Setting Up An Auxiliary Heat Source For Space Heating - Daikin Altherma 3 GEO Series Installer's Reference Manual

5 Application guidelines
▪ For more information about connecting the electrical wiring to the
unit, see "8.2 Overview of electrical connections for external and
actuators" [ 4 33].
internal
▪ For the main zone:
▪ A mixing valve station is installed before the underfloor heating.
▪ The pump of the mixing valve station is controlled by the ON/
OFF signal on the indoor unit (X2M/29 and X2M/21; normally
closed shut-off valve output).
▪ The room temperature is controlled by the dedicated Human
Comfort Interface (BRC1HHDA used as room thermostat).
▪ For the additional zone:
▪ The heat pump convectors are directly connected to the indoor
unit.
▪ The desired room temperature is set via the remote controller of
the heat pump convectors for each room.
▪ The heating or cooling demand signals of each heat pump
convector are connected in parallel to the digital input on the
indoor unit (X2M/35a and X2M/30). The indoor unit will only
supply the desired additional leaving water temperature when
there is an actual demand.
▪ The user interface integrated in the indoor unit decides the space
operation mode. Mind that the operation mode on each remote
controller of the heat pump convectors must be set to match the
indoor unit.

the ambient temperature of the

Interface.

▪ Other rooms = external room
thermostat functionality
1 (Dual zone): Main + additional
1 (1 contact): When the used
external room thermostat or
heat pump convector can only
send a thermo ON/OFF
condition. No separation between
heating or cooling demand.
Set to follow the thermo demand
of the main zone.
If the main zone must be shut off
during cooling mode to prevent
condensation on the floor, set it
accordingly.
Set the desired main leaving
water temperature for heating
and/or cooling.
Benefits
▪ Comfort.
▪ The smart room thermostat functionality can decrease or
increase the desired leaving water temperature based on the
actual room temperature (modulation).
▪ The combination of the two heat emitter systems provides the
excellent heating comfort of the underfloor heating, and the
excellent cooling comfort of the heat pump convectors.
▪ Efficiency.
▪ Depending on the demand, the indoor unit supplies different
leaving water temperature matching the design temperature of
the different heat emitters.
▪ Underfloor heating has the best performance with the heat
pump system.
5.3 Setting up an auxiliary heat source
for space heating
▪ Space heating can be done by:
▪ The indoor unit
▪ An auxiliary boiler (field supply) connected to the system
▪ When the room thermostat requests heating, the indoor unit or the
auxiliary boiler starts operating depending on the outdoor
temperature (status of the changeover to external heat source).
When the permission is given to the auxiliary boiler, the space
heating by the indoor unit is turned OFF.
▪ Bivalent operation is only possible for space heating, NOT for
domestic hot water production. Domestic hot water is always
produced by the DHW tank connected to the indoor unit.
INFORMATION
▪ During heating operation of the heat pump, the
heat pump operates
temperature set via the user interface. When weather-
dependent operation is active, the water temperature is
determined automatically depending on the outdoor
temperature.
▪ During heating operation of the auxiliary boiler, the
auxiliary boiler operates to achieve the desired water
temperature set via the auxiliary boiler controller.
Setup
▪ Integrate the auxiliary boiler as follows:
