Figure 1-1.1: System schematic VIVAX Monobloc is an integrated air to water heat pump system which is one-stop solution for space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water, The outdoor heat pump system extracts heat from the outdoor air and transfers this heat through refrigerant piping to the plate heat exchanger in the hydronic system.
VIVAX 1.2 System Configurations VIVAX Monbloc can be configured to run with the electric heater either enabled or disabled and can also be used in conjunction with an auxiliary heat source such as a boiler. The chosen configuration affects the size of heat pump that is required. Three typical configurations are described below.
VIVAX 4 System Design and Unit Selection 4.1 Selection Procedure Step 1: Total heat load calculation Calculate conditioned surface area Select the heat emitters (type, quantity, water temperature and heat load) Step 2: System configuration Decide whether to include AHS and set AHS’s switching temperature...

VIVAX 1 Preface to Part 3 Notes for Installers Boxes The information contained in this Engineering Data Book may primarily be of use during the system design stage of a Midea M thermal Mono project. Additional important information which may primarily be of use during field installation has been placed in boxes, such as the example below, titled “Notes for installers”.
VIVAX 2 Installation Acceptance and Unpacking Notes for installers When units are delivered check whether any damage occurred during shipment. If there is damage to the surface or outside of a unit, submit a written report to the shipping company.
Page 66
VIVAX Outdoor units should not be installed in locations where exposure to salinity may occur. Outdoor units should be installed in well-drained, well-ventilated positions. Outdoor units should be installed in positions that are as close as possible to the heat emitters.
Page 67
VIVAX Cold Climate Installation In cold climate locations installation should take account of the following considerations: Figure 3-2.4: Snow shielding Never install the unit at a site where the suction side may be exposed directly to wind. To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the unit.
Page 68
VIVAX Drainage Drainage ditch should be provided to allow drainage of condensate that may form on the air side heat exchanger when the unit is running in heating mode or domestic hot water mode. The drainage should ensure that condensate is directed away from roadways and footpaths, especially in locations where the climate is such that condensate may freeze.

VIVAX 3 Water Pipework Water Circuit Checks M thermal Mono units are equipped with a water inlet and outlet for connection to a water circuit. M thermal Mono units should only be connected to closed water circuits. Connection to an open water circuit would lead to excessive corrosion of the water piping.
Page 71
VIVAX Water connections must be made correctly in accordance with the labels on the outdoor unit, with respect to the water inlet and water outlet. If air, moisture or dust gets in the water circuit, problems may occur. Therefore, always take into account the following when connecting the water circuit: Use clean pipes only.
VIVAX As a result, the hydraulic components might freeze up after all. Take preventive actions to ensure a minimal exposure of the glycol to air. Due to the presence of glycol, corrosion of the system is possible. Uninhibited glycol will turn acidic under the influence of oxygen.
VIVAX 4 Electrical Wiring General Notes for installers Caution All installation and wiring must be carried out by competent and suitably qualified, certified and accredited professionals and in accordance with all applicable legislation. Electrical systems should be grounded in accordance with all applicable legislation.
VIVAX frequency electrical noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the ground fault circuit interrupter This unit is equipped with an inverter. Installing a phase advancing capacitor not only reduce the power factor improvement effect, but also may cause abnormal heating of the capacitor due to high frequency waves. Never install a phase advancing capacitor as it could lead to an accident.

VIVAX 7 User Interface Field Settings Introduction During installation, the M thermal Mono’s settings and parameters should be configured by the installer to suit the installation configuration, climate conditions and end-user preferences. The relevant settings are accessible and programmable through the FOR SERVICEMAN menu on the M thermal Mono’s user interface. The user interface menus and settings can be navigated using the user interface’s touch-sensitive keys, as detailed in Table 3-7.1.

VIVAX DHW PUMP_D sets whether or not the DHW pump is controlled by the M thermal Mono unit. If the DHW pump is to be controlled by the M thermal Mono, select YES. If the DHW pump is not to be controlled by the M thermal Mono unit, select NON.
Page 81
VIVAX t_INTERVAL_DHW sets the DHW mode compressor re-start delay. When the compressor stops running, it will not re-start until at least t_INTERVAL_DHW minutes have elapsed. dT5_TBH_OFF sets the temperature difference between the DHW set temperature (T5S) and the DHW tank water temperature (T5) below which the immersion is not used.
VIVAX PUMP_D TIMER sets whether or not the user is able to set the DHW pump (field supply) in DHW mode. For installations with a DHW pump, select ON so that the user is able to set pump start times.
VIVAX dTSC sets the temperature difference between the actual room temperature (Ta) and set room temperature (TS) above which the heat pump provides chilled water to the space cooling terminals. When Ta – TS ≥ dTSC the heat pump provides chilled water to the space cooling terminals and when Ta ≤ TS the heat pump does not provide chilled water to the space cooling terminals.
Page 84
VIVAX T4HMIN sets the ambient temperature below which the heat pump will not operate in heating mode. The lowest value that T4CMIN can take is -25°C, which is the heating mode lower ambient temperature operating limit of the heat pump.
