Safety notes

Safety Notes – general

• The following instructions refer to the standard design of the substation. Special versions of substations are available on request.
• This operating manual should be read carefully before installation and start-up of the substation. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or faults that result from non-compliance with the operating manual.
• Please read and follow all the instructions carefully to prevent accidents, injury, and property damage. Assembly, start-up, and maintenance work must be performed by qualified and authorized personnel only.
• Please comply with the instructions issued by the system manufacturer or system operator.

Corrosion protection

• All pipes and components are made of stainless steel and brass. The maximum chloride compounds of the flow medium should not be higher than 150 mg/l.
• The risk of equipment corrosion increases considerably if the recommended level of permissible chloride compounds is exceeded.

Energy source

• The substation is designed for district heating as the primary source of energy. However, also other energy sources can be used where the operating conditions allow it and always are comparable to district heating.

Application

• The substation is designed to be connected to the house installation in a frost-free room, where the temperature does not exceed 50 °C and the humidity does not exceed 60%.
• Do not cover or wall up the substation or in any other way block the entrance to the station.

Choice of material

• Choice of materials always in compliance with local legislation.

Safety valve(s)

• We recommend mounting of safety valve(s), however, always in compliance with local regulations.

Connection

• The substation must be equipped with features that ensure that the substation can be separated from all energy sources (also power supply).

Emergency

• In case of danger or accidents – fire, leaks, or other dangerous circumstances – interrupt all energy sources to the station if possible, and seek expert help.
• In case of discolored or bad-smelling domestic hot water, close all shut-off valves on the substation, inform the operating personnel and call for expert help immediately.

• The ball valves on the district heating supply and return should be closed.

Warning of transport damage

• Before substation installation, please make sure that the substation has not been damaged during transport.

IMPORTANT – Tightening of connections

• Due to vibrations during transport, all flange connections, screw joints, and electrical clamp and screw connections must be checked and tightened before water is added to the system.
• After water has been added to the system and the system has been put into operation, re-tighten ALL ALL ALL connections.

Mounting

• Installation must comply with local standards and regulations.
• District heating (DH) – In the following sections, DH refers to the heat source that supplies the substations.

Controls

• DHW temperature control
• DHW temperature control
• There are various types of DHW temperature control used in Danfoss substations.
• DHW temperature should be adjusted to 45-50 °C, as this provides optimal utilization of DH water. At DHW temperatures above 55 °C, the possibility of limescale deposits increases significantly.

Electronic control

• Substations with electronic control must be set in accordance with the manufacturer´s instructions.
• Where the room temperature is controlled by radiator thermostats, it is recommended that thermostats be set for minimum temperature in each room.

Electric 2–way motorized valve

• Actuators with or without safety functions are available for 3-point controls. Spring-return actuators can be used to provide safety shut-off in the event of power failure.

Flow controller with integrated control valve

• The controller is a self-acting flow controller with an integrated control valve.
• The controller closes when set to max. flow is exceeded and can be used in combination with.
• Danfoss electrical actuators with or without safety function.
• Spring return motor can be used as a safety function by power failure.

Domestic hot water pump

Important!

• It is necessary to mount a domestic hot water circulation pump on the water heater to avoid regulation problems.
• The circulation pump can not be switched off, since this will result in regulation problems. (no flow at the sensor).

Other Safety valve

• The purpose of the safety valve is to protect the substation from excessive pressure.
• The blow-off pipe from the safety valve must not be closed. The blow-off pipe outlet should be placed so that it discharges freely and it is possible to observe any dripping from the safety valve.
• It is recommended to check the operation of safety valves at intervals of 6 months. This is done by turning the valve head in the direction indicated.

Maintenance

• The substation requires little monitoring, apart from routine checks. It is recommended to read the energy meter at regular intervals and to write down the meter readings.
• Regular inspections of the substation according to this Instruction are recommended, which should include:

Strainers

• Cleaning of strainers.

Meters

• Checking of all operating parameters such as meter readings.

Temperatures

• Checking of all temperatures, such as DH supply temperature and DHW temperature.

Connections

• Checking all connections for leakages.

Safety valves

• The operation of the safety valves should be checked by turning the valve head in the indicated direction.

Venting

• Checking that the system is thoroughly vented.
• Inspections should be carried out a minimum of every two years.
• Spare parts can be ordered from Danfoss. Please ensure that any enquiry includes the substation serial number.

Authorized personnel only

• Assembly, start-up, and maintenance work must be performed by qualified and authorized personnel only.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting in general

• In the event of operating disturbances, the following basic features should be checked before carrying out actual troubleshooting:
• the substation is connected to electricity,
• the strainer on the DH supply pipe is clean,
• the supply temperature of the DH is at the normal level (summer, at least 60 °C – winter, at least 70 °C),
• the differential pressure is equal to or higher than the normal (local) differential pressure in the DH network – if in doubt, ask the DH plant supervisor,
• pressure on the system – check the HE pressure gauge.

Authorized personnel only

• Assembly, start-up, and maintenance work must be performed by qualified and authorized personnel only.
