1. Utangulizi

1.1 Bidhaa Zaidiview

The Flamco Airfix A 35 Liter Drinking Water Expansion Vessel (Model 14670) is a crucial component designed for use in drinking water heating systems. Its primary function is to absorb volume changes in the system caused by temperature fluctuations, thereby maintaining stable pressure and protecting system components. This vessel is constructed and tested according to DIN 4807 T5 standards, ensuring reliability and safety.

Key features include external and internal plastic coating for durability and hygiene, a flow distributor for efficient connection, and an external thread for secure wall mounting. It holds the DIN-DVGW approval mark: NW-0411AU2095 and is approved according to the EU Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG.

1.2 Taarifa za Usalama

ONYO: Improper installation, operation, or maintenance can lead to serious injury or property damage. Read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation.

Hakikisha kanuni na kanuni zote za eneo lako zinafuatwa wakati wa usakinishaji.
Ufungaji unapaswa kufanywa tu na wafanyikazi waliohitimu.
Always depressurize the system before performing any maintenance or service.
Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure or temperature specified for the vessel.
Protect the vessel from freezing temperatures.

2. Kuweka na Kuweka

2.1 Kufungua

Carefully remove the expansion vessel from its packaging. Inspect the vessel for any signs of damage during transit. Do not install a damaged vessel. Retain packaging materials for potential future transport or return.

2.2 Kuweka

The Flamco Airfix A vessel is designed for wall mounting.

Select a suitable location near the drinking water heating system, ensuring adequate space for installation and future maintenance.
Ensure the wall structure can safely support the weight of the vessel when full (approximately 9 kg empty + 35 kg water = 44 kg).
Use appropriate wall anchors and screws (not supplied) to securely fasten the mounting bracket (if separate) or directly mount the vessel using its integrated hanging points.
Mount the vessel in an upright position with the system connection facing downwards.

2.3 Muunganisho wa Mfumo

Connect the expansion vessel to the drinking water heating system using the external threaded connection.

Ensure all connections are clean and free of debris.
Use appropriate sealing materials (e.g., PTFE tape or hemp with sealing paste) on the threads to ensure a watertight connection.
Tighten connections firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the threads or the vessel.
The vessel should be installed with a flow distributor (T-piece) to ensure proper water circulation through the vessel.

2.4 Pre-charge Pressure Check

The vessel comes pre-charged from the factory. However, it is essential to verify and adjust the pre-charge pressure to match the system's static pressure at the point of installation.

Before connecting the vessel to the system, check the pre-charge pressure using a suitable pressure gauge at the air valve (usually located at the top or side of the vessel).
Adjust the pre-charge pressure to be slightly below (e.g., 0.2 bar) the static pressure of the drinking water system at the vessel's connection point.
Use a bicycle pump or air compressor to add air, or depress the valve stem to release air, until the correct pressure is achieved.
Once the pre-charge pressure is set, connect the vessel to the system and fill the system with water.

3. Kanuni za Uendeshaji

3.1 Utendaji

The Flamco Airfix A expansion vessel operates on the principle of a flexible membrane separating a water chamber from a pre-charged air chamber. As the water in the drinking water heating system heats up, it expands. This expanded water enters the vessel, compressing the air in the air chamber and causing the membrane to flex. This absorption of expanded water prevents excessive pressure buildup in the system. When the water cools down and contracts, the pre-charged air pushes the water back into the system, maintaining stable pressure.

3.2 Masharti ya Kawaida ya Uendeshaji

Under normal operating conditions, the vessel will silently absorb and release water as the system temperature fluctuates. There should be no noticeable noise or vibration from the vessel itself. The system pressure gauge should remain within the acceptable operating range for your drinking water heating system.

Maximum Operating Temperature (Membrane): 70 °C
Upeo wa Shinikizo la Uendeshaji: Refer to system specifications and local regulations.

4. Miongozo ya Matengenezo

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Flamco Airfix A expansion vessel and the overall drinking water heating system.

4.1 Ukaguzi wa Mara kwa Mara

Visual Check (Annually): Inspect the vessel for any signs of external corrosion, leaks, or physical damage.
Connection Check (Annually): Verify that all connections are secure and free from leaks.

4.2 Pre-charge Pressure Verification

The pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel should be checked and adjusted annually, or more frequently if system pressure fluctuations are observed.

MUHIMU: Before checking the pre-charge pressure, the system must be depressurized and the vessel isolated from the water supply.
Close the isolation valve to the expansion vessel.
Drain the water from the vessel by opening a nearby tap or drain valve until no more water flows out.
Attach a pressure gauge to the air valve on the vessel.
Read the pressure. If it is below the required static pressure of the system, add air using a pump until the correct pressure is reached. If it is too high, release air.
Once the pressure is correct, close the drain valve, open the isolation valve to the vessel, and repressurize the system.

5. Mwongozo wa Utatuzi

This section provides solutions to common issues that may arise with your expansion vessel. For problems not listed here, or if solutions do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified technician.

Tatizo	Sababu inayowezekana	Suluhisho
System pressure fluctuates excessively.	Incorrect pre-charge pressure, damaged membrane, or undersized vessel.	Check and adjust pre-charge pressure (Section 4.2). If the issue persists, the membrane may be damaged, requiring vessel replacement. Consult a professional to verify vessel sizing.
Water leaks from the air valve.	Damaged internal membrane.	This indicates a failure of the internal membrane. The expansion vessel needs to be replaced.
Low system pressure despite adequate water supply.	Loss of pre-charge pressure in the vessel.	Check and adjust pre-charge pressure (Section 4.2).
Vessel feels heavy and full of water when tapped.	Loss of pre-charge pressure, allowing water to fill the air chamber.	Check and adjust pre-charge pressure (Section 4.2). If water cannot be drained from the air valve, the membrane is likely damaged, and the vessel requires replacement.
