Instructions for installation and use

12. Installation instructions, recirculation connection

Systems with domestic hot water recirculation
If the household piping system features domestic hot water recircula-
tion, the substation must be connected to the recirculation system.
The circulation set for recirculation connection is not standard equip-
ment. The set must be purchased as extra equipment.
We recommend establishing recirculation BEFORE mounting
the substation on the wall.
Connect the recirculation pipe from the fixed household piping
system to the hexagon nipple at the bottom of the substation (see
the bottom of the page for instructions about how to make the re-
circulation connection).
You must always fit a pump and non-return valve to the circulation
pipe, with flow direction in towards the substation.
If a time-controlled pump is used, we recommend setting the circula-
tion water temperature to approx. 35°C.
Please note that if the circulation pump (outside the substation) is
stopped for a protracted period, we recommend shutting off the
by-pass thermostat for the same period.
NB!
Please note that substations fitted with Danfoss AVE expansion units
must not be used on systems with DHW recirculation.
The photo to the right presents an Akva Lux II S substation, but in prin-
ciple, the recirculation connection procedure can be carried out in the
same way, regardless of substation type.

Remove the existing capillary tube between the bypass thermo-
stat and the T-piece (see top photo). NB! The capillary tube may be
mounted in front of the T-piece on TD substations!

Remove the nipples/plugs from the domestic hot water controller
(use a 6 mm Allen key). Do not re-use the plugs!

Fit hose end (A2) and hexagon nipple (D) through the mounting
rail at the bottom (and finish off by connecting the household
recirculation pipe to the hexagon nipple D).
