3 Unit description
Description
The LWM series is a monobloc heat pump in which
refrigeration components are installed in a hermetically sealed refrigeration circuit. In addition, a
highly ef
and an electric volume flow monitor are integrated.
Furthermore, an optional electric Smart-Serv auxiliary heater can be installed to realise monoenergetic operation. The Smart-Serv can also be used
for screed drying, hygiene functions or emergency
heat-operation.
If the on-site pressure loss does not exceed the
maximum available, a heating buffer tank can be
dispensed with. If necessary, only a drinking water
storage tank and changeover valve should then be
installed.
A district heating pipe is recommended as the
water-bearing pipe from the heat pump into the
house. This can be supplied as an option. The
Smart-Control Touch controller is supplied in an
attractively designed housing for wall mounting or
as a built-in controller in an indoor unit with a
storage tank. The touch display can optionally be
installed in a double flush-mounted or double surface-mounted box. With the Smart-Control Touch,
three heating cycles can be activated, two of which
act as a mixing cycle. Further functions such as
solar thermal, second heat generator as bivalent
system, cooling, external heating cycle pumps can
be controlled as standard. A combination with a PV
system to increase its own power requirement is
integrated as standard.
ficient speed-controlled circulation pump
Function of the heat pump
A heat pump is a unit which makes use of a
working medium to absorb ambient heat under low
temperatures and transports this heat to a place
where it can be of use for heating purposes. Heat
pumps work according to the same principles as a
refrigerator. The difference is that heat, the “byproduct” of the refrigerator, is the goal of the heat
pump.
The main components of the cooling circuit consist
of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and
an expansion valve. In a finned evaporator, the
refrigerant evaporates both because of lower pressure and because of lower heat-source temperatures through absorption of energy from the environment. In the compressor, the refrigerant is
brought to a higher pressure and temperature by
the application of electrical energy. Next, the hot
refrigerant gas reaches the condenser, a plate heat
exchanger. Here the heat gas condenses, transferring heat to the heating system. The liquefied
refrigerant then expands and cools in a flow regulator, the expansion valve. Then the refrigerant
flows into the evaporator once more and the cycle
is complete.
Smart-Control Touch is used for regulation, and it
assures the independent operation of all safety
devices. The water circulation system consists of a
circulation pump, plate heat exchangers, dirt traps,
safety valve, a manometer, filling and drain valves,
a flow switch and a service water storage tank.
A 3-way changeover valve, overflow protection
valve, additional probes and storage systems are
available as accessories.

Layout
A precise calculation of the building’s heating load
according to EN 12831 is required for the design
and dimensioning of a heating system. However
approximate requirements can be determined
based on the year of construction and the type of
Ä
building. This table
approximate specific heating load for a few types
of building. The required heating system output
can be calculated by multiplying the area to be
heated with the given values.
For a precise calculation, various factors must be
considered. The transmission-heat requirement,
the infiltration heat-loss and an allowance for water
heating comprise the total heating capacity which
the heating system must provide.
The total area of the floor surfaces, exterior wall
windows, doors and roofing is required in order to
determine the transmission heat requirement. In
addition, information about the materials used in
the building is required, as well as about the different thermal transmission coefficients (known as
the K value). Also required are the room temperature and the standard outside temperature, that is,
the lowest outside temperature on average that will
occur during the year. The equation for determining the thermal transmission requirement is
Q=A x U x (tR-tA) and must be calculated for all
enclosed room floor areas.
The infiltration heat requirement takes into consideration how often the heated room air is
exchanged for cold external air. The room volume
“V”, the air exchange frequency “n” and the specific heat capacity “c” of the air is also required in
addition to the room temperature and average low
temperature. The equation is: Q = V x n x c (tR-tA)
An approximate addition for the preparation of
domestic water per person amounts in acc. with
VDI 2067: 0.2 kW.

Design example
By way of a design example, a residential home
with a living area of 150 m2 and a heating requirement of approx. 40 W/m2 was selected. A total of
five persons live in the house. The heat load
amount to 6.0 kW
ance of 0.2 kW results in a required heating
capacity of 7.0 kW. Depending on the power company, an additional charge must then be made in
order to factor in any service time-out periods that
may apply. The rating and determination of the
heat pump’s balance-point temperature derives
graphically from the heat pump’s inlet temperature
specific heat-output diagram (in this example 35 °C
for underfloor heating). Next, the heat load for the
standard outdoor temperature (the lowest temperature of the year locally) and the heat threshold are
marked on the graph. The outside-temperaturedependent heating requirement, (Fig. 30) simplified
here as a straight-line relationship between heatload and the start of the heating season, is
recorded in the graph of heat-load curves. The
intersection of the two straight lines with the rated
heat-load curve is plotted on the X axis, where the
balance-point temperature is read (in this example
approx. -3 °C). The minimum performance of the
2nd heat source is the difference between heat
load and the heat pump’s maximum heating
capacity on these days (in this example, the
required power required to cover peak load
requirements is approx. 3 kW).

Monobloc heat pump
The REMKO inverter heat pump is connected to
the house via water-carrying pipes. The water-carrying pipes must be laid to be frost proof. If this is
not possible from a structural point of view
, other
frost protection measures must be implemented,
e.g. glycol, trace heating, etc.
REMKO inverter technology
The heat pump's compressor is equipped with are
equipped with a speed control system, as needed.
The power control on conventional heat pumps
provides only two states, either “ON” (full output) or
“OFF” (no output). The heat pump turns on below
a specified temperature and turns off when this
temperature is reached. Heat regulation in the
REMKO monobloc heat pump is modulated to the
actual need and is adjusted to suit actual needs.
The electronics system has an integrated frequency-converter which serves to modify the compressor speed and the speed of the fan as
required. The compressor works at a higher speed
when under full load than under partial load. The
lower speeds ensure a longer operational lifetime
for the components, improved coefficient of performance and lower noise. Lower speeds also
result in lower energy consumption (electricity) and
longer service life. I.e.: Monobloc heat-pumps will
run practically throughout the heating season. In
all, the highest efficiency possible.

Cooling mode
Because of circuit reversal, cooling is also possible. In cooling mode, the components of the
refrigeration circuit are used to produce cold water
with which heat can be extracted from a building.
This can be accomplished with dynamic cooling or
passive cooling.
With dynamic cooling the refrigerating capacity is
actively transferred to the indoor air. This is achieved by means of water-based fan convectors. In
doing so, it is desirable that the inlet temperatures
are under the dew point, in order to transfer a
higher refrigerating capacity and to dehumidify the
indoor air.
Passive cooling refers to the absorption of heat
via cooled floors, walls or ceiling surfaces. In doing
so, water-carrying pipes make the structural sections into thermally effective heat exchangers. In
order to achieve this, the refrigerant temperature
has to lie above the dew point, in order to avoid the
formation of condensation. Dew-point monitoring is
required for this purpose.
We recommend dynamic cooling with fan convectors, in order to achieve increased cooling capacity
and in order to dehumidify the air on muggy
summer days. You will find corresponding devices
in the KWD, KWK and WLT-S series on our website: “www.remko.de”. The advantage here is that
dew point monitoring is not required.
The comfort zone in the illustration below shows
which values for temperature and humidity are
considered comfortable for people. This range
should ideally be met when heating or air-conditioning buildings.

DANGER!
All electrical installation work must be done by
an electrician.
WARNING!
All electric lines are in accordance VDE regulations to dimension and to lay
DANGER!
The connection of refrigerant pipes and the
handling of refrigerant may be only be carried
out by qualified personnel (competence category I).
n These instructions are to be observed when
installing the heat pump.
n The unit should be delivered as near as pos-
sible to the site of installation in its original
packaging in order to avoid transport damage.
n The unit is to be checked for visible signs of
transport damage. Possible faults are to be
reported immediately to the contractual partner
and the haulage company
n Suitable sites for installation are to be selected
with regard to machinery noise and the set-up
process.
n It is recommended to place the heat pump as
close as possible to the building to be heated,
observing the minimum distances.
n Establish all electrical wiring in accordance
with the relevant DIN and VDE standards.
n The electrical power cables must always be
fastened to the electrical terminals in the
proper manner. Otherwise there is a risk of
damage.
n Ensure that no water-carrying pipes pass
through living or sleeping areas.

opening should be padded or, for example,
lined with PVC pipe (see figure).
n After installation has been completed, use a
suitable sealing compound to close off the wall

Set-up site
n The unit may be attached only to a load-
bearing structure or wall. Ensure that the unit is
installed only vertically
should be well ventilated.
n To minimise noise, install floor consoles with
vibration dampers and a considerable distance
from acoustically-reflective walls to minimise
noise.
n The minimum clearances specified on the next
page should be maintained when carrying out
the installation. These minimum distances
serve to ensure unrestricted air inlet and outlet.
The air that has discharged may not be drawn
in again. Take the performance data of the
units into account. Additionally, there must be
adequate space available for installation, maintenance and repair.
n If the unit is erected in an area of strong winds,
then it must be protected against them and
additional stabilisation is recommended. This
can be realised for example with wire ropes or
other constructions (Fig. 34). The snow line is
to be observed during installation (Fig. 35).
n REMKO recommends always placing the unit
on vibration dampers. Vibration dampers prevent the transmission of vibrations through the
floor or walls.
n If there is insufficient space under the device
for the lines, then the pre-cut recesses can be
removed from the rear enclosure-panel and the
pipes guided through these openings.
n During installation, add about 20 cm to the
expected snow depth to guarantee unimpeded
intake and exhaust of outdoor air year round
(Fig. 35).
n The installation site of the outdoor unit should
be agreed together with the operator primarily
so that ’non-concerning levels of operating
noise’ are achieved, rather than in respect
of ’short distances’.

Anti-freeze protection
In the case of heat pump systems, in which
frost-free conditions are not assured, a
drainage facility should be provided. If control
and heating circulation pump are ready for
operation, the anti-freeze protection function of
the controller works. The system must be emptied when the heat pump is shut down or there
is a power failure. For heat pump systems in
which a power failure cannot be detected (e.g.
holiday home), the heating circuit must be operated with a suitable anti-freeze protection.

Heater for anti-freeze protection
The heater for anti-freeze protection is used to
control the temperature of the interior space of the
hydraulic unit. This ensures that in the event of a
fault, the last step in the freezing of the medium
and thus defects due to frost can be prevented. A
temperature of >+3 °C is established through recirculated air operation. It is essential that a separate
UPS is used for the power supply

NOTICE!
Local regulations or environmental laws, for
example the German W

Pipe heater
A pipe heater can be mounted on water-carrying
pipes to ensure frost protection in the pipes.
Install a pipe heater if there is a risk of frost.
When installing on the mounting bracket or on a
foundation, we recommend the installation of a
pipe heater if the condensate drain or the inlet/
return flow heat pipes cannot be laid in a frost-free
manner or if they are heavily exposed to weather
conditions.
The pipe heater must be connected to a separate power supply (UPS).

A separate interpretation of nominal flow rate
must be made for every system (see technical
data).
n W
e recommend installing a buffer tank as a
hydraulic compensator for hydraulic isolation of
the heating cycle. Hydraulic isolation is
required when:
- different inlet temperatures need to be achieved, e.g. underfloor heating/radiators
- the pressure drop in the heating distribution
system is greater than stated in the technical
data
- the use of other heat generators, e.g. combustible burner for solid fuel, solar or bivalent
(dual-fuel) systems.
n Perform a pipe-network calculation before
installing the heat pump. After installing the
heat pump, it is necessary to perform a
hydraulic balancing of the heating circuit.
n Protect underfloor heating systems against
excessively high inlet temperatures.
n Do not reduce pipe diameters for the inlet and
return flow connections to the heat pump
before connecting a buffer tank.
n Plan for air bleed valves and drain-off taps at
appropriate places.
n Flush the system’s entire pipe network before
connecting the heat pump.
n One or, where necessary, several expansion
vessels must be designed for the entire
hydraulic system.
n The system pressure of the entire pipe network
is to be matched to the hydraulic system and
must be checked when the heat pump is
turned off. Also update the static-pressure form
supplied with the heat pump.
n As delivered, the safety assembly consists of a
pressure gauge, a bleeding valve and a safety
valve. This must be installed by the customer
in the hydraulic system.
complete vapour density insulation along the
entire length of the pipework.
n All outgoing heating cycles, including the con-
nections for water heating, are to be secured
against the ingress of circulating water by
means of check valves.
n Before being placed in service, the system
must be thoroughly flushed. Conduct a seal
test and perform a thorough bleeding of the
entire system - repeatedly
with DIN standards.

Smart Control.
The indoor unit consists of an enamelled 300 l drinking water storage tank of the EWS series. In addition, a
3-way changeover valve and an electric bypass valve are installed.
The Smart-Control installed in the indoor unit switches all electrical components. Due to the pre-installed
components, considerable assembly time is saved.
The highly efficient primary pump in the outdoor unit [A] can be used as a heating cycle pump and its speed
is regulated according to requirements. There is a pressure drop present on site (see technical data). If the
pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. REMKO KPS, must be used as a hydraulic
compensator. Then a REMKO heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and two mixed heating cycle groups,
type HGM, are available. Moreover, the hot water and cold water supply connections are all connected to the
indoor unit on the top.
A circulation line can optionally be connected to the storage tank.
So that the heat pump can efficiently and smoothly supply the heating water system directly (without buffer
tank), the following basic prerequisites must be fulfilled:
n The heating system must be able to be operated with an inlet temperature
n The maximum pressure drop in the heating system must not be exceeded
n A minimum water flow volume of 20 l/KW must be assured. If this is not possible, then a valve must be
n The pipe cross sections of the lines from the heat pump to the heating manifolds shall not be reduced
n The min. water volume of 5 l/kW cooling capacity with active cooling must be observed

7 Cooling with room tem-
perature/humidity probe
Description of the Cooling Installation
Cooling via the mixed heating cycle
(surface heating cycle )
If the heat pump is to be used for cooling, then this
must be possible via the heating cycle. The
hydraulic connection is identical to the connection
for the heating cycle. If the mixed cycle is used for
heating or cooling, it will be connected as shown in
Fig. 42 and Fig. 41. The probes S12 and S1
measure the inlet and return flow temperatures, if a
heating/cooling buffer is used. Dew-point monitoring is required for this.
Dew point regulation via room temperature/
humidity probe
If cooling via the surface heating is also required in
summer, this can only be activated in conjunction
with the Smart-Control Touch and the appropriate
room temperature/humidity probe. Only with the
use of the REMKO room temperature/humidity
probe it is possible to use a cooling curve in order
not to fall below the dew point. The remote control
of the Smart-Control Touch regulation does not
have its own humidity probe, therefore the room
temperature/humidity probe must always be used if
surface cooling is required.
As of software version 4.24, the mixing valves can
mix at different inlet temperatures.

Cooling via a parallel buffer tank as a system
limit
If the system is operated using a parallel buffer
tank that acts as a system limit on the consumer
circuit, no probe must be installed in the living
room if the regulation of the consuming cooling circuit is operated via a third-party controller.

8 Water treatment
Oxygen always plays a role if metal materials in a
heating system corrode. The pH value and the salt
content also play a major role. A licensed plumber
who would like to be able to guarantee his customers a hot water heating system not at risk of
corrosion from oxygen - without the use of chemicals - must pay attention to the following:
n Correct system design by the heating builder/
planner and
n depending on the materials installed: filling the
heating system with demineralised soft water
or fully deionised water
after 8 to 12 weeks.
VDI 2035 applies for the system types listed below.
If the guide values for filling, replenishment and circulation water are exceeded, the water must be
pre-conditioned.

Total rated output in kW< 20 l/kW³ 20 l/kW and <50 l/kW³ 50 l/kW
to 50 kW£16.8 °dH£1
, checking the pH value
Scope of application of VDI 2035:
n Domestic hot-water heating systems as per
DIN 4753 (sheet 1 only)
n Water heating systems as per DIN EN 12828
inside the building up to an inlet temperature of
100°C
n Systems that serve building complexes and
with a replenishment water volume during their
service life that is a maximum of twice the
filling water volume.

accordance with VDI 2035 Part 1 with regard to
total hardness.

*) For aluminium and aluminium alloys, the pH range is restricted: pH value at 25 °C is 8.2-8.5 (max. 9.0 for
aluminium alloys)
Water treatment with chemicals
Adding chemicals to treat water should only be
done as an exception. VDI 2035 Part 2 requires
explicitly under Point 8.4.1 that all water treatment
be explained and documented in the system log
book. There is a reason for this, because unprofessional use of chemicals leads:
n frequently to the failure of elastomer materials
n to blocking and sedimentation due to the
sludge that forms
μS/cm< 100100-1,500
n to defective anti-friction seals on pumps
n to the formation of biofilms that cause micro-
bially influenced corrosion and/or that can substantially impair thermal transfer
In low-salt water and the correct pH for a short
time even to oxygen concentrations up 0.5 mg /
l are tolerated.

Commissioning
NOTICE!
Commissioning should only be performed and
documented by specially trained personnel.
Observe the operating manual for the indoor
units and outdoor components when commissioning the entire system.
Once all the components have been connected
and tested, the system can be put into operation. A
functional check should be performed to verify its
correct function and identify any unusual operating
behaviour prior to handing it over to the operator
This check is dependent on the installed indoor
units. The processes are specified in the operating
manual for the indoor units being commissioned.
.
Functional checks and test run
Check the following points:
n Leak tightness of the cooling cycle
n Compressor and fan running smoothly
n Issue of cold air in heating mode.
n Function test of all program sequences.
n Check of the surface temperature of the suc-
tion pipe and that the vaporiser is not overheating. To measure the temperature, hold the
thermometer to the suction pipe and subtract
the boiling point temperature reading on the
pressure gauge from the measured temperature.
n Record the measured temperatures in the
commissioning report.

NOTICE!
The escape of refrigerant contributes to climatic
change. In the event of escape, refrigerant with
a low greenhouse potential has a lesser impact
on global warming than those with a high
greenhouse potential. This device contains
refrigerant with a greenhouse potential of 1975.
That means the escape of 1 kg of this refrigerant has an ef
1975 times greater than 1 kg CO2, based on
100 years. Do not conduct any work on the
refrigerant circuit or dismantle the device always enlist the help of qualified experts.

17 General terms
All-in-one unit
Design in which all refrigeration components are
installed in one housing. No refrigeration work has
to be carried out.
Annual power input factor
The annual power input factor indicates the power
input (e.g. electrical energy) required in order to
achieve a certain benefit (e.g. heating energy). The
annual power input factor includes the energy
required for auxiliary drives.
Bivalent mode
The heat pump provides the entire heating energy
down to a predetermined outdoor temperature
(e.g. -3 °C). If the temperature drops below this
value, the heat pump switches off and the secondary heating appliance takes over the heating, e.g.
a heating boiler.
Coefficient of performance
The current ratio of thermal output produced by the
heat pump to the consumed electrical power is
referred to as the coefficient of performance, as
measured under standardised boundary conditions
according to EN 255 / EN 14511. A coefficient of
performance of 4 means that a usable thermal
output amounting to 4-times the electrical power
consumption is available.
Energy supply company switching
Certain energy supply companies of
iffs for the operation of heat pumps.
When switching off the power supply companies only on the barrier is in contact only
requirement of a heat source (heat pump) is
blocked. Be switched off at monoenergetic
operation, the power supply of the electric
heating element with.
Evaporator
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which uses
the evaporation of a working medium in order to
extract heat from its environment at low temperatures (e.g. the outdoor air).
Expansion valve
Heat pump component for lowering the condensing
pressure on the vapour tension. In addition, the
expansion valve regulates the quantity of injected
refrigerant in relation to the evaporator load.
Heat carrier
Liquid or gas medium (e.g. water
which heat is transported.
fer special tar-
, brine or air), in
Compressor (condenser)
Unit designed for the mechanical conveyance and
compression of gasses. Compression serves to
significantly increase the pressure and temperature of the medium.
Condenser
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which liquefies a working medium in order to transmit heat to
its environment (e.g. the heating system).
Defrost
At outdoor temperatures below 5 °C it is possible
that ice may form on the evaporators of air/water
heat pumps. The removal of this ice is referred to
as defrosting and is undertaken by supplying heat,
either regularly or as requirements dictate. Air/
water heat pumps with circuit reversal are distinguished by their requirements-based, quick and
energy-efficient defrosting system.
Heat pump system
A heat pump system consists of a heat pump and
a heat source system. For brine and water/water
heat pumps, the heat source system must be
made available separately.
Heat source
Medium from which the heat pump derives heat, in
other words, soil, air and water.
Heating output
Flow of heat emitted from the liquefier to the environment. The heating output is the sum of the electrical power consumed by the condenser and the
heat flux obtained from the environment.
Inverter
Power regulator which serves to match the speed
of the compressor motor and the speed of the
evaporator fans to the heating requirement.
59
REMKO LWM series
Limit temperature / bivalence point
Outdoor temperature where the secondary heating
appliance cuts in under bivalent operation.
Monovalent mode
In this mode, the heat pump is the sole heating
appliance in the building all year round. Monovalent mode is primarily used in combination with
brine/water and water/water heat pumps.
Noise
Noise is transmitted in media such as air or water
Essentially there are two types of noise, airborne
sound and solid-borne sound. Airborne sound is
transmitted entirely via the air. Solid-borne sound
is transmitted in solid materials or liquids and is
only partially radiated as airborne sound. The
audible range of sound lies between 20 and
20,000 Hz.
Refrigerant
The working medium used in a refrigerant plant,
e.g. heat pump, is referred to as the refrigerant.
The refrigerant is a liquid which is used for thermal
transfer in a refrigeration plant and which is able to
absorb heat by changing its state at low temperatures and low pressures. A further change of state
at higher temperatures and higher pressure serves
to dissipate this heat.
Refrigerating capacity
Heat flux extracted from the environment by the
evaporator (air, water or soil).
Regulations and guidelines
The erection, installation and commissioning of
heat pumps has to be undertaken by qualified specialist engineers. In doing so, various standards
and directives are to be observed.
Seasonal performance factor
The seasonal performance factor relates to the
ratio of heat content delivered by the heat pump
system to the supplied electrical energy in one
year. It may not be compared to the performance
number. The seasonal performance factor
expresses the reciprocal of the annual power input
factor.
Single energy-source mode
The heat pump covers a large proportion of the
required thermal output. On a few days per year an
.
electrical heating coil supplements the heat pump
under extremely low outdoor temperatures. Dimensioning of the heat pump for air/water heat pumps
is generally based on a limit temperature (also
known as balance point) of approx. -5 °C.
Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level is a comparable characteristic quantity for the radiated acoustic output of a
machine, for example, a heat pump. The noise
emission level at certain distances and acoustic
environments can be measured. The standard is
based on a sound pressure level given as a nominal noise level.
Split AC unit
Design where one part of the device is positioned
outdoors and the other inside the building. Both
units are connected to each other by a refrigerant
pipe.
Storage tank
The installation of a hot-water storage tank is generally recommended in order to extend the running
time of the heat pump under low heat requirements. A storage tank is required for air/water heat
pumps in order to bridge off-periods.
Seal inspection
System operators are obliged to ensure the prevention of refrigerant leakage in accordance with
the directive on substances that deplete the ozone
layer (EC 2037/2000) and the Regulation on Certain Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (EC
842/2006). In addition, a minimum of one annual
service and inspection must be carried out, as well
as a sealing test for refrigerating plants with a
refrigerant filling weight over 3 kg.
