System bene? ts02System comparison.Left: conventional solutionwith two loops through the whole building from the boiler to the surface heating manifolds in the living area and with an additional mixing module on the boiler.Right: BM system connection without second loop and without mixing module on the boiler.Direct installation in the living area guarantees more comfort by individual adjustment of each station. Expensive reconstruction work for a second loop through the whole building (for example when retro? tting) can be avoided.Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 2Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 2 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.4703Comparison between a conventional solution for the connection of a surface heating system and a complete BM system connection without a second loop.Design principle.By using a system connection with BM mixing modules the high supply temperature of the radiator circuit (e.g. 70°C) is reduced directly in the living area to the lower temperature level (e.g. 45°C) required by the surface heating.The complete absence of an expensive second low temperature piping network from the boiler to the ? oor heating manifold results in substantial cost bene? ts. In addition to this second loop, it is also possible to dispense with the boiler manifold and the mixer for the ? oor circuit.Therefore the system is ideal for refurbishments, as reconstruction work is signi? cantly reduced.Application.The mixing module BM mini is recommended for small areas and individual rooms. Regulating the primary feed gives a pleasant and even heat distribution. For larger surfaces up to 200 m² the BM eco mixer can also be installed directly in the living area. The system for BM mixers is conceived for oxygen tight surface heating systems.Bene? ts.Mixing directly in the apartment enables individual adjustment of the surface heating. Each apartment can be controlled depending on the ? oor covering as well as according to individual and timing requirements. Every apartment owner can set their own optimum heating comfort.As no low temperature loop is required, a ? oor heating system can also be installed in individual apartments or rooms in single or multiple-family dwellings. The conversion requires only limited space, thus giving new opportunities for the retro? tting of a ? oor heating system.A look through a thermal camera shows the even heat distribution of a small heating ? oor surface with the BM miniBM mini mixing module.Mixing module for individual rooms and small surfaces, transmission capacity approx. 3 kW, for heating surfaces depending on layout up to approx. 40 m² very compact.BM eco mixing module.Mixing module for apartments or individual ? oor levels, transmission capacity approx. 15 kW, for heating surfaces depending on layout up to approx. 200 m², with mixer module and high ef? ciency circulation pump with energy ef? ciency class A.Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 3Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 3 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.47BM mini mixing module04Supply connection to boiler circuitReturn connection to boiler circuitAdjustable control valveOver-temperature protection system 55°CThermostatic headBleed screwShaftless spherical motor pump with on/off switchBall valve mixing circuitAdjustable bypassSupply connection to ? oor heating circuitReturn connection to ? oor heating circuit2015105Pump head [kPa] 0 0,2 0,4 0,6 0,8Pump curve.Technical DataMax. system pressure 1 MPa (10 bar)Max. system temperature 110°C (radiator circuit) 55°C (? oor heating circuit)Max. differential pressure 100 kPa (1 bar) within radiator circuitSupply voltage 1 x 230 V / 50 HzPower consumption 25 Watt (circulation pump)Dimensions BM mini L 265 x H 195 x D 90 mmConnection Eurocone 3/4’’ Distance supply / return 40 mm radiator connection 59 mm ? oor heating connectionWeight 2,3 kgFlow rate [m3/h]Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 4Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 4 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.4705Individually adjustable room station for surfaces up to 40 m².Application.With the BM mini mixing module, surface heating systems (up to 2 circuits and up to 40 m²) can be directly connected to a radiator circuit and can be adjusted according to a desired roomtemperature. The 40 m² surface speci? cation is based on an inside diameter of the ? oor heating pipe of min. 12 mm (e.g. plastic pipe 16x2 mm or copper pipe 15x1 mm); the max. pipe length per heating circuit should not exceed 100 m with a 10 K difference. For smaller pipe diameters corresponding reductions have to be made.The enclosed mounting bracket allows a left or right sided connection to the radiator circuit. Thanks to an integrated bypass valve the BM mini can also be connected to less conventional single pipe systems.The model BM mini KF is particularly suitable for bathrooms and other damp rooms, thanks to the thermostatic head, which works without electricity, together with a capillary remote sensor. The supply temperature required for the respective surface heating system can be adjusted either indirectly through the ? ow in the control valve (model KF + RT), or directly through a constant temperature control (model KR). The integrated spherical motor pump ensures an even temperature distribution and a constant comfortable temperature level. The BM mini is also provided with an integrated over-temperature protection system, which restricts the supply temperature in the ? oor heating circuit to max. 55°C. A ball valve in the mixing section enables an easy cleaning of the ? oor heating circuit. With the BM mini the room temperature can be adjusted either through a thermostatic head with a capillary remote sensor (model KF), or through a thermoelectric drive (model RT + KR), which has to be connected to a room thermostat (to be ordered separately). Also a wireless radio control can be delivered on request.Comparison between a BM mini and Return Temperature Limiters (RTL valves).Connecting a surface heating system to a BM mini, compared to RTL valves (Return Temperature Limiter), has many advantages (see pictures on next page):even heat distribution through the integrated circulation pumppossibility to connect surfaces up toapprox. 40 m²no limitation to the radiator supply temperature;also old boiler systems with a supply temperature up to 110°C can be easily connectedintegrated over-temperature protection system (55°C)supply temperature adjustable either by setting the admixed volume ? ow (model KF and RT), or by using the integrated constant temperature control (model KR)especially suited for the connection of renovation systems with low constructionheightsModel BM mini KFRoom temperature control with thermostatic headModel BM mini RTRoom temperature control with room thermostat (not included).Model BM mini KRConstant temperature control connected to optional room thermostat (not included)Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 5Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 5 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.4706Comparison BM mini with RTL valve.Dimensional drawing BM mini (all measures given in mm)Example of RTL valveSupply only up to max. ? oor heating temperature, e.g. 60°CReturn, e.g. 45°C60°C30°CRoom temperature sensorRTL valveRTL valve setting at normally 30°CAny supply temperature, e.g. 70°CMechanical over-temperature protectionCirculation pumpBypass50°C40°CRoom temperature sensorReturn, e.g. 50°CExample of BM miniControl valve195405926515840592651584059265BM mini KF BM mini KRBM mini RTCat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 6Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 6 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.47BM mini.Mixing module (eurocone connection 3/4”) incl. shaftless spherical motor pump with on/off switch and power cable (1m), pre-adjustable thermostatic valve, mounting bracket for connection on left or right side, over-temperature protection system (55°C), adjustable bypass for connection to one pipe system, bleed screw.Accessories, components and spare parts for BM mini.Model Part number Description ProductcategoryBM mini KF LH 49 00 920 With room temperature control, composed of thermo-static head (10-26°C and freeze protection) and capillary remote sensor (5m)BM mini RT LH 49 00 921 With room temperature control, composed of electrical drive for connection to a room thermostat (room thermo-stat to be ordered separately)7 YBM mini KR LH 49 00 922 With integrated constant temperature control (20-70°C) for additional connection to a room thermostat for adjustment of room temperature (room thermostat to be ordered separately)Model Part number Description Product categoryDXG LH 95 00 175 Duplex screw connection (supply and return manifold for 2 loops)RTS LH 95 00 403 Room thermostat (gas-expansion membrane without thermal feedback, 230V / 50 Hz), control range 10-30°C, protection class II, max. room temperature 50°C, dimen-sions H 76 x W 82 x D 38 mm, whiteRTZ LH 95 00 450 Room thermostat (bimetal with thermal feedback, 230 V / 50 Hz), control range 5-30°C, protection class IP 30, max. room temperature 50°C, dimensions H 74 x W 74 x D 23 mm, whiteS-BM mini A LH 95 00 984 Flush mounting cabinet with galvanized steel sheet with door, (door and frame white primed) incl. 2 mounting rails and ? x-ing material, packed in carton.

Surface heating systems up to approx.200 m² can be directly connected to a radiator circuit and can be adjusted according to a desired room temperature. The BM eco is conceived for oxygen tight surface heating systems.Design principle. The connection of the low temperature heating to the boiler circuit is performed via a mixing station, in which control, control valve, overtemperature protection and a high ef? ciency class A circulation pump for low temperature circuits are integrated. The compact dimensions and the resistant silent spherical motor pump allow the installation directly in the living area (recess or ? ush mounting cabinet). By using a single installation the mixing module can also be used without a boiler pump. The slightly modi? ed connection to the boiler circuit is clearly explained in the instruction manual.The BM eco mixing module can be combined with various plastic and brass manifolds (not within the scope of delivery).The Mixing Modules are completely corrosionresistant, as they are made out of bronze.Integrated controls.Thanks to the integrated thermostatic head the BM eco mixing module has robust and easy-tooperate controls, which allow a continuously variable adjustment between 20°C and 55°C ofthe desired supply temperature. A capillary sensor registers the ? oor heating supply temperature and keeps it constant within a necessary proportional band. The integrated thermostatic head consequently closes or opens the primary valve of the mixing module according to the demands of the ? oor heating. In this way a bigger or a smaller quantity of hot water from the primary circuit is mixed according to the ? oor heating, reaching the desired temperature reliably.The pump of the BM eco has a LED in the power selector of the high ef? ciency pump that precisely shows the operating status of the system. This mechanism is controlled through a high-performance microprocessor situated in the pump. Through this power selector is it also possible to completely switch off the system without any problems.Integrated over-temperature protection system A mechanical strap-on thermostat, independent from the controls, is responsible for the overtemperature protection.The integrated shaftless spherical motor pump with ECM technology meets all requirements of the high ef? ciency class A pump With only 9-35 Watt electricity consumption of the circulation pump the BM eco sets standards.Dimensional drawing BM eco in mm174146Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 9Cat_Mixing_Modules_uk.indd 9 18/07/12 15.4718/07/12 15.4710BM eco base module.Accessories, components and spare parts for BM eco.Model Part number Dimensions B x H x D (in mm) Product categoryBM ecoBM eco ZRLH 49 00 911LH 49 00 913174 x 390 x 110* 7 YModel Part number Dimensions Product categoryMTWZ-KF2 LH 95 00 412 Thermostatic head with plug-in sensor (capillary length 0.5m) for controlrange 20-55°C, for BM2 valveATM2eco LH 24 00 602 Highly ef? cient standard replacement pump of energy ef-? ciency class A, for BM eco / BM 2 / BM 2 KF (strap-on ther-mostat model AT no. 95 00 400 for BM 2 KF to be ordered separately if needed), pump head 4m, 9-35 WattATM6eco LH 24 00 606 Highly ef? cient special replacement pump of energy ef? ciency class B,v for BM eco/ BM 2 / BM 2 KF (strap-on thermostat model AT no. 95 00 400 for BM 2 KF to beordered separately if needed), pump head 6m, 9-63 Watt 7 ZVSVA LH 95 00 113 Manifold segment for ? oor heating return for BM ecoVSRA LH 95 00 115 Manifold segment for ? oor heating return for BM ecoD180 LH 95 00 212 Flow meter insert for VSRA, colour green, measurement range 30-177 l/hD250 LH 95 00 213 Flow meter insert for VSRA, colour red, measurement range 60-250 l/hAEB 1” LH 95 00 265 1” connection block to right end of manifoldBM-WMZ LH 95 00 971 Heat meter connection kit with adapter 110 mm x R 3/4”TH14 LH 95 00 215 ThermometerBronze mixing module with pre-adjustable control valve; with integrated continuously adjustable highly ef? cient circulation pump of energy ef? ciency class A; adjustable bypass for transmission ratio control; ? lling device, check valve, thermometer, automatic bleed valve; 1/2” female thread connecting piece with shut-off plug for connection of the heat meter immersion sensor (not included); boiler connection on link side with shut-off ball valves (3/4” female thread); connection for ? oor heating manifold on right side (1” female tread); incl. constant temperature control through thermostatic head (20-55°C) and integrated over-temperature protection system (adjustable 20-90°C).
