F130 – An excellent choice
F130 is part of a new generation of heat pumps that have been introduced
to supply your home with inexpensive and environmentally friendly hot
water. Hot water production is safe and economical with an external
water heater and integrated control system.
F130 is equipped with a control computer to give you good comfort,
good economy and safe operation. Information about status, operating
time and all temperatures in the heat pump are shown on the clear dis-
play.
EXCELLENT PROPERTIES FOR F130:
•EU directive
Conventional incandescent bulbs were phased out of the market sev-
eral years ago. This also now applies to electric water heaters.
Heat pump water heaters are one way of satisfying the new EU direct-
ive and F130 has been developed specifically to fulfil that directive.
NIBE F130Chapter 1 | Important information6

F130 consumes approximately 1/4 of the power of a corresponding
conventional electrical water heater. This gives great savings and F130
therefore pays for itself quickly.
•Scheduling hot water and ventilation
Hot water and ventilation can be scheduled for each day of the week
or for longer periods (vacation).
•Display with user instructions
The heat pump has a display with easy-to-understand menus that facil-
itate setting a comfortable hot water level.
•Simple troubleshooting
In the event of a fault, the heat pump display shows what happened.

2 The heating installation – the
heart of the house

Heat pump function
The heat pump uses the heat that is in the air to heat up the domestic
hot water. The conversion of the air's energy to hot water occurs in three
different circuits. From the outgoing exhaust air, surrounding air or indoor
air, (1), free heat energy is retrieved and transported to the heat pump.
In the refrigerant circuit, (2) the heat pump increases the retrieved heat's
low temperature to a high temperature. In the heating medium circuit,
(3) the heat is distributed to the water heater.
The air
Air is transferred from outdoors or from the rooms via ducts to the heat
pump.
A
The fan then routes the air to the heat pump’s evaporator. Here, the air re-
leases the heating energy to the brine and the air's temperature drops signi-
ficantly. The cold air is then blown out of the house or into a room in the
house.
B
Refrigerant circuit
A liquid, a refrigerant, circulates in a closed system in the heat pump which
also passes the evaporator. The refrigerant has a very low boiling point. In
the evaporator the refrigerant receives the heat energy from the air and starts
to boil.
C
The gas that is produced during boiling is routed into an electrically powered
compressor. When the gas is compressed, the pressure increases and the
gas’s temperature increases considerably, from approx. 5°C to approx. 80°C.
D
From the compressor, gas is forced into a heat exchanger, condenser, where
it releases heat energy to the domestic hot water, whereupon the gas is
cooled and condenses to a liquid form again.
E
As the pressure is still high, the refrigerant can pass an expansion valve,
where the pressure drops so that the refrigerant returns to its original tem-
perature. The refrigerant has now completed a full cycle. It is routed to the
evaporator again and the process is repeated.
F
Domestic hot water
The heat energy that the refrigerant produces in the condenser is retrieved
by the domestic hot water which is heated to the set temperature.
G
The temperatures are only examples and may vary between different installations and
time of year.

DISPLAY UNIT
A
B C D E
There is a display unit on F130, which is used to communicate with F130.
Here you:
• set the hot water and ventilation, if any, as well as adjust the heat
pump to your needs.
• receive information about settings, status and events.
• see different types of alarms.
Display
Instructions, settings and operational information are shown on the
display.
A
Stand-by button
F130 can be switched to stand-by mode using the standby button.
The compressor and fan are then switched off. Hold the button in for
three seconds to activate/deactivate standby mode.
