Basic docking with hot water and a heating system
VVM 500 is designed for connection and communication with
NIBE’s air/water heat pumps, and offer a complete heating sys-
tem. NIBE’s air/water pumps cover most of a home’s heating and
hot water requirements. VVM 500 operates together with NIBE’s
air/water heat pumps. If the outdoor temperature drops to a lev-
el below the stop temperature of the heat pump the VVM 500
heats the home.
Together with F2300, VVM 500 satisfies the heating require-
ments of buildings from 12–24 kW in a climate with outdoor
temperature above -25 °C. Where less heating is required, use
the F2026. Use the NIBE VPDIM software to decide the correct
heat pump size. The hot water capacity depends on which out-
door module you select and whether and add-ons are allowed.
For example with the F2300-VVM 500 system the tap volume is
500 litres (40 °C) at 12 litres/min when the tank is filled with just
the F2300.
When combined with an outdoor pool in the summer, The
F2300-VVM500 system’s outdoor unit does not normally need
higher dimensioning. This is because the building’s heating re-
quirement is less in the summer time and F2300’s output and ef-
ficiency increases with warmer outdoor temperatures. Solar pan-
els connected to VVM 500 can also be used to heat the pool.
The VVM 500 and NIBE’s air/water heat pumps offer complete
flexibility. VVM 500 is prepared for pool heating, solar panels or
when other external heat sources should be included in the sys-
tem.
