9.7 - flow control
The water flow switch supplied needs to be installed at the
heat reclaim condenser water inlet and protects the conden-
ser loop against low water flow conditions. When the heat
reclaim mode is required, a signal from the additional board
output activates the system pump. Once the pump is started,
flow detection takes place for one minute. If no flow is
detected by the end of this time:
1.
changeover to the heat reclaim mode is not permitted
2.
mode is changed to cooling only mode when the water
flow rate is low, accompanied by a water flow detection
alarm.

9.8 - heat reclaim operation
The heat reclaim condenser option is only available on units
with two circuits. It has been designed with one or two single
or two-circuit shell-and-tube heat exchangers, depending
on the unit size.
The two circuits are independently controlled. One circuit
can be in cooling only and the other in heat reclaim mode.
Changeover from one mode to the other (changeover from
heat exchange at the air condenser to heat exchange at the
water condenser and vice versa) is ensured by motorised
two-way valves located upstream of the air and water con-
densers.
Depending on the mode selected (heat reclaim or cooling),
the logic compares the water entering temperature required
with the setpoint of the condenser entering water tempera-
ture, chosen by the user. Depending on this difference the
unit circuits are either activated or deactivated in heat
reclaim mode (one or two together), as shown in the follo-
wing diagram and table.

9.10 - frost protection
The heat reclaim condenser is equippped with electric
heaters to protect the condenser against frost. These are
activated if the condenser entering and leaving water tem-
peratures are below 3°C and deactivated, if they are higher
than 4.4°C.
