Linking
Applications
|
There
are two main methods of linking applications with a closed loop system:
- Each application has a dedicated heat
exchanger and the heat is directed using zone valves.
- A special twin coil DHW tank can be
used. This tank has a coil at the bottom of the tank connected to
the Thermomax Collector which heats the domestic hot water in the
tank. The coil at the top of the tank is connected to the other
application but only allowed to function when the tank temperature
is above a set temperature, say 130ºF.
|
- Setup: The globe valve (4) is
slightly closed so that a small quantity of water will pass through
the heat exchanger when the water is directed that way. Do not close
too much.
- The Differential Controller will
turn the motorized valve (3) to direct the flow to the heat
exchanger and bypass when the temperature
at the heat exchanger sensor C is higher than the
return temperature R by at least the preselected
amount.
- Some pool/spa water will collect heat
from the heat exchanger.
- When the above condition is not
met, the motorized valve will revert.
- This will also happen if the return
water has reached a preset temperature at Tmax.
