9Chapter 3 | Indoor module's designNIBE™ VVM 310

General pipe connections
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
The system requires a low-temperature design of the
radiator circuit. At lowest dimensioned outdoor tem-
perature the highest recommended temperatures are
55 °C on the flow line and 45 °C on the return line, but
VVM 310 can handle up to 65 °C.
NOTE
Equip the product with a safety valve on both
the boiler side and domestic coil.
Overflow water from the safety valve goes via overflow
cups to a drain so that hot water splashes cannot cause
injury. The entire length of the overflow water pipe
must be inclined to prevent water pockets and must
also be frost proof.
NIBE recommends installing VVM 310 as close to the
heat pump as possible for optimum comfort. For further
information about the location of different compon-
ents, see section "Installation alternatives" in this
manual.
NOTE
Any high points in the climate system, must
be equipped with air vents.
NOTE
The pipe systems need to be flushed out be-
fore the indoor module is connected so that
any debris cannot damage component parts.
NOTE
Switch (SF1) must not be moved to ""or" "
until VVM 310 has been filled with water.
Otherwise the temperature limiter, thermostat
and the immersion heater etc can be dam-
aged.
Maximum boiler and radiator volumes
H
Internal volume in VVM 310
for calculating expansion
vessel is 250 l. The expansion
vessel's volume must be at
least 5 % of the system's total
volume.
Example table

Volume (l) expansion
vessel
Total volume (l) (indoor
module and climate sys-
tem)
501000
NOTE
Expansion vessel not supplied with the
product. Equip the product with an expansion
vessel.
The initial pressure of the pressure expansion vessel
must be dimensioned according to the maximum
height (H) between the vessel and the highest posi-
tioned radiator, see figure. An initial pressure of 0.5
bar (5 mvp) means a maximum permitted height differ-
ence of 5 m.
If the standard initial pressure in the pressure vessel is
not high enough it can be increased by filling via the
valve in the expansion vessel. The expansion vessel's
standard initial pressure must be entered in the check
list on page 3.
Any change in the initial pressure affects the ability of
the expansion vessel to handle the expansion of the
water.
System diagram
VVM 310 consists of domestic coil for water heating,
immersion heater, circulation pumps, buffer vessel and
control system. VVM 310 connects to the climate sys-
tem.
VVM 310 is designed for connection and communica-
tion with F2025/F2026/F2030/F2040/F2300.
F2025/F2026/F2030/F2040/F2300 and VVM 310 to-
gether make up a complete heating installation.
VVM 310 covers most of the heating and hot water
requirement down to the heat pump stop temperature.
When it is cold outdoors
F2025/F2026/F2030/F2040/F2300 works with VVM
310 and if the outdoor air temperature falls below the
heat pump stop temperature, all heating is carried out
by VVM 310.

Applies to NIBE F2025 and later models or
program version 51 and later versions.

Connecting hot water circulation
To reduce the risk of bacterial growth in systems with
hot water circulation, the temperature of the circulating
water should not fall below 50 °C. There should not be
any non-circulatory hot water pipes. Adjust the hot
