Fact Sheet
VX-F flat station for indirect heating and DHW
District heating substation for indirect heating and instantaneous domestic hot water. For apartments, single- and multi-family houses
Application
Die VX-F is a compact substation featuring high
performance and simple operation. The VX-F is
especially suitable for two-pipe systems and systems
with radiator or floor heating, supplied from a
secondary connected district heating system, a block
heating system or a centrally located boiler system in a
block of flats.
The VX-F range is available as built-in variant with a
recess box in sizes W 690 x H 1350 x D 150 and W 850 x
H 1350 x D 150 or as wall-mounted variant.
The VX-F stations are prepared for mounting separately
or for implemetation with with a VX-F distribution unit
with 3 to 12 heating circuits.
District heating (DH)
The flat station is prefabricated with interconnecting
components such as differential pressure controller,
strainer, thermal bypass and fitting piece and sensor
pockets for insertion of a heat meter.
Heating (HE)
The heating side consists of plate heat exchanger, safety valve, manometer, expansion vessel and A-labelled
low-energy circulation pump. A flow temperature controller, type FTC is used for flow temperature control
of the heating system. The VX-F stations are equipped
differently depending on the application, - floor heating
or radiator heating. VX-F stations for floor heating are
equipped with a safety thermostat and a zone valve
RA-C / thermal actuator TWA to prevent overheating.
Domestic hot water (DHW
The domestic hot water is prepared in the heat exchanger based on the flow principle and the temperature is regulated by the self-acting controller with in-
tegrated differential pressure controller - the PTC2+P
with energy-saving function. Supreme ease of operation is obtained via the combined hydraulic and
thermostatic regulation of the PTC2+P controller. The
pressure-controlled part allows primary and secondary side flow through the heat exchanger, only when
hot water is tapped and blocks the flow immediately
after completion of the tapping process.
The thermostatic part controls the domestic hot water temperature. Thanks to the quick-acting hydraulic
control of the heat exchanger, it is largely protected
from the formation of lime scale and growth of bacteria.
The PTC2+P controller with integrated differential
pressure controller compensates for variations in supply temperature and varying differential pressure and
thereby ensures a constant domestic hot water temperature at all times. A thermostatic bypass enables
tapping of hot water without any delay, – ensuring the
best possible efficiency and economy. For registration
of the cold water consumption the VX-F is equipped
with a fitting piece for mounting of a cold water meter
in the DCW inlet.
Options
The VX-F is equipped with bypass function as a standard, but it is prepared for DHW circulation. Equipment for DHW circulation is optional and must be
ordered separately.
Design
All pipes are made of stainless steel. The connections
are made by nuts and gaskets. The Akva Lux II can be
delivered with white-lacquered steel cover for recess
mounting or for wall mounting. The VX-F is supplied
without recess box and door as standard. - This is
optional must be ordered separately
