Reflexomat Working Principle
Compressor: Compressor:
Off Off
1. Low Temperature 2. Temperature increase

The unit contains a small amount of water. The unit is in rest. The volume of water, and thus the system pressure, increases.
The controller responds to this by discharging air from the vessel and,
as a result, the expansion water flows into the bladder.
Compressor: Compressor:
Off On
70C 50C
3. Full power 4. Cooling down

By storing increasing amounts of water in the vessel the controller When the volume of water and thus the system pressure decreases,
keeps the system pressure at a constant level. When the system the controller will respond by increasing the airpressure in the vessel
has warmed up completely, the vessel will be almost full to capacity. with displacement of water back into the system as a result. This
restores equilibrium in the system pressure.

The two pumps and two motorised ball valves are actuated in such a way that
For Control Touch:
pressure remains constant within a range of around 0.2 bar. The expansion
water is supplied to or discharged from the depressurised basic vessel in 2 separate
expansion lines.
Water make-up
The volume of discharged free gases and water losses are automatically replenished.
The level measurement is carried out by evaluating the weight of the basic vessel.
Water make-up based on the filling level in the basic vessel is monitored by a
leakage monitor and interrupted in the event of any malfunctions. With the Variomat
2, the signals of a contact water meter can be evaluated (Reflex Fillset with contact
water meter).
Deaeration
A part flow of the heating water is released into the basic vessel and thus degassed.
The deaeration mode can be selected from the following versions:
Continuous deaeration: constant deaeration after startup and repairs in the
supply system, to allow all residual air to be removed from the system.
Follow-up deaeration: activated automatically after continuous deaeration and
performed after every pump operation.
Interval deaeration: performed after a specified schedule.
Note: The useful volume rate is 90 % for the pump controlled pressurisation units.
Therefore according to calculations the required expansion tank size is smaller than
static tank size.
