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.

(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).
200 m The volume of the DHW cylinder of the Vitocal 160-A is 285 l and so Continuous operation enables the on-going ventilation of the rooms is comfortably sufficient for a large family (up to 5 members).

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.

According to DIN 1988-2, a drinking water filter should be installed in systems with metal pipework. Viessmann also recommends the instal- lation of a drinking water filter when using plastic pipes, as per DIN 1988, to prevent contaminants entering the DHW system.
Operation with open flue combustion equipment Never operate the Vitocal 160-A with extract system together with If a Vitocal 160-A is operated together with an open flue heat source open flue combustion equipment (e.g. open fireplaces). such as the Vitopend or Vitodens, provide an on site fan interlock. This Doors to boiler rooms where the combustion air supply is not inter- must switch the fan off as soon as the heat source starts.
