3.11 Refrigerant circuit – description The cooling system is optimized for extracting the heat from the inlet air. Via the cooling system the extracted heat is transferred to the water. The process is only possible with the addition of additional external energy in the compressor. The cooling system is a closed system where the HCFC-free refrigerant R134a is the energy carrier.

Inlet of fresh cold water is mounted on the bottom connecting branch. 5.5 Connection of condensate drain While the NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS is running, condensate will form, which is to be discharged to the sewage drain via the condensate drain pipe, Ø 19 mm connection outside. The quantity of condensate depends upon the humidity of the air fed to the NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS.
5.7 Connection of NIBE MT-WH 2029-1FS heating coil In the NIBE MT-WH 2029-1FS there is an extra heat exchanger installed (1” coil, 1.2 m²). In the sensor pocket for the thermostat sensor there can also be placed a sensor to control the external Temperatures above 90 °C...
Power up the unit. A counter displays the numbers 1 to 9 followed by display of the controller model (170) for 3 sec. and the software version for 3 sec. Then the top of water tank tempera- ture is displayed and the unit engages operation. The NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS is now ready for use.
7 Controls and Operations 7.1 Control panel Optima 170 The NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS domestic hot water heat pump is delivered with an Optima 170 control with factory settings so that the heat pump is ready for operation without additional adjustments.

7 Control and Operations P2: Controlling the electrical immersion heater The “immersion heater”-key is pressed and held. Then the setting can be changed with the arrow keys. The heat pump is supplied with an electrical immersion heater for heating of the domestic water. At outside temperatures below 0°C it may be beneficial to use the immersion heater as a sup- plement for heating the domestic water.
7.3.1 Display view (main menu) The display show the various temperatures by pressing the arrow keys. Press until the number of the sensor of the desired temperature appears. After approximately 3 seconds the temperature is displayed. The relevant temperature is displayed for about 30 seconds before the display goes back to normal view.

7 Control and Operations E2: T9 temperature set point Here a temperature can be set which can be used in connection with menu item E19 and tem- perature sensor T9. This is a separate sensor, which is not part of standard delivery. See E19=2, 4 or 5 for further description.
Page 25
E13: Floor heating temperature Here a temperature is set, which can be used in connection with menu item E19=2, i.e., the minimum temperature, at which the circulation pump for the floor heating starts. If the tempera- ture T8 (water tank, bottom) is less than the value set at menu point E13, the circulation pump stops.

When the pump (relay R9) is activated, the heat pump and the electrical immersion heater switches off. After the pump (relay R9) is deactivated the following happens after 15 min: • If the T5 temperature (before evaporator) is greater than 5.5 °C, the heat pump is activated. •...

7 Control and Operations E25: Fan speed mode 1 + 2 If extraction of air for a longer period of time is required, mode 2 (P1) can be chosen. The fan will now run, until it is change to a different mode. Enter the speed, at which the fan is to run when mode 2 is chosen.
Page 29
E32: PV control threshold time The required time (minutes) where the T10 input must be higher than the E31 set point before the heat pump starts in PV mode. This parameter allows filtering of input power and avoidance of heat pump starts on short spikes of excess PV power.

7.6 Table for defrosting T5 before evaporator °C T6 evaporator °C The defrost function runs according to the table for defrosting above. If the T5 temperature (before evaporator) is equal to a temperature in the table then the defrosting will start, if the corresponding T6 temperature (evaporator) drops below the temperature in the table.
The unit is used exclusively for heating domestic water within the set temperature limit. Auxiliary function for supplying a small floor heating unit or for alter- native heat input is available in the NIBE MT-WH 2029-F/1FS S model. 7.7.2 Performance The domestic hot water heat pump can heat 367 litres of water from 10 °C to 52.5 °C within...
7.7.7 Extra heating capacity If a situation arises where the domestic hot water heat pump is not able to provide enough hot water, it is possible to activate the built-in electrical immersion heater. About twice as much water can now be heated in the same period of time. You can set the temperature to which the electrical immersion heater is to heat the water.
Page 36
7 Control and Operations The call for heating (low water temperatures) can be suppressed during the sunny hours (only allowing for operation on PV power) and released for normal mode operation during user de- fined evening and night times. This is done by the existing low tariff function. The figures below illustrates typical installation options.
7.7.9 Timer function The timer function includes a 24 hours clock plus week days (1-7). Two different low tariff periods can be defined, working days and weekends. Also, the day and time for anti-legionella control can be set. 7.8 Safety features 7.8.1 High pressure switch In order to ensure that the compressor does not run beyond its operating envelope there is a built-in high pressure switch which shuts down the compressor when the pressure in the cooling...
8 Maintenance To achieve optimal performance, please observe the points below. Before the unit is opened, disconnect the power/ unplug and wait until the fan has stopped. A few days after the initial setup and start-up, check the installation for leaks in the water instal- lation or blockage of the condensate drain.
8.4.2 Anode In order to prevent corrosion of the enamelled hot water tank, a magnesium anode is installed behind the front panel at the top half of the water tank. The anode has a life expectancy of approximately 2-5 years depending on the water quality. It is recommended to inspect the anode every year.
The installer, from which the unit was purchased. • After the warranty period (2 years ->): The installer from which the unit was purchased or NIBE Energy Systems Partners. Please have data from name plate ready (silver plate on the unit).
