a Advanced Installations Bivalent Heating Setup Aquarea is able to control a fossil fuel boiler as part of the heating system. The basic principle is that the heat pump will have full Control of all aspects of the system and will run the backup boiler as and when required, depending on system design and settings. Zoning, solar, swimming pool or any other system control setup remains unchanged by bivalent control, The boiler needs to be connected into the system in parallel and preferably, into a buffer tank. The control signal, to the run the boiler, is made by closing “dry contact” on the heat pump main PCB. The boiler operation and temperature is managed by the boiler controls. Ensure the system return temperature does not exceed 55°C. The heat pump simply gives a signal to run. The boiler is required to have its own circulating pump. J series models also have the option to remotely enable/disable boiler or heat pump operation using 3rd party switch permutations (Smart Grid control, This will be explained. There are 3 different bivalent control methods: Butfer tank sensor is not better. “Advanced Parallel ‘Alternative: Heat pump and boiler operate independent of each other, never together. Once the outside temperatures drops below “Turn On" setpoint, heat pump stops and boiler takes over. Parallel: Heat pump and boiler can operate together. Once the outside temperatures drops below “Turn On" setpoint, boiler runs as well as heat pump. ‘Advanced Parallel: Heat pump and boiler can operate together. Certain control conditions need to be met before boiler is signalled to run, which will be explained. Advanced Parallel configuration requires optional PCB (CZ-NS4P) and buffer tank sensor (PAW-A2W-TSBU). rictly necessary with “Alternative” or "Parallel" setups but i's recommended, as the system will function setups always require a buffer tank sensor and will not work without ene. This guide will demonstrate layouts using a buffer sensor for all control methods, Accessories that are needed for Bivalent installations: a Optional PCB (CZ-NS4P) Buffer Tank Sensor (PAW-AZW-TSBU) Zone Water Sensor (PAW-A2W-TSHC) Note ~ 2 required for 2 zone setupsInstallation Schematic Basic Layout: ‘This layout uses a & port buffer tank, so the heat pump and boiler are connected in parallel. Non-return valves are required to avoid bypassing. The boiler must have its own circulating pump, which is controlled by the boiler. Boiler temperature is managed by the boiler controls. 2 © __ © Ff 26 oo ron tenah rr oe) See 1 Moneblee Unit Mandatory Ta PCB fer advanced functions Mandatory 2 Magnet Particle Fiter Mandatory on" Series Recommended on“ Seris* = 2 Remote Conirler Supplied with Mnobioe Unit = 4 TonkSoner_"Efed thoes tobe purchund seers Eas 5 ay Vave Mandatory HW tank nstaled PAW.aWYVL-HW 6 Room Thermostat eterna Recommended (an be fd supplied) PAW.AW-TWIRED 7 G3 Kit ‘Mandatory (supplied with tank) PAW-G3KIT 8 Greulatng Purp Mandatory (Fld supple) a 8 2001 DHW Cynder Mandatory if DAW is requred PAW-TO20C165-UK % 200 DHW Cynder Mandatory if DIW is required PAW-TO30CTES-UK 10 Zone Room Termistr Mandatory PAWAW-TSRT i Buffer Tank Mandatory (eld supple) AW-BTANKSOL-2 n Non return valve Mandatory = 8 Boller Mandatory (eld supple) : u Biter Sensor Mandatory PAW-AWETSBU 15 mmesion (Goose) Heater Mandatory : 4“a Installation Schematic Independent Buffer Connecti This layout demonstrates the heat pump and boiler directty connected to the buffer tank independently. It also shows a direct 2 zone setup, which has no impact on the bivalent setup at all. Bivalent setup is the same for all system verities.

The buffer tank can then be ‘set to achieve a higher setpoint to that of the heating circuits. This is the Butfer AT, the difference in setpoint between primary and secondary sides. The butter target temperature will be the required zone flow temperature (highest temperature zone) + Butfer AT, Step 3: Bivalent Settings ‘This is where you tell the heat pump that it will be contralling a boiler. This is also where you set the cantral conditions of the bivatent system. First ofall, you need to decide which bivalent method is needed: Alternative, Parallet or Advanced Parallel.
