USE

The TPK series heating flanges are designed as main heating devices for electric heaters from DZD type OKCE S as secondary heating devices for OKC NTR(R)/BP, OKC NTR/HP, OKC NTRR/HP/SOL and accumulation tanks of heating, solar and other systems. Heating flange can be used to heat water also in other facilities provided the installation instructions are achieved. With their construction, they are only designed to heat water up to tank pressure of 1 MPa and temperature of 110 °C.

DESCRIPTION

Heating flange is an enameled weld of flange and wells. TPK is equipped with a thermostat and a safety fuse with external control and relevant electric installation. The electric wiring is placed underneath a plastic cover.

FUNCTION

After setting the heating temperature between 5 °C – 74 °C, the in-built PTK is unmanned. The thermostat activates heating elements and after reaching the set temperature the thermostat turns off. The operation of the element is indicated with lit up control glow lamps. If the thermostat fails, the safety fuse deactivates power supply if 95 °C is reached. The safety fuse is non- reversible, i.e. that it has to be turned on once the failure is removed.

ADVANTAGES OF USE

Heating flange with elements in steel wells is more resistant in waters rich in calcium, with increased formation of scale.
Placing the elements in steel wells increases the lifetime of the heater tank. Electric potential is better kept at corresponding values.
If the element fails, it can be replaced without draining water from the tank.

ENERGY SAVING

Low water temperature in the heater proves to be especially economic. Therefore, the temperature should be set to be adequate for intended hot water consumption, not higher. This helps to save electricity and prevents lime sediment occurrence.

OPERATION AND TEMPERATURE SETTING

The temperature of water in the heater can be adjusted as needed by the thermostat, either continuously or in three steps as indicated. This allows energetically economic operation. To set the temperature, 3 main marked symbols are used:

accumulator freezing protection
Approx. 60 °C, hot water – to prevent scalding, setting this degree is recommended as it is the economic operation with minimum energy loss and minimum scale occurrence
maximum, approx. 74 °C, hot water

Attention: When the thermostat wheel is in the utmost left position, this is not the zero position nor is the heating turned off.

During day mode operation, the thermostat should not be set to temperatures above 60 °C.

OPERATION PRECONDITIONS

The connection of an electric flange unit must follow the data on the plate (operation pressure, heating time, electric voltage). Connecting to the electrics must follow the scheme on the inside of the protective cover for the particular flange types.

Aside from the electric regulations the conditions of local distribution and water supply plants, as well as assembly and operation conditions, must be followed. If the water is really hard, we recommend installation of water treatment filters preventing the scale occurrence.

These heating elements are suitable for enameled accumulators, double casing tanks, or accumulators coated with either plastic or zinc; they are also suitable for ribbed exchangers. Combination with chromium-nickel tanks is problematic, and therefore not recommended. All elements are suitable for heating drinkable and heating water with operating pressure within 10 bar.

ASSEMBLY AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

During operation, both the heating element and the anode rod must be under water. Necessary thermal flow of heated water must not be prevented. The heating unit is equipped with a safety fuse preventing further water heating at the maximum temperature of 95 °C approximately. It is therefore necessary to select suitable connecting components (pipelines, safety valve combination) that, in case of thermostat defect, resist the maximum temperature of 110 °C.

Both the assembly and installation must be implemented by authorized people only.

Position of installation of TPK series elements Correct

Installation of TPK series

Faulty

Installation of TPK series
Too long flange welded too high. Thermowell under the heating element.

The flange rim must not exceed 130 mm, so that the temperature sensor and the element reach into the tank deep enough. Correct position of a built-in element assures even heating of the tank contents. In front of the flange, a free space depending on the length of the element must be left for the assembly. Scale occurrence lowers functionality; it is therefore necessary, especially with hard water, to take the following measures: Select proper temperature setting; install a device reducing water hardness; regular removal of heater scale.

HEATING UNIT ASSEMBLY

Aside from the installation regulations, the conditions of connection resulting from local distribution and water supply plants must be followed:

Remove protective cover (position 1)
The variant TPK 168-8 requires to fit sealing on the screws, place the heating flange (position 2) and screw on the screws in the flange above the tanks (torque 15 Nm). The variant TPK 210-12 requires to screw 3 auxiliary threaded bars M12x50 evenly on the periphery into 3 threaded holes. Fit on the sealing and place the heating flange (position 2). Then screw the remaining 9 screws M12x30 and fasten it with a cross(torque 15 Nm). Then unscrew the threaded bars and replace them with the remaining 3 screws M12x30 and fasten it (torque 15 Nm).
Carry out electric connection following the scheme (see point 8.5). Warning – do not forget to connect the guard wire. With flanges with selectable output, interconnect the terminal boardsto the required output.
Put on the protective guard and thermostat control. Cover the gap between the heater shell and flange guard with the attached profile.
Commissioning is possible solely when the tank is filled with water.

Heating element assembly and its initial operation can only be implemented by an expert, who takes responsibility for proper implementation and equipment.

The space in front of the electrical heating unit equal to the installation length + 50 mm must be left free for installation, etc.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical connection must be implemented based on the attached scheme. The scheme is placed inside the plastic cover of the heating flange, and it relates to the specific type!

The network voltage must be respected!
All metal parts of the accumulator must meet relevant protective regulations.

The main must have multipole switch with at least 3 mm contact spacing. All switches must be connected to circuit breakers. The supply cable must be supplied into the area of connection via a sealing bushing and secured from shifting, wringing, and tearing out by a clamp.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION

Before electric part connection, the accumulator must be filled with water. During the rating, water must drip off the safety valve.

Attention: Both the hot water outlet pipe and safety armature parts may be hot.

After heating, the set temperature of consumed water should roughly correspond with temperature shown on the thermometer.

INSPECTION, CARE, MAINTENANCE

High calcium content water requires the removal of both scale and calcium sediments after one or two years, implemented by an expert worker. Cleaning may be implemented through the flange opening; a new seal must be used during assembly.

Specially enameled accumulator containers must not get in contact with scale solvents or a lime pump. Eventually, the container must be thoroughly rinsed; its re-heating must follow the method of initial operation.

During the maintenance, protective connection of all metal (conductive) parts of the heater must not be damaged or removed. Neither mechanical means causing abrasion nor paint thinners (nitro, tricholor, etc.) can be used for cleaning. It is best to use a wet cloth with couple drops of a neutral cleaning preparation.

MALFUNCTIONS

Do not attempt to repair the failure yourselves. Seek either expert or service help. It does not take much for an expert to remove the defect. When making a repair appointment, report the type and serial number you find on the performance plate of your heating element.
