Pressurization and Degassing Solution for Chiller and Heating Systems from Flamco Netherlands - Flamcomat MP G4

Flamco Netherlands is a world-leading manufacturer of hydraulic and HVAC equipment. Among Flamco's diverse product range, the Pressurization and Degassing Solution for Chiller and Heating Systems with the Flamcomat MP G4 system is the most advanced automatic pressurization and degassing solution in the world today. It is widely used in countries around the globe, including Vietnam.

The pressurization and degassing system for Chiller/Boiler systems helps to stabilize pressure and remove gas, ensuring that central Chiller and Heating systems operate efficiently, save energy, and increase cooling and heating performance. This is an effective device for large-scale systems and systems designed to European and other advanced M&E standards.

Overview of the Flamco MP G4 Pressurization and Degassing System

The Flamcomat MP G4 is a device in Flamco's expansion system. It is pump-controlled and requires minimal maintenance, effectively absorbing pressure differences in heating and chiller cooling systems while efficiently degassing. The formation of gas in an installation can lead to dirt buildup, corrosion, and wear, causing malfunctions and reducing overall system performance. Investing in the Flamcomat MP G4 solution is a reliable and flexible choice.

The Flamcomat MP G4 has several automated functions for filling and balancing, monitoring, and leak detection. This Flamco MP G4 system is also suitable for connection with a smart Co-Operation mode configuration and for remote communication (with the Flextronic Controller & Remote Service).

Structure of the Flamco Degassing Pressurization System

The Flamco degassing pressurization system consists of a Flamcomat MP G4 pump control unit along with an automatic Flamcomat expansion vessel. The Flamcomat expansion vessel has a capacity ranging from 110 to 1000 liters. Combined with the pump control unit, it is used to store expanded water, degas, and automatically set as an integrated controller, which is managed by microelectronics. The Flamcomat expansion vessel has an 80% efficiency rate regardless of the system's static height. This is an ideal solution for large or tall installations where hidden membrane expansion devices are limited.

The Flamcomat pressurization expansion device is sized according to the total system volume and the load of the boiler heating or chiller cooling system. The pressurization system, with its automatic expansion vessel and automatic air venting, is Flamco's most complete automatic expansion and pressurization system on the market today, creating a comprehensive solution for pressurization expansion and degassing. Furthermore, the user-friendly control unit in the degassing pressurization system displays all operating conditions and errors in an easy-to-understand and convenient manner. The advanced technology ensures low power consumption, long lifespan, and easy maintenance.

• Suitable for high-temperature installations (> 110 °C) when combined with accessory 17504.
• Efficient operation and low power consumption.
• Suitable for Flamconnect remote control.

• Automatically performs volume control and topping up during the heating or cooling cycle.
• Integrated turbo degassing allows for rapid degassing.
• The degassing function allows for continuous degassing if desired.
• Due to the hydraulic design of the Flamcomat MP G4 and the connector, the expansion vessel can be placed anywhere around the Flamcomat.
• Beams are equipped on the Flamcomat MP G4 to protect components and for easy transportation to hard-to-reach places.
• The position of the second pump on the Flamcomat MP G4 twin pump can be placed on either side of the Flamcomat.
• The Flamcomat MP G4 pump unit requires approximately 50% less surface area than previous models.

How the Flamcomat MP G4 Pressurization and Degassing Solution Works

1. Cold: The automatic expansion vessel contains a small amount of water and remains in a static state (inactive).
2. Warming Up: The water volume and system pressure increase. The system reacts to this process by opening the solenoid valve. Water flows into the pressureless expansion vessel. The water in the vessel is degassed due to the pressure reduction and the involvement of PALL rings.
3. Full Power: By storing an increasing amount of water in the expansion vessel, the automatic expansion vessel keeps the system pressure highly stable. When the system is fully heated, the expansion vessel will be operating at full capacity.
4. Cooling Down: The water volume and system pressure decrease. The degassed water is pumped from the pressureless expansion vessel back into the system. This helps restore the system's pressure.
5. Topping-up: If the water level in the vessel drops to a critical level, an appropriate amount of water is slowly pumped into the system from the supply. This water will be degassed (by pressure and PALL rings) before flowing into the vessel.

Conclusion

The Flamcomat pressurization and degassing system is a culmination of a highly integrated, advanced, and complex solution in terms of calculation and selection. To achieve the best operational efficiency, energy savings, and reduced maintenance costs for a Chiller/Boiler system, the installation of a pressurization and degassing device is an essential step in the design process for both cooling and heating systems.
