Transport
Transport
F130 should be transported and stored vertically in a
dry place. The F130 may, however, be carefully laid on
its back when being moved into a building. The centre
of gravity is in the upper part.
Assembly
■F130 is installed freestanding on brackets or above
the water heater or a suitable flat surface. Noise from
the fan can be transferred to the brackets or the
surface that F130 is placed on.
If F130 is positioned above a water heater or on a
flat surface you must adjust the feet so that the heat
pump is horizontal.
30 - 50 mm
30 - 50 mm
15 - 40 mm
■The area where F130 is located must be equipped
with floor drainage.
■F130 must be positioned with the back towards a
wall. Install the brackets or position F130 against an
outside wall, ideally in a room where noise does not
matter, in order to eliminate noise problems. If this
is not possible, avoid placing it against a wall behind
a bedroom or other room where noise may be a
problem.
■Wherever the unit is located, walls to sound sensitive
rooms should be fitted with sound insulation.
■Route pipes so they are not fixed to an internal wall
that backs on to a bedroom or living room.
Installation area
Leave a space of 700 mm in front of the heat pump.
Approx 50 mm free space is required in order to open
the side hatches.

General pipe connections
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
F130 is only designed for upright installation. All con-
nections are equipped with smooth pipe for compres-
sion ring couplings.
Overflow water from the evaporator's
collecting trough is routed via the sup-
plied plastic hose to a drain. Shape the
hose into a water seal (see image).
The entire length of the overflow water
pipe must be inclined to prevent water
pockets and must also be frost-proof.
To make the installation economical, NIBE recommends
that all pipes between F130 and the water heater are
insulated. The insulation should be at least 12 mm thick.
NOTE
The pipe systems need to be flushed out be-
fore F130 is connected so that any debris can-
not damage component parts.

System diagram
F130 consists of heat pump module and control system.
When the air passes through the evaporator, the refri-
gerant evaporates because of its low boiling point. In
this way the energy in the air is transferred to the refri-
gerant.
The refrigerant is then compressed in a compressor,
causing the temperature to rise considerably.
The warm refrigerant is led to the condenser. Here the
refrigerant gives off its energy to the hot water,
whereupon the refrigerant changes state from gas to
liquid.
The refrigerant then goes via filters to the expansion
valve, where the pressure and temperature are reduced.
The refrigerant has now completed its circulation and
returns to the evaporator.

Connecting cold and hot water
For optimal hot water operation, install the supplied
choke washer.
The washer is installed in the connection for outgoing
hot water (XL41) or connection for incoming hot water
(XL42) before the compression connection is installed.
For more information about connection to water
heater, see its manual.
XL41 or XL42
Choke washer
Compression ring
coupling
The mixer valve must be installed if the factory setting
is changed so that the temperature can exceed 60 °C.
If the factory setting is changed, national regulations
must be observed. The setting is made in menu 5.1.1
(page 28).
Installation alternative
Installation must be carried out in accordance with
current standards and directives.
Exhaust air
Connecting the exhaust air
With an exhaust air connection the heat in the build-
ing's ventilation air is used to heat the hot water while
the house is ventilated.
The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the heat
pump via the house ventilation system.
NOTE
An air filter (HQ12) (supplied), minimum clas-
sification G2, is required on the exhaust air
duct of this connection. The filter must be
cleaned regularly.
Caution
Noise from the fan can be transferred via the
ventilation ducts.
13Chapter 4 | Pipe and air connectionsNIBE™ F130

Surrounding air
Connecting surrounding air
With surrounding air connection the heat in the room air
is used to heat up the hot water. The outgoing air can be
used to cool a room.
■If the incoming air is taken from the same room where
the outgoing air is released it is important that the pipe
for incoming air is not located so that the outgoing air
is sucked into the heat pump. This can be prevented by
the putting a bend in one of the air pipes.
■Have sufficient ceiling height so that recirculation of the
air is avoided.
■If incoming air to F130 contains a lot of particles and
there is a high hot water demand the heat pump must
be equipped with an air filter (HQ12) (supplied), minim-
um class G2.
■Noise from the fan can be transferred to the room via
the air pipes.
■In installations where air is taken from one room and
released into another, there can be over pressure if the
room is not ventilated correctly. This can lead to damp
in the building.
Caution
Outgoing air from F130 is cold and can therefore
cool the room when it is released.
Take incoming air from one room and release the
outgoing air to the same room.
Take incoming air from one room and release the outgoing air to another room or outdoors.
NIBE™ F130Chapter 4 | Pipe and air connections14

General air connections
Air installation must be carried out in accordance with
applicable directives.
To prevent fan noise being transferred via the air ducts,
it may be a good idea to install a silencer in the ducts.
Connections must be made via flexible hoses, which
must be installed so that they are easy to replace. Ducts
must be provided with diffusion-tight insulation (PE30)
over its entire length. With any joints and/or lead-in
nipple, silencer, roof cowl or similar, ensure that the
condensation insulation is properly sealed. Provision
must be made for inspection and cleaning of the duct.
Make sure that there are no reductions of cross-section-
al area in the form of creases, tight bends etc, since this
will reduce the ventilation capacity. The air duct system
must be a minimum of air tightness class B.
If there is a high hot water demand and incoming air
to F130 contains a lot of particles the heat pump
module must be equipped with an air filter (HQ12)
(supplied).

Install the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge has two sizes of connector, 125 mm
or 160 mm.
1. Check the diameter of the air channel for inlet air.
2. When the air duct has a large diameter (Ø 160 mm)
the inner ring must be cut out of the upper section
of the filter cartridge.
3. Cut just inside the inner edge of the outer ring us-
ing a sharp knife. The plastic is prepared for easy
cutting.
4. Press the filter cartridge into place in the connec-
tion for incoming air (XL43).
Mora kniv
LEK

Install the connector
If the filter cartridge is not installed the supplied con-
nector is installed in the connection for incoming air
(XL43).
Exhaust air duct /kitchen fan
Exhaust air duct (kitchen fan) must not be connected
to F130.
To prevent food vapour being transferred to F130 the
distance between the kitchen fan and the exhaust air
device must be considered. The distance should not be
less than 1.5 m, but this can vary between different
installations.
Always use a kitchen fan when cooking.
NOTE
A duct in a masonry chimney stack must not
be used for extract air.
Ventilation flow (exhaust air)
Connect F130 so that all exhaust air except exhaust air
duct air (kitchen fan) passes the evaporator (EP1) in
the heat pump. For optimum heat pump performance
the ventilation flow should not be less than 25 l/s (90
m³/h). On occasions when the exhaust air temperatures
are lower than 20 °C (for example on start up and when
there is no one in the accommodation) the minimum
value is 31 l/s (110 m³/h).
Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
Set the ventilation capacity in the heat pump's menu
system (menu 5.1.5).
Adjusting ventilation (exhaust
air)
To obtain the necessary air exchange in every room of
the house, the exhaust air devices must be correctly
positioned and adjusted and the fan in the heat pump
adjusted.
Immediately after installation adjust the ventilation so
that it is set according to the projected value of the
house.
A defective ventilation installation may lead to reduced
installation efficiency and thus poorer operating eco-
nomy, and may result in moisture damage to the house.
