Commissioning of Hot Water Calorifier
Close the drain valve.
Fill the secondary pipework full of water.
Commission the cold water booster set and/or pressure reducing valve and set to the correct
pressure. Ensure pressure does not exceed design data.
Ensure auto-air vent is operational.
Check insulation of each heater circuit within the heater.
Check all electrical connections and ensure they are tight.
8.2. Start-Up and Commissioning Procedures
Check Potable Water Feed pressure from Booster Pump Set.
Check and record megger readings between phases and earth.
8.2.1. HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT
1. Set Control Thermostat to 50C with High Temperature Limit Cutout to 40-45C
2. Set Auto/Off/Test button to ON
3. Check Low Water Level lamp indication comes on when vessel has water below low water
cutout level. Check BMS contact for low water level.
4. Close all circuit breakers. Set Auto/Off/Test button to OFF and apply power to unit. Press Reset
button.
5. Fill vessel and low water level lamp should return should be off after pressing Reset button.
6. Check unit is full of water and that there are no leaks.
7. Turn Auto/Off/Test switch to Test and push and hold button. Heater running lamp should
illuminate. Check BMS contact for calorifier running.
8. Turn Auto/Off/Test switch to Auto. The Auto On lamp should illuminate and stage(s) on
lamp(s) thereafter. Check BMS contact for Auto On.

9. Calorifier will heat up and should trip at High Temperature Limit cutout setting. High Limit
lamp should illuminate and Automatic On and Stages On lights should go out. Check BMS
contact for high temperature & Auto On.
8.2.2. SETTING OPERATING TEMP
1. Increase High Limit Thermostat to ~ 700C and push Reset button. Calorifier should return to
heating duty.
2. Turn Auto/Off/Test switch to OFF, isolate power supply, set control Thermostat to desired
temperature (~ 600C) and replace cover. Check BMS contact for stopped.
3. Calorifier is switched on and put in Auto service.
4. Check final vessel temperature and, if required, alter thermostat settings until correct running
condition is achieved.
5. Open Secondary Flow and Return Valves.
6. When the calorifier is full switch “ON” the main isolator and put the switch in manual mode.
Allow the unit to heat up and put the switch in “AUTO” mode.
7. Adjust the temperature thermostat gradually and ensure that the correct Operating
temperature is maintained by it.
8. Carefully open the secondary flow and return valves.
9. Switch on secondary re-circulation pumps.
10. Check that all gaskets are effective when the unit is operating - some bolt tightening may be
necessary after the unit has been first heated and subsequently from time to time.
11. Following installation and commissioning it is advisable to remove, clean and re-assemble any
strainers.
12. Adjust the high limit controller and check operation.
13. Ensure that vessel is never subjected to vacuum condition.
