3 Product Description

3.1 General

This document is meant to be used in addition to the SUPAflo EVO central heating boiler documentation, in case of having an (industrial) water heater. This document only contains the differences in construction and application to the central heating boiler version. General information on the boiler (transport, commissioning, maintenance, etc.) can be found in the central heating boiler documentation.

3.2 Technical description

Fig. 3

The (industrial) water heater is applicable for direct heating of sanitary hot water without using hydraulic separation (f.e. plate heat exchanger) in the system. All metallic materials in contact with water are made of stainless steel 1.4404. For the water heater, all components in contact with water are WRAS compliant.

3.3 Water quality

3.3.1 (Industrial) Water heater

As there is always fresh water flowing through the water heater, there are restrictions to the maximum flow temperature related to the hardness of the water. The following table indicates the maximum flow temperatures for different water hardness values. Not respecting these values can lead to damage of the heat exchanger.

For standard sanitary hot water systems the following applies:

Water hardness [°dH]	Water hardness [°f]	Water hardness [ppm CaCO3]	Max temp setpoint [°C]
2,8 – 8,4	5 – 15	50 – 150	75
8,4 – 11,2	15 – 20	150 – 200	65
> 11,2	> 20	> 200	water treatment

pH-value should be between 7,0 – 9,5. Chloride level should not exceed 50mg/l.

For industrial hot water systems (higher flow temperatures) the following applies:

Water hardness [°dH]	Water hardness [°f]	Water hardness [ppm CaCO3]	Max temp setpoint [°C]
0 – 0,56	0 – 1	0 – 10	90
0,56 – 2,8	1 – 5	10 – 50	80
> 2,8	> 5	> 50	water treatment

pH-value should be between 7,0 – 9,5. Chloride level should not exceed 50mg/l.

3.4 Hot water production (water heater only)

The following table shows the tapping volumes which can be achieved with a water heater, based on a cold water inlet temperature of 10ºC.

Boiler type	Output at 80-60°C	flow 50°C	flow 60°C	flow 65°C	flow 70°C	flow 80°C	flow 90°C

3.5 Hydraulic connection

3.5.1 (Industrial) Water heater

The SUPAflo EVO (industrial) water heater must be installed in such a way, that a minimum water flow rate of 30% of the nominal flow rate can be assured at all times when the burner is switched on. The water heater can increase the water temperature by maximum 17K in a single cycle. This means that the water has to cycle through the water heater several times when f.e. cold water of 10ºC has to be heated up to 60ºC (3 times).

This is normally done by installing the water heater in combination with a buffer tank. The flow rate from the tank to the water heater and back can then be secured by the (primary) water heater pump.

The table below shows the nominal water flow data at a T of 17K, plus the pump data of the (optional) pump kit for each type of water heater.

Boiler type	dT	Nominal flow	Boiler resistance	Pump type	Pump curve	Pump head	Available head
Boiler type	[K]	[m3/h]	[kPa]	[-]	[-]	[kPa]	[kPa]

4 System Examples

4.1 System Example: Water heater with a SS300/500/800/1000-10-2.5″ single buffer vessel

The SUPAflo EVO connected to an Andrews SS300/500/800/1000-10-2.5” single buffer vessel with a separate cold feed and secondary return / drain ports directly into the buffer vessel. The buffer vessel also has individual flow and return ports for the water heater. The location and size of these ports will prevent cycling of the water heater and allow the heater to operate efficiently. The primary pump will constantly circulate water through the water heater and buffer vessel to allow the water heater to respond swiftly to any demand and provide a stable water temperature within the vessel and system. We recommend not to reduce the diameter of the pipe-work between the buffer vessel and water heater as this may reduce the design flow rate across the water heater. The Andrews SS300/500/800/1000-10-2.5” single buffer vessel has has an individual port in the vessel to fit a temperature and pressure relief valve direct in the top rear side of the vessel.
