Control module's function
SMO 20 is a simple control module, which, together with a NIBE air/water heat pump, accumulator/water heater
and additional heating (e.g. electric/gas boiler), creates a complete installation. Among other things, it controls
the heat pump, circulation pumps, reversing valves and additional heat to supply your home with environmentally
friendly heating in the most efficient way.
