Introduction

Emix tank

is the innovative indoor unit in the iSeries system range, able to provide domestic hot water from a thermodynamic source all year round, i.e. independently of the system’s operating mode.

Emix tank is a new component of the iSeries system which is added to the very broad range of indoor units.

The purpose of Emix tank is to produce domestic hot water through storage, using the energy produced directly from the heat pump (therefore renewable energy) and providing the service at the same time as heating and cooling the environments, thanks to the various air and/or hydronic indoor units of the iSeries range.

How to install Emix tank

Emix works only with an iSeries outdoor unit system; it is commonly connected to the proper EMX port but could be connected also to a normal port like G30 that has an adapter from 3/8” to 1/4” for the liquid return flare. Anyway in emergency conditions, you can use Emix tank as electrical water heater without the iSeries heat pump.

As first step you have to remove the bottom cover simply by your hand; it is not fixed by screw and you have only to pickup it by the basement.

And now follow the next steps with max care:

EG

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Close the valves on the EMX port of outdoor unit (G42, G50, G65, G80, G110).

Disconnect the bypass from the valves on the EMX port (take care of it because you will need it in case of dismount of Emix tank unit).

Connect the copper pipes between outdoor unit and Emix tank for (G42, G50, G65, G80, G110).

(warmly suggested a strong insulation in order to avoid loses of precious energy).

Perform the vacuum procedure.

Open the valves of EMX port.

Connect the water to the tank (It is recommended to install an expansion tank of 18 lt, service valves on the connections of the water circuit in order to make installation and maintenance operations easier and a pipe on the high pressure safety output of the security valve).

It is warmly suggested to install the filter upstream the water circuit and a softener or polyphosphate filter to avoid limestone.

Connection Limits

Refrigerant Circuit

Emix tank is a component that may be connected to the other types of indoor units of the iSeries range at the same time and without specific limitations by using the special connection for Emix tank and duly considering the length of the Emix tank pipe to be added to the total length set by the outdoor unit (we advise a specific insulation of the Emix tank pipes to guarantee the minimum dispersion of energy).

Electrical connections

Emix tank must always be connected to the electrical power supply in a separate manner compared to the connection of the outdoor unit of the iSeries system.

EG

General

• The acceptable voltage variation is: ± 10% during operation.

• The electrical connection conduits must be fixed.

• Class 1 unit.

Power supply

• The power supply must come from an isolation and electric protection device (not supplied) in accordance with existing regulations.

• The installation must be protected by a double-pole circuit-breaker (not included).

Remove the front panel by the same approach of the base part.

There are no screew to be removed and no wire to be disconnected.

After you removed the front panel you will see the tank and in the bottom right part, you will see the cover of electrical connections.

Now you can see the connection block as below:

(OPTIONAL)

BUS

ON/OFF

If you are connecting the Emix tank by single phase power supply, you will have to connect the phase line to L1.

Close L1-L2 and L2-L3 with connection cables.

Connect the communication shielded pair cable (18 AWG) to the connection block C1 (5) and C2 (6) and the shield to the communication ground connection; take care about polarity between outdoor unit and Emix; in case of mistake you will see a communication error indication (all the LED flashing).

Alarm and remote control are two connection giving you the opportunity to control the Emix tank by remote wired connection, as sample from a Solar Panel Control Box or by Timer.

The electric schema is applied on the unit by a proper label.

Note 1: Emix tank electrical consumption is very low but in case electrical heater elements are activated, Emix tank has to support the flow of big amount of electrical energy; for that reason it is necessary to power Emix tank independently to the power supplied by the outdoor unit.

Electric back up setting

When electric back up heaters are connected you have always to set SW1 on PCB. This operation is mandatory.

Legionella

Legionella is a bacteria present in any water system.

The proliferation of this bacteria depends on many factors and it finds the best conditions to survive between 20º C to

45º C. Country by country, there are some different local regulation about Legionella prevention but all of them require to heat water over than 50ºC.

Anti legionella cycle is a special operation function performed by Emix. The goal of this function is to heat all water buffer volume. In this way, all bacteria that may have been inside the buffer would be killed.

Anti legionella cycle can not be deactivated in order to avoid health issues for end users. The cycle procedure can not be modified, neither.

Anti legionella cycle

The anti legionella cycle is closed by one of the following conditions: a) if the water temperature is 50º C for 2 hours continuously.

b) if the water temperature is 55º C for 30 minutes continuously.

c) if the water temperature is 60º C for 2 minutes continuously.

If within 72 hours (3 days) none of the above conditions have bee satisfied, automatically the water set point is moved up to 60ºC if lower to perform the cycle. The yellow LED is switched on.

If there are electrical elements connected, they can be used during anti legionella cycle.

During the cycle, if none of the above conditions is verified and, by water temperature trend analysis, the software understands that there is not enough energy using only the heat pump, the first electrical element will be switched on automatically. All the other electrical elements will be switched on every120’ checking temperature trend analysis up to reach one of the three conditions and to close the cycle. If cycle is closed, all electric elements are switched off.

If after 4 hours none of the above conditions occurred, the cycle will be considered NOT closed, it will continue and the yellow LED will flash with low frequency to alert the end user. For this reason, we warmly recommend to connect electric back up during Emix installation (or to enable them in Emix tank).

NOTE: the legionella cycle is fundamental for the health and if the iSeries system is running, normally it is done just by the thermodynamic energy; however we cannot exclude that in some cases the energy of electrical heater elements located inside the tank are needed and this is the reason because we warmly suggest to connect at least one element.

However our company is not responsible if during the installation any electric heater element is connected to the Emix unit.

14

Electric back up management – Booster mode

By pressing operation button until the blue led is blinking, end users can activate the booster mode. In this case the software will manage the electric heaters under certain conditions.

If after 120’ from the start up of the system (time counter does not start when the automatic mode is set but when the heat pump is switched on), water set point is not reached, the first electrical element will be activated automatically.

The other steps, one by one, will be turned on every 120’ following water temperature trend, up to reach set point.

To exit the booster mode, it’s necessary to repeat the starting procedure.

EG

Electric back up management – Super Booster mode

By pressing operation button until yellow led is turned on (3 beeps will be listened when the button will be released), end user can activate the super booster mode. In this case all electric elements connected are switched on in one shot, together with the heat pump. When water set point is reached, all heaters are switched off.

To exit super booster mode, it’s necessary to repeat the starting procedure.

This option is very useful when it’s necessary to heat the water as soon as possible.

Electric back up management – Automatic modes

Emix tank software can automatically manage electric back up heaters under certain conditions. This mean that these operation modes are not to be set and that can not be deactivated.

They are:

- Antifreeze mode

- Cold draft prevention

- Electric water heater mode

Electric back up management – Antifreeze mode

If water temperature inside the buffer tank is lower than 10° C, all electric elements connected are switched on. When the water temperature reaches 11° C all the elements are turned off.

Electric back up management – Cold draft prevention

If water temperature is lower than 40º C and one or more indoor units is in cold draft condition, one by one electrical element are switched on per time (every 10’) and switched off all together when water temperature reaches 50º C and no cold draft condition on any indoor unit is detected.

Electric back up management – Electric water heater

If the outdoor unit is stopped for maintenance of end user’s decision (no communication), Emix tank unit could be used as controller of the electrical heater elements located inside the tank, exactly like any electric water heater. In this case, if the water temperature is lower than the desired temperature for more than 30’, all the connected electrical heaters will switch on up to the reaching of the setpoint. End users can switch off Emix tank if they do not want to have this option.

15

Emix tank connection-Only DHW application

Emix unit can be used with Iseries outdoor units in a specific configuration in order to create an heat pump system only for DHW production.

EG

Only DHW application: G30 + Emix tank

Connect Emix tank unit to refrigerant port on the outdoor unit (there is no Emix port) using 1/4 ->3/8 adapter provided with outdoor unit. The system will operate always in heating mode. Remove JP1 from PCB of Emix tank unit.

Max water temperature: 60° C. It’s not possible to go over 60° C without external energy sources (electric heaters or similar). However, no errors will be displayed if water temperature set will be over 60° C.

Only DHW application

Connect Emix tank units to standard refrigerant ports on outdoor unit. 1/4->3/8 and 1/2->3/8 adapters are to be field supplied.

Do not disconnect Emix port bypass; Remove JP1 from every Emix PCBs. The system will operate always in heating mode; Emix tank units have to be addressed according to refrigerant connection (like multisplit application).

Max water temperature: 60° C. It’s not possible to go over 60° C without external energy sources (electric heaters or similar). However, no errors will be displayed if water temperature set will be over 60° C.

16

in case of need, the electrical elements could be managed by the end user exactly as any electrical water heater; in this case follow the below procedure:

Open the screws of temperature limiter’s lid

Set the thermostat to 65°C Turn the main switch to

How to disconnect and/or remove Emix tank unit

In case of Emix tank is connected to a normal indoor unit port, as common use of Emix with G30, the unit must be disconnected exactly as any other air indoor unit, like hi-wall, flow ceiling, etc.

In case of Emix tank is connected to the EMX port and by any reason it has to be disconnected and replaced, the installer has to do this procedure using a refrigerant recovery unit:

EG

- close the valves of EMX port;

- connect the refrigerant recovery unit (R410A);

- recover the refrigerant inside the copper pipes and Emix tank unit;

- disconnect Emix and reconnect another Emix tank unit;

- make the vacuum;

- restore the refrigerant from recovery unit to the pipe and Emix tank unit;

- disconnect the recovery unit and re-open the valves of EMX port.

In case Emix tank must be removed definitively:

- close the valves of EMX port;

- connect the refrigerant recovery unit (R410A);

- recover the refrigerant inside the copper pipes and Emix tank unit;

- disconnect Emix tank and reconnect the bypass disconnected during the first installation;

- disconnect the recovery unit;

- make the vacuum on the bypass;

- open the valves of EMX port;

- switch on one of the indoor unit in cooling mode;

- connect the recovery unit to one of the liquid valve of indoor units;

- recover the refrigerant inside the outdoor unit;

- disconnect the recovery unit and be sure that the EMX port valves are open.

How to connect Emix tank tank tank to a solar thermal system

Emix tank tank could be connected to any type of thermal solar system, both natural and forced circulation.

In case of forced circulation solar system, by the water point of view, Emix tank tank must be connected to the solar tank exactly like any other tank in parallel to the cold and hot tap water (mixing valve); by the electric point of view Emix tank tank could be submitted to the solar control box if it has a dry contact to enable/disable Emix tank tank energy support to the water. In case the solar control box does not have any backup contact, Emix tank tank will run in parallel mode with the solar system and obviously will stop immediately the operation if the water is already hot by the sun.
