Tomorrow's Technology in Today's Flamcomat

Transcription

1 Tomorrow's Technology in Today's Flamcomat The Flamcomat is a modern, pump-driven pressurisation unit. Thanks to its sophisticated construction we have made it possible to incorporate important functions into one compact unit. The Flamcomat consists of a pump unit and a pressureless vessel. This modular expansion system can be expanded with additional vessels and accessories from our comprehensive range. In this way we can tailor the equipment precisely to the needs of your system. The Flamcomat is suitable for any size of heating installation and for both refrigeration and airconditioning installations. The Flamcomat makes sure that the system pressure remains within precise limits and that the system is topped-up automatically should there be any requirements. The venting process is incorporated, dynamic and energy-efficient. Flexvent Super floatvent with air-intake preventer. Steel vessel at atmospheric pressure. Flexible hoses. Lockshield ball valves with drain. Single or double pump configuration. Touch pad control panel. Top-up hose. FLAMCOMAT GB Benefits of the Flamcomat The Flamcomat combines pressure-control unit, dynamic de-aeration and topping-up all in one. Choice of a range of pump modules. Proven de-aeration results, as tested independently by WL / Delft Hydraulics. Expansion fluid is stored at atmospheric pressure in a removable butyl-rubber bladder. 60 Product overview 013 We reserve the right to change designs and technical specifications of our products.

2 Pressurisation and Expansion Automats Connection assembly sensor (optional) The Flamcomat de-aeration process can be performed even more economically. When the pre-set minimum gas volume has been reached, the normal de-aeration process is stopped until the next time the sensor detects an excessive level of gas in the expansion fluid. Atmospheric ventilation. Removable bladder of high-quality butyl-rubber. FLAMCOMAT GB Gas-rich water from the system. De-aerated water to the system. PALL RINGS. Active de-aeration By using an integrated PALL ring box it is possible to de-aerate the installation continuously and completely. The Turbo-vent function significantly increases the de-aeration capacity. Product overview 013 We reserve the right to change designs and technical specifications of our products. 61

3 The Flamcomat is a versatile expansion equipment with supreme technical performance. The de-aeration capacity is not dependent on the circulation speed or the pressure in the system. In systems with a large difference between summer and winter operation, we recommend using a double (load-dependant) pumpunit. Pump discharge line, from expansion vessel to the system. Pressure sensor. Solenoid valve. Safety valve, to protect atmospheric vessel. Sealable filling/draining valve.

4 bar bar Pressurisation and Expansion Automats How the Automat Works 5. Topping-up If the water level in the vessel drops to a critical level, an appropriate amount of water will be carefully pumped into the system from the water mains. This water will be de-aerated (by pressure loss and the PALL rings), before entering the vessel. 1. Cold The automat contains a small amount of water. The automat is still at rest.. Warming up The volume of water and the system pressure increases. The unit responds to this by opening the solenoid valve. Water flows into the pressureless vessel. The water in the vessel is de-aerated due to both the drop in pressure and the presence of the PALL rings. 4. Cooling down The volume of water and the system pressure decreases. The de-aerated water is pumped from the pressureless vessel back into the system. This restores the system pressure Full power When the system has warmed up completely, the vessel will be almost full to capacity C Product overview 013 We reserve the right to change designs and technical specifications of our products. 63

5 FLAMCOMAT - PUMP UNITS For heating and chilled water (cooling) installations. Flamcomats with pump units are used for storage of expansion water, de-aeration and topping up your installation automatically as an integrated controlled unit carried out with state of the art micro-electronics. The easy to use, detachable control unit shows all system operation and fault conditions clearly and conveniently. The control unit can also be used remotely, up to a distance of 500 metres, so that you can view the system from your workstation and may be interfaced with external systems to give a networked control and alarm system. By using Flamco-patented PALL-rings, gas bubbles down to a size of 18 microns can be removed from the system. The PALL-rings have a large adhesive surface, which means that the Flamcomat can eliminate large and small air bubbles from your system. This is described further in the independent research report commissioned from the Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands, which can be obtained from Flamco. State-of-the-art technology gives low power usage, long life and ease of maintenance. Red (RAL 300) epoxy powder coating. Maximum temperature on bladder (EN 13831/8): 70 C.
