To change the desired leaving water temperature

INFORMATION
The leaving water is the water that is sent to the heat emitters. The desired leaving water temperature is set by your installer in accordance with the heat emitter type. Only adjust the leaving water temperature settings in case of problems.

You can use the leaving water temperature setpoint screen to read out and adjust the desired leaving water temperature.

Domestic hot water control

Reheat mode
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.

DAIKIN ETVZ16S18EA6V Altherma 3 H HT F fig-41

INFORMATION
When the DHW tank mode is reheat, the risk for capacity shortage and comfort problem is significant. In case of frequent reheat operation, space heating/cooling function is regularly interrupted.

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.

Example:DAIKIN ETVZ16S18EA6V Altherma 3 H HT F
fig-42

  • 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:DAIKIN ETVZ16S18EA6V Altherma 3 H HT F
fig-43

Using DHW powerful operation

About powerful operation
The powerful operation allows the domestic hot water to be heated by the backup heater. Use this mode on days when there is more hot water usage than usual.

To check if powerful operation is active
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 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.

Schedule screen: Example
This example shows how to set a room temperature schedule in heating mode for the main zone.

INFORMATION
The procedures to program other schedules are similar.

To program the schedule: overview
Example: You want to program the following schedule:

Prerequisite: The room temperature schedule is only available if room thermostat control is active. If leaving water temperature control is active, you can program the main zone schedule instead.

Weather-dependent curve

What is a weather-dependent curve?
Weather-dependent operation
The unit operates ‘weather dependent’ if the desired leaving water or tank temperature is determined automatically by the outdoor temperature. It therefore is connected to a temperature sensor on the North wall of the building. If the outdoor temperature drops or rises, the unit compensates instantly. Thus, the unit does not have to wait for feedback by the thermostat to increase or decrease the temperature of the leaving water or tank. Because it reacts more quickly, it prevents high rises and drops of the indoor temperature and 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 temperature of the tank or leaving water 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 or user.

Types of the 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 “5.9.4  Using weather-dependent curves” [4 17].
Availability

The weather-dependent curve is available for:

  • Main zone – Heating
  • Main zone – Cooling
  • Additional zone – Heating
  • Additional zone – Cooling
  • Tank (only available to installers)

INFORMATION
To operate weather dependent, correctly configure the setpoint of the main zone, additional zone or tank. See “5.9.4 Using weather-dependent curves” [4 17].

points curve
Define the weather-dependent curve with these two setpoints:

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

Example

DAIKIN ETVZ16S18EA6V Altherma 3 H HT F fig-54

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

Examples

Using weather-dependent curves
Configure weather-dependent curves as follows:

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 …

Energy-saving tips

Tips about room temperature

  • Make sure the desired room temperature is NEVER too high (in heating mode) or too low (in cooling mode), but ALWAYS according to your actual needs. Each saved degree can save up to 6% of heating/cooling costs.
  • Do NOT increase/decrease the desired room temperature to speed up space heating/cooling. The space will NOT heat up/cool down faster.
  • When your system layout contains slow heat emitters (example: underfloor heating), avoid large fluctuation of the desired room temperature and do NOT let the room temperature drop too low/rise too high. It will take more time and energy to heat up/cool down the room again.

Maintenance and service

Tips about DHW tank temperature

  • Use a weekly schedule for your normal domestic hot water needs (only in scheduled mode).
  • Program to heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Comfort = higher DHW tank temperature) during the night, because then space heating demand is lower.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Program to turn ON the domestic hot water pump only during periods of the day when instant hot water is necessary. Example: In the morning and evening.

The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance. You can find the contact/helpdesk number via the user interface.

Go to [8.3]: Information > Dealer information.As end user, you have to:

  • Keep the area around the unit clean.
  • Keep the user interface clean with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use any detergents.

To display the help text in case of a malfunction

In case of a malfunction, the following will appear on the home screen depending on the severity:

  • Error
  • Malfunction

You can get a short and a long description of the malfunction as follows:

  1. Press the left dial to open the main menu and go to Malfunctioning. Result: A short description of the error and the error code is displayed on the screen.
  2. Press in the error screen. Result: A long description of the error is displayed on the screen.

To check the malfunction history

Conditions: The user permission level is set to advanced end user. Go to [8.2]: Information > Malfunction history. You see a list of the most recent malfunctions.

Symptom: You are feeling too cold (hot) in your living room

Possible cause Corrective action
You ran out of domestic hot water because of unusual high consumption. If you

immediately need domestic hot water, activate the DHW tank Powerful operation. However, this consumes extra energy. See “5.7.4 Using DHW powerful operation” 4[  13].

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 “5.8 Schedule screen: Example” 4[  14].

The desired DHW tank temperature is too low.

Symptom: You are feeling too cold (hot) in your living room

Possible cause Corrective action
The desired room temperature is too low (high). Increase (decrease) the

desired room temperature. See “5.6.2 To change the desired room temperature” 4[  12].

If the problem recurs daily, do one of the following:

▪     Increase (decrease) the room temperature preset value. See the user reference guide.

▪     Adjust the room temperature schedule. See “5.8 Schedule screen: Example” 4[  14].

The desired room temperature cannot be reached.| Increase the desired leaving water temperature in accordance with the heat emitter type. See “5.6.3 To change the desired leaving water temperature” 4[  12].
The weather-dependent curve is set incorrectly.| Adjust the weather-dependent curve. See “5.9 Weather- dependent curve” 4[  15].

Symptom: Heat pump failure

When the heat pump fails to operate, the backup 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 backup heater automatically takes over the domestic hot water production and space heating.
  • When Emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure occurs, the domestic hot water heating and space heating stops. To manually recover it via the user interface, go to the Malfunctioning main menu screen and confirm whether the backup heater can take over the heat load or not.
  • Alternatively, when Emergency is set to:
  • auto SH reduced/DHW on, space heating is reduced but domestic hot water is still available.
  • auto SH reduced/DHW off, space heating is reduced and domestic hot water is NOT available.
  • auto SH normal/DHW off, space heating operates as normally but domestic hot water is NOT available.

Similarly as in Manual mode, the unit can take the full load with the backup heater if the user activates this via the Malfunctioning main menu screen.

When the heat pump fails, 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” 4[  18].

INFORMATION
When the backup 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. 1         Perform hydraulic balancing to assure

that the flow is correctly              distributed between the emitters.

2         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” 4[ 18] 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.
