This provides increased heat-transfer capacity compared with the CE520 20-plate model while retaining the same compact plate-loading arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to save installation time on site, the complete hydraulic assembly arrives pre-built within a compact insulated enclosure, providing a neat and practical alternative to building a plate loading arrangement from individual components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable With or Without Differential Temperature Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CE530 is available either \u003cstrong\u003ewith or without the ENVIGOR Differential Temperature Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the control arrangement to be selected to suit the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ENVIGOR DT Controller monitors the temperature of both the plate heat exchanger and the hot water cylinder and controls when the Plate Loading Kit circulation pump is allowed to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller uses two PT1000 temperature sensors. The \u003cstrong\u003ePHE sensor (S1)\u003c\/strong\u003e is supplied pre-mounted within the plate heat exchanger insulation jacket, while the \u003cstrong\u003eDHW sensor (S2)\u003c\/strong\u003e is installed into a suitable sensor pocket within the hot water cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe required temperature differential between the plate heat exchanger and cylinder can be adjusted between \u003cstrong\u003e2–12K\u003c\/strong\u003e. The controller also incorporates an adjustable minimum PHE temperature setting between \u003cstrong\u003e20–100°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe circulation pump is only allowed to operate when the plate heat exchanger has reached the selected minimum temperature and is hotter than the cylinder by the selected differential. A typical plate loading arrangement may use a temperature differential of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e5°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis helps prevent the circulation pump from running when there is no useful heat available and reduces the risk of stored heat within the cylinder being transferred back towards the primary heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the \u003cstrong\u003eENVIGOR Differential Temperature Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e is selected, the Plate Loading Kit does not require a separate demand signal from the heat source to operate.
