PRODUCT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The OKC 200 (250, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1000) NTR/HP stationary tank is designed
for the preparation of hot sanitary water in combination with heat pump.
Reheat can be carried out by the electric heater TJ 6/4″.
DESIGN AND BASIC DIMENSIONS OF THE TANK
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The tank receptacle is welded of steel plate and, as a unit, protected with
enamel that resists to hot water. For additional corrosion protection, two
magnesium anodes are mounted in the upper part of the receptacle and in the
side flange to adjust the electric potential inside the receptacle, thus
reducing the effects of corrosion. Inside the vessel, there is a welded heat
exchanger made of steel pipe with enameled outer coating, and connections of
hot and cold water, circulation, and a thermostat tank.
There is a cleaning and revision aperture on the side of the tank, ending with a flange of 110 mm clearance; the spacing of eight M8 screws is 150 mm. The heater is equipped with a G 1 1/2″ aperture for screwing an additional heater in. This variant is used – if the tank is connected in a system with heat pump – to finish heating water in the upper part of the tank to the desired temperature. Insulation of the receptacle is 50 or 60 mm Freon-free polyurethane foam; the shell of the tank is plastic.

OPERATION AND FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
PUTTING THE TANK INTO OPERATION
To connect the tank to water supply system, hot water heating system or power
supply and, after testing the safety valve (accordingly with the manual
attached to the valve), the tank can be put in operation. Before opening the
power supply, the tank must be filled with water. The process of first heating
must be executed by licensed professional who has to check it. Both the hot
water outlet pipe and safety armature parts may be hot.
Procedure:
- Check the plumbing and electrical installation, including the connection to the hot-water heating system. Check the proper placement of operating and safety thermostat sensors. The sensors must be inserted all the way in; first the operating and then the safety thermostat.
- open the hot water valve on the combination faucet;
- open the cold water inlet valve to the tank
- once water starts draining through the hot water valve, filling of the tank is completed, and the valve must be closed
- should a leak (of the flanged lid) occur, we recommend tightening the screws of the flanged lid.
- when sanitary water is heated with electric energy from hot water heating system, turn off the electricity and open the valves on the heating water inlet and outlet, possibly de-aerate the exchanger. Once the operation restarts, keep flushing the tank until the cloud disappears
- Make sure to fill in properly the warranty certificate.
CONNECTING A TANK TO HOT WATER SYSTEM
- U Shut-off valve
- P1 Safety valve with backflow flap
- P2 Safety valve for heating circuit
- V – Drain valve
- M Manometer
- T Three-way valve
- O Air outlet valve
- ZK Test tap for monitoring the tightness check valve
A heater with a volume exceeding 200 liters at the outlet hot water piping provides combined temperature and pressure safety fittings according to ČSN EN 1490, or the temperature safety fittings fitted with water temperature sensor placed in the heater or other safety valves DN 20, and the opening overpressure compliant with the maximum operating overpressure of the heater vessel. The safety valve does not replace the safety valve on the cold water inlet. No closing, return armature, and filter may be mounted between the heater and the safety valve.
At fixtures with discharge valve for the potential drain of water from the
tank have to be mounted on the cold water inlet of the tank.
The cold water inlet of each individually closable heater must be fitted with
a seal, test tap or plug to check the non-return valve, as well as a non-
return valve and safety valve. Heaters with a volume of more than 200 liters
must also be fitted with a pressure gauge. Each independently closing tank
must be further provided on the hot water inlet with a test valve, backflow
valve, safety valve and manometer.
PLUMBING FIXTURE
Power water connects to pipes with 3/4″ thread in the bottom part of the tank.
Blue – cold water inlet; red – hot water outlet. For potential disconnection
of the tank, the sanitary water inlets and outlets must be provided with screw
coupling Js 3/4″. The safety valve is mounted on the cold water inlet
identified with a blue ring.
Every hot sanitary water pressure tank shall be equipped with a membrane
spring loaded with a safety valve. Nominal clearance of safety valves is
defined by the standard. Tanks are not equipped with a safety valve. The
safety valve shall be easily accessible and fitted as close as possible to the
tank. The inlet pipes must have at least the same clearance as the safety
valve. The safety valve is placed high enough to secure the dripping water
drain by gravity. We recommend mounting the safety valve onto a branch pipe.
Easier exchange without the necessity of draining water from the tank. Safety
valves with fixed pressure settings from the manufacturer are used for the
assembly. The starting pressure of the safety valve must be identical to the
maximum allowed pressure of the tank, and at least 20 % higher than the
maximum pressure in the water main (Table 7). If the water main pressure
exceeds such value, a reduction valve must be added to the system. No closing
armature may be mounted between the tank and the safety valve. During the
assembly, follow the guide provided by the safety equipment manufacturer.
It is necessary to check the safety valve each time before putting it into operation. It is checked by the manual moving of the membrane from the seat, turning the make-and-break device button always in the direction of the arrow. After being turned, the button must click back into a notch. Proper function of the make-and-break device results in water draining through the safety valve outlet pipe. In regular operation, such a check needs to be carried out at least once a month, and after each shutdown of the tank longer than 5 days. Water may be dripping off the drain pipe of the safety valve; the pipe must be open into the air, pointed down; environment temperatures must not drop below zero. When draining the tank, use the recommended drain valve. First of all, close water inlet in the tank.
Find the necessary pressure values in below Table 7. A backflow valve must be fitted on the inlet pipe to ensure the right operation of safety valve that prevents spontaneous heater draining of the tank and hot water penetration back into the water main. We recommend that the hot water distribution from the tank is as short as possible in order to reduce heat losses. At least one demountable joint must be mounted between the tank and every supply pipe. Adequate piping and fittings with sufficiently dimensioned maximum temperature and pressure values must be used.
Tanks must be provided with a discharge valve mounted on the cold sanitary water inlet to the tank for potential disassembly or repair. When assembling the security equipment, follow the standard.

CONNECTION OF TANK TO HOT WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The tank is placed on the floor next to the heating source or in its
proximity. The heating circuit shall be connected to marked tank exchanger
inputs and outputs, and bleeder valve installed at the highest point. It is
necessary to install a filter into the circuit in order to protect pumps,
three-way valve, backflow flaps and the exchanger from sedimentation. It is
recommended to flush the heating circuit before the assembly. All wiring
connections must be properly insulated from heat. If the system works with
priority heating of HUW using a three-way valve, always follow the
installation instructions of the three-way valve’s manufacturer.

CLEANING OF TANK AND EXCHANGE OF ANODE ROD
Repetitive water heating causes limestone sediment on both the enameled tank
walls and chiefly the flange lid. The sedimentation depends on the hardness of
water heated, its temperature, and amount of hot water consumed.
We recommend checking and cleaning the vessel from scale and eventual
replacement anode rod after two years of operation
The anode life is theoretically calculated for two years of operation; however, it changes with water hardness and chemical composition in the place of use. Based on such an inspection, the next term of anode rod exchange may be determined. Have a company in charge of service affairs deal with the cleaning and exchanging of the anode. When draining water from the tank, the combination faucet valve for hot water must be open, preventing the occurrence of under-pressure in the tank receptacle which would stop water from draining.
To prevent the occurrence of bacteria (e.g. Legionella pneumophila) within stack heating it is recommended, if absolutely necessary, to increase the temperature of hot sanitary water (HSW) periodically for a transitional period of time to at least 70 °C. It is also possible to make use of another way of disinfecting HSW.
