Application
Akva Lux II Se is a fully insulated district
heating substation for direct heating with
mixing loop and instantaneous domestic hot
water, featuring high performance and simple
operation. The Akva Lux II Se covers both the
DHW and heating requirements of large and
small single-family houses and is also suitable
for large projects.
Construction
The Akva Lux II Se substation is available in two
main types with a plate heat exchanger for
domestic hot water production type XB 06H-1
26, XB 06H-1 40 or XB 06H+ 60.
The substation also features safety and nonreturn valve on the cold water connection,
ball valves and sensor pockets as well as a
differential pressure controller, energy-efficient
circulation pump, strainers, bypass valve, an
energy-saving domestic hot water controller
Danfoss PTC2+P, and a removable fitting piece
for installation of heat meter in the district
heating supply and return line.
The heating temperature is controlled by an
electronic ECL 310 controller with weather
compensation, which enables further energy
savings.
The heating side features a mixing loop, which
provides a suitable temperature level e.g. for
floor heating.
The substation is suitable and ready for
connecting re-circulation and leak detection
equipment.
Design
The design emphasizes a user-friendly placement of all components.
The Akva Lux II Se is supplied with an elegant
insulation cover and the removable cover
plate in the front insulation allows easy
access to components for regulation and
maintenance purposes.
The unit is delivered as standard with pipe
connection downwards, but a mounting
plate and pipe set are available as optional
equipment, enabling pipe connection to be
made in top.
Heat exchanger for DHW heating
The substation is based on a brazed, highly
efficient plate heat exchanger, which is
controlled by a thermostatic and pressure
controlled PTC2+P DHW controller.
The Danfoss PTC2+P DHW controller with
integrated differential pressure controller and
energy saving function ensures that the heat
exchanger is cold during standby.
Bypass (thermostatic circulation)
The substation supplied with a thermostatically controlled bypass, which ensures that
hot water is produced immediately, when
tapping starts. The bypass temperature is set
with due consideration of the best DHW comfort and energy savings balance. DHW re-circulation can be easily added to the substation
when it is required.
Domestic hot water recirculation
The substation is prepared for connection
to systems with DHW recirculation. Switching to DHW recirculation is possible from a
constructional point of view, requiring only
mounting of a separate circulation set (see
options).
The circulation temperature is set independently of the set DHW temperature. This
ensures the best possible DHW comfort,
very low standby losses and return temperature and thus a very good district heating
economy.
Mounting of heat meter
The substation is equipped with 3/4” fitting
pieces in the DH return or supply flow for fitting of a heat meter, - alternatively in both DH
return and supply flow for leak detection.
Service and maintenance
The substation is very service-friendly and
easy to install. It is mounted on the wall and
as all pipes are placed in pipe bracket distance, it is possible to establish a nice piping. The removable cover plate in the front
allows easy access to the specially designed
chamber where most frequently used components such as ECL310 and PTC2+P are located. The easy access chamber enables faster commissioning and maintenance without
removing the whole cover of the substation.
Calculator of the heat meter can also be
mounted into this chamber for easy reading.
