Vitocell 100-V Installation Instructions
Set-up and Connections
Multiple Tank Set-up
[only for 79 and 120 USG (300 and 450 L) capacities]
IMPORTANT
Two tanks, each with 79 USG (300 L) content, or up to
four tanks, each with 120 USG (450 L) content, may be
installed side-by-side.
The tanks are controlled via one DHW tank aquastat.
Individual control of tanks within the group of tanks is
therefore not possible.
If control of individual tanks within a group of tanks is
necessary, two alternatives exist. Either a 4-tank group
can be separated into smaller groups, i.e. two batteries
each consisting of two tanks (one DHW tank aquastat
controls each group), or all tanks should be installed
individually, i.e. individual tank set-up (one DHW tank
aquastat controls each tank).
1. Install aquastat in the boiler water supply of the last
tank receiving the boiler water in a group of tanks (see
illustration).
2. Install domestic cold and hot water header lines (see
illustration).
3. Install boiler water supply and return header lines (see
illustration).
4. Make final cold and hot water connections.
Both the boiler supply/return header and the domestic
hot/cold water header must be installed in a reverse
return method. This ensures uniform heating of all tanks
in the group. Header sizes for batteries up to four 79 to
120 USG (300 to 450 L) tanks are listed below.
5. Insulate header piping lines.
CAUTION
In commercial installations, we recommend the installation
of an additional high limit aquastat in the main discharge
pipe of domestic hot water from a group of tanks into
the system, and to wire this additional high limit aquastat
in series with the operating aquastat.
