Danfoss VVX-I-R FI Heat Interface Unit Spare Parts
Functional Description
Indirect substation for flats and single-family houses.
Application
The Termix VVX-I-R FI is a complete solution for hot water and space heating
with optimal safety, efficient energy transfer, service-friendly construction
and a compact design. The substation is used if a heat exchanger is required
or on a conversion to district heating where the existing equipment is
unsuitable for direct connection.
District heating (DH)
The substation is prefabricated with a differential pressure controller,
fitting piece and sensor pockets for insertion of an energy meter as well as
strainers.
Heating (HE)
The heating side consists of a plate heat exchanger, safety valve, manometer,
drain valve, air valve, expansion vessel and circulation pump. The temperature
of the heating can be controlled thermostatically or by an electronic
controller with an outdoor temperature sensor. Depending on the application,
different heat exchangers dimensioned for central or floor heating will be
used.
Domestic hot water (DHW)
The domestic hot water is prepared in the heat exchanger and the temperature
is regulated with a flow-compensated temperature controller with an integrated
differential pressure controller. The DH water is cooled very efficiently by
the heat exchanger, thereby creating an excellent operating economy. The
Danfoss IHPT valve ensures a stable hot water temperature by varying loads,
supply temperatures and by high and varying differential pressure without the
need for readjusting the valve. This protects the heat exchanger against
overheating and limescale formation. Furthermore, the Danfoss IHPT valve has
an integrated idle temperature controller, which keeps the house supply line
warm. This shortens the waiting periods during summer when the heating system
is in reduced operation, which is ideal where high comfort is requested.
Safety notes
Safety Notes – general
The following instructions refer to the standard design of the substation.
Special versions of substations are available on request.
This operating manual should be read carefully before installation and start-
up of the substation. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or
faults that result from non-compliance with the operating manual. Please read
and follow all the instructions carefully to prevent accidents, injury and
damage to property. Assembly, start-up and maintenance work must be performed
by qualified and authorized personnel only.
Please comply with the instructions issued by the system manufacturer or
system operator.
Corrosion protection
All pipes and components are made of stainless steel and brass. The maximum
chloride compounds of the flow medium should not be higher than 150 mg/l.
The risk of equipment corrosion increases considerably if the recommended
level of permissible chloride compounds is exceeded.
Energy source
The substation is designed for district heating as the primary source of
energy. However, also other energy sources can be used where the operating
conditions allow it and always are comparable to district heating.
Application
The substation is designed to be connected to the house installation in a
frost-free room, where the temperature does not exceed 50 °C and the humidity
does not exceed 60%. Do not cover or wall up the substation or in any other
way block the entrance to the station.
Choice of material
Choice of materials always in compliance with local legislation.
Safety valve(s)
We recommend mounting safety valve(s), however, always in compliance with
local regulations.
Connection
The substation must be equipped with features that ensure that the substation
can be separated from all energy sources (also power supply).
Emergency
In case of danger or accidents – fire, leaks or other dangerous circumstances –
interrupt all energy sources to the station if possible, and seek expert help.
In case of discoloured or bad-smelling domestic hot water, close all shut-off
valves on the substation, inform the operating personnel and call for expert
help immediately.

Mounting the display of the energy meter
Start-up
Start-up, Indirect heating
Filling
-
First fill
When carrying out the first fill, the heat exchanger must be slowly filled with water until it reaches working pressure. -
Pressure gauge
The HE pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the HE system. This instruction must be followed strictly, to avoid dangerous situations. -
Supply hose
A ball valve with a plug is installed in the HE return line. To fill the system, the ball valve must first be closed, the plug removed and a supply hose connected. On re-opening the ball valve, system fill can commence. -
Pre-pressure
When filling the system with water, the pressure gauge should be observed closely. The expansion vessel is supplied pre-pressurised to 0.5 bar. The pre- pressure required at each substation will depend on the system head (the distance between the lowest and highest point in the system), for example: -
Filling stop
Filling must stop when the pressure gauge shows a pressure approximately 1-2 bar higher than the pre-pressure setting. The ball valve is then closed, the hose removed and the plug put back in.
Start-up
-
Pump speed
Set the pump to the highest speed before start-up. -
Start pump
Start the pump and heat through the system. -
Open shut-off valves
The shut-off valves should then be opened and the unit observed as it enters service. Visual checking should confirm temperatures, pressures, acceptable thermal expansion and absence of leakage.
If the heat exchanger operates under design, it can be put to regular use. -
Vent system
Switch off the pump and vent the installation after the radiators have been warmed up. -
Adjust pump speed
Set the pump to the lowest speed consistent with comfort and electricity consumption.
Normally the change-over switch is set in the mid position (default).
However, for systems with underfloor heating or single pipe loop systems, it may be necessary to turn the change-over switch upwards.
Higher pump speeds are only used if the heating requirement increases.
Re-tighten connections
After water has been added to the system and the system has been put into
operation, re-tighten ALL connections.
Pump
The pump must be switched off during system fill.
Height (m) | Pressure (bar) |
---|---|
0 – 5 | 0,5 |
5 – 10 | 1,0 |
10 – 15 | 1,5 |
15 – 20 | 2,0 |
Underfloor heating
Pump stop function
If the substation is used in connection with underfloor heating, the
circulation pump must be connected to the pump stop function in the underfloor
heating controller. The pump must be stopped if all under-floor heating
circuits are closed.
Warranty
If this is not possible, then flow must be continued through the bypass.
Failing this, the pump will be at risk of seizure and any remaining warranty
will be withdrawn.
Electrical connections
Before making electrical connections, please note the following:
Safety notes
Please read the relevant parts of the safety notes.
230 V
The substation must be connected to 230 V AC and earth.
Potential bonding
- Potential bonding should be carried out according to 60364-4-41:2007 and IEC 60364-5-54:2011. The bonding point on the mounting plate below the right corner is marked with the earth symbol.
Disconnection
- The substation must be electrically connected so that it can be disconnected for repairs.
Authorized electrician
- Electrical connections must be made by an authorized electrician only.
Local standards
- Electrical connections must be made under current regulations and local standards.
Thermoactuators
- Activating the thermoactuators
- The thermoactuators are supplied with a “first open” function, such that they are slightly open for frost protection until the electrical controller is installed. During commissioning, the “first open” function is disabled by removing the red mounting split on the thermoactuator.
- Please check that the thermoactuators can fully close following the disablement of the “-first open” function. See the installation guide included with the term actuator.
IMIT Thermostat
The IMIT Thermostat is used to limit the underfloor heating flow temperature.
The IMIT Thermostat is preset to 60 °C, shutting off the pump and the primary
on/off valve when the flow to the underfloor heating exceeds 60 °C.
The IMIT Thermostat is (if not already factory-fitted) to be fitted on the
secondary flow pipe as close to the heating interface unit as possible using
the steel band provided.

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.
IHPT 180 controller (45–65 °)
IHPT is a self-acting flow-compensated temperature controller with an
integrated differential pressure controller.
The IHPT operates at its best at DH supply temperatures of up to 100 °C.
By turning the handle for the temperature setting in (+) direction the setting
is increased, by turning it in the (-) direction the setting is decreased.

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 the 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.
Pressure Absorber
The Pressure Absorber reduces the overpressure created in the system caused by
the sudden opening/closing of taps, so a discharge outlet is omitted. The
Pressure Absorber can be used as a substitute to the safety valve.
By reducing such overpressures the Pressure Absorber ensures proper
functioning of the components located in the system. It will also considerably
reduce the noise generated by vibration that occurs due to the sudden closure
of the interceptions. The Pressure Absorber may not be applied in systems with
hot water circulation.
Fitting piece
The substation is equipped with a fitting piece for energy meter.
Assembly of energy meters
-
Close ball valves
Close the ball valves on DH Supply and DH Return, if there is water on the system. -
Loosen nuts
Loosen the nuts on the fitting piece. -
Remove fitting piece
Remove the fitting piece and replace it with the energy meter. Do not forget the gaskets. -
Tighten connections
After mounting of the energy meter remember to check and tighten all threaded connections.
Sensor pocket, energy meter
The sensors of the energy meter is mounted in the sensor pockets.
Extras
Circulation pipe
The circulation pipe set is mounted directly on the controller. The set
includes circulation pipe, single check valve and fitting. When mounting the
hot water circulation directly on the controller the hot water circulation
temperature will be equal to the idle temperature. The idle temperature is a
few degrees lower than the set domestic hot water temperature.
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.
