Danfoss Termix VX Operating instructions

Brand: Danfoss

Model: Termix VX

Type: Operating instructions

Danfoss Termix VX is a district heating substation that provides optimal safety, efficient energy transfer, service-friendly construction, and a compact design. The substation is used if a heat exchanger is required or on a conversion to district heating where the existing equipment is unsuitable for direct connection. The Termix VX substation is ideal when a high level of security against burst pipes and water damage in the heating system is required.
