Heat Pump And Tank Assembly - Rheem 953060DP Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

HEAT PUMP AND TANK ASSEMBLY

HEAT PUMP AND STORAGE TANKS
The heat pump water heater system is modular and comprises three main
components: the heat pump water heater, storage tanks and primary circulator.
An auxiliary booster and/or circulator may also be employed as part of the
system. The water heater must not be operated until all components are
assembled.
HEAT PUMP
Locate the heat pump(s) in the appropriate position observing the required
clearances for operation and servicing. Refer to page 42.
Mounting the heat pump on "waffle" pads is sufficient for anti-vibration purposes.
It is recommended to place 3 or 4 waffle pads for the full length of the heat pump
to distribute the weight evenly.
Heat pumps shall be installed outdoors, without ducting, for sufficient supply of
heat energy and adequate ventilation. Good performance is obtained when the
heat pump has a constant supply of fresh air. Failure to observe the above
recommendations may lead to lower than expected performance or problematic
operation of the heat pump.
Ventilation
The heat pump draws fresh air at a rate as specified in the table on page Error!
Bookmark not defined.. The energy used must be replenished for the heat pump
to perform as designed.

STORAGE TANKS
Rheem Commercial storage tanks are employed to store the hot water generated
by the heat pump. The tanks must be manifolded using the Equa-Flow
system to ensure even distribution of the stored energy. Up to ten tanks can be
manifolded together in a single bank. More than one bank can be used. Follow
the diagram on page 48 when manifolding the tanks.
Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the storage tanks for specific
information relating to the installation of the storage tanks.
