Operating Guide Termix One-Q

Functional description

District heating substation for direct heating and instantaneous domestic hot water with a self-acting thermostatic/flow controller. Designed for wall- mounting.

Application
The Termix One is an instantaneous water heater featuring superb heat extraction and high performance. The Termix One is suitable for flats, single- family houses as well as for small apartment buildings with up to 10 apartments. The water heater is available in three sizes, either for 1 apartment, for 1‑4 apartments or for 5 up to 10 apartments. The Termix One is applicable for decentralized heating systems – as well as for district heating networks with summer operation at low temperatures or changes in differential pressure. The Termix One heat exchanger cools out the district heating water very efficiently, thereby creating a very good operation economy.

Domestic hot water (DHW)
The domestic hot water is prepared in the heat exchanger and the temperature is regulated with a self-acting thermostatic control valve that controls the DHW preparation by using a
flow-compensation principle. The rapid closing of the control valve protects the heat exchanger against over heating and lime scale formation. The control valve ensures a stable hot water temperature by varying loads, flow temperatures and differential pressure without the need for readjusting the valve. The heat exchanger cools out the district heating water very efficiently, thereby creating a very good operating economy. The control valve also works as a bypass keeping the house supply line at 35 °C during standstill. This shortens the waiting periods during summer when the heating system is in reduced operation.

Controls

DHW temperature control

DHW temperature control

There are various types of DHW temperature control used in Danfoss substations.

DHW temperature should be adjusted to 45-50 °C, as this provides optimal utilisation of DH water. At DHW temperatures above 55 °C, the possibility of lime scale deposits increases significantly.

AVTQ controller (20–60 °)

AVTQ is a self-acting flow-compensated temperature controller. It has a permanent no-load (idle) temperature setting of about 35 °C. The AVTB operates at its best at DH supply temperatures of up to 90°C.

Thermostatic control

DHW temperature is adjusted as follows:

• To increase temperature, turn the handle on the thermostatic controller to select a higher number.
• To decrease temperature, turn the handle on the thermostatic controller to select a lower number.

Other

Safety valve
The purpose of the safety valve is to protect the substation from excessive pressure.
The blow-off pipe from the safety valve must not be closed. The blow-off pipe outlet should be placed so that it discharges freely and it is possible to observe any dripping from the safety valve.
It is recommended to check the operation of safety valves at intervals of 6 months. This is done by turning the valve head in direction indicated.

Strainer
Strainers should be cleaned regularly by authorized personnel. The frequency of cleaning would depend on operating conditions and the manufacturer’s instructions.

GTU Pressure Equalizer
The GTU Pressure Equalizer absorbs the expansion on the secondary side of the Termix water heaters and can be used as a substitute to the safety valve.
Furthermore the pressure equalizer absorbs a possible increase in pressure, so a discharge outlet is omitted.
The GTU Pressure Equalizer may not be applied in systems with hot water circulation.

Maintenance
The substation requires little monitoring, apart from routine checks. It is recommended to read the energy meter at regular intervals, and to write down the meter readings.
Regular inspections of the substation according to this Instruction are recommended, which should include:

• Strainers
  Cleaning of strainers.

• Meters
  Checking of all operating parameters such as meter readings.

• Temperatures
  Checking of all temperatures, such as DH supply temperature and DHW temperature.

• Connections
  Checking all connections for leakages.

• Safety valves
  The operation of the safety valves should be checked by turning the valve head in the indicated direction.

• Venting
  Checking that the system is thoroughly vented.
  Inspections should be carried out minimum every two years.
  Spare parts can be ordered from Danfoss. Please ensure that any enquiry includes the substation serial number.

Authorized personnel only
Assembly, start-up and maintenance work must be performed by qualified and authorized personnel only.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting in general
In the event of operating disturbances, the following basic features should be checked before carrying out actual troubleshooting:

• the substation is connected to electricity,
• the strainer on the DH supply pipe is clean,
• the supply temperature of the DH is at the normal level (summer, at least 60 °C – winter, at least 70 °C),
• the differential pressure is equal to or higher than the normal (local) differential pressure in the DH network – if in doubt, ask the DH plant supervisor,
• pressure on the system – check the HE pressure gauge.
