Introduction

Emix tank

 

is the innovative indoor unit in the iSeries system range, able to provide domestic hot water from a thermo-

dynamic source all year round, i.e. independently of the system’s operating mode.

Emix tank is a new component of the iSeries system which is added to the very broad range of indoor units. 

The purpose of Emix tank is to produce domestic hot water through storage, using the energy produced directly from 
the heat pump (therefore renewable energy) and providing the service at the same time as heating and cooling the 
environments, thanks to the various air and/or hydronic indoor units of the iSeries range.

Emix tank 220 & 300 lt

Emix tank 220 lt and 300 lt offering you a complete solution, including:

• 

the Emix concepts and components

• 

a tank of 220 or 300 liters made in Stainless Steel AISI444 (currently the best)

• 

the solar coil in Stainless Steel AISI316L to be connected to a third parts solar panel system

• 

three per 1 kW electric elements managed by the electronics of Emix tank or manually by the end users

• 

the mixing valve to manage properly the hot water temperature

• 

electric connections to manage the tank by iSeries and to power it by single phase or three phase power supply

Emix tank is both a proper heat pump tank and a full feature electrical water heater

Emix tank must be connected to an outdoor unit of the iSeries range equipped with special software and a specific 
connection dedicated to Emix tank. The compatible outdoor units are all the following outdoor units of the iSeries range 
with EMX port (*)

(*) All the previous models does not support Emix tank.

The following diagram illustrates the concept exposed on the previous page and shows a system configuration where 
three indoor direct expansion units, a hydrokit for a floor system and an Emix tank coexist, all connected to a G110.
