = 130 l/h PSV2 = 1302/4102 = 0,1 kPa with the relationship (1.3): PCircuit 2 = 9,8 + 0,1 = 9,9 kPa

Fixed set differential by-pass kit with flexible hose, code 662000
Function In heating systems, the medium distribution circuits can be totally or partially shut off by closing the thermo-electric valves in the manifolds or the thermostatic valves of the radiators. After reducing the flow rate, the differential pressure in the circuit may increase up to values which may generate noise problems, a high medium speed, mechanical erosion and hydraulic unbalancing of the system itself. The differential by-pass kit for 662 series manifolds performs the function of keeping the flow and return pressure in the manifold circuit balanced as the flow rate changes. This special by-pass kit consists of a flexible hose which makes installation easier and allows the manifold to be adapted to suit the brackets, according to the actual positions of the system flow and return piping. Product range Code 662000 Fixed set differential by-pass kit with flexible hose size 3/4 x 3/4 F captive nut

Technical specifications Materials Flexible hose: stainless steel Nuts: brass EN 12165 CW617N, chrome plated Check valve support body:brass EN 12165 CW617N, chrome plated Check valve obturator: POM Spring: stainless steel Hydraulic seals: EPDM Performance Medium: Max. percentage of glycol: Max. working pressure: Working temperature range: Fixed set differential pressure: Hose connections: Check valve support connections: Operating principle The by-pass valve contains a non-return obturator integral with a counter acting spring. When the fixed set pressure value is reached, the valve obturator gradually opens. In this way the flow is recirculated and, being proportional to the closure of the thermo-electric valves, keeps the differential pressure constant in the manifold circuit. Construction details The differential by-pass kit has a fixed set that cannot be changed since it has no accessible adjustment devices. As it is made using woven stainless steel, it remains flexible and is easily fitted to the manifold. The flexibility of the hose also offers the advantage of being able to adjust the position of the flow and return manifolds on the brackets, according to the actual centre distance between the system flow and return piping. water, glycol solutions 30% 10 bar 0100C 20 kPa (2000 mm w.g.) 3/4 x 1/2 F captive nut 1/2 M x 3/4 F

The 6563 series thermo-electric actuator is equipped with a control knob for manual opening, valve opening/closing indicator and a device for returning to automatic operation from the manual position when the electric supply is restored. The control knob for manual opening and the automatic return from the manual to the automatic position is particularly useful when testing or servicing the system if: - hydraulic tests need to be carried out without necessarily having to connect and power up the controls. - the knob is left in the manual position at the end of the tests. In this case the control automatically reverts to automatic operation when the system is electrically put into operation.

Function The anti-freeze safety device prevents ice build-up in domestic water circuits, avoiding possible damage to water storages and pipes in hydraulic, solar and irrigation systems. When the minimum ambient operating temperature is reached, it automatically opens so that a minimum quantity of water may flow toward the drain, enabling a small continuous inflow of water; this prevents water from freezing inside the pipe. When the ambient temperature increases or in the event of contact with warmer water, the opposite action occurs, causing the device to shut off and circuit normal operating conditions to be restored. A particular product has been developed by combining the freeze protection device with a garden tap, ball-type, specifically constructed for these installations. Patent application No. MI2009U000006

Operating principle A thermostatic element (1) in contact with the ambient air controls a shut-off obturator fitted to a passage seat in contact with the water contained in the pipe (2). When the ambient temperature drops to the minimum intervention value, the thermostat contracts. This causes the obturator to move and open a tiny passage so that water can drain out, allowing a small amount of water to flow in continuously; this prevents water from freezing inside the pipe. Water from the supply network, which is usually warmer than the air temperature up to the intervention value, laps the thermostat and causes the opposite action: the channel closes again and normal circuit operating conditions are restored. For optimal system operation without the risk of freezing, it is recommended that the part of the circuit in which the safety device is installed is connected to the water supply network and a suitable pressure level maintained.

ANTI-FREEZE SAFETY DEVICE CLOSED

ANTI-FREEZE SAFETY DEVICE OPEN

Volume of water drained While the anti-freeze device is in operation, the drain outlet will drip as a result of the cyclical opening and closing phases taking place correctly. The amount of water drained out varies in accordance with the outdoor temperature, the temperature of the water in the pipe and the length of piping exposed to the air. As a general guide, in the worst case conditions, the amount of water drained out is less than 500 cm3/h.

Construction details The valve is fitted with a ball featuring blow-out proof design, double O-ring seal and packing gland; the control lever and fixing nut are made of stainless steel, for total resistance against corrosion in different climatic conditions. The tap is fitted with a special hooking system so that a bucket or water container can be hung easily on it while being filled.

The anti-freeze safety device drain seat is made using stainless steel, so as to guarantee a perfect water tightness without any corrosion problems caused by contact with drained water. The drain zone is also protected by a metal mesh outside the body, to prevent dirt from entering and causing the device to malfunction.

The outlet thread on the tap is designed to allow direct coupling with hose connections and the normal accessories used in conjunction with garden hoses, for easier and more straightforward operation.

Installation Before installing the device, make sure that the system has been flushed and cleaned to remove any traces of dirt that may have accumulated during installation. The device must only be installed in vertical position, as shown in the diagram, so as to permit a free and unrestricted downward flow of the water as it drains out. The device must be installed in the points of the circuit at risk of freezing so that the water may flow freely and in order to prevent pipes, storages or components located upstream of the device from freezing. Pipes downstream of the device must be protected from frost if, due to the intervention of the device, the water contained in them remains stagnant without flowing. In the case of exposed outdoor pipes, the installation of a suitable heating cable will provide effective protection.

Backflow prevention device When installing the device on a drinking water system, the garden tap must be installed in accordance with current regulations relating to anti-pollution protection, as specified by standard EN 1717. The tap may be connected to a garden hose and the water contained within the hose may come into contact with hazardous substances. A suitable backflow preventer, double check valve or vacuum breaker valve should be selected and fitted in accordance with type of use and the corresponding hazard level.

Function The pressure reducing valve is a device which, installed on the water mains, reduces and regulates the pressure entering from the public network, irrespective of upstream pressure variations. In case of necessity, this series of pressure reducing valves is easy to inspect and maintain since it can be completely disassembled from the top and therefore it is not necessary to remove the appliance from the pipe. The reducing valve can be used in water distribution networks, drinking water supply systems and irrigation systems.

Operating principle The operating principle of the pressure reducing valve is based on the balance between two opposing forces: the thrust exerted by the downstream pressure on the lower part of the mobile valve is counteracted by the adjustable compression force of the spring. Since the active surface of the diaphragm is equivalent to the active surface of the mobile valve, the thrust which the upstream pressure exerts on the lower part of the diaphragm is compensated by the thrust exerted on the upper part of the mobile valve, thus rendering the appliance insensitive to changes in upstream pressure. When the pressure downstream of the reducing valve becomes lower than the regulating pressure, the force exerted by the spring becomes predominant and the obturator opens, increasing the degree of opening to increase the flow rate and restore the pressure (Fig. 1). However when the downstream pressure increases, the obturator closes, reducing the degree of opening to limit the flow rate. The downstream pressure therefore remains constant.

Hydraulic characteristics The following cavitation diagram can be used to check the operating conditions of the pressure reducing valve: Zone 1 : normal operating conditions Zone 2 : cavitation zone (use not recommended) Zone 3 : impossible

Sizing Upstream pressure (bar) The diameter of the appliance must be chosen based on the maximum flow rate and the conditions of use and not according the diameter of the pipe. The maximum flow rate is calculated considering an average velocity in the inflow section of 1,5 m/s.

Downstream pressure (bar)

Installation 1. Before the installation, open all distribution taps to clean out the system and to expel air remaining in the pipes. 2. Install the shut-off valves upstream and downstream to facilitate future maintenance. 3. The reducing valve can be installed in any position.

Maintenance When performing maintenance it is not necessary to remove the appliance from the pipe. 1. Isolate the appliance by closing the shut-off valves. 2. Unscrew the setting screw (20) in an anticlockwise direction until it is completely removed, diagram A. 3. Unscrew the nuts and remove the cover (4). Extract the mounting plate (9) and the spring (12). 4. Disengage the diaphragm (13) from the pins. With the adjustment key (21) positioned as indicated in diagram B unscrew the nut (18) with a plate wrench. 5. Remove the flange (8), the diaphragm (13), the obturator stop (7) and the lower cylinder (5). 6. To unscrew the seat (3) use the up-side down turned cover as shown in diagram C. 7. After having removed the seat, extract the obturator holder (6) and the gasket (20) using the stem (2). NOTE: If necessary, the obturator gasket can be changed without removing the seat. Check that it is correctly refitted.

4. Close the downstream shut-off valve. 5. Calibrate the device using the special key, turning it clockwise to increase the value and anticlockwise to decrease it. 6. Read the desired value on the downstream pressure gauge.

Installation recommendations Water hammer is one of the major causes of breakage in pressure reducing valves. Consequently during installation in high-risk systems, it is advisable to fit suitable devices to absorb water hammer. Functional faults The reducing valve does not maintain the set value In the majority of cases, this problem is due to impurities depositing on the seat seal and causing seepage and creeping, thereby increasing downstream pressure. The solution is to install a filter downstream of the valve and to ensure that maintenance is properly carried out (see maintenance section).

Construction details Locking device The control lever can be locked in position for greater safety. Once the valve has been opened or shut off, slide the shaped clamp (1) downwards, inserting it into the relevant protruding slot (2) on the valve body. The hole (3) on the control lever may be used to fit a tamper-proof safety seal or a padlock (not supplied) which locks the clamp (1) in position. Control lever knob The knob (4) covering the control lever is made of plastic material with low thermal conductivity. Specifically designed to withstand high temperatures, it prevents burns during operation and is resistant to the wear normally experienced by plastic materials when installed outdoors.

Stainless steel components In outdoor installations, the deterioration of product components occurs more quickly due to the action of climatic agents, resulting in a shortened period of normal operation. Using stainless steel to make the components of the 240 series valve ensures the device remains reliable and functional for long time. It also ensures the device is suitable for contact with the high-temperature glycol solution. Installation The valve can be fitted on either vertical or horizontal pipes. Make sure that it is easy to move the control lever in order to open or shut off the valve once it has been installed.

Flow rate in l/h The black curve satisfies the requirements of standard NF. The red curve represents the performance capabilities of pressure reducing valve code 539250.

Installation and adjustment 1 Before installing the valve, open all taps to flush the entire system and to purge air from the pipes. 2 Install upstream and downstream shut-off valves to facilitate future maintenance operations. 3 Install the reducing valve in vertical or horizontal position, but never upside-down.

Installation advice Installing pressure reducing valves below ground is not recommended, most of all for two reasons: - it is difficult to read the pressure gauge, if not actually impossible; - impurities could enter the device through the ports, used to discharge the pressure, which are located on the cover. Water hammer is one the main causes of failure of pressure reducing valves. It is suggested a device to absorb the water hammer (ANTISHOCK 525 series). To prevent impurities from impairing the operation of the pressure reducing valve, we advise the installation of a dirt separator upstream of the reducing valve (DIRTCAL 5462 series).

4 Close the downstream shut-off valve. 5 Adjust the setting using the spring pressing screw, located on the cover, using a 10 mm hexagonal wrench, turning clockwise to increase the setting and anti-clockwise to reduce it. 6 Read off the value on the pressure gauge. (Caleffi pressure reducing valves are factory set to 3 bar).

Operating principle The regulator element inside the thermostatic three-way valve consists of a temperature sensor (1) fully immersed in the mixed water outlet chamber. By expanding and contracting, it continuously ensures a correct proportioning of hot water, coming from the boiler, and water returning from the panel circuit. The water intake is regulated by a shaped obturator (2) that slides inside a special cylinder placed between the hot water flow (3) and the water returning from the circuit (4). Even if the thermal load of the secondary circuit or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the set temperature.

PRIMARY INLET

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the temperature regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect. Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator that acts on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control. Non-sticking materials The materials used for the mixing valve construction eliminate potential sticking due to scale. All functional parts, such as the obturator, valve seats and guides, have been made using a special material with low friction coefficient, which ensures performance over time. Low-inertia thermostatic sensor The temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic three-way valve, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time as the thermal load changes. Temperature adjustment and locking The control knob is used to adjust temperature in a full turn (360) between min. and max. It also has tamper protection for locking the temperature at the set value.

Safety thermostat We recommend the safety thermostat is connected to the heat generator so that the electric supply is cut off when the triggering temperature is reached. To do so, connect the two safety thermostat wires directly to the generator and create an electrical jumper between the two contacts on the terminal board for unit 182, previously connected to the safety thermostat.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operating principle The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the regulating unit for the panel circuit. It is composed of a distribution manifold and a differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifold Single casting The primary circuit distribution manifold is created using a single casting, without any connections between the internal tubes. This eliminates potential leakage caused by coupling with metals with different expansion coefficients. The connections of the side outlets are positioned tangentially to the main tubes, to make fitting mounting easier. Hydraulic characteristics Coefficient of localized head loss at the inlet (F+R): 3,0 Coefficient of localized head loss at the outlet (F+R): 6,5 Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve has a fixed setting that cannot be changed. It is preset to 10 kPa, the mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit.

Example: Let us calculate the head loss of the primary circuit manifold.

vtot = Gtot / Atot = 960 10 -3 / [( 0,02 2 / 4) 3600] = 0,849 m/s speed of water entering the primary circuit manifold ?pcp=?1 ? vtot2 / 2 = 1081,2 Pa = 1,08 kPa localized manifold inlet head loss (with ? = 1000 kg/m3 water density)

Gs = 700 l/h flow rate to secondary circuit Grad = 130 l/h flow rate to individual radiator Gtot = 2 Grad + Gs = 960 l/h total flow rate

vrad = Grad / A = 130 10 -3 / [( 0,015 2 / 4) 3600] = 0,205 m/s ?prad = ?2 ? vrad2 / 2= 136,58 Pa = 0,136 kPa localized head loss at the outlet. Given the limited length of the primary circuit manifold, the corresponding distributed head losses are negligible. The total loss is as follows: ?p = ?pcp + ?prad = 1,08 + 0,136 1,2 kPa
Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Function The temperature regulating unit with the distribution kit for the primary circuit is made to be used in mixed systems: radiant panels and radiators, in combination with distribution manifolds for radiant panels. The set point regulating unit performs the function of keeping the flow temperature constant, at the set value, for the medium distributed in a low temperature system for floor radiant panels. In this particular series, the temperature is regulated by a specific hydraulic unit equipped with a thermostatic three-way valve with a built-in sensor. The function of the kit is to distribute a portion of the medium flowing from the primary boiler circuit to the heating elements. It is supplied complete with manifolds with built-in shut-off and regulating valves and an adjustable differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit. The latter accessory is essential when there is a primary circuit circulation pump and the radiator circuits are controlled by thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. Patent application No. MI2006A001935. Reference documentation - Tech. broch. 01126 Manifolds in composite specifically designed for radiant panel systems 670 series.

Operating principle The regulator element inside the thermostatic three-way valve consists of a temperature sensor (1) fully immersed in the mixed water outlet chamber. By expanding and contracting, it continuously ensures a correct proportioning of hot water, coming from the boiler, and water returning from the panel circuit. The water intake is regulated by a shaped obturator (2) that slides inside a special cylinder placed between the hot water flow (3) and the water returning from the circuit (4). Even if the thermal load of the secondary circuit or the inlet temperature from the boiler change, the mixing valve automatically adjusts the flow rates until it obtains the set temperature.

PRIMARY INLET

Construction details Regulating unit body The valve body, containing the temperature regulating device, is made out of a single casting with connections to the primary and secondary circuits. A specific internal channel carries the system return medium to the regulating valve, making it possible for the unit to be smaller in size and easy to connect.

3
SECONDARY RETURN SECONDARY FLOW Flow unit The flow unit is made out of a single casting with the necessary ports to connect with the functional components such as the safety thermostat and the pressure gauge.

PRIMARY RETURN

Reduced head losses The three-way mixing valve is equipped with a special obturator that acts on calibrated water orifices. This ensures a high flow rate and a reduced size, while maintaining accurate temperature control.

Non-sticking materials The materials used for the mixing valve construction eliminate potential sticking due to scale. All functional parts, such as the obturator, valve seats and guides, have been made using a special material with low friction coefficient, which ensures product performance over time.

Low-inertia thermostatic sensor The temperature-sensitive element, the engine of the thermostatic three-way valve, has low thermal inertia; in this way it can quickly react to changes in the conditions of inlet pressure and temperature, shortening the valve response time as the thermal load changes.

Temperature adjustment and locking The control knob is used to adjust temperature in a full turn (360) between min. and max. It also has tamper protection for locking the temperature at the set value.

Adjustment locking Turn the knob onto the required number, unscrew the upper screw, remove the knob and put it back on so that the internal reference couples with the protrusion on the knob carrier ring nut.

Distribution and differential by-pass kit for primary circuit Operating principle The distribution and differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit enables controlling the flow to the heating elements connected before the outlet to the regulating unit for the panel circuit. It is composed of distribution manifolds with built-in regulating and shut-off valves and the adjustable differential by-pass kit for the primary circuit.

Primary circuit distribution manifolds The distribution manifolds are equipped with: - flow rate regulating valves built into the flow manifold. In this way it is possible to set the right flow rate and balance the various connected circuits. - shut-off valves built into the return manifold. The same circuits can be automatically shut off by using the thermo-electric actuators. p (mm w.g.)

Differential valve The differential valve is used to control the head in the primary distribution circuit. It aids flow circulation towards the heating elements and limits overpressure if there are thermostatic or thermo-electric valves. The differential valve setting can be adjusted. It is preset to 5 kPa, the mean value for the loss of head in the primary circuit. If necessary, the intervention value can be adjusted within the range 230 kPa (0,23 m w.g.), using the corresponding knob with graduated scale.

Primary circuit by-pass kit The by-pass kit permits hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits. This hydraulic separation optimizes the operation of the secondary circuit at the panels thus preventing the influence on the secondary circuit by any primary circuit flow rate variation. In this case, the flow rate through the respective circuits depends solely on the pump flow rate characteristics, preventing reciprocal influence due to their coupling in series. Two possible conditions of hydraulic balance are described here. The component is typically sized in order to have the following working rate: G primary = G secondary (inlet to the mixing valve) + G heating elements G primary maximum recommended: 1,5 m3/h

Specifications Current regulations and provisions regarding the design of centralised domestic water/heating systems require the application of user modules. The user module (independent flame-free mini-boiler) offers independent heating control and therefore keeps a record of direct consumption data, both in terms of thermie/refrigeration units and domestic hot/cold water. The user module incorporates multiple hydraulic solutions which can be actuated directly on-site. Three-way zone valve, equipped with by-pass setting. Two-way zone valve (by-pass in closed position). Vertical or horizontal positioning with left side ot right side connection. AUTOFLOW arrangement. Possibility for aggregation of 3 domestic water outlets.

Notes:

before bracketing the domestic hot water function onto the template supports, check the flow direction indicated on the BALLSTOP body valve. before bracketing the water meter, check the flow direction marked on the meter body itself.

To prevent dripping caused by condensation, it is wise to position the domestic cold water (DCW) or dual water (DW) gauge on the lower part of the template supports. Note: the DHW/DCW functions are supplied separately. The template connection point allows the hydraulic water network to be flushed before installation takes place. The positive displacement meter is supplied, for subsequent hydraulic bracketing and any necessary electrical wiring on the electronic panel.

The pre-adjustment values are purely 42C indicative since they depend on the 45C primary flow rate and temperature 48C and the domestic water inlet 52C temperature (factory pre-adjustment 3). An anti-scald mixing valve is installed on the DHW outlet which enables the DHW temperature to be precisely regulated, above all levelling off possible temperature increases due to sudden downward variations of the domestic water flow rate (see fig. 3). This mixing valve incorporates a definable anti-scald function.

CONTECA TOUCH controller

755055

FAST interface

The controller is able to acquire, via bus, all the totalised values of the individual users (heating units / refrigeration units / mass / opening times of the zone valve), user operating status (ON/OFF), totalised values from the supplementary pulse meters (hot/cold domestic water) and operational diagnostics. All the above-described totalised values are recorded on a daily basis in log files that are useful for analysing consumption and allocating costs. Maximum number of plumbing units: 250. Comprises: - 1 CPU touch screen - 1 rack for wall mounting The controller has the following features: - 1 touch screen LCD monitor for display of consumption and user data - 1 RS232 port - 1 RS485 port - 2 USB ports - 1 LAN port - GSM modem Electric supply: 230 V (ac) 10% - 50 Hz - 60 W. Ambient conditions: 1035C with no dust.

As an alternative to controller code 755010 it is possible to have RS485/M-bus central transmission via FAST interface. Using a portable PC with Windows environment and complementary software, the operator can transfer the consumption data of the individual units by connecting this interface locally to the portable PC. Maximum number of plumbing units: 30. Comprises: - Data acquisition software. - Instruction manual. Specifications: Electric supply: 230 V (ac) - 50 Hz - 5 VA. RS232-C interface. Dimensions 165 x 120 x 40 mm.

MAINTENANCE AND FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTICS To ensure correct operation and maximum efficiency of the user satellite, it is necessary to perform the following maintenance operations and functional checks, including during first start-up: a) Inspect and clean the filter mesh in the pocket on the flow pipe (see diagram on page 2) b) Check the clogging of the heat exchanger (5) c) Check the operation of the zone valve (3) by switching the room timer-thermostat. d) Visually check for water leakage from the fittings or shut-off valves NOTE: it is advisable at the end of the winter heating period to close the plumbing unit distribution valves (second and third ball valve from the right).

So that the order can be processed, details regarding the plumbing units must be sent to Caleffi.

Pulse domestic water function

If the building has a controller code 755010 and therefore a central transmission line, it is advisable to use the pulse-type cold domestic water meter. The plumbing unit CONTECA module, suitably connected to the rotary meter, acquires the pulses and makes them available for transmission over the bus, facilitating compression and logging of all plumbing unit consumption. Nominal flow rate: Qnom 1.6 m3/h.
