Variant menu: System Definition > Tank > Parameters
The following parameters are displayed and calculated on the Parameters page:
for the solar single coil tanks: Volume per m² collector surface area for the part of the tank, which serves as buffer tank: the percentage of the mean daily consumption Input dialog for tank parameters, example single coil tank
Proceed as follows: Load a tank from the database by clicking the Select button. »
Variant menu: System Definition > Tank > Connections
Tank > Parameters > Connections
Enter the height in percent of the tank height, both for outlets/inlets or Return/Supply, depending on the use of the tank. Enter the losses in W/K for each connection. The required values differ depending on the intended use of the tank. »
Variant menu: System Definition > Tank > Heat Exchanger
Tank dialog, Heat Exchanger page: example dual coil tank
System A5: Input dialog for a combination tank with internal heat exchanger, Heat Exchanger page
The values shown on the Heat Exchanger page of all tanks describe the quality of the internal heat exchanger used and cannot be modified.
If you have selected a tank with stratification, the height of the stratifier in relation to the tank height is shown. »
Variant menu: System Definition > Tank > Electric Element
A2 or A4 system: Single coil DHW tank, used as standby tank, page Electric Element
On page Electric Element:
Define whether there is an electric water heater element. Enter the electrical output either as an absolute value or related to the tank volume. The respective other value is calculated and displayed. Enter the installation height in percent of the tank height. Define the operating times of the heater element by clicking the fields for entire months or by using the magnifier for individual days. »
Variant menu: System Definition > Tank > Control
The majority of tank dialogs have a Control page, including one or several areas:
Desired tank temperature Auxiliary heating Collector loop connections Redirection valve / Return boost Define on the Control page:
Desired tank temperature The switching temperatures for the auxiliary heating can be changed. Define the desired tank temperature with respect to the DHW target temperature. In the Collector Loop Connection section, the position of the measurement sensors for switching on and off the collector loop and the maximum temperature limit of the tank are displayed. »
