2.0 Safety

This section gives an overview of all the important security aspects
of optimal protection of personnel as well as of safe and trouble­free operation of the substation. In addition, these chapters include
specic safety symbols in order to avert immediate safety hazards.

2.1 General information

Substation is built at the time of its development and manufactur­ing according to existing, accepted engineering standards and is safe
to operate. The substation can be dangerous if used by improperly
trained personnel or used improperly or by unauthorised persons. Any
person authorised to work on or with the substation must read and
understand the operating instructions before starting work. We recom­mend advising the operator to obtain conrmation from sta proven
understanding of the instruction manual. Modications of any kind
as well as additions or modications to the substation are forbidden.
All substation security, warning and operating instructions must be
maintained in good legible condition. Damaged labels or stickers
must be replaced immediately. Specied values or ranges must be
strictly adhered to.

2.2 Responsibility of substation operator

NOTE

For modication and extension activities, always consult with the
substation manufacturer.

• Operating instructions must always be stored within the
immediate vicinity of the substation and must be accessible
at all times for installation, operation and maintenance and to
cleaning sta.

• Operate the substation only if it is in a proper
technical and safe operating condition.

• Check that safety devices are always kept freely
accessible test them regularly.

Information about industrial safety is based on the European Union
regulations valid at the time of manufacture of the substation. The
operator is obliged throughout the entire lifetime of the substa­tion to conform to those safety actions designated in the current
rules and regulations and to comply with those in new regulations.
Outside of the European Union, the safety laws, local rules and
regulations applicable to the location where the substation oper­ates must be followed.

2.3 Intended use

Operational safety is guaranteed only where the substation is used
properly and in accordance with the instructions / details in this
manual. A district heating substation is used to provide heat energy
from the district heating utility grid by transferring heat to customer
installation systems. Intended use also includes compliance with
instructions for installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning.

2.4 Possible misuse

WARNING. Hazard from improper use!

Any use of the substation apart from its intended use may lead

protection regulations must be observed and followed. The opera­tor and authorised personnel are responsible for the trouble-free
operation of the substation, as well as for the clear denition of re­sponsibilities for installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning
of the substation. There must be no deviation from the information
in the operating instructions!
The operator shall also ensure that:

• Any further risks are identied in an assessment of risks arising
from the special working conditions at the operations site.

• That any additional work and safety instructions resulting from
the risk assessment of activities performed on the substation
are described in a standard operating procedure (SOP).

Always follow local regulations as well as any existing ordinances
on industrial safety and health (e.g. in Germany: BetrSichV, BGBL
I 2002, 3777).

Any additional and / or other use of the substation is forbidden
and considered as improper use! Any claims against the manufac­turer and / or its representative for any loss or damage as a result
of improper use of the substation are excluded. The operator and
/ or owner shall be solely liable for any damage arising when the
substation is used for any purpose other than.

Therefore:

• Use the district heating transfer station only for its intended
purpose and in accordance with the information provided
in this document, particularly the limitations given in the
technical data.

• Avoid any further or other use of the district heating transfer
station.

• It is forbidden to change, upgrade or modify the design or
individual components for the purpose of changing the
station’s range of usability or application.

Hazards to persons and / or the system can be prevented by fol­lowing the safety at work instructions.

2.8 Emergency stop switch

The operator shall ensure that the emergency stop switch is installed
in accordance with applicable accident prevention regulations. The
operator must inform operations sta about the location and opera­tion of the emergency stop switch.

2.9 Operators

The substation may be operated and maintained only by authorised,
trained and instructed personnel. These personnel must receive spe
cial training on potential risks. An “instructed person” is a person who
has been informed of the tasks assigned to him/her and the potential
hazards of improper usage and, if necessary, who has been trained
and instructed in protective equipment and actions.
A “professional” is a person who, because of his/her technical train­ing, knowledge, and experience, as well as his/her knowledge of the
relevant provisions, can evaluate the work transferred to him/her and
recognise possible dangers.
If the sta do not have the knowledge required, then they must be
trained. Responsibilities for operation and maintenance must be
clearly dened and respected so that there is no unclear division of
responsibilities in terms of safety.

2.10 Steps to follow in the event of danger or accidents

In the event of an emergency or accident, the substation must be
switched OFF by immediately pressing the emergency stop switch.
This can be done by opening the safety door or protective window
equipped with safety switches that trigger the emergency stop func­tion when opened.
Safety devices with an emergency stop function are only to be used
in appropriate situations.

The substation may only be operated and maintained by persons

-

who can be expected to reliably run their work. Any operation that
aects the safety of persons or the substation environment must be
avoided. Persons under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication
that aects responsiveness must not perform any work with or on
the substation. When selecting personnel, the relevant country’s
youth employment protection regulations as well as any occupation­specic regulations that may exist must be followed with respect to
minimum age.
The operator must ensure that no unauthorised persons are work­ing on or with the substation. Unauthorised persons such as visi­tors, guest etc., must not come into contact with the substation.
You must maintain a reasonable safety distance. The user is obliged
to immediately report any issues which occur in the substation and
may aect the safety of the operator.

Safety equipment must not be used for normal shutdown of the
substation. Always be prepared for accidents or re! Keep rst-aid
equipment (rst-aid kit, eye wash, etc.) and a re extinguisher within
the substation area.
Personnel must be trained in the handling and location of safety
devices, accident procedures, rst aid and rescue equipment. This
results in the prevention of dangerous situations and ensures the
best possible assistance in the event of an accident.

DSA HOME

4.0 Function and conguration

4.1 Function

The DSA HOME is an indirect compact substation, where heat trans­fer from the district heating network to a secondary installation is
realised via plate heat exchangers. This solution ensures hydraulic
system separation.

The basic idea of heat transfer in a compact substation is connect­ing the primary side of the piping to the district heating company’s
network, which supplies hot water within the appropriate parameters
(such as for pressure and temperature), and the secondary piping to
the customer’s installation on the other side. Network parameters
may vary depending on the season and may be higher during the
winter season and lower during the warmer months. Primary medium
ow normally through shut-o valve and strainer, located inside
primary module. In addition for pressure and temperature measure­ments, usually pressure gauge and thermometer are assembled, if it
is needed according to the specication of District Heating Utility on
primary ow and/or return pipe. The control valve with actuator is
located on the primary supply pipe . Cooled heating water ows back
through the primary return piping to the district heating network.

4.2 DSA HOME – Primary Side

Due to the dierent market requirements, the basic conguration
includes only control valves with actuators located on the primary
supply piping (pos. Scw, Sco). Shut o valve (G3, G4) are placed on
return piping. Flat gasket connection ensures long lifetime and easy
maintenance.

In the secondary circuit circulating pump transfers heated water to
the heating surfaces of other installations (e.g. ventilation equip­ment, drinking water or heating installations, etc.). Several heating
circuit control valves are installed to allow adjustment of secondary
temperatures on specic heating circuits. If a controller with weather
compensation is installed at the substation, it has the following es­sential functions:

• Measures ow temperature on the secondary side and outside
temperature

• Changes the stroke of the control valve on the primary side so
that it conforms to the required secondary temperature

• Limits the return temperature on the primary side to a value
preset in the controller

• Switches the secondary side circulating pump(s) on and o as
necessary and ensures frost protection

If required, special functions are available according to needs and
designs. Refer to the instruction manual of the controller manufac­turer. All substations are oered upon request and manufactured in
keeping with the customer’s special operating conditions.

Due to its xed dimensions and standardised connections it is easy
to connect an additional primary module or prepare installations
well before substation delivery. The composite at gasket allows for
a durable and leakage-free connection. The primary side based on
DN20 piping.

The DSA HOME conguration is based on micro plate heat exchanger
technology. In comparison with traditional heat exchangers, it en­sures better heat transfer and reduced pressure loss. This results in
alonger system life span and better reliability.

4.3 DSA HOME conguration possibilities – Heating side

The heating side of the DSA HOME oers piping up to DN20, which
allows the transfer of medium suitable for one family house on awall­mounted construction. The base conguration includes:

• threaded shut-o valves (pos. Z1, Z2)

• strainer (pos. F2)

• pump (pos. PO)

• surface sensor (pos. Tco)

• safety valve (pos. ZBO)

• thermomanometers (pos. TM2)

A visual parameter such as temperature and pressure can be meas­ured with a thermomanometer (pos. TM2). The safety valve (pos.
ZBO) is located on the supply (4). Heating pump (pos. PO) is located
on return piping, to ensure longer lifetime as working temperature
is lower. Surface sensor (Tco) check temperature on supply pipe and
via controller increase or reduce the ow on primary side.

4.4 DSA HOME – Domestic Hot Water side

Figure 4: DSA HOME heating conguration

The basic domestic hot water conguration includes shut-o valves
(pos. G5, G6), which allows to shut o DHW circuit. The temperature
sensor (pos. Tcw) connected to the controller makes it possible to
keep the temperature at a requested level. Brass-threaded strainer
(pos. F3) protect dirt-sensitive components such as the pump (pos.
PC) and heat exchanger from impurities. Check valves (pos. G8, G9)
prevent components from being damaging by backow and can
prevent anon-hygienic situation. Pressure and temperature measure­ment can be made by thermomanometers.

The domestic hot water piping is prepared from a combination of
stainless steel components and brass ttings. Due to the use of high
performance plate in the heat exchanger and a pipe size of up to
DN15, the DSA HOME is suitable for one family houses.

6.1 Installation preparation

Substation installation should be carried out on a clean, at surface.

The DSA HOME must be assembled and mounted onto the wall with
the appropriate screws and dowels found in the loose components
box.

6.1.1 Primary connection

The primary connection must be made by qualied personnel in
consultation with local / district heating supply companies if the
installation is connected to such network. The primary supply and
return must be connected to the designated devices or the substa­tion shut-o valves.

The commissioning of primary side connections to the district heat­ing network is usually done by the relevant local / district heating
company.

• If substation is delivered (ordered) without a strainer on
primary inlet site, make sure it is separately mounted
before substation is connected to the network to protect all
components from potential damage. If this requirement is not
respected it may result in loss of warranty.

• After installation of substation to the network it is required to
splash pipes between main strainer and substation to remove
any potential particles.

NOTE!

Check the durability of wall material before installing.

6.1.2 Secondary connection

A specialised installation company connects the secondary installa­tion to the substation’s designated shut-o valve.

6.1.3 Electrical connection

Only a qualied electrician approved by a responsible electric utilities
company may carry out the electrical installation of the substation in
compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. The substation
is completely wired and tested at the factory by default. If an outdoor
sensor for substation control is ordered, this is enclosed in the loose
component box and should be installed as far as this is possible on
the north side of the building.

WARNING! Risk of injury!

Improper installation and assembly can result in serious injury
and / or property damage. Installation and assembly work may be
performed only by qualied personnel in compliance with safety
regulations.

7.0 Commissioning

The following actions must always be carried out only after com­missioning:

• Initial start-up of the substation (see commissioning
protocol in the attached annex)

• Restarting after complex substation maintenance

• Restarting after the implementation of a new device

• Restart following a malfunction of the substation

• Restarting after shutdown or longer downtime

Installation and initial commissioning of the substation is carried out
by approved employees of the manufacturer or authorised partner
companies. Typically the local utility company is must be involved in
work relating to heating connections. Typically the district heating
utility must be involved in work relating to primary connections.
Unauthorised initial start-up is not allowed.

7.1 Requirements for commissioning

In order to commission the station the following conditions must
be met:

• Commissioning must be approved by the district heating utilities

• All screws and fasteners must be tightened

• Substation piping must be connected properly

• All impurities and leftover installation materials must be
removed from the piping

• The station must be properly connected to electricity: the supply
voltage must be applied to the main switch or circuit breaker

• The primary connection must be applied to the primary
shut-o valves within the necessary parameters

Following installation, initial start-up and the execution of test runs
by the manufacturer or its authorised representative, the substation
is handed over to the operator. Afterwards, the substation is operated
as intended in accordance with the instructions in the Operator’s
Manual. Installation and commissioning of the substation can be
performed by employees of the manufacturer, installers authorised
by it or by a specialised installation company. In any case, the exist­ence of a fully completed commissioning protocol (see annex) is
aprerequisite for maintaining a substation warranty.

• The secondary installation should be lled (including the
substation) and vented (venting pumps are necessary)

• Pressurisation must be ready with the required base pressure

• Desired time programmes and additional data for controller
set-up must be available

• The substation may only be put into operation when an
authorised specialist from the district heating company or
an expert from an installation company or an authorised
specialist from the commercial oce has approved the correct
condition of the whole system.

7.2 Secondary side commissioning

Before commissioning, check that all safety-related rules and regula­tions have been taken into account.

Working parameters for the substation’s plate type must match the
operating parameters of the local / district heating company and
the heating system. Fill the secondary installation with water accord­ing to the water quality rules. To avoid substation damage, ensure
that pressure during lling does not exceed the maximum allowable
working pressure. Before rst use, the secondary side must be rinsed
suciently by the installation company. Check all connections for
leaks and tightness. Fill the secondary installation to the required
static pressure.

7.3 Primary-side commissioning

All work on the primary side of the system must be carried out in
coordination with the local / district heating company by suitably
qualied and trained personnel. Fill the substation by slowly open­ing the shut-o valve on the primary supply. Also slowly open the
shut-o valve on the primary return. Manually adjust the electronic
controller to the “valve open” position.

If the medium is water, set the ow / pressure dierential regulator or
pressure regulator (if available) to the maximum ow rate according
to capacity or preset dierential pressure. Than set up the pressure
regulator, if there is one, to the designated value. Check all connec­tions for leaks and tightness, and retighten with the required torque
if necessary.

Rinse the primary site with the district heating medium and reclose
the shut-o valves. Clean the strainers and adjust the electronic
controller in accordance with the designated values in the enclosed
supplier instructions.

7.4 Requirements for commissioning

The electronic controller is preset in the factory in accordance with
the data available to us. After commissioning, the controller auto
matically performs a self-test, displays a default system code and
automatically goes into operating mode. Now a precise setting can
be made in accordance with the controller manufacturer’s manual
can be made. The manual is attached to the station.

7.5 Fault and Shutdown

The heating controller, control valve actuator and heating pump are
connected to mains voltage.
Therefore:

- Immediately turn o the main switch or unplug the power cable

- Close the second shut-o valves on the primary
and secondary side

- A specialist company must be consulted for troubleshooting

-

WARNING! Electric shock hazard!

Leaking water can subject the entire substation to dangerous volt­age. Before starting any work, switch the power OFF and ensure
that it cannot be turned back on.

7.6 Commissioning after a failure or malfunctiong

After a failure on the primary side, always contact the local or district
heating company. Recommissioning is to be carried out by a special
ist company.

After a failure on the secondary side contact a specialist company.
Recommissioning is to be carried out by the specialist company.

8.0 Operation

The substation works in fully automatic mode. During operation, no
personnel are required either in the area of the substation or within
its immediate vicinity.

8.1 Switching on

To turn the substation on, follow the requirements in the “Commis­sioning” chapter 7. The substation can be turned on at the main switch
of the electronic controller and will start to operate automatically.

8.2 Switching o

The substation can be turned o at the main switch of the electronic
controller and will stop automatically.

WARNING! Risk of burns!

In case of leakage on the primary side, the medium may escape
as steam at a temperature of more than 100°C. Danger of burns.

-

8.3 Restarting after substation shutdown

If the substation is to be turned o for a long period of time (i.e.
without power) in order to save energy, then proceed with restart as
for the rst commissioning. Flushing of the system is recommended.

9.3 Heat exchanger maintenance

The following is a list of important activities that should be performed
during maintenance. Additional information is included in the at­tached manufacturer’s instructions.

This abstract only provides information about the required steps. It
is important in any case to comply with all relevant legal and tech­nical regulations and requirements pertaining to local conditions
and regulations (e.g. the home owner, district heating utilities, etc.)

Fittings:
In general, the ttings used are maintenance free. During mainte­nance, the functionality of hand wheels or levers should be tested
in terms of ease of use by opening and closing. This will protect the
ball, plates and valve seats against dirt and limescale deposits. See
the manufacturer’s instructions for the most common components
in Annex I.

Heat exchanger:
Heat exchangers are designed for long-term use. Due to relatively
high temperatures, in particular cases lime and other deposits may
appear on the inner surface.
In case of reduced performance, the heat exchanger should be
cleaned. For detailed information, please refer to the heat exchanger
instructions.

Water quality:
To ensure maximum heat exchanger performance and lifetime, fol­low the Danfoss “Guideline to Water Quality for Copper Brazed Plate
Heat Exchanger” – VJ.KV.D3.02 or a newer version.

9.4 Maintenance validation

Following maintenance work but before turning on the substation,
please note the following:

• Check the tightness of all previously loosened
threaded connections

• Verify that all previously removed components
have been reinstalled correctly

• Ensure that all tools, materials and other equipment used
during maintenance have been removed from the work area

• Clean up the work area, remove any spilled substances
and remove any waste from material processing

• Make sure that the system and all unit safety devices
are working properly again

10.1 Safety

WARNING! Risk of injury!

Improper troubleshooting can lead to serious personal injury and
/ or property damage. Therefore troubleshooting of malfunctions
may be performed only by trained and authorised personnel!

10.2 Steps to take in the event of malfunction

In summary:

• Immediately stop the substation using the emergency stop
function when there are faults that can cause immediate
danger to persons, property and / or operational security.

• Switch OFF the substation when there are faults that do not
pose such dangers. Additionally, interrupt the power supply to
the unit and secure against reconnection.

• Immediately inform superior about fault.

• Request authorised personnel to determine the nature and
extent of the disorder and the cause of the malfunction,
and to repair the malfunction.

11.0 Spare parts

Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer.

WARNING!

Incorrect or faulty spare parts and / or components from other
manufacturers may cause serious damage to and/or malfunction
or failure of the substation.

Using non-approved spare parts will invalidate all warranty, service,
damage and/or liability claims against the manufacturer or its agents,
distributors and representatives.

When ordering spare parts, always specify:

• Substation type

• Serial / production number

• Part number / article number (if available)

• Quantity

• Name

• Desired shipping method (post, freight, sea, air, express)

• Shipping address

• If needed, provide a sketch or photo with remarks

Spare part orders without the above specications may not be ful­lled. In the absence of a desired shipping method, the shipping
method will be at the discretion of the supplier.

In the annex, you can nd a list of the most important suppliers of
purchased components, where spare parts may be requested follow­ing the expiry of the warranty. In such a case, provide the manufac­turer with comprehensive information about the used parts so that
a replacement can be oered.
