10-270 Function By connecting a wood-fired boiler via accumulator tank to NIBE SPLIT ACVM270, hot water and heat to the house can be produced by it. If there is no heat in the accumulator tank, heat and hot water are produced by the heat pump or by the internal immersion heater according to the selected operating mode.
