HEAT PUMP AND TANK ASSEMBLY

The designed primary pump per 15kW model is Grundfos CM3-2 and per 35kW
model is CM10-1. Refer to installation manuals supplied with pumps. If another
pump has been supplied, consult Rheem before continuing with the installation.
Header pipe sizing is based on one pump per heat pump with a total length of
20m of primary flow and return piping and 20 x 90
manifolds on storage tanks and heat pumps at 1.2m/sec velocity, with a cold side
water entering temperature not exceeding 35
consult Rheem before continuing with the installation.
Multiple heat pumps MUST be installed using Equa-Flow® principles to ensure
the demand on each heat pump (or storage tank) in the bank is the same as any
other. To achieve this, the following is necessary:
1.
The inlet manifolds must be designed to balance the flow to each heat
pump i.e. each branch line must be the same diameter and length.
2.
The outlet manifolds must be designed to balance the flow from each heat
pump i.e. each branch line must be the same diameter and length.
3.
The first heat pump in must be the last heat pump out.
Note: Inlet and outlet water isolation valves MUST be installed at each heat pump
to enable each heat pump to be individually isolated for servicing. The inlet
isolation valves MUST be installed before the pumps to also enable the pumps
to be isolated for servicing.
