ModuSat® Single Plate Double Circuit (SPDC) Heating Interface Units

Our ModuSat SPDC range of HIUs provide indirect high efficiency heating and independent fast recovery hot water via an externally mounted DHW tank fed by the unit.

Units are suitable for both radiator and underfloor heating systems and are well suited to high end apartments and student halls of residence due to the high capacities and back-up stored hot water.

Control of Two Output Temperatures

ModuSat® SP DC units are able to control two output temperatures, one for the Heating system and another for the Domestic Hot Water tank, a real benefit for Underfloor heating systems.

When in Domestic Hot Water mode, our Smart Connected Control technology in the ModuSat unit will modulate the primary flow ‘up’ to increase output temperature for fast cylinder recovery, but when in heating mode the primary flow will modulate ‘down’ to reduce secondary output temperature.

This is particularly beneficial for Under Floor Heating systems where there is a requirement for lower temperatures and means there is no requirement for a mixing valve or pump set prior to the heating manifold, saving time and money installing additional equipment.

Smart Energy Regulation and Control

Our Smart Energy Regulation and Control provides a myriad of benefits in terms of HIU performance and optimisation of heat network efficiency. So how does it work?

Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICV’s) provide integrated differential pressure control, providing balanced, self-configuring flow through the HIU
Fast acting, electronically regulated actuators provide immediate response to changes in energy demand
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control logic provides accurate actuator/valve control and fast response to hot water demand, without “overshoot” (Reduces energy wastage)
Electronically actuated PICV’s also function as a shut off valve, so ModuSat® Smart HIU’s can easily be configured for either credit or PAYG billing systems

Metering and billing for heat networks Image

Metering and Billing Ready

The Heat Network (Metering & Billing) Regulations (2014) require each resident to be billed individually for the proportion of the total heat they consume from the heat network.

Our ModuSat® units make this easy, featuring an integrated ultrasonic heat meter, which is MID approved with class 2 accuracy (BS EN 1434), ready to connect to a communication network for metering and billing purposes.

In addition, our PaySmart® pre-payment technology is also integrated into each ModuSat® heat interface unit as standard, and – unlike many other pre-payment billing solutions – can easily be activated remotely at any time and requires no additional hardware or infrastructure to set up.

Technical details

ModuSat® Single Plate Double Circuit Heating Interface Units

The Evinox ModuSat® single plate double circuit heat interface unit (HIU) provides high efficiency heating and independent fast recovery hot water, designed for installation with a suitable external DHW storage tank fed by the unit (not Evinox supply).

The unit consists of a single plate heat exchanger, combined with electronic PID control using Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) with modulating actuator achieving a low primary return temperature as well as providing differential pressure control and flow rate regulation.

The SPDC heat interface unit uses a diverter valve to switch secondary flow either through the heating circuit or fed to the external DHW tank and operates in DHW priority mode to provide fast recovery of hot water.

In addition to this the ModuSat® can provide direct control of underfloor heating output temperature without the need for any underfloor pumps, blending valves or mixing valves.

Available in a range of plate sizes and connection configurations, the SPDC HIU is suitable for many different type of installation.

Application

The ModuSat® SP DC unit is designed to operate with Evinox SmartTalk® two-way communication system for remote metering and diagnostics.

Heating

The heating circuit consists of a plate heat exchanger (PHE), PICV, safety relief valve, manometer, flow and return temperature sensors, Wilo PWM circulation pump and expansion vessel. The heating circuit flow temperature is controlled by the modulation of the primary flow rate with the integrated PICV actuator. Weather compensation is applied to the set heating temperature using SmartTalk® 2-way communication. Suitable for radiators, underfloor heating or fan coil units.

Domestic Hot Water

Domestic hot water is generated in an external unvented cylinder.
