SAV Systems supplies Danfoss FlatStation; it is not the manufacturer
SAV Systems markets and supplies the Danfoss FlatStation range of heat interface units in the UK, and its product pages describe these as heating-led FlatStation products built around self-acting or mechanical control principles. SAV is not the manufacturer of the underlying unit, and asset records referencing the SAV name should be understood as describing a supplied Danfoss product rather than a separate SAV-built design.
Because SAV's own marketing emphasises the self-acting, mechanical character of these heating FlatStations, it is worth confirming on a case-by-case basis whether any electronic control or additional module has been added to a specific installation, rather than assuming the whole supplied range is purely mechanical in every instance.
1 Series NOVI versus 7 Series BS: different hydraulic jobs
The 1 Series NOVI, as described on SAV's own product page, is a mechanical instantaneous domestic hot water unit, meaning hot water is produced directly from the network supply through a plate exchanger without a separate storage vessel. The 7 Series BS is built differently: it is an indirect unit providing both heating and domestic hot water through separate heat exchangers, with a pump present where the design includes one.
These two ranges should not be treated as functionally equivalent. A hot-water-only complaint on a 1 Series NOVI points toward its instantaneous exchanger and primary flow path, while a similar complaint on a 7 Series BS needs to be checked against its own, separate domestic hot water exchanger while separately checking the heating-side secondary pump where fitted.
Servicing self-acting and mechanical FlatStations
Service work on these self-acting and mechanical Danfoss FlatStation products supplied by SAV typically focuses on strainers, the relevant exchanger or exchangers, and the mechanical thermostatic control assembly, since there is often no electronic fault log to consult. Diagnosis relies more on physical symptoms, such as temperature response at the outlet or flow behaviour at the valve, than on retrieving stored error data.
Where a 7 Series BS unit includes a pump, its condition and electrical supply are relevant to a heating complaint in a way that does not apply to a purely instantaneous unit like the 1 Series NOVI. Before booking a visit, confirming the exact SAV product page reference for the installed model helps establish which exchangers, pump arrangement and control type should be expected on site, which in turn affects likely parts and time needed.
FlatStation selection, parts and verification
SAV presents FlatStation equipment for multi-dwelling heat-network projects, with the selected series and project build defining its hydraulic duty. Do not infer heating-only, combined or direct operation solely from the SAV supplier label. Match mechanical control cartridges, valve ratings, exchanger connections and seal materials to the underlying Danfoss model and documented build. Following work, record incoming primary conditions, stable domestic hot-water temperature at a measured flow rate and heating response where that duty is present. Inspect disturbed joints and carry out the approved model-specific tightness checks. A recurring strainer blockage may need operator water-quality action.

Common Questions
Does SAV Systems manufacture the FlatStation units it supplies?
No. SAV Systems supplies the Danfoss FlatStation range in the UK; Danfoss is the manufacturer. Records referencing SAV should be read as describing a supplied Danfoss product rather than a unit designed and built by SAV itself.
Are all SAV-supplied FlatStations purely mechanical?
SAV markets its heating FlatStation products as self-acting and mechanical, but whether any electronic control or module has been added depends on the specific installation, so this should be confirmed for the individual unit rather than assumed for the whole range.
What is the difference between the 1 Series NOVI and the 7 Series BS?
The 1 Series NOVI uses mechanical regulation for instantaneous domestic hot water; the full installed arrangement should be confirmed from its hydraulic drawing. The 7 Series BS is an indirect unit providing heating and domestic hot water through separate exchangers, with a pump where the design includes one. They serve different hydraulic arrangements and should not be assumed interchangeable.
Does the 7 Series BS always include a pump?
A pump is present on the 7 Series BS where fitted as part of its indirect heating and hot water arrangement, but confirming the specific unit's build against SAV's product documentation is the reliable way to establish whether one is present.
Why is there no electronic fault log on these FlatStations?
Because many SAV-supplied Danfoss FlatStations use self-acting, mechanical controls rather than electronic regulation, diagnosis relies on physical symptoms such as flow and temperature behaviour rather than stored digital fault codes.
