Description
The storage tanks are employed for
the storage of hot water in all types of
warm water central heating systems
(solid fuel/oil-fired boilers, heat pumps,
solar energy systems, gas/electric
instantaneous water heaters) within
enclosed spaces and for the storage of
cold water for cooling processes or heat
recovery purposes.
The tank volume can be adapted to
your particular needs by connecting
several storage tanks to form batteries.
The storage tanks may be used
universally, either as parallel storage
(hydraulic switch) or series storage.
The insulation of the HPS 500 and
MPS 800/1000 hot water tanks consists of
a 100 mm thick layer of silver-grey flexible
foam.
All storage tanks are produced from
high-quality steel acc. to DIN EN
10025/10111, and are provided with an
anti-rust coating on the outside.
Immersion heater elements can be
screwed into the in-built 6/4" socket in
the storage tanks.
For retrofitting a fin-tube heat
exchanger a D240 blank flange cover is
included.
The storage tanks have 9 (11 for the
MPS 1000) 6/4" IG connection threads
as well as inflow restrictors.
To enable to use of sensor/thermometer
immersion sleeves, the unit incorporates
four 1/2" socket screw threads.
Decommissioning
Temporary shutdown
1. Disconnect the electrical connection
at all poles.
2. Drain the tank in areas where it is at
risk from frost and before the
onset of winter.
3. Then also drain all cold water pipes
leading to the heating elements
and to the unit itself as well as all
water-carrying valves, fittings
and lines (even the heating circuit
= register) back as far as the frost proof section of the domestic water
system (domestic water connection).
! ATTENTION
When emptying the tank, hot
water may escape!
! ATTENTION
When placing the tank back into
service, ensure that it is filled with
water and that water which is free
of bubbles is escaping from the
valves!
Permanent decommissioning
Ensure that equipment and components
are disposed of in accordance with local
regulations, e.g. through authorised
disposal and recycling specialists or at
collection points.
REMKO GmbH & Co. KG or your
contractual partner will be pleased to
provide a list of certified firms near you.

Care and maintenance
Care
■
Only clean the units with a damp
cloth (adding, for instance, a liquid
household cleaner).
Do not use any sharp, scouring
or solvent-based cleaners.
Maintenance
■
We recommend concluding
a maintenance contract with
a specialist firm, which includes
annual maintenance services.
NOTE
This ensures the operational
reliability of your equipment!
■
Regularly check the function of
the safety valve.
The expansion water amount at maximum
heat (approx. 80°C) represents approx.
3.5% of the tank capacity.
When the safety valve test knob is
lifted or turned to the “Test” position,
the water must flow unhindered out of
the safety valve body into the drainage
funnel.
! ATTENTION
This can cause the cold water
supply and parts of the storage tank
connection fitting to become hot!
If the tank is not heated or when warm
water is removed, no water should be
dripping from the safety valve. If this
does occur, either the pressure in the
water pipe is greater than the permitted
value, or the safety valve is defective.
If the pressure in the water pipe is higher
than permitted, a pressure relief valve
must be used.
Installation instructions
for qualified personnel
General instructions prior to installation
■
Ensure that the area in which the
unit is to be operated is free of frost
and easily accessible for required
maintenance, repairs and even
for the possible replacement of
the unit (e.g. avoid overly narrow
thoroughfares and doorways).
■
When installing the storage tank in
unusual locations, such as in lofts,
residential units with floors that
are sensitive to water, storerooms,
etc. take account of the possibility
of leaking water, and ensure that
a facility is in place to catch the
water, including appropriate drainage
methods.
■
The unit may only be positioned and
operated on level surfaces.
7
REMKO HPS 500, MPS 800, MPS 1000
■
When planning the unit's installation
surface and selecting the installation
location, note the total weight of the
storage tank, including the weight
of the water (the nominal capacity),
in order to ensure that the statics
of the load-bearing surface are not
exceeded.
■
Ensure proper clearance from firing
systems.
■
Make sure that units with enclosures,
which are installed in small, tight
spaces or in suspended ceilings
have the connection block (water
and electric connections and heater
installation) still freely accessible and
that there us no buildup of heat.
■
Leave at least 500mm of space
free for the removal of the heating
flange.
■
Check the contents of the packaging
for completeness and check the
unit for visible transport damage.
Immediately notify your contractual
partner of any deficiencies.
NOTE
Installation may only be performed
by authorised specialists.
Preparation of the hot water must
be in compliance with the latest
applicable standards.
Installation
General Information
■
Do not continually top up the water
level in the storage tank. This will
avoid corrosion damage to the tank.
■
If aggressive water is an issue, please
note that special models of the tank
can be tested (address all queries to
your contractual partner)
■
In hard water areas, connect
a standard descaling device upstream
of the tank.
■
The unit must be assembled on site.
■
For all connecting sockets, ensure
that the thread is fully engaged.
! CAUTION
The storage tank is not suitable for
preparing drinking water!
8
■
It is essential to bleed the storage
tank.
Central heating connection
Before being placed into service,
the heat distribution system must be
flushed in order to remove any soiling
(e.g. scale) from the heating circuit.
You have the option to connect another
heat generator (e.g. a solar-thermal
system) using a fin-tube heat exchanger
(special accessory) in a closed system.
! ATTENTION
However, under no circumstances
may the supply and return lines
be blocked, as otherwise the water
in the register will not have room
to expand and there is a risk of
damage to the heat exchanger!
NOTE
Installation may only be performed
by authorised specialists.
Storage tank with electric booster
heaters (immersion heater elements)
Electric booster heaters (immersion
heater elements) must be equipped
with a safety temperature limiter
which stops heating the storage tank
at a temperature of max. 130°C.
The choice of connection components
(connecting pieces, circulation, safety
valve combination, etc.) must be such
that, in the event of a malfunction of
the temperature control, the connection
components will maintain temperatures
of 130°C, avoiding possible damage.
■
Use one of the 1 1/2" sockets to install
an electric booster heater
(see chapter “Connection examples”).
Connection examples On the MPS
1000, either a solid fuel boiler or rather
one or two immersion heater elements
can be fitted.
■
Please note that the electric
booster heater must not be used as
a permanent heating system.
■
Please note that the inflow restrictor
must first be bent back with a pipe or
similar.
■
It is essential to bleed the storage
tank.
■
A contactor is required for automatic
activation of the electric booster
heater via the heat pump manager.

Fitting the insulation
To install the insulation, proceed as follows:
1. Open the packaging and lift the
insulation section with the holes in
it, with the matting on the inside,
over the connections. In order to
avoid danger to those under your
supervision (e.g. children suffocating),
all packaging must be disposed of
immediately or else cut up.
2. Engage the section of insulation-with
no holes into the hooked closure
strip of the previously attached
insulation section.
3. Snap the supplied installation strip
cover over the hooked closure strip.
This will prevent the hooked closure
strip from opening during the rest of
the installation process.
4. After attaching the installation strip
cover, the insulation can be sealed
with the second hooked closure strip.
If the insulation consists of three
sections, repeat the two previous
steps.
10
5. Insert the round section of insulation
on top of the tank and fix it in place
by pressing down lightly.
! CAUTION
In order to achieve optimum heat
insulation, there must not be an air
gap between the round section and
the insulation.
6. Position the insulation cover and
attach it properly to the insulation
using the openings in the top of the
hooked strip.
7. Attach the supplied collars to the
connections.
If necessary, bend the clamping
tongues of the collar into the centre.
This ensures that the collars are
properly seated on the pipes and
sockets.
If fitting the collars later on, the
material must be cut through at
the predetermined breaking point
specified for the collars.
11
REMKO HPS 500, MPS 800, MPS 1000
The insulation must not be bent or
pushed in, as this risks damage (stress
whitening). Any stress whitening which
occurs through improper handling can
be carefully removed or minimised with
a hot-air blower.
! CAUTION
Depending on the heating output
of the hot-air blower, it may be
necessary to maintain a minimum
distance between the insulation
and the blower. Naked flames are
prohibited.
Fitting the collars
When fitting the collars, please
note the following steps:
NOTE
During operation, the tank
temperature must not consistently
exceed 110°C.
1. Remove the collars from the
packaging in their delivered
condition.
2. Bend the clamping tongues inwards
at an acute angle.
12
3. Slide the completed collar
centrally on to the socket/pipe.
6. Adjust the O-ring as necessary.
4. Fit the O-ring onto the socket/pipe,
starting from the bottom.
5. Slide the O-ring over the top edge
of the socket or pipe.
7. Attach the completed collar to
the connections.
