Danfoss Termix VMTD-F MIX-I Operating instructions

Brand: Danfoss

Model: Termix VMTD-F MIX-I

Type: Operating instructions

Danfoss Termix VMTD-F MIX-I is a complete solution with built-in water heater and heating system with differential pressure control and mixing loop. The Termix VMTD-F MIX-I is applicable for for single-family houses and for decentralized systems in multi-family houses.

District heating (DH) The substation is prefabricated with a differential pressure controller, fitting piece and sensor pocket for insertion of a heat meter as well as strainer and ball valves. Furthermore the substation is delivered with a mixing loop including pump, controls and non-return valve.
