Description
The Steca TF A603 MCK+ and Steca TF A603 KS+ are fresh water controllers for direct hygienic heating of drinking water using the continuous- flow water heating principle. The Steca TF A603 MCK+ (master) can be connected to a maximum of three Steca TF A603 KS+ (slaves) to form a four-stage fresh water cascade.
Cascading fresh water stations is a good way of using existing standardised, low-cost fresh water stations designed for single and two-family homes to provide the larger draw-off capacities needed for apartment complexes and multi-story residential buildings.
This allows small draw-off volumes to be implemented for large buildings at very good heat transfer ratios because not all of the stations need to be operated at the same time. The reliability of the hot water supply is increased by this because the cascading makes several stations available at the same time.
A new control algorithm in the Steca TF A603 MCK+ and Steca TF A603 KS+ controllers allows the energy in the buffer tank to be transferred to the drinking water circuit in an especially fast and efficient manner. Immediately after initial commissioning the selflearning algorithm in the controllers adapts to the special aspects of each respective system to provide a constant drinking water tempera ture under hygienic conditions.
This is performed with the specific aim of achieving the lowest possible temperature in the return flow to the buffer tank, in order to further increase the efficiency and yields of the solar system. This is supported by a zone feeding function for the buffer tank water, implemented using a 3-way switching valve.
The Steca TF A603 MCK+ also allows control of a circulation pump on a time, temperature or pulse dependent basis.
