GENERAL FEATURES
Unit description
This series of water-water heat pumps satises the heating,
cooling and domestic hot water production requirements of resi-
dential plants of small and medium size.
All the units are suitable for indoor installation and can be ap-
plied to fan coil plants, radiant oor plants and high efciency
radiators plants.
As source both water (from well, river, lake…) or brine solutions
(from geothermic probes) can be used.
The control system allows to manage not only the refrigerant
circuit but the whole plant with the possibility to choose different
solutions both for the heating and cooling plant and for the do-
mestic hot water management. The possibility of solar panels or
other heating sources integration is also available.
The heating function optimizes the ow water temperature ac-
cording both to the ambient temperature and to the outdoor tem-
perature through climatic curves adaptable to the building featu-
res. It’s possible to manage a storage tank and two independent
circuits (a direct one and a mixed one).
The domestic hot water management allows to control the th-
ree way valve, the storage tank and the anti-legionella cycles (if
necessary).
The cooling function can be realized through “passive cooling”
(free cooling), through “active cooling” (refrigerant circuit inver-
sion) or through both systems actuated in sequence. When the
unit is used in radiant oor plants, to avoid condensate genera-
tion, a room humidity sensor can be installed.
The internal programmer clock allows to dene different daily
switching programs for heating, cooling and domestic hot water
production.
The refrigerant circuit, contained in an extractable box to sim-
plify the maintenance operations, is equipped with rotary com-
pressor mounted on damper supports, brazed plate heat ex-
changers, thermostatic expansion valve and reverse cycle valve
(for reversible units). The circuit is protected by high and low
pressure switches and ow switches on both the exchangers.
The outdoor structure and the refrigerant circuit box are both
thermally and acoustically insulated in order to create a dou-
ble wall against sound propagation and to allow the installation
in domestic places.
To avoid vibration propagation towards the hydraulic circuit the
refrigerant circuit box is placed on damper supports and the con-
nection pipes are exible. Moreover all the hydraulic pipes are
thermally insulated to avoid condensate generation.
All the units are accurately built and individually tested in the
factory. Only electric and hydraulic connections are required for
installation.

GENERAL FEATURES
Description of components
External structure Basement, lateral panels and frontal panel,
are completely thermally and acoustically insulated in order to
minimize thermal losses and noise emissions in the surroundings.
Accessibility to internal parts is possible removing the frontal
panel and the upper panel. For extraordinary manteinances also
the rear panel can be removed.
Refrigerant circuit It is contained inside an extractable box
to simplify the maintenance operations. The box is placed on
rubber vibration dampers and is connected to the hydraulic
circuit through flexible pipes in order to avoid the propagation
of the vibrations generated by the compressor outside the unit.
The hermetic rotary compressor (1) is mounted on damper
supports and is protected against overtemperatures and
overcurrents. The heat exchangers on the plant side (2) and
on the source side (3) are realized with brazed stainless steel
plates, properly insulated to avoid condensate generation and
to minimize thermal losses, and protected by a flow switch that
detects whatever water flow lack. The expansion device (4),
a thermostatic expansion valve with external equalizer, allows
the unit to adjust itself to the different operating conditions
keeping steady the set superheating. The refrigerant circuit of
each unit contains moreover solid core hermetic filter dryer (5)
to restrain impurity and moisture residuals that could be present
in the circuit, high and low pressure switches in order to
assure the compressor to operate inside the permitted limits, 4
way reverse cycle valve (6) to allow operating mode change
reversing the refrigerant flow (only for reversible heat pumps),
pressure connections SAE 5/16” - UNF 1/2” - 20 equipped
with pin, gasket and blind nut, as required for the use of R410A
refrigerant (they allow the complete check of the refrigerant
circuit : compressor inlet pressure, compressor outlet pressure,
thermostatic expansion valve upstream pressure and pressure
drops accross the filter). All the pipes of the refrigerant circuit
are properly insulated to avoid condensate generation and to
minimize thermal losses.
Hydraulic circuit Both the hydraulic circuit on the plant side
and on the source side are equipped with expansion vessel,
air vents and drain valves. All the pipes are thermally insulated
to avoid condensate generation and minimize thermal losses.
The circuit on the plant side is moreover equipped with pressure
safety valve, pressure gauge and three speed glandless pump
while the water flow rate on the source side can be adjusted by
means of a three speed glandless pump or by means of a two
way valve.
Electrical panel. It contains all the power, control and security
components necessary to guarantee the unit to work properly.
The unit is managed by a microprocessor controller to which
all the electrical loads and the control devices are connected.
The user interface, placed on the frontal panel of the unit, allows
to view and to modify, if necessary, all the parameters of the unit.
All the units are supplied with an outdoor temperature sensor,
to be installed outside, in order to realize the climatic control.

GENERAL FEATURES
Control system
The microprocessor controller is able to manage not only the
unit itself but also all that components of the plant which allow to
realize a complete system.
The main functions of the control system are :
- room temperature control according to the outdoor
temperature (climatic control)
- domestic hot water production (management of 3 way valve,
storage tank, anti legionella cycles…)
- management of a heating and/or cooling mixed circuit (pump
and 3 way mixing valve)
- management of a heating direct circuit (only pump)
- management of a storage tank for heating and/or cooling
- management of electrical heaters for heating and domestic
hot water (3 steps logic)
- solar panels integration
- passive cooling
- room humidity control for cooling with radiant systems
- internal programmer clock (for heating, cooling and domestic
hot water)
- digital input for electrical energy low tariff
- alarm memory management and diagnostic
- compressor and pump operating hour counter
- possibility to manage more units in cascade (maximum 16)
Besides the standard user interface present on all the units,
wired or wireless remote thermostats are available which allow
to control all the operating parameters of the unit and to acquire
the temperature in the different zones in order to realize a more
precise and comfortable control.
The unit controller is able to manage a lot of different plant
solutions enabling automatically the necessary control
algorythms according to the components which have been
connected.
The management of such components is possible through ad-
ditional expansion modules which communicate with the unit by
means of an internal bus and provide all the inputs and outputs
required to full a complete system.
The controller is able to manage up to two zones in heating
(one by means of a mixed circuit and the other by means of a
direct circuit) and one zone in cooling (by means of a mixed
circuit).
It’s possible to realize more complex plants connecting to the
heat pump controller further expansion modules in order to
extend without limits the number of zones to be managed.
For each zone the following parameters can be set :
- set point
- daily or weekly operating time table
- climatic control curve
- room control sensor : it can be in common with the other
zones or independent (in that case it’s necessary to install
an additional room thermostat)
