1 General
Cetetherm Midi Compact is a complete, ready-to-install heating network substation for heating and hot water. It
is designed for buildings with a primary connection to a heating network. Cetetherm has years of experience in
heating network technology and has developed Midi Compact with well-planned pipe work and with all
components easily accessible for inspection and possible future servicing.
1.1 Comfort
Midi Compact has fully automatic temperature control for hot water. The hot water is controlled and maintained
at the desired temperature.
1.2 Installation
Before installation this manual must be read.
Well planned pipe work make installation very simple.
The Midi Compact is designed to be placed on the floor.
1.3 Long-term security
All the plates and pipes in the heat exchanger are made of acid-resistant stainless steel for long life. All
components are adjusted together and undergo thorough function testing in accordance with ISO 9001:2015
quality assurance system.
For future servicing requirements, all components are easily accessible and individually replaceable.
1.4 CE-marking
Midi Compact is CE-marked to certify that the substation conforms to international safety regulations. To
maintain the validity of the CE marking, only identical replacement parts must be used.
1.5 Information about the document
All pictures in this document are general images.
Midi Compact is available in different models and levels of equipment.

1.6 General warnings
The installation work must be carried out by an authorized installation contractor. Before the system
is taken into operation, it must be pressure tested in accordance with relevant regulations.
The temperature and the pressure of the district heating water are very high. Only duly qualified
technicians can work with the district heating substation. Incorrect operation may cause serious
personal injury and result in damage to the building.
If the hot water temperature is set too high, people may be scalded. If the hot water temperature is
set too low, unwanted bacteriological growth may occur in the hot water system. This can result in
serious personal injury.
Parts of the Midi Compact may get very hot and should not be touched.
Before the substation is connected to the electrical supply, make sure that the secondary heating
system is topped up with water. Starting up the system without water will damage the circulation
pump.
When starting up the district heating substation: To avoid the risk of scalding, make sure that no-
one draws any hot water until the hot water temperature has been adjusted.
Start district heating circulation by first opening the valve in the district heating supply and then
return lines, to avoid pollutions in the system. Open the valves slowly to avoid pressure surges. Do
the same way with the heating circuit, first open the valve for heating return then supply.
Do not shut of the electrical supply to the operator control panel. This will damage the circulation
pump, valves, actuators etc.
The heating station should be placed in a locked space, non-accessible for unauthorized personnel.

2 Operating instructions
2.1 Operation
The temperature and pressure of the incoming heating network water from the culvert network are very high.
For this reason, only the heat from this water is used. The heating network water does not enter the heating
and hot water systems of the building.
The heat from the heating network water is transferred to the heating and hot water systems of the building in
the heat exchangers. The heat is transferred through thin plates of acid-resistant stainless steel which keep the
heating network water completely separated from the systems in the building.
Midi Compact has automatic temperature control for hot water. The hot water temperature is controlled by a
temperature control system which is set to about 55 ºC.
After adjustment, the Midi Compact operates completely automatically. However, in hard water areas it is
advisable to be attentive and to remedy any faults in good time if the temperature of the hot water is too high;
otherwise the risk of lime deposits in the heat exchanger may increase.
2.2 Safety equipment/inspection
•Daily inspection to check for leaks from pipes or components.
•Weekly inspection to make sure that the operation of the heating and hot water control systems is
stable and that the temperature does not fluctuate. Temperature hunting causes unnecessary wear of
valves, actuators and heat exchangers.
•Every three months check the safety valves and the pressure in the heating system.
To check the operation of a safety valve, turn its wheel until water escapes from the waste pipe of the valve,
then close the wheel quickly. Occasionally a safety valve may open automatically to release excess pressure.
After a safety valve has been open it is important that it closes properly and does not drip.
Hot water temperature in apartments or one family houses can be set to about 55°C. If the temperature is set
too high, there is a risk of scalding. Setting the hot water temperature too low may result in unwanted
bacteriological growth in the hot water system.
The heating system is topped up via the topping up valve. Be sure to close the valve when the correct pressure
is reached. The water used to top up the system contains oxygen and may cause corrosion in the system. For
this reason, the system should be topped up as seldom as possible, at most once
If a joining must be loosened and then re-installed, for example when installing the substation or when
replacing a strainer unit, the joining gaskets should be exchanged to prevent leaks.
