(VWS only)
5.5.1 Description of functions for the heating
mode with buffer tank, DHW tank and
external passive cooling
The heating circuits are connected as a separating tank to
the heat pump via a buffer tank and are operated using an
external heating circuit pump via a heating circuit mixer.
By default, this is controlled by a flow temperature setpoint
control (¬ Ch. 9.4.3).
The VF2 flow temperature sensor sits behind the diverter
valve in the heating flow (because of the cooling function).
The heat pump responds to a demand for heat from the
buffer tank.
The heat pump also operates a DHW tank.

5.5.2 Installation instructions

> Install the hydraulic components in accordance with the
local requirements and as shown in the sample hydraulic
scheme below.
> If you do not use the optional accessory heat pump brine
filling unit for heat pumps (56) (¬ Fig. 5.6), install the
individual hydraulic components accordingly (¬ Fig. 5.9).
Dimension and install an external cooling heat exchanger.
> Connect a limit thermostat to ensure the underfloor
heating function on the heat pump.
> Connect the VF2 flow temperature sensor to ensure the
integral energy function.
> When starting up the unit, set Hydraulic Scheme No 10 in
the controller.
You can choose to use the VPS/2 multi storage tank as a
DHW tank.
> When connecting the hydraulics, observe the
¬ installation instructions for the cylinder and the
¬ geoTHERM planning information.
The 1" diverter valve supplied in the VPS/2 multi storage
tank must be replaced by two 3-way diverter valves that
must be installed on-site. The diverter valves must be con-
nected to the LP/UV1 terminal on the controller PCB (2)
(¬ Fig. 7.18).

As of VWS/VWW 380/2, the VPS/2 1500 multi
storage tank must be used.

The following only applies when installing the optional
external passive cooling:
Caution!
b
Risk of malfunction in cooling mode.
The buffer tank must not be in operation
during the cooling mode of the heat pump.
> Install a motor-driven 3-way diverter
valve in both the flow and return so that
the buffer tank is avoided in cooling
mode.
Caution: Schematic only!
These examples of hydraulic schemes do not contain all of
the shut-off and safety instruments that are required for
correct installation.
> Observe the applicable standards and regulations.
