A relief valve is located at pump
suction limiting water circuit
pressure at 3 bar.
Nitrogen pressure inside of the
expansion tank must be equal to the
geometric height of the installation
+ 0.5 bar (in order to avoid air
entering in the water circuit)

Expansion tank must be inflated
with nitrogen. Pressure must be
checked yearly.
For a good pump operation, pump
suction pressure must be between
0.5 and 2.5 bar when pump runs.
