8.6. Application 6

Space heating with room thermostat application through floor heating
loops and fan coil units. The floor heating loops and fan coil units
require different operating water temperatures.
The floor heating loops require a lower water temperature in heating
mode compared to fan coil units. To achive these two set points, a
mixing station is used to adapt the water temperature according to
requirements of the floor heating loops. The fan coil units are directly
connected to the unit water circuit and the floor heating loops after
the mixing station. The control of this mixing station is not done by the
unit.
The operation and configuration of the field water circuit is the
responsibility of the installer.
Daikin only offers a dual set point control function. By this function
two set points can be generated. Depending on the required water
temperature (floor heating loops and/or fan coil units are required)
first set point or second set point can be activated.

The advantage of the dual set point control is that the heat
pump will/can operate at the lowest required leaving water
temperature when only floor heating is required. Higher
leaving water temperatures are only required in case fan
coil units are operating.
This results in a better performance of the heat pump.

Pump operation and space heating
When the room thermostat for the floor heating loop (T1) and the fan
coil units (T2) are connected to the indoor unit, the pump (3) will
operate when there is a request for heating from T1 and/or T2. The
outdoor unit will start operating to achieve the target leaving water
temperature. The target leaving water temperature depends on which
room thermostat is requesting heating.

Make sure to connect the thermostat wires to the
correct terminals (see

Make sure to configure the field settings [7-02], [7-03]
and [7-04] correctly. Refer to

NOTICE
The request signals for space heating can be
implemented in two different ways (installer choice).

It is the installers responsibility to make sure no
unwanted situations can occur (e.g. too high water
temperatures towards floor heating loops, etc.)
FHL3
Daikin does not offer any type of mixing station. Dual
set point control only provides the possibility to use
two set points.
When only zone A requests heating, zone B will be
fed with water at a temperature equal to the first set
point.
This can lead to unwanted heating of zone B.
When only zone B requests heating, the mixing
station will be fed with water at a temperature equal to
the second set point.
Depending on the control of the mixing station, the
floor heating loop can still receive water at a
temperature equal to set point of the mixing station.
CAUTION
Be aware that the actual water temperature through the
floor heating loops depends on the control and setting of
the mixing station.
