Here you can see the old yellow... |
 |
"Wolf" gas heater with
controller and... |
 |
the "Vailllant" boiler. Both had
been replaced after 17 years. |
 |
The BUSO panel collector is an "In
Roof Collector". Therefore you will have some spare
roofing tiles after installation... |
 |
...which will be stacked up in the garden
for now. Does anyone need roofing tiles (Braas,
Taunuspfanne)? |
 |
With an inclined elevator the roofing
tiles were carried downward... |
 |
... and the collector parts upward. |

In the technic room in the cellar it looks
rather bombastic and complicated, but it isn't at all.
The compact type of the construction is based on a mounting
frame which takes up the pumps, slidegate valves etc..
For the storage and the technic installation (without
expansion tanks and without the gas heater) you need a
minimal floor space of less than 1,5 m2 (exactly: 1,02 m x 1,42
m). But in cellars with low ceilings you have to
pay attention for the storage while putting up during
installation. Calculate first! |

Here you can see the "fresh water
station". This heat exchanger prepares fresh hot
water (like an instantaneous water heater). On the
left side in the background the sloping connecting
pieces to the buffer can be seen. Diagonally/sloping
therefore, so that inadvertent warm water losses over
convection are avoided as far as possible.
At the lower edge of this picture you can see the
pumps for warm water and circulation.

The UVR1611 from "Technische
Alternative" is the brain of this installation. You
can easily use and program it by turning and pushing the
scroll wheel. Different user modes prevent changes of
important configuration parameters by accident. Some of
them should be changed by an expert only. |

This is the "Paradigma Modula
II" gas heater with waste heat usage (4..20 kW).
Once configured via the opened control panel there is no
need to touch it again. You can see the white
plastic exhaust tube which is lead through the old
chimney. Plastic is ok, because exhaust gases are at low
temperatures. Condensing water has to be lead to the
waste pipe.
|
 |
If you don't have a waste pipe in the
cellar, as we had, a bucket can only help for a short
time. The bucket will be filled up by 10 l of condensing
water within a day, if it is cold outside and there is a
lot to do for the heater. But I remembered that I had
put two PE tubes into the screed, which lead to the
"Pumpensumpf". So I only needed to chisel a
small slot up to the PE pipe.
