5.6 Air intake, air exhaust and connections
Make sure that there is sufficient space around the NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS.
The inlet air must not be polluted with aggressive components (ammonia, sulphur, chlorine etc.)
as components parts of the heat pump unit may be damaged. The air also needs to be free of
dust and other particles.
Inlet and outlet ducts must be made of rigid smooth pipes to minimize pressure losses. Please
take into account the fan working pressure and the ducts pressure losses during dimensioning
of the duct system (see technical data).
The two connections to the heat pump are Ø 160 m.
It is advised to install the air ducts near the heat pump, levelled or with a slight slope away from
the air in- and outlet to avoid ingress of condensed water from the duct system to the heat
pump.
When air ducts are connected to the outside of a building, a low resistance non return flap
should be installed to ensure that no cold air is entering the room during winter times when the
heat pump is not operating.
All air ducts have to be insulated after they have been installed to reduce heat loss and noise
level. Insulation has to be applied to protect against external condensation on the cold exhaust
duct.
It is recommended to mount a flexible connection between the air duct and duct connection to
ease future service of the unit.
It is also recommended to install silencer units in between the heat pump unit and the ventila-
tion system to avoid potential travel of noise from the unit to the ventilation system.
5.7 Connection of NIBE MT-WH 2029-1FS heating coil
In the NIBE MT-WH 2029-1FS there is an extra heat exchanger installed (1” coil, 0.8 m²,
enamelled on the outside). The pipe connections ¾” BSPT/ISO 7-1. In the sensor pocket for the
thermostat sensor there can also be placed a sensor to control the external connection e.g. oil
burner, wood burner etc. Max. diameter of the sensor is 6 mm.
Dirt in the pipe work must be avoided. After installation of the external pipes. Flush if required
before connection of the domestic hot water heat pump.
When installing the pipes please ensure that the pipe connections are not excessively stressed.
Use a pipe wrench to relax torque forces on the pipe connections!
Do not drill any holes for
fittings etc. in the unit. This could
potential damage the product
causing it to be having to be
scrapped.
The NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS
must always be disconnected from
the power before the top cover of
the unit is removed!
When the unit is disconnected from
the power, please wait until the fan
has stopped before dismantling the
top cover!
