Do not start F730 if there is a risk that the water in the
system has frozen.
Water may drip from the safety valve’s overflow pipe, so
the overflow pipe’s opening must be open. The safety
valves must be actuated regularly to remove dirt and to
check that they are not blocked.
If the supply cable is damaged, only NIBE, its service
representative or similar authorised person may replace
it to prevent any danger and damage.

F730 – An excellent choice
F730 is part of a new generation of heat pumps, which have been intro-
duced to supply your home with inexpensive and environmentally friendly
heating. Heat production is safe and economical with integrated hot
water heater, immersion heater, circulation pump and control system.
The heat pump can be connected to an optional low temperature heat
distribution system. e.g. radiators, convectors or underfloor heating. It
is also prepared for connection to several different accessories, for ex-
ample climate systems with different temperatures.
F730 is equipped with a control computer for good comfort, good eco-
nomy and safe operation. Clear information about status, operation time
and all temperatures in the heat pump are shown on the large and easy
to read display. This means, for example, that external unit thermometers
are not necessary.
EXCELLENT PROPERTIES FOR F730:
•Inverter controlled compressor
The heat pump has an inverter-controlled compressor that automatically
adapts itself optimally and economically to your house and supplies
your installation with heating and hot water.
•Scheduling the indoor comfort and hot water
Heating and hot water as well as ventilation, can be scheduled for each
day of the week or for longer periods (vacation).
•Display with user instructions
The heat pump has a large display with easy-to-understand menus that
facilitate setting a comfortable climate.
•Simple troubleshooting
In the event of a fault, the heat pump display shows what happened
and the actions to be taken.

2 The heat pump – the heart of
the house

Heat pump function
This exhaust air heat pump uses the heat that is in the building's ventil-
ation air to heat up the accommodation. The conversion of the air's en-
ergy to heating occurs in three different circuits. Free heating energy is
retrieved from the outgoing air (1) from the accommodation and trans-
ported to the heat pump. The heat pump increases the retrieved heat's
low temperature to a high temperature in the refrigerant circuit, (2). The
heat is distributed around the house in the heating medium circuit (3).
Ventilation air
The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the heat pump via the house
ventilation system. Outdoor air is only used if necessary.
A
The fan then routes the air to the heat pump’s evaporator. Here, the air re-
leases the heating energy and the air's temperature drops significantly. The
cold air is then blown out of 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 ventilation
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.
100°C.
D
From the compressor, the gas is forced into a heat exchanger, condenser,
where it releases heat energy to the heat pump’s heating section, whereupon
the gas is cooled and condenses to 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
Heat medium circuit
The heat energy that the refrigerant produces in the condenser is retrieved
by the climate system's water, heating medium, which is heated to 55 °C
(supply temperature).
G
The heating medium circulates in a closed system and transports the heated
water's heat energy to the heat pump's integrated hot water heater and the
radiators/heating coils of the house.
H
The heat pump’s integrated water heater is in the heating section. The
heating medium heats the hot water.
I
The temperatures are only examples and may vary between different installations and
time of year.
