General Information
CAUTION!
Danger of scalding due to hot water!
Due to external circulation in the primary circuit, water with a temperature of up to 90 °C
can leak out at the dispensing connection.
–No external pumps are permitted to be
installed between the fresh water module
and the buffer tank.
–The fresh water module is not permitted to
be connected to a heating cycle distributor.

The fresh water station is (optionally) equipped
with a circulation pump. Three possible operating
modes are stored in the controller to operate the
circulation pump (also see the operating instructions of the controller).
n Pulse-controlled operation (as necessary /
n Time-dependent operation:
n Temperature-dependent operation:
Any of the operating modes can be combined, e.g.
time-dependent and temperature-dependent operation. In this case, circulation is only active if the
temperature falls below the temperature on the circulation temperature probe and the time window is
active. Outside this time window, the circulation
pump can be activated via a dispensing pulse if
pulse-controlled operation is also activated.
Circulation operation
requirement):
Actuating a hot water dispensing connection
for a short time (dispensing impulse: ~2 seconds) starts the circulation pump. The circulation pump then runs for a few minutes (adjustable).
Operation of the circulation pump can be
adjusted on a weekly timer within a freelyselectable period. In this operating mode, circulation begins at the start of the period that is
set. Circulation is deactivated after the set
period expires.
In this operating mode, circulation is only
started if the temperature falls below the minimum temperature that can be set on the circulation temperature probe within the operation
period. Circulation is deactivated after the
adjustable target temperature is reached or
after the set period expires.
NOTICE!
In the delivered state, circulation is not activated (see the operating instructions of the
controller). If the REMKO circulation pump is
installed, the operating mode must be activated
urgently. The speed of the circulation pump
must be specified via the PWM signal. ( Factory setting: 0 % ).

Maximum dispensing medium flow rate
The following diagram shows the maximum dispensing medium flow rate depending on the storage tank
temperature; this assumes a pre-set hot water temperature of 45 °C at the dispensing connection. The integrated controller prevents the temperature from decreasing as long as the maximum medium flow rate is not
exceeded.

Boundary conditions:
Cold water temperature: 10 °C,

side of the fresh water station: 1000 mbar
The following examples explain the relationships
between the individual variables of the hot water
temperature, the dispensing medium flow rate and
the buffer tank temperature, and show how these
affect the transmission capacity of the fresh water
station.
The hot water temperature that is set in the
Smart Control controller (S 08 probe) is the reference temperature for the buffer tank. Factory
setting: 45 °C.

Setting the Temperature
Set the required (maximum) domestic hot water temperature on the controller under "Para".
To ensure that scalding cannot occur at the water valve, the maximum hot water temperature must not
exceed 60 °C.
Primary side
The temperature required in the buffer tank on the primary side depends on the desired hot water temperature and the required dispensing quantity. The temperature in the buffer tank must be at least 5 K above the
required hot water temperature.
Secondary side
The possible dispensing medium flow rate [l/min] on the water valve depends on the hot water temperature
that is set in the controller and the temperature that is available in the storage tank.
The recommended maximum domestic water medium flow rate through the fresh water module is 25 l/min.
The following table shows the relationship between the storage tank temperature and the maximum dis-
pensing medium flow rate that is connected when the temperature on the valve is 45°C (e.g. single-lever
mixer). If the hot water temperature that is set on the Controller is higher than 45 °C, the dispensing medium
flow rate consists of a mixture of hot and cold water.
The transmission capacity that is specified for this is required to warm the water quantity of the dispensing
medium flow rate [l/min] from 10 °C to 45 °C.
