    In extract mode the heat pump draws the air through pipework, including air from other rooms. Type WWK (without solar facility) The Vitocal 160-A, type WWK is specially designed for DHW heating without an external heat source (mono-mode or monoenergetic opera- tion). Circulating mode Through the operation of the heat pump the air in the installation room is cooled and the air humidity drops.
  • Page 5 (cont.) Type WWKS (with solar facility) The Vitocal 160-A, type WWKS is designed for DHW heating with solar backup. The integral indirect solar coil enables the connection of flat- plate collectors up to 6 m area or tube collectors with up to 3 m collector area.

    In the house itself, there is a risk that airborne noise will be transmitted via stairwells and cellar ceilings amongst others. Note The transfer of noise emitted from the Vitocal 160-A can be signifi- cantly reduced through a series of effective measures (see page 20).

    The Vitocal 160-A should preferably be installed within the air tight and thermally insulated building envelope. The Vitocal 160-A for extract mode needs to be positioned so that the pipe to the extract air areas is as short as possible. Those parts of the extract/expelled air pipework that pass through unheated areas of the house, must be insulated with thermal insulation material (with at least 50 mm thickness) safe from the diffusion of vapour.
