Heat pump function
This exhaust air heat pump uses the heat that is in the building's ventilation air to heat up the accommodation. The conversion of the air's energy to heating occurs in three different circuits. Free heating energy is retrieved from the outgoing air (1) from the accommodation and transported to the heat pump. The heat pump increases the retrieved heat's low temperature to a high temperature in the refrigerant circuit, (2). The heat is distributed around the house in the heating medium circuit (3).
Ventilation air
A The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the heat pump via the house
ventilation system. Outdoor air is only used if necessary.
B The fan then routes the air to the heat pump's evaporator. Here, the air
releases the heating energy and the air's temperature drops significantly. The cold air is then blown out of the house. Refrigerant circuit
C A liquid, a refrigerant, circulates in a closed system in the heat pump which
also passes the evaporator. The refrigerant has a very low boiling point. In the evaporator the refrigerant receives the heat energy from the ventilation air and starts to boil.
D The gas that is produced during boiling is routed into an electrically
powered compressor. When the gas is compressed, the pressure increases and the gas's temperature increases considerably, from -5°C to approx. 100 °C.
E From the compressor, the gas is forced into a heat exchanger, condenser,
where it releases heat energy to the heat pump's heating section, whereupon the gas is cooled and condenses to liquid form again.
F As the pressure is still high, the refrigerant can pass an expansion valve,
where the pressure drops so that the refrigerant returns to its original temperature. The refrigerant has now completed a full cycle. It is routed to the evaporator again and the process is repeated. Heat medium circuit
G The heat energy that the refrigerant produces in the condenser is retrieved
by the climate system's water, heating medium, which is heated to 55 °C (supply temperature).
H The heating medium circulates in a closed system and transports the heated
water's heat energy to the heat pump's integrated hot water heater and the radiators/heating coils of the house.
I The heat pump's integrated water heater is in the heating section. The
heating medium heats the hot water.
The temperatures are only examples and may vary between different installations and time of year.

Cleaning the ventilation devices The building's ventilation devices should be cleaned regularly with, for example, a small brush to maintain the correct ventilation. The device settings must not be changed.
NOTE
If you take down more than one ventilation device for cleaning, do not mix them up.
Cleaning the air filter Clean the F730's air filter regularly, how often depends on the amount of dust in the ventilation air. Select what is most suitable for your heat pump. You will receive a reminder about filter cleaning in the display. The default setting for the reminder is every three months, however, if the power to F730 is interrupted the countdown begins again. 1. Switch off the heat pump. 2. Remove the upper front cover by pulling straight out. 3. Pull out the filter cassette. 4. Take out the filter and shake/vacuum off any dirt. Do not use water
or other liquids for cleaning. 5. Check the condition of the filter. 6. Carry out assembly in reverse order. Even if the filter appears clean, dirt collects in it and this affects the efficiency of the filter. Therefore, replace it after approx. 2 years. New filters can be ordered via the installer. Filter

Safety valves F730 has three safety valves, two for the water heater and one for the climate system. The water heater's safety valve sometimes releases a little water after hot water usage. This is because the cold water, which enters the water heater, expands when heated causing the pressure to rise and the safety valve to open. The climate system's safety valve must be completely closed and must not normally release any water.
NOTE
Do not remove or adjust any components that are part of this pressurised water heater. Contact your installer!
NOTE
If this pressurised water heater develops a fault, e.g. a flow of hot water from the overflow pipe, turn the heat pump off and contact your installer.
Cleaning the overflow cup Condensation forms when the heat pump is working. This condensation is led off and collected in an overflow cup. In addition to water, a certain amount of dust and particles also collect in the overflow cup.
Overflow cup

Venting the climate system
In event of repeated filling of the climate system or if bubbling sounds are heard from the heat pump the system may need venting. This is carried out as follows:
1. Turn off the power supply to the heat pump.
2. Vent the heat pump via the vent valves and the rest of the climate system via the relevant vent valves.
3. Keep topping up and venting until all air has been removed and the pressure is correct.
NOTE
The vent hoses from the container must be drained of water before air can be released. This means that the system is not necessarily vented despite the flow of water when the vent valves are opened.
Therefore hold the vent valves open at least 5 seconds.
Chapter 2 | The heat pump the heart of the house
NIBE F730 27
Saving tips
Your heat pump installation produces heat and hot water. This occurs via the control settings you made.
Factors that affect the energy consumption are, for example, indoor temperature, hot water consumption, the insulation level of the house and whether the house has many large window surfaces. The position of the house, e.g. wind exposure is also an affecting factor.
Even the house ventilation affects the energy consumption. It is therefore important to perform a ventilation adjustment shortly after installing the heat pump. When adjusting ventilation, a ventilation technician sets the house ventilation device, outdoor air damper and the fan in F730 according to the projected values of the house.
Also remember:
During the adjustment period (winter time) all thermostat valves should be fully open. The heat pump's heating settings are then adjusted so that the correct indoor temperature is obtained, in most rooms, regardless of the outdoor temperature. In rooms where a lower temperature is required, the thermostat valves are lowered to the desired level. After a few months, the remaining thermostats can be lowered slightly to avoid an increase of the room temperature due to solar radiation, stove heat etc. Further reductions may be required later on.
You can lower the temperature when away from the house by scheduling "holiday setting" in menu 4.7. See page 66 for instructions.
If you activate "Hot water Economy", less energy is used.
Power consumption
Increasing the indoor temperature one degree increases the energy consumption by approx. 5%.
Domestic electricity
In the past it has been calculated that an average Swedish household has an approximate annual consumption of 5000 kWh domestic electricity/year. In today's society it is usually between 6000-12000 kWh/year.

Energy meter
Check the accommodation's energy meter regularly, preferably once a month. This will indicate any changes in power consumption.
Newly built houses usually have twin energy meters, use the difference to calculate your domestic electricity.
Chapter 2 | The heat pump the heart of the house
NIBE F730 29
New builds
Newly built houses undergo a drying out process for a year. The house can then consume significantly more energy than it would thereafter. After 1-2 years the heating curve should be adjusted again, as well as the offset heating curve and the building's thermostat valves, because the heating system, as a rule, requires a lower temperature once the drying process is complete.

The prescribed heating curve for your house can be viewed in the menu heating curve . The task of the heating curve is to give an even indoor temperature, regardless of the outdoor temperature, and thereby energy efficient operation. It is from this heating curve that the heat pump's control computer determines the temperature of the water to the heating system, supply temperature, and therefore the indoor temperature. Select the heating curve and read off how the supply temperature changes at different outdoor temperatures here.

Curve coefficient
The slope of the heating curve indicates how many degrees the supply temperature is to be increased/reduced when the outdoor temperature drops/increases. A steeper slope means a higher supply temperature at a certain outdoor temperature.
The optimum slope depends on the climate conditions in your location, if the house has radiators or under floor heating and how well insulated the house is.
The heating curve is set when the heating installation is installed, but may need adjusting later. Thereafter the heating curve should not need further adjustment.

Caution
In the event of making fine adjustments for the indoor temperature, the heat curve must be offset up or down instead, this is done in menu 1.1 temperature .

2. When the system selection has been confirmed the heat curve number is marked.
3. Press the OK button to access the setting mode 4. Select a new heating curve. The heating curves are numbered from 0
to 15, the greater the number, the steeper the slope and the greater the supply temperature. Heating curve 0 means that own curve (menu 1.9.7) is used. 5. Press the OK button to exit the setting.
To read off a heating curve: 1. Turn the control knob so that the ring on the shaft with the outdoor

Caution
A slow heat-releasing heating system, such as for example, underfloor heating, may not be suitable for control using the heat pump's room sensor.
Here you can set a factor (a numerical value) that determines how much an over or sub normal temperature (the difference between the desired and actual room temperature) in the room is to affect the supply temperature to the climate system. A higher value gives a greater and faster change of the heating curve's set offset.
NOTE
Too high a set value for "factor system" can (depending on your climate system) produce an unstable room temperature.

4 Disturbances in comfort
In most cases, the heat pump notes operational interference (operational interference can lead to disturbance in comfort) and indicates this with alarms and shows action instructions in the display.
Info-menu
All the heat pump measurement values are gathered under menu 3.1 in the heat pump menu system. Looking through the values in this menu can often simplify finding the fault source. See page 53 for more information about menu 3.1.
Manage alarm
In the event of an alarm, some kind of malfunction has occurred, which is indicated by the status lamp changing from green continuously to red continuously. In addition, an alarm bell appears in the information window.
Alarm
Low pressure alarm alarm
info / action reset alarm
In the event of an alarm with a red
aid mode
status lamp a malfunction has oc-
curred that the heat pump cannot
remedy itself. In the display, by turning the control knob and pressing the
OK button, you can see the type of alarm it is and reset it. You can also
choose to set the heat pump to aid mode.
info / action Here you can read what the alarm means and receive tips on what you can do to correct the problem that caused the alarm.
reset alarm In many cases, it is sufficient to select "reset alarm" in order for the product to revert to normal operation. If a green light comes on after selecting "reset alarm", the alarm has been remedied. If a red light is still visible and a menu called "alarm" is visible in the display, the problem that caused the alarm remains. If the alarm disappears and then returns, contact your installer.
aid mode "aid mode" is a type of emergency mode. This means that the heat pump produces heat and/or hot water despite there being some kind of problem. This can mean that the heat pump's compressor is not running. In this case the immersion heater produces heat and/or hot water.
72
Chapter 4 | Disturbances in comfort
NIBE F730
Caution
Selecting "aid mode" is not the same as correcting the problem that caused the alarm. The status lamp will therefore continue to be red.
If the alarm does not reset, contact your installer for suitable remedial action.
NOTE
Always state the product's serial number (14 digits) when reporting a fault.
Troubleshooting
If the operational interference is not shown in the display the following tips can be used:
Basic actions
Start by checking the following possible fault sources: The switch's position.
Group and main fuses of the accommodation.
Earth-fault breaker.
Low hot water temperature or a lack of hot water
Closed or throttled externally mounted filler valve for the water heater. Open the valve.
Heat pump in incorrect operating mode. Enter menu 4.2. If mode "auto" is selected, select a higher value on "stop additional heat" in menu 4.9.2. If mode "manual" is selected, select "addition".
Large hot water consumption. Wait until the hot water has heated up. Temporarily increased hot water capacity (temporary lux) can be activated in menu 2.1.
Too low hot water setting. Enter menu 2.2 and select a higher comfort mode.
Too low or no operating prioritisation of hot water. Enter menu 4.9.1 and increase the time for when hot water is to be prioritised. Note that if the time for hot water is increased, the time for heating production is reduced, which can give lower/uneven room temperatures.
Filter blocked.

Additional heat
The additional heat is the heat produced in addition to the heat supplied by the compressor in your heat pump. Additional heaters can be for example, immersion heater, electric heater, gas/oil/pellet/wood burner or district heating.
Calculated flow line temperature
The temperature that the heat pump calculates that the heating system requires for an optimum accommodation temperature. The colder the outdoor temperature, the higher the calculated supply temperature.
Circulation pump
Pump that circulates liquid in a pipe system.
Climate system
Climate systems can also be called heating systems. The building is heated using radiators, under floor coils or convector fans.
Compressor
Compresses the gas state refrigerant. When the refrigerant is compressed, the pressure and the temperature increase.
Condenser
Heat exchanger where the hot gas state refrigerant condenses (cooled and becomes a liquid) and releases heat energy to the house heating and hot water systems.
Disturbances in comfort
Disturbances in comfort are undesirable changes to the hot water/indoor comfort, for example when the temperature of the hot water is too low or if the indoor temperature is not at the desired level. A malfunction in the heat pump can sometimes be noticed in the form of a disturbance in comfort. In most cases, the heat pump notes operational interference and indicates this with alarms and shows instructions in the display.
Domestic hot water
The water one showers in for example.
Chapter 6 | Glossary
NIBE F730 77
Electrical addition
This is the electricity that, for example, an immersion heater produces when the compressor's output is not sufficient to fulfil the property's heating demand.
Emergency mode
A mode that can be selected using the switch in the event of a fault, which means that the compressor stops. When the heat pump is in emergency mode, the building is heated using an immersion heater. Hot water is not produced.
Evaporator
Heat exchanger where the refrigerant evaporates by retrieving heat energy from the air which then cools.
Exhaust air
The air that comes from the exhaust air device in the various rooms of the accommodation, to F730.
Exhaust air devices
Vents, usually in the ceiling, in the kitchen/bathroom/clothes closet where the air is drawn in to be forwarded to F730.
Expansion valve
Valve that reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, whereupon the temperature of the refrigerant drops.
Expansion vessel
Vessel with fluid with the task of equalising the pressure in the system.
Extract air
The air that the heat pump has retrieved heat from and which has therefore been cooled. This air is blown out of the building.
Filtering time
Indicates the time the average outdoor temperature is calculated on.
Flow pipe
The line in which the heated water is transported from the heat pump out to the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
78
Chapter 6 | Glossary
NIBE F730
Heat exchanger
Device that transfers heat energy from one medium to another without mixing mediums. Examples of different heat exchangers are evaporators and condensers.
Heat factor
Measurement of how much heat energy the heat pump gives off in relation to the electric energy it needs to operate. Another term for this is COP.
Heating curve
The heating curve determines which heat the heat pump is to produce depending on the temperature outdoors. If a high value is selected, this tells the heat pump that it must produce a lot of heat when it is cold outdoors in order to achieve a warm indoor temperature.
Heating medium
Hot liquid, usually normal water, which is sent from the heat pump to the house climate system and makes the accommodation warm. The heating medium also heats the hot water.
Heating medium side
Pipes to the house's climate system make up the heating medium side.
Outdoor air
Outdoor air routed into the heat pump.
Outdoor air damper
Intake for outdoor air.
Outside sensor
A sensor that is located outdoors. This sensor tells the heat pump how hot it is outdoors.
Pressostat
Pressure switch that triggers an alarm and/or stops the compressor if nonpermitted pressures occur in the system. A high pressure pressostat trips if the condensing pressure is too great. A low pressure pressostat trips if the evaporation pressure is too low.
Radiator
Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order to be used with F730.
Chapter 6 | Glossary
NIBE F730 79
Refrigerant
Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evaporation, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and when condensing gives off heating energy.
Return pipe
The line in which the water is transported back to the heat pump from the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
Return temp
The temperature of the water that returns to the heat pump after releasing the heat energy to the radiators/heating coils.
Room sensor
A sensor that is located indoors. This sensor tells the heat pump how hot it is indoors.
Safety valve
A valve that opens and releases a small amount of liquid if the pressure is too high.
Supply temperature
The temperature of the heated water that the heat pump sends out to the heating system. The colder the outdoor temperature, the higher the supply line temperature becomes.
Water heater
Container where domestic water is heated. Is located inside the heat pump, but an extra hot water heater can be installed in the event of large hot water requirements.
