Danfoss Termix VVX Compact 28 - 40 Operating instructions

Brand: Danfoss

Model: Termix VVX Compact 28 - 40

Type: Operating instructions

Danfoss Termix VVX Compact 28 - 40 is a complete solution for hot water and space heating featuring a heat exchanger for DHW, a plate heat exchanger for space heating, a circulation pump, a safety valve, manometer and various valves. It’s suitable for district heating as the energy source but is also able to handle other sources such as oil, gas or solar power. The DHW temperature is regulated with thermostatic or electronic controls and is able to maintain comfort temperature even with varying operating conditions.
