For the User
MAINTENANCE
The safety valve in the system where the accumulator tank is installed must be inspected regularly (about four times a year) to prevent blockages.
To inspect the valve, open the safety valve manually and check that water ows through the overow pipe. If this does not happen then the safety valve is defective and must be replaced.
SERVICE
For service, contact the installer. Serial number (PZ3) (14 digits) and installation date should always be stated.
Only replacement parts supplied by NIBE may be used.
For the Installer
COMPONENT LOCATION
UKV 40
GENERAL
UKV 40 has several dierent areas of use.
UKV 40 can be used during external control of the heating system. The heat pump then charges UKV 40 with oating or xed condensing. The external control function controls the heat distribution from UKV 40 to the consumer.
If the ow to the heating system can be restricted using radiator thermostats, for example, install a UKV 40 as an intermediate tank. This ensures a secure ow for the heat pump.
UKV 40 also allows a greater ow to the heating system than across the heat pump.
In some installations, so-called heating clicks occur as a result of movements during changes in temperature. To eliminate temporary changes in temperature, and thereby prevent heating clicks, install a UKV 40 after the heating installation.

UKV 40 can also be used to increase the system volume thereby prevent malfunctions.
The accumulator tank consists of a condensation-insulate steel vessel with polyurethane insulation. Outer cladding white, powder-coated sheet metal with ends of durable plastic.

| n | Serial number platePZ3 |
The accumulator tank is designed and manufactured for a maximum cut-o pressure of 6 bar.
The working temperature is +4 to +95^ .
TRANSPORT
UKV 40 should be transported and stored in the dry.
ASSEMBLY
The accumulator tank must be installed in a dry area at a temperature that does not drop below 0^ (frost-free).
MOUNTING
UKV 40 has to be installed vertically suspended on the wall. First install the enclosed mounting bracket on the wall, then suspend UKV 40 from the bracket.
SUPPLIED COMPONENTS
Suspension bracket.
INSTALLATION
All connections (including connections or holes that are used) must be insulated to minimise energy losses.
DOCKINGS

NOTE
These are outline diagrams. Actual installations must be planned according to applicable standards.
Volume increase as well as reduction of spikes

A UKV 40 is installed as a volume increaser in those caes/ent the accumulator tank by loosening the connection where the system volume in the climate system is below (XL8) at the top of the accumulator tank. the minimum recommended volume for the heat pump. 2. Fill the vessel through the drain valve.
Volume and ow increaser and reduction in heat spikes

A UKV 40 is installed as a volume and ow increaser in those cases where the system volume in the climate system is below the minimum recommended volume for the heat pump and/or the ow is restricted without control.
Volume increase as well as reduction of heat spikes

A UKV 40 is installed as a volume increaser in those cases where the system volume in the climate system is below the minimum recommended volume for the heat pump.
PIPE INSTALLATION
File installation must be carried out in accordance with current norms and directives.
The drain valve is installed on the heating system's supply line (XL1).
The system where UKV 40 is installed must be supplied with a safety valve of max. 6 bar (0.6 MPa).
The overow pipe must be the same size as the safety valve's. Route the overow pipe from the safety valve, sloping along its entire length, and ensure that it is frostof and well supported. The mouth of the overow pipe must be visible and not placed close to electrical components.
Ensure that incoming water is clean.
If uncertain, contact a plumber alternatively see applicable standards.
FILLING
Fill the accumulator tank as follows:
-
Fill the vessel through the drain valve.
-
When only water comes out of the connection (XL8) (an air-water mixture emerges initially), the connection can be closed and the accumulator tank is lled.
