20 | Application Considerations LV Heat Pump Series After pressurization, be sure to remove the plug from the end of the loop pump motor to allow trapped air to be discharged and to ensure the motor housing has been flooded. Be sure the loop flow center provides adequate flow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger.
LV Heat Pump Series Application Considerations | 21 Cooling Tower/Boiler Systems Geothermal Closed Loop Systems These systems typically use a common loop temperature Operation of an LV Series unit on a closed loop ° ° maintained at 50 F to 100 F.
22 | Water Quality LV Heat Pump Series Open Well Water Systems WATER QUALITY When a water well is used exclusively for supplying NOTICE: Failure to ensure proper water water to the heat pump, the pump should operate only quality and flow rates can shorten the life of when the Heat Pump operates.
24 | Piping LV Heat Pump Series PIPING OPTIONS Supply and return piping must be as large as the unit Extended Range Option connections on the heat pump (larger on long runs). LV heat pumps are supplied standard with capillary style Never use flexible hoses of a smaller inside diameter expansion device tuned to typical boiler/tower system than that of the water connections on the unit.
