General
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives. F1145 can operate with a
return temperature of up to 58 °C and an outgoing
temperature from the heat pump of 70 (65 °C with only
the compressor).
F1145 is not equipped with shut off valves; these must
be installed outside the heat pump to facilitate any future
servicing.
NOTE
The pipe system needs to be flushed out before
the heat pump is connected so that debris can-
not damage component parts.

System diagram
F1145 consists of heat pump, immersion heater, circula-
tion pumps and control system. F1145 is connected to
the brine and heating medium circuits.
In the heat pump evaporator, the brine (water mixed with
anti-freeze, glycol or ethanol) releases its energy to the
refrigerant, which is vaporised in order to be compressed
in the compressor. The refrigerant, of which the temper-
ature has now been raised, is passed to the condenser
where it gives off its energy to the heating medium circuit
and, if necessary, to any docked water heater. If there is
a greater need for heating/hot water than the compressor
can provide there is an integrated immersion heater.

Applies to PEM hose 40x2.4 PN 6.3.
These are rough example values. At installation the correct
calculations must be made according to local conditions.
Caution
The length of the collector hose varies depend-
ing on the rock/soil conditions, climate zone and
on the climate system (radiators or underfloor
heating).
Max length per coil for the collector should not exceed
400 m.
In those cases where it is necessary to have several collect-
ors, these should be connected in parallel with the pos-
sibility for adjusting the flow of the relevant coil.
For surface soil heat, the hose should be buried at a depth
determined by local conditions and the distance between
the hoses should be at least 1 metre.
For several bore holes, the distance between the holes
must be determined according to local conditions.
Ensure the collector hose rises constantly towards the
heat pump to avoid air pockets. If this is not possible,
airvents should be used.
As the temperature of brine system can fall below 0 °C
it must be protected against freezing down to -15 °C. 1
litre of ready mixed brine per meter of collector hose
(applies when using PEM-hose 40x 2.4 PN 6.3) is used as
a guide value when making the volume calculation.
Side connection
It is possible to angle the brine connections, for connec-
tion to the side instead of top connection.
* Can be angled for side connection.
13Chapter 4 | Pipe connectionsNIBE™ F1145

To angle out a connection:
1. Disconnect the pipe at the top connection.
2. Angle the pipe in the desired direction.
3. If necessary, cut the pipe to the desired length.
Connecting the brine side
႑Insulate all indoor brine pipes against condensation.
႑The level vessel must be installed as the highest point
in the brine system on the incoming pipe before the
brine pump (Alt. 1).
If the level vessel cannot be placed at the highest point
an expansion vessel must be used (Alt. 2).
NOTE
Note that condensation may drip from the level
vessel. Position the vessel so that this does not
harm other equipment.
႑Details of the antifreeze used must be shown on the
level vessel.
႑Install the supplied safety valve under the level vessel
as illustrated. The entire length of the overflow water
pipe from the safety valves must be inclined to prevent
water pockets and must also be frost proof.
႑Install shut off valves as close to the heat pump as
possible.
႑Fit the supplied particle filter on the incoming pipe.
In the case of connection to an open groundwater system,
an intermediate frost-protected circuit must be provided,
because of the risk of dirt and freezing in the evaporator.
This requires an extra heat exchanger.

Hot water heater
Connecting the hot water heater
႑Any docked hot water heater must be fitted with ne-
cessary set of valves.
႑The mixing valve must be installed if the setting is
changed so that the temperature can exceed 60 °C.
The setting is made in menu 5.1.1 (page 60)
႑The safety valve must have a maximum 10.0 bar
opening pressure and be installed on the incoming
domestic water line as illustrated. The entire length
of the overflow water pipe from the safety valves must
be inclined to prevent water pockets and must also
be frost proof.
T
Heating medium side
Connecting the climate system
A climate system is a system that regulates indoor comfort
with the help of the control system in F1145 and for ex-
ample radiators, underfloor heating/cooling, fan con-
vectors etc.
႑Install all required safety devices, shut-off valves (as
close to the heat pump as possible), and particle filter.
႑The safety valve must have a maximum 2.5 bar
opening pressure and be installed on the outgoing
heating medium as illustrated. The entire length of
the overflow water pipe from the safety valves must
be inclined to prevent water pockets and must also
be frost proof.
႑When connecting to a system with thermostats on
all radiators, a relief valve must be fitted, or some of
the thermostats must be removed to ensure sufficient
flow.
NIBE™ F1145Chapter 4 | Pipe connections14

Docking alternatives
F1145 can be connected in several different ways, some
of which are shown below.
Further option information is available at www.nibe.eu
and in the respective assembly instructions for the ac-
cessories used. See page 73 for a list of the accessories
that can be used with F1145.
Ventilation recovery
The installation can be supplemented with the exhaust
air module NIBE FLM to provide ventilation recovery.
႑Pipes and other cold surfaces must be insulated with
diffusion-proof material to prevent condensation.
႑The brine system must be supplied with a pressure
expansion vessel (CM3). If there is a level vessel (CM2)
this should be replaced.

Two or more climate systems
When more than one climate system, with a lower tem-
perature, is to be heated up, the following connection
can be used. The shunt valve lowers the temperature to,
for example, the under floor heating system.
The ECS 40 accessory is required for this connection.
T
Ground water system
An intermediate heat exchanger is used to protect the
heat pump's exchanger from dirt. The water is released
into a buried filtration unit or a drilled well. See page 24
for more information about connecting a ground water
pump.
Pool
Charging of the pool is controlled by the pool sensor. In
the case of low pool temperatures, the shuttle valve re-
verses direction and opens towards the pool exchanger.
The POOL 40 accessory is required for this connection.
