If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.

Preparing water piping

NOTICE
In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen
diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of
oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.
NOTICE
Water circuit requirements. Make sure to comply with the
water pressure and water temperature requirements
below. For additional water circuit requirements, see the
installer reference guide.
▪ Water pressure – Domestic hot water. The maximum water
pressure is 4 bar. Provide adequate safeguards in the water circuit
to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded. The
minimum water pressure to operate is 1 bar.
▪ Water pressure – Space heating/cooling circuit. The maximum
water pressure is 3 bar. Provide adequate safeguards in the water
circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.
The minimum water pressure to operate is 1 bar.
▪ Water temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories
(valve, connections,...) MUST

To check the water volume and flow rate

Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume in the installation is higher than
the minimum water volume, the internal water volume of the indoor
unit NOT included:
If...
Cooling operation
Heating operation
NOTICE
When circulation in each space heating/cooling loop is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum water volume is guaranteed, even if all of the
valves are closed.
Minimum flow rate
Check that the minimum flow rate in the installation is guaranteed in
all conditions. For this purpose, use the overpressure bypass valve
delivered with the unit, and respect the minimum water volume.
If operation is...
Cooling
Heating/defrost
Domestic hot water production
NOTICE
When circulation in each or certain space heating loops is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum flow rate is guaranteed, even if all valves are
closed. In case the minimum flow rate cannot be reached,
a flow error 7H will be generated (no heating or operation).
See the installer reference guide for more information.
