Fact Sheet

MAKE UP LINE Substations

A high performance system for make up, connecting to the secondary side of heating circuits

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

•• Protection of the heating circuit at overpressure

•• Pressure maintaining in heating system in very strict limits

•• Controlled filling up of atmospheric tank and of the heating circuit

•• Short delivery time, easy to install, minimal location site

Application

The Make Up Line is a range of systems mounted on the secondary side (on the interior building circuit) of district heating systems or thermal plants with maximum temperature of 115 °C and PN 6 / PN 10. This system is suitable for maintaining between an overpressure given by water dilatation and an under pressure limit given by loses of water from different reasons in secondary heating circuit. The dimensioning of components in size and type is done with a calculation method developed by Schmidt-Bretten, member of Danfoss Group.

Function

The Make Up system has the function to discharge the soft water into an atmospheric tank via pressure relief valve(s) if the heating circuit develops a pressure value over the maximum set value or has the function to fill up the heating installation circuit via Make Up pump(s) if the pressure decreases below the minimum set value. The volume of filling up water or the leakage water from heating circuit is automatically replaced in water tank via solenoid valve.

Also, the system is able to protect the pump in case of water lack, can assure a sequential start of pumps, is able to stop functioning pumps in case of pipe breaking, can make automate switching on the second pump in case of failure function of the first, assures the permanent monitoring of the water level in the atmospheric tank (minimum, normal and maximum) and assures the filtering of water.

The entire system has an electric and control panel connected to a pressure sensor and two level switches, and function of received values commands the excess pressure valve(s), the pump(s) or the solenoid valve opening/ closing.

Models

The Make Up system is available for a wide range of standardized heating capacities between 500 kW and 8000 kW and for static pressures between 15 mwc and 60 mwc.

It has to be emphasized that this system is designed as an efficient two in one pressure controller where control is made automatic.

For all usually requests and for the easier way of choosing the adequate equipment, our specialists come with standard solutions as shown in the examples of the Make Up standard range table. Although, other tailored made equipment may be available on demand.

Construction and installation

The pressure sensor, the closed pressure vessel, the level switches and manometers are standard given for all Make Up usually models. The pumps are made of stainless steel. The atmospheric tank is made of steel. The system equipment as valves, check valves, strainers are made of brass. The pipes of the system are made of steel. The connections are made by flange with gaskets, external and internal thread according to diameter. In the construction can be integrated optional modules for communications via standardized RS485.

The MAKE UP LINE is delivered as a unitary system, ready to be installed.
