SYSTEM DIAGRAM Dimensions and pipe F470 consists of a heat pump, water heater, immersion heater, fans, circulation pump and control system.F470 connections is connected to the ventilation system and heating me- dium circuit. When the exhaust air at room temperature passes through the evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates be- cause of its low boiling point.
A climate system is a system that regulates indoor valve (RN1). The supply air temperature must be approx- comfort with the help of the control system in F470 and imately the same as the indoor temperature, preferably for example radiators, underfloor heating/cooling, fan a few degrees lower.
If it is possible to use a water heater with an immersion heater, connect it as illustrated below. CONNECTING HOT WATER CIRCULATION A circulation pump can be controlled by F470 to circulate the hot water. The circulating water must have a tem- perature that prevents bacterial growth and scalding, and national standards must be satisfied.
Exhaust air duct (kitchen fan) must not be connected to connection F470. To prevent cooking odours from being led to the F470, the distance between the kitchen fan and the exhaust • Ventilation installation must be carried out in accord- air valve must be observed.
