Instantaneous tap water systems
 AquaFlow
 Applications
 AquaFlow is an instantaneous Tap Water System designed to provide Domestic Hot Water in large quantities – up to 1200kW - for applications such as apartment buildings, hospitals, hotels, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, sports centres, prisons, …Different models of AquaFlow are available to fit with any installation arrangement. For instance, AquaFlow operated with a 3-Port or 4-Port valve can be connected to local boilers on site or primary tanks. AquaFlow operated with a 2-Port valve would match requirements of district networks when the  Tap Water System is directly connected to the city pipework.When it comes to the selection of the heat exchanger, Aqua-Flow offers a large choice of possibilities: Plates&Gaskets, Copper Brazed or AlfaNova®: exclusive to Alfa Laval (100% Stainless Steel, Fusion Bonded).
Dependable performance
Since 1923, Alfa Laval has been in the water heating business, and has become a leading manufacturer and supplier.  AquaFlow incorporates a wealth of background experience for secure and reliable hot water production. The components have been carefully selected and tested to perform well in combination with one another.
Principle
On the primary side, AquaFlow has to be fed by a heating source that can be provided by any source of energy: local boiler, district network, primary tank, solar system, …On the secondary side, AquaFlow is connected to the water main (CW) and provides Domestic Hot Water to the distribu-tion pipework when tapping occurs. A circulation pump (PR) is usually used to limit the time needed to deliver Domestic Hot Water to the tap at the right temperature. The circulation pump maintains a minimum flow rate through the heat exchanger and through the distribution pipework.Energy is exchanged through the heat exchanger from the primary to the secondary side.  A temperature sensor (S) located at the secondary side outlet checks the temperature and adjusts the control valve (VA) accordingly in order to always maintain hot water at the right temperature. The piping arrangement of the control valve pro-vides tight control of the energy entering the primary side. AquaFlow with the 3-Port or 4-Port valve follows the Variable  Temperature and Constant Flow Rate principle. In which case, the temperature of the media entering the heat exchanger on the primary side is adapted to the demand detected on the domestic side. This eliminates thermal shock in the heat exchanger and reduces the build-up of limescale in the secon-dary side. The primary pump (PP) maintains a constant flow rate through the heat exchanger.
 AquaFlow
 
In the case of AquaFlow with a 2-Port valve, the heating source enters the heat exchanger at the maximum available tempera-ture and variable flow rate. The 2-Port valve connected to the control equipment will ensure that the right flow rate and thus the right amount of energy is fed into the heat exchanger to always ensure constant water temperature on the secondary side. AquaFlow offers electronic control equipment that provides several user-definable functions to customize the system and ensure precise temperature control.If the water is very hard in the area where the Tap Water System is used, temperature control should always be fitted in order to avoid limescale deposits and the temperature set point on the secondary side should also be limited on the basis of local experience or best practice.  AquaFlow is available with control box (AquaBox/AquaTronic) that can detect and warn the user that scaling is occurring into the heat exchanger. Through this early warning message, the development of limescale can be reduced as the user will be able to plan for the cleaning of the heat exchanger. The Plates&Gaskets heat exchanger can easily be cleaned by opening the plate pack. The Copper Brazed or AlfaNova heat exchangers do not need to be opened because they provide additional connections to perform Cleaning In Place treatment on site.
