Transport
F130 should be transported and stored vertically in a dry
place.
Assembly
•F130 is installed freestanding on brackets or a suitable
flat surface. Noise from the fan and compressor can
be transferred to the brackets or the surface that F130
is placed on. Use the product's adjustable feet to ob-
tain a horizontal and stable set-up.
Because water comes from F130, the floor coating is
important. A waterproof floor or floor membrane is
recommended.
30 - 50 mm
30 - 50 mm
15 - 40 mm
20-55 mm
•Because water comes from F130, it is good if the area
where the heating pump is located is provided 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 bed-
room 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 free space of 800 mm in front of the product.
Leave free space between F130 and wall/other ma-
chinery/fittings/cables/pipes etc. It is recommended that
a space of at least 10 mm is left to reduce the risk of
noise and of any vibrations being propagated.

General pipe
connections
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
F130 is only designed for upright installation. All connec-
tions are equipped with smooth pipe for compression
ring couplings.
Overflow water from the evaporator's collect-
ing trough is routed via the supplied 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.

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 32).
Installation alternative
F130 must be connected according to the instructions
in this manual.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with cur-
rent standards and directives.
EXHAUST AIR
Connecting the exhaust air
With an exhaust air connection the heat in the building'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) (enclosed), minimum classi-
fication G2, is required on the exhaust air duct
for this connection. The filter must be cleaned
regularly.
Caution
Noise from the fan can be transferred via the
ventilation ducts.
15Chapter 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.
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 connections16

General ventilation
connections
• Ventilation installation must be carried out in accord-
ance with current norms and directives.
• Connections must be made via flexible hoses, which
should be installed so that they are easy to replace.
• Provision must be made for inspection and cleaning
of the duct.
• Make sure that there are no reductions of cross-sec-
tional 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 tight-
ness class B.
• To prevent fan noise being transferred to the ventila-
tion devices, silencers should be installed in the duct
system. In the event of ventilation devices in noise-
sensitive rooms, silencers must be installed.
• Ducts that may become cold must be insulated with
diffusion-proof material (at least PE30 or equivalent)
along their entire length.
• Ensure that the condensation insulation is fully sealed
at any joints and/or at lead-in nipples, silencers, roof
cowls or similar.
• A duct in a masonry chimney stack must not be used
for extract air.
• The heat pump must be provided with the enclosed
air filter (HQ12).
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 in-
stallations.
Always use a kitchen fan when cooking.
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 using
a sharp knife. The plastic is prepared for easy cut-
ting.
4. Press the filter cartridge into place in the connection
for incoming air (XL43).

INSTALL THE CONNECTOR
If a filter solution other than that enclosed is used, the
enclosed coupling must instead be mounted in the
connection for incoming air (XL43).
INSTALL THE SILENCER
1. Remove the plugs from the silencer enclosed.
2. Install the silencer in the connector for outgoing air
(XL44).

Ventilation flow
(exhaust air)
Connect F130 so that all the exhaust air, except kitchen
duct air (kitchen fan), passes through the evaporator
(EP1) in the heat pump.
The ventilation flow must comply with the applicable
national standards.
For optimum heat pump performance, the ventilation
flow must not be less than 20 l/s (72 m³/h) at normal
exhaust air temperature. At lower exhaust air temperat-
ures, a higher flow is required.
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.
Incorrect adjustment of the ventilation may lead to re-
duced installation efficiency and thus poorer operating
economy, and may cause moisture damage in the
building
