Product solutions for pressure maintenance technology

Make-up technology

Make-up technology ensures that the heat transfer medium in a system is always available in sufficient quantity and quality. This is required in heating and cold water systems to achieve optimal heat transport with minimal loss during transfer.

Water make-up systems in supply technology systems

A key prerequisite for reliable heat transfer and low-loss heat transmission is a heat transfer medium that is available in sufficient quantity and suitable quality. Reflex make-up systems help prevent insufficient water levels and air-related problems and provide system separation from drinking water networks. Our systems combine three functions: system separation, water treatment and monitoring of make-up water.

Water make-up systems

  • Monitoring system pressure and make-up for insufficient pressure
  • Reliably preventing air problems with a sufficient water reserve
  • Secure make-up from potable water systems in accordance with DIN EN 1717 and DIN 1988

For long-term, stable operation of many different types of system

Insufficient water in heating or cooling systems can impair the function of the pressure maintenance system in use. This can result in air pockets, circulation problems, cavitation at the circulation pumps and, in the worst case, system failure. For this reason, make-up systems are recommended that also serve as pressure monitoring devices.

With regard to monitoring and controlling make-up, a distinction is made between manual and automatic make-up systems. With automatic make-up, the control system ensures a suitable filling level and pressure in the system, while with manual make-up, control of the make-up process is the responsibility of the operator.

If make-up is supplied via a public drinking water network, the supply network must be protected by separating the drinking water network from the service water application.

With the Fillset and Fillcontrol product ranges, Reflex offers solutions for manual and automatic make-up.

Water treatment technology

  • Plant protection through the reduction of limescale deposits
  • Reduction of limescale formation and corrosion caused by chlorides, sulphates, nitrates and phosphates
  • Simple and compact installation as well as easy handling due to simple cartridge replacement

Reliably high heating water quality

Modern boilers are expected to withstand constantly increasing heating surface loads leading to an increased risk of deposits, especially limescale. Performance is then reduced and, in the worst case, boilers can become irreparably damaged. To prevent this, Reflex Fillsoft offers a water treatment programme which treats filling and make-up water according to standards. Reflex recommends Fillsoft for any water make-up system because it significantly contributes to system safety and requires little effort.

In addition to the Fillsoft variants purely for water softening, Fillsoft Zero is also available for water demineralisation. This type of water treatment is often recommended when using aluminium materials in heat generators. It is based on the Fillsoft housing which can then be specifically fitted with the relevant cartridges for softening or demineralisation.

Water make-up systems and water treatment technology

A heat transfer medium needs to be constantly available at a sufficient quantity and quality no matter what the size of the system. Local requirements such as water quality also need to be taken into account. Reflex make-up and water treatment technologies always keep you on the safe side.
