LK 160 SmartBio® is an electronic differential temperature
controller with several preset hydraulic systems for energy
efficiency in heating systems with storage tanks. The chosen
hydraulic system and operation status is shown on the back-
lit colour display. Controls and settings are easily carried out
using the rotating knob and the esc-button. LK 160 SmartBio®
can handle high efficiency pumps.
LK 160 SmartBio® can also activate an immersion heater or
burner if the temperature in the primary tank falls below the
selected value. The additional heat has a sophisticated delay
function that further adds to the efficiency of the system.
FEATURES
• Several hydraulic systems
• Two outputs for circulating pumps
• Pump exercise
• Floating relay output
• Sensor balancing
• Adjustable delay function for additional heat
• Graphic, multilingual colour display with time and date
• User-friendly menu system
• SD card slot for data logging (micro SD)
• Speed control possible for two circulation pumps via PWM signal
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 1.
Hydralic system 1 is intended for storage tank systems with a
primary and secondary tank. LK 160 SmartBio® controls the
two circulating pumps between the tanks. When the primary
tank is fully charged the charge pump starts at the chosen tem-
perature to fill the secondary tank. When the temperature in the
primary tank falls, the recharging pump starts and transfers
energy back to the primary tank.
HYDRAULSYSTEM 1.1
In order to prevent self-circulation in both directions LK 970
ThermoBac DB double acting check valve should be mounted
between the circulating pumps - see under spare parts and
accessories.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 1.2
The LK 824 ThermoVar® is a thermic valve with double acting
check valve function which ensures a high return temperature
to the solid fuel boiler, thus increasing the efficiency of the
system – see spare parts and accessories.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 2
Hydraulic system 2 is intended for storage tank systems in
which heating water and domestic hot water are taken from a
secondary tank. Heat is to be transferred from the main tank
to the secondary tank. By measuring the temperature differ-
ence between the tanks LK 160 SmartBio® controls the charge
pump.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 3
Hydraulic system 3 is intended for the charging of a storage
tank with a pellet, oil or gas fired burner. By measuring the
temperatures in the tank and boiler LK 160 SmartBio® controls
the burner and charge pump.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 4
Hydraulic system 4 is intended for storage tank systems with
domestic hot water tanks. This system gives priority to the heat
in the upper part of the main tank. This enables a fast transfer
of heat to the domestic hot water tank. LK 160 SmartBio® con-
trols the charge pump to the domestic hot water tank, the zone
valve of the main tank and the circulator in the heating loop.
