The integration of an accumulator tank into the system is abso-
lutely necessary. The 1st BImSchV is definitive in determining the
required volume for the accumulator tank. The guidelines in this
ordinance state that a volume of 55 litres per kW of water heating
power is to be provided in the accumulator tank. In the case of the
SENSO M H
O, this represents: 5.0 kW x 55 litres/ kW = 275 litres.

Because this is not a standard market size, the next largest accu-
mulator tank with a volume of 300 litres should be selected.
The following example calculation can be used to provide assi-
stance in determining the required volume of the accumulator tank:
The following assumptions have been made here:
• Size of accumulator tank: 300 litres (around 300 kg of water)
• Water temperature in the accumulator tank at start: 30°
• Water temperature in the accumulator tank at end: 60°
• Temperature difference 30° (corresponds to 30 K)
• No heat extraction from the accumulator tank during the
heating process using the SENSO M H
