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 – Space heating/cooling circuit. The maximum
water pressure is 3 bar (=0.3 MPa). 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
(=0.1 MPa).

▪ Water pressure – Domestic hot water. The maximum water
pressure is 10 bar. Provide adequate safeguards in the DHW
circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.
The minimum water pressure to operate is 1 bar.
▪ Water pressure – Storage tank. The water inside the storage
tank is not pressurized. Therefore a visual check of the water level
in the storage tank has to be carried out annually.
▪ Water temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories
(valve, connections,...) MUST
temperatures:
INFORMATION
The following figure is an example and may NOT
completely match your system layout
89°C
75°C
▪ Storage tank – Water quality. Minimum requirements regarding
the quality of water used to fill the storage tank:
▪ Water hardness (calcium and magnesium, calculated as
calcium carbonate): ≤3 mmol/l
▪ Conductivity: ≤1500 (ideal: ≤100) μS/cm
▪ Chloride: ≤250 mg/l
▪ Sulphate: ≤250 mg/l
▪ pH value: 6.5~8.5
For properties deviating from the minimum requirements, suitable
conditioning measures have to be taken.

To check the water volume and flow rate

To make sure that the unit operates properly:
▪ You MUST check the minimum water volume and the minimum
flow rate.
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum 20
litres, the internal water volume of the outdoor unit NOT included.
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.
Minimum required flow rate
