6.5.2 Corrosion
The VDI 2035 recommends the use of partially demineralised
water or demineralised water in systems with larger-than-aver-
age specific system volumes of 50 l/kW.
These measures (e.g. pH stabilizers) are implemented to set the
pH value of the heating water to minimise the risk of corrosion
in the heat pump and in the heating system.
Irrespective of the legal requirements, the following limit values
in the heating water used for various substances must not be
undershot or exceeded. This is to ensure safe operation of the
heat pump. A water analysis must be carried out before com-
missioning the system. If the water analysis produces a "-" for a
maximum of one indicator or a "o" for a maximum of two indica-
tors, the analysis must be classed as negative.

1. If the limit values in the VDI 2035 are more restrictive, these apply accord-
+
ingly.
2. When using demineralised water, ensure that the minimum permissible pH
o
value of 8.2 is not undershot. Failure to comply with this value can result in
the heat pump being destroyed.

Notes

"+" = Normally good resistance

"o" = Corrosion problems may arise,particularly if several

factors receive an evaluation of "o"
-
"-" = Should not be used
o
NOTE
+
The water quality should be checked again after 4 to 6 weeks,
o
as the quality could change during the first few weeks of
+
operation due to chemical reactions.

-
NOTE
+
It is mandatory to use hydraulically closed systems. It is not
o
permissible to use any open hydraulic systems!
-
+
Filling and purging of the system must be carried out on-site.
o
NOTE
-
If the unit is connected to an existing hydraulic water circuit,
+
the hydraulic pipes must be cleaned to remove residues and
o/-
limescale.
+
o
A suitable purging facility must also be installed in the heating
-
circuit on-site.
+
It is recommended to install a shut-off device in the return be-
o
fore integration into the indoor unit is carried out.
