SE-UHT Series

SE-UHT-25V

Cascade heat pump delivering hot water to 125 °C from ambient air alone. An R410A low stage lifts the air-side heat, an R245fa high stage takes it the rest of the way, and the two meet at a cascade heat exchanger.

Test conditions

  • T1 — Ambient 20 °C, water outlet 120 °C
  • T2 — Ambient 7 °C, water outlet 120 °C
  • T3 — Ambient -7 °C, water outlet 120 °C
  • T4 — Ambient -12 °C, water outlet 120 °C
  • T5 — Ambient -20 °C, water outlet 120 °C

Installation requirement

  • Protection device and cable size are not published for this model. Confirm both with Sunniva before wiring — the rated current above is not sufficient to size them.
  • Maintain water flow of 4.3 m³/hr through the unit.

Built to order

Options available on this model

Options

  • Water connection — Coupling type to suit the site — threaded, flanged or grooved.
  • Casing — Stainless steel or powder-coated finish.
  • Circulation pump — Can be built into the unit instead of being fitted in the plant room.
  • Condenser — Stainless steel or copper, in place of the standard build.

How to order them

  • None of the above is the standard build, and none of it is included in the specification table on this page.
  • Ask for it at enquiry and have it confirmed in writing on the order acknowledgement. Price, lead time and weight can all change with it.

The table above describes the standard machine. Options are quoted per order and are available across the range except on the All-in-One and Split units.

Installation steps

Follow in order — a commissioning engineer should sign off before start-up
  1. Cast the RCC plinth 1010 × 930 × 150 mm in M20 concrete, 100 mm above finished floor. Let it cure and check it is level within 3 mm per metre.
  2. Set the unit down on anti-vibration pads. Keep 600 mm clear at the finned coil faces and 1000 mm above the fan — the unit must breathe or capacity drops.
  3. Place the tank on its own level pad, as close to the heat pump as the site allows. Short pipes lose less heat.
  4. Pipe tank bottom → isolation valve → Y-strainer → primary pump → heat pump inlet, in that order. Fit the non-return valve after the pump.
  5. Pipe the heat pump outlet → tank top inlet. Fit an isolation valve at each end so the unit can be serviced without draining the tank.
  6. Fit the automatic air vent and the safety valve on the tank top. Pipe the safety valve discharge to an open drain — never cap it.
  7. Bring the cold water feed into the tank bottom through an isolation valve and a non-return valve.
  8. Fit the tank sensor into the tank pocket and run its cable back to the heat pump controller. Do not run it alongside the power cable.
  9. Insulate every hot line with 25 mm closed-cell insulation, pump body included.
  10. Power the unit from a dedicated MCB using .
  11. Fill and vent the system fully. Confirm the flow switch stops the unit when the pump is off, then start.

Reading the envelope

  • Te (evaporating) follows the source the unit draws heat from — the colder the air or source water, the lower Te sits.
  • Tc (condensing) follows the water leaving the unit — asking for 80 °C hot water puts Tc near the top of the envelope.
  • A duty is valid only inside the shaded area. A cold source combined with very hot water pushes the point towards the top-left, which is exactly where the envelope closes in — that corner is the real limit on winter performance.

Two circuits, drawn on one frame. The low stage cannot condense much above 67 °C and the high stage cannot evaporate below 22 °C, so neither spans the lift alone — the shaded band between them is where the cascade heat exchanger hands the heat over. Envelopes redrawn from the Xecom / Embraco Nidec scroll compressor selection guide, “Operating Envelop”. Where a duty sits close to a boundary, confirm against the compressors fitted to the unit before finalising the design.
