In reheat mode, the DHW tank continuously heats up to the temperature shown on the home screen (example: 50°C) when the temperature drops below a certain value.

Reheat mode

Tt DHW tank temperature
t Time

INFORMATION
When the Priority Schedule is set to DHW (refer to “5.9 Priority schedule” [413]) and the DHW tank mode is reheat at same time, the risk for capacity shortage and comfort problem is significant. In case of frequent reheat operation, space heating/cooling function is regularly interrupted.

INFORMATION
The application of hysteresis (the amount of the temperature drop that will trigger the heat up) might vary depending on whether the target temperature is within operation range of the outdoor unit. Please consult with installer or check installer reference guide.

Scheduled mode

In scheduled mode, the DHW tank produces hot water corresponding to a schedule. The best time to allow the tank to produce hot water is at night, because the space heating demand is lower.

Scheduled mode

Tt DHW tank temperature
t Time

  • Initially, the DHW tank temperature is the same as the temperature of the domestic water entering the DHW tank (example: 15°C).
  • At 00:00 the DHW tank is programmed to heat up the water to a preset value (example: Comfort = 60°C).
  • During the morning, you consume hot water and the DHW tank temperature decreases.
  • At 14:00 the DHW tank is programmed to heat up the water to a preset value (example: Eco = 50°C). Hot water is available again.
  • During the afternoon and evening, you consume hot water again and the DHW tank temperature decreases again.
  • At 00:00 the next day, the cycle repeats.

Scheduled + reheat mode

In scheduled + reheat mode, the domestic hot water control is the same as in scheduled mode. However, when the DHW tank temperature drops below a preset value (=reheat tank temperature – hysteresis value; example: 35°C), the DHW tank heats up until it reaches the reheat set point (example: 45°C). This ensures that a minimum amount of hot water is available at all times.

Example:

Scheduled + reheat mode

Tt Domestic hot water tank temperature
t Time

INFORMATION
The application of hysteresis (the amount of the temperature drop that will trigger the heat up) might vary depending on whether the target temperature is within operation range of the outdoor unit. Please consult with installer or check installer reference guide.

Using DHW powerful operation

About powerful operation

To check if powerful operation is active

If is displayed on the home screen, powerful operation is active.
Activate or deactivate Powerful operation as follows:

1| Go to [5.1]: Tank > Powerful operation|
---|---|---
2| Turn powerful operation Off or On.|

Usage example: You immediately need more hot water

You are in the following situation:

  • You already consumed most of your domestic hot water.
  • You cannot wait for the next scheduled action to heat up the domestic hot water tank.

Then you can activate powerful operation. The domestic hot water tank will start heating up the water to the Comfort temperature.

INFORMATION
When the Priority Schedule is set to DHW (refer to “5.9 Priority schedule” [4 13]) and powerful operation is active, the risk of space heating/cooling and capacity shortage comfort problems is significant. In case of frequent domestic hot water operation, frequent and long space heating/cooling interruptions will happen.

Powerful operation allows the domestic hot water production to be assisted by the booster heater. Use this mode on days when there is more hot water usage than usual.

Weather-dependent curve

What is a weather-dependent curve?

Weather-dependent operation

The unit operates ‘weather dependent’ if the desired tank temperature is determined automatically by the outdoor temperature.
If the outdoor temperature drops or rises, the unit compensates instantly. Thus, the unit does not have to wait for feedback by the user to increase or decrease the target temperature of the tank.
Because it reacts more quickly, it prevents high rises and drops of the water temperature at tap points.

Advantage

Weather-dependent operation reduces energy consumption.

Weather-dependent curve

To be able to compensate for differences in temperature, the unit relies on its weather-dependent curve. This curve defines how much the target temperature of the tank must be at different outdoor temperatures. Because the slope of the curve depends on local circumstances such as climate and the insulation of the house, the curve can be adjusted by an installer.

Types of weather-dependent curve

There are 2 types of weather-dependent curves:

  • 2-points curve
  • Slope-offset curve

Which type of curve you use to make adjustments, depends on your personal preference. See “5.8.4 Using weather-dependent curves” [12].

Availability

The weather-dependent curve is available for:

Tank (only available to installers)

INFORMATION
To operate weather dependent, correctly configure the setpoint of the tank. See “5.8.4 Using weather-dependent curves” [412].

2-points curve

Define the weather-dependent curve with these two setpoints:

  • Setpoint (X1, Y2)
  • Setpoint (X2, Y1)

Example

Item Description
X1, X2 Examples of outdoor ambient temperature
Y1, Y2 Examples of desired tank temperature. The icon corresponds to

the heat emitter for that zone:
: Domestic hot water tank
Possible actions on this screen

| Go through the temperatures.
| Change the temperature.
| Go to the next temperature.
| Confirm changes and proceed.

Slope-offset curve

Slope and offset

Define the weather-dependent curve by its slope and offset:

  • Change the slope to differently increase or decrease the target temperature of the tank for different ambient temperatures. For example, if tank water temperature is in general fine but at low ambient temperatures too cold, raise the slope so that the tank temperature is heated increasingly more at decreasingly lower ambient temperatures.
  • Change the offset to equally increase or decrease the target temperature of the tank for different ambient temperatures. For example, if the tank temperature is always a bit too cold at different ambient temperatures, shift the offset up to equally increase the tank target temperature for all ambient temperatures.

Examples
Weather-dependent curve when slope is selected:

Weather-dependent curve when offset is selected:

Item Description
a WD curve before changes
b WD curve after changes (as example):

When slope is changed, the new preferred temperature at X1 is unequally higher than the preferred temperature at X2.
When offset is changed, the new preferred temperature at X1 is equally higher as the preferred
temperature at X2.
c| Slope
d| Offset
X1, X2| Examples of outdoor ambient temperature
Y1, Y2,
Y3, Y4
| Examples of desired tank temperature. The icon corresponds to the heat emitter for that zone:
 : Domestic hot water tank

Possible actions on this screen


| Select slope or offset.
| Increase or decrease the slope/offset.
| When slope is selected: set slope and go to offset.
When offset is selected: set offset.
| Confirm changes and return to the submenu.

Using weather-dependent curves

Configure weather-dependent curves as following:

To define the setpoint mode

To use the weather-dependent curve, you need to define the correct setpoint mode:

Go to setpoint mode … Set the setpoint mode to …

Tank
[5.B] Tank > Setpoint mode| Restriction: Only available to installers. Weather dependent

To change the type of weather-dependent curve

To change the type for the tank, go to [5.E] Tank.

[5.E] Tank > WD curve type

Restriction: Only available to installers.

To change the weather-dependent curve

Zone Go to …
Tank Restriction: Only available to installers.

[5.C] Tank > WD curve

INFORMATION
Maximum and minimum setpoints
You cannot configure the curve with temperatures that are higher or lower than the set maximum and minimum setpoints for the tank. When the maximum or minimum setpoint is reached, the curve flattens out.

To fine-tune the weather-dependent curve: slope-offset curve

The following table describes how to fine-tune the weatherdependent curve of the tank:

Priority schedule

Air Conditioning or domestic hot water priority

When multiple indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit (refer
to Installer Reference Guide for details), the user can set on the user
interface for each month whether to put DHW or Air Conditioning (A/C)
as priority. This will determine how the outdoor unit will react in case
multiple indoor units requested operation at the same time:

  • If DHW is set as priority, outdoor unit can decide to operate only for DHW, while A/C operation is put on hold. In this case, once DHW operation is finished, outdoor unit can switch to A/C operation.
  • If A/C is set as priority, outdoor unit can decide to operate only A/ C, in which case booster heater can start for DHW production. Once A/C operation is finished, outdoor unit can switch to DHW.

To select the Priority schedule

1| Go to [5.F]: Tank > Priority schedule.|
---|---|---
2| Select which month to set.
|
3| Select the priority schedule of that month.
|

INFORMATION
If the booster heater always takes over the DHW heat load due to setting Priority schedule to AC, electricity consumption will be considerably higher. For the months where space heating/cooling is less important, it is
recommended to set the Priority schedule to DHW.

INFORMATION
If DHW is set as priority and frequent DHW operation is expected, there is risk for comfort problem due to interruption of AC operation. For the months where space heating/cooling is more important, it is recommended to set the Priority schedule to AC.

Operation mode

Choosing Operation mode for DHW

Depending on whether early booster heater operation is desired, two DHW operation modes can be chosen as follows:

  • Efficient: Booster heater only allowed when outdoor unit is
    unable to perform DHW (e.g. water temperature is outside operation
    range of outdoor unit, or outdoor unit decides to only perform A/C
    operation – refer to “5.9 Priority schedule” [413])

  • Quick: Booster heater is allowed either after a certain amount of time has passed since start of DHW operation (refer below) or when outdoor unit is unable to perform DHW.

Quick mode timer

When Quick mode is chosen, user can choose between 3 preset timers after which Booster heater can activate since the start of DHW operation:

  • Turbo: 10 minutes
  • Normal: 20 minutes
  • Economic: 30 minutes

When Efficient mode is chosen, the Quick mode timer is not used.

Energy saving tips

Tips about DHW tank temperature

  • Use a weekly schedule for your normal domestic hot water needs
    (ONLY in scheduled mode).

  • Also, by setting the heat up action to only scheduled action, interruption to AC operation will be limited to the specific moments where space heating/cooling demand is less important.

    • Program to heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Comfort = higher DHW tank temperature) during the night, because then space heating/cooling demand is lower (example: between 22:00 and 04:00).
    • If heating up the DHW tank once at night is NOT sufficient, program to additionally heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Eco = lower DHW tank temperature) during the day or the time when occupants are not present (example: between 09:00 and 15:00).
  • Make sure the desired DHW tank temperature is NOT too high. Example: After installation, lower the DHW tank temperature daily by 1°C and check if you still have enough hot water.

you immediately need domestic hot water, activate the DHW tank Powerful operation. However, this consumes extra energy. See “5.6.4 Using DHW powerful operation” [49]. If the problems recurs daily, do one of the following:
Increase the DHW  tank temperature preset value. See the user reference guide.
Adjust the DHW  tank temperature schedule. Example: Program to additionally heat up the DHW  tank to a preset value (Eco setpoint = lower tank temperature) during the day. See “5.7  Schedule screen: Example” [410].
The desired DHW tank temperature is too low.
The thermal cut-out has tripped.| Contact your installer.

Symptom: Heat pump failure

When the heat pump fails to operate, the booster heater can serve as an emergency heater. It then takes over the heat load either automatically or by manual interaction.

  • When Emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure occurs, the booster heater in the tank automatically takes over the domestic hot water production.
  • When Emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure occurs, the domestic hot water heating stops.

To manually recover it via the user interface, go to the Malfunctioning main menu screen and confirm whether the booster heater can take over the heat load or not.

When the heat pump fails, or will appear on the user interface.

Possible cause Corrective action
Heat pump is damaged. See “8.1 To display the help text in case of a

malfunction” [14].

INFORMATION
When the booster heater takes over the heat load, electricity consumption will be considerably higher.

Symptom: The system is making gurgling noises after commissioning

Possible cause Corrective action
There is air in the system Purge air from the system.(a)
Incorrect hydraulic balance. To be performed by the installer:

Perform hydraulic balancing to assure that the flow is correctly distributed between the emitters.
If hydraulic balancing is not sufficient, change the pump limitation settings ([9-0D] and [9-0E] if applicable)
Various malfunctions.| Check if or is displayed on the home screen of the user interface. See “8.1 To display the help text in case of a
malfunction” [14] for more information about the malfunction.

(a) We recommend to purge air with the air purge function of the unit (to be performed by the installer). If you purge air from the heat emitters or collectors, mind the following:

WARNING
Air purging heat emitters or collectors. Before you purge air from heat emitters or collectors, check if or is displayed on the home screen of the user interface.

  • If not, you can purge air immediately.
  • If yes, make sure that the room where you want to purge air is sufficiently ventilated. Reason: Refrigerant might leak into the water circuit, and subsequently into the room when you purge air from the heat emitters or collectors.

Disposal

NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and other parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for reuse, recycling and recovery.
