In general we may summarise them with the following concept: Emix is a component that may be connected to the
other types of indoor units of the iSeries range at the same time and without speci c limitations by using the special
connection for Emix and duly considering the length of the Emix pipe to be added to the total length set by the outdoor
unit (we advise a speci c insulation of the Emix pipes to guarantee the minimum dispersion of energy).
Emix may also be connected to a standard refrigerant connection and normally dedicated to the indoor units; in this
case it is not possible to perform the heating service of the domestic water when the system works in cooling mode.
For this reason, the above mentioned con guration is advised only in the cases where Emix is used only as mono-split
heat pump dedicated to domestic water (typical case of combination with the G30EMX outdoor unit) or with other
Emixes to form a cluster application for the production of large quantities of domestic hot water from a renewable
source (ex.: up to 4 Emixes for a total of 1200 l).
If Emix is connected to a standard refrigerant connection and not to EMX port, remove jumper JP1 from PCB.
Emix is compatible with any heat solar system. This huge exibility is unique and lets you apply this technology also to
the natural circulation solar systems that are very popular in Mediterranean countries.
Instead Emix tank is a turnkey solution tted with a tank that contains a special AISI316L stainless steel exchanger
inside for solar systems.
Emix is able to manage any third party tank, including electric boilers; this unique feature makes Emix an excellent
solution not just for new systems but also to protect existing investments.
It is recommended not to install the unit too far away from the tank. The maximum limit for hydraulic tube is 10 m.
In case the new or existing tank is equipped with one or more electrical elements (up to 3), Emix uses them as a source
of backup energy to the heat pump if this is temporarily deactivated or if the outdoor temperature is so low to require
extra energy; a part of these functions can be activated during installation and can be de-activated by the end user
with a special command on the Emix function button, others are automatically managed by the electronics and let the
system work correctly (especially used for legionella-cycle). Emix tank is already equipped with three 1 kW electrical
elements, also managed by the electronics and that can be enabled or disabled by the end user.
Emix and Emix tank must always be connected to the electrical power supply in a separate manner compared to the
connection of the outdoor unit of the iSeries system, which they are connected to with only the shielded cable of the
two-wire communication bus as with all the other indoor units. Emix and Emix tank do not have any functional relation
with the heating of the environment through internal air units or hydrokits and related hydraulic system on the hydronic
side; Emix and Emix tank have the sole function of producing domestic hot water in every operating and applicative
condition, with water reaching 80°C completely from a renewable source, i.e. without the aid of electrical elements; it
is clear that if a solar system is connected to Emix, this will facilitate the work of Emix and the heat pump even further
by taking the system’s energy ef ciency to its maximum.
Emix and Emix tank are built inside a white metal cabinet that is easy to integrate in any home or of ce and looks good
next to other white goods such as fridges, electrical boilers, etc...
The two devices are provided as standard with any component necessary for their regular operation and only require
some external hydraulic components. These components are usually selected and provided by the installer when in-
stalling a boiler or a solar system (e.g. a mixing unit or a vent valve for excess pressure...)
Emix and Emix tank have been designed to work with water pressures up to 10 bars and thus are compatible with
water networks in every European country. They comply with the strictest European standards for the double insulation
between the circulation of domestic water and the refrigerant.
Emix and Emix tank are fully automatic and the end user must only decide the maximum temperature of the domestic
water. This can be done by using the special Emix function key. A series of coloured LEDs will indicate the temperature
of the water and some special operating conditions, for example the anti- legionella cycle, the active electrical ele-
ments, the deactivated heat pump etc...
Therefore Emix and Emix tank must not be set with complicated menus for operating cycles or environment heating
priority. These two very complex units are simple to use.
