Low Loss Header, flanged 700kW, 4" insulated

The Low-Loss Header, also known as a Hydraulic Balancer, is designed to separate the boiler’s circulation from the heating system, suitable for medium- to high-power systems (from 25 kW and above). It is used in setups with one or multiple boilers and various heating circuits like floor heating, radiators, or hot utility water.

Functions & Benefits:

• Flow Separation: Automatically divides the flow between the boiler and heating circuits, eliminating the need for manual balancing of pump flows.
• Additional Functions: Includes a desilter and air vent, providing system cleaning and air removal.
• Protection: Prevents low-temperature corrosion of the boiler caused by low return water temperatures.

Operational Modes:

1. Demand equals boiler output: System operates in balance.
2. Demand less than boiler output (e.g., thermostatic valves closed): Part of the heat returns, signaling the boiler to reduce or switch off.
3. Demand exceeds boiler output: Increased pump suction signals the boiler to increase heat output.

Example Equipment:

Low Loss Header SHE 4" FLANGED

• Max flow: 39 m³/h
• Max power: up to 700 kW
• Connectors: 4 x 4" flanges (DN 100 PN 16)
• Nominal pressure: 10 bar
• Max temperature: 110°C
• Capacity: 65 liters

Advantages for Investors:

• Up to 30% longer boiler service life due to protection from low return water temperature
• Increased comfort with desiltering and aeration
• Up to 30% longer pump lifespan through undisturbed operation
• Much quicker boiler response
• Up to 50% cost savings compared to 3- or 4-way valves
• No system regulation required due to automatic flow management
• Reduction in system claims caused by improper operation or air locking

Variants:

• SHE – LLH: Power range from 40 to 750 kW
• SHE-OC: Insulated with PUR foam and leatherette; powers from 40 to 115 kW (larger units up to 420 kW can be insulated with ROCKWOOL upon request)
• SHE-SP: Stainless steel with a replaceable air separator; powers from 25 to 209 kW

Summary:

The hydraulic balancer ensures a reliable, efficient, and maintenance-friendly heating system, significantly extending equipment lifespan and reducing operational issues.
