F135 – An excellent choice
F135 is part of a new generation of exhaust air modules, which have been
introduced to supply your home with inexpensive and environmentally
friendly heating. F135 is connected between the indoor module and air-
water heat pump and combines recycling of mechanical exhaust air by
exploiting the heat in the ventilation air to heat the house and hot water
at the same time that the house is ventilated. All control of F135 is from
the indoor module.
Excellent properties for F135:
■DC fan
An energy efficient DC fan (Class A) is integrated in the exhaust air
module.
■Low noise level
The exhaust air module has a very low noise level.
■Easy to install
The exhaust air module is easy to install together with the indoor module
and air/water heat pump. During installation the exhaust air module is
connected to the indoor module, which enables you to read off the ex-
haust air module's values from the indoor module's display.

The function of the exhaust air module
An exhaust air module uses the heat that is in the building's ventilation
air to heat up the house. The conversion of the ventilation air's energy to
residential heating is done in three different circuits. From the outgoing
ventilation air (1), free heating energy is retrieved from the house and
transported to the exhaust air module. The exhaust air module increases
the retrieved heat's low temperature to a high temperature in the refriger-
ant circuit, (2). The heat is distributed around the building in the heating
medium circuit (3).
Ventilation air
The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the air-water pump via the
house ventilation system.
A
The fan then routes the air to the exhaust air module's evaporator. Here,
the air releases the thermal energy to the brine 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 exhaust air
module, which also passes the evaporator. The refrigerant has a very low
C
boiling point. In the evaporator the refrigerant receives the heat energy
from the ventilation air and starts to boil.
The gas that is produced during boiling is routed into an electrically
powered compressor. When the gas is compressed, the pressure increases
D
and the gas's temperature increases considerably, from approx. 5 °C to
approx. 80°C.
From the compressor, gas is forced into a heat exchanger, condenser,
where it releases heat energy to the heating system in the house,
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
F
temperature. The refrigerant has now completed a full cycle. It is routed
to the evaporator again and the process is repeated.
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
Ventilation
The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the heat pump via the exhaust
air module.
J
The fan then routes the air to the exhaust air module heat exchanger.
Here, the air releases the heating energy to the brine and the air's temper-
ature drops significantly. The cold air is then blown out of the house.

Maintenance of F135
Regular checks
Your exhaust air module requires minimal maintenance after commission-
ing. On the other hand, it is recommended that you check your installation
regularly.
If F135 is installed with an indoor module and something untoward occurs,
a message appears regarding the malfunction in the form of different
alarm texts in the indoor module display.
Cleaning the ventilation devices
The building’s ventilation devices should be
cleaned regularly with, for example, a small
brush to maintain the correct ventilation.
The device settings must not be changed.
NOTE
If you take down more than one ventilation
device for cleaning, do not mix them up.
The temperatures are only examples and may vary between different installations and
time of year.
NIBE™ F135Chapter 2 | The heating installation – the heart of the
house

Cleaning the air filter
Clean the F135's air filter regularly, how often depends on the amount of
dust in the ventilation air. Select what is most suitable for your installation.
1. Cut the power to the exhaust air module.
2. Pull out the filter cassette.
3. Take out the filter and shake/vacuum off any dirt. Do not use water
or other liquids for cleaning.
4. Check that the filter is not damaged.
5. Carry out assembly in reverse order.
Even if the filter appears clean, dirt collects in it and this affects the effi-
ciency of the filter. Therefore, replace it after 2 years. New filters can be
ordered via the installer.

3 Disturbances in comfort
In most cases, the indoor module notes a malfunction (malfunctions can
lead to distruption in hot water comfort) and indicates this with alarms in
the display.
Info menu indoor module
All the indoor module measured values are gathered under menu 3.1 in
the indoor module menu system. Looking through the values in this menu
can often simplify finding the source of the fault.

Low pressure alarm
alarm
In the event of an alarm, some kind of malfunction has occurred, which is
indicated by the status lamp changing from green continuously to red
continuously. In addition, an alarm bell appears in the information window.
Alarm
If the alarm recurs, contact your installer for suitable remedial action.
NOTE
Always give the heat pump, control module and any accumulator tank
serial numbers when contacting your installer.
In the event of an alarm with a red status lamp a malfunction has occurred
that the indoor module cannot remedy itself. In the display, by turning
the control knob and pressing the OK button, you can see the type of
alarm it is and reset it. You can also choose to set the indoor module to
aid mode.
info / action Here you can read what the alarm means and receive tips
on what you can do to correct the problem that caused the alarm.
NIBE™ F135Chapter 3 | Disturbances in comfort12

reset alarm In most cases it is enough to select "reset alarm" to correct
the problem that caused the alarm. If a green light illuminates after select-
ing "reset alarm" the alarm has been remedied. If a red light is still visible
and a menu called ”alarm” is visible in the display, the problem that caused
the alarm remains. If the alarm disappears and then returns, contact your
installer.
aid mode ”aid mode” is a type of emergency mode. This means that the
indoor module produces heat and/or hot water, even though there is
some kind of problem with the indoor module.
Problems with F135 do not affect the indoor module's operation. You do
not need to select "aid mode" in event of problems with F135.
NOTE
To select aid mode an alarm action must be selected in the menu 5.1.4.
Caution
Selecting "aid mode” is not the same as correcting the problem that
caused the alarm. The status lamp will therefore continue to be red.
Resetting the alarm
Alarm reset can be carried out in two ways.
1. Select "yes" in menu 4.8.
2. Restart of F135 (on/off of voltage to F135).
In the event of an alarm reset, the control system restarts in the heat pump
and any alarms in F135 are reset.
NOTE
Contact your installer if the alarm recurs.
Troubleshooting
If the malfunction is not shown in the indoor module display, the following
tips can be used:
Low or a lack of ventilation
■The ventilation is not adjusted.
■Order ventilation adjustment.
■Filter blocked.
■Clean or replace filter (see page 11).

5 Glossary
Climate system
The climate system can also be called the heating and/or cooling system.
The building is cooled or heated using radiators, under floor coils or con-
vector fans.
Compressor
Compresses the gas state refrigerant. When the refrigerant is compressed,
the pressure and the temperature increase.
Condenser
Heat exchanger where the hot gas state refrigerant condenses (cooled
and becomes a liquid) and releases heat energy to the house heating and
hot water systems.
Disturbances in comfort
Disturbances in comfort are undesirable changes to the hot water/indoor
comfort, for example when the temperature of the hot water is too low
or if the indoor temperature is not at the desired level.
A malfunction in the heat pump can sometimes be noticed in the form of
a disturbance in comfort.
In most cases, the heat pump notes operational interference and indicates
this with alarms and shows instructions in the display.
Domestic hot water
The water one showers in for example.
Emergency mode
A mode that can be selected using the switch in the event of a fault, which
means that the compressor stops. When the heat pump is in emergency
mode, the building and/or hot water is heated using an immersion heater.
Evaporator
Heat exchanger where the refrigerant evaporates by retrieving heat energy
from the air which then cools.
Exhaust air
The air that comes from the exhaust air device in the various rooms of the
accommodation, to F135.
NIBE™ F135Chapter 5 | Glossary16

Exhaust air devices
Vents, usually in the ceiling, in the kitchen/bathroom/clothes closet where
the air is drawn in to be forwarded to F135.
Expansion valve
Valve that reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, whereupon the temper-
ature of the refrigerant drops.
Flow pipe
The line in which the heated water is transported from the heat pump out
to the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
Heat exchanger
Device that transfers heat energy from one medium to another without
mixing mediums. Examples of different heat exchangers are evaporators
and condensers.
Heating medium
Hot liquid, usually normal water, which is sent from the heat pump to the
house climate system and makes the accommodation warm. The heating
medium also heats the hot water.
Radiator
Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order
to be used with F135.
Refrigerant
Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and
that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evap-
oration, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and when condensing
gives off heating energy.
Supply temperature
The temperature of the heated water that the heat pump sends out to
the heating system. The colder the outdoor temperature, the higher the
supply line temperature becomes.
