Disposal; Avoid Damage To Property - Alpha-InnoTec SWC V Series Operating Manual

Injuries and environmental damage due to
refrigerant
The unit contains harmful and environmentally
dangerous refrigerant. If refrigerant leaks from the
unit:
1. Switch off unit.
2. Thoroughly ventilate installation room.
3. Notify authorised customer service.

2.5 Disposal

Batteries
Improper disposal of the buffer battery damages the
environment.
► Dispose of the buffer battery in an environmen-
tally compatible way according to the local regu-
lations.
Media harmful to the environment
Improper disposal of environmentally harmful media
(antifreeze, refrigerant) damages the environment:
► Collect media safely.
► Dispose of the media in an environmentally com-
patible way according to the local regulations.

2.6 Avoid damage to property

Improper action
Requirements for minimum scale and corrosion
damage in hot water heating systems:
● Proper planning, design and start-up
● Closed system with regard to corrosion
● Integration of adequately dimensioned pressure
retention
● Use of deionised heating water (VE water)
● Regular servicing and maintenance
Subject to change without notice | 83057000bUK – Translation into English of the original German operating manual | ait-deutschland GmbH
If a system is not planned, designed, started up and
operated according to the given requirements, there
is a risk that the following damage and faults will
occur:
● Malfunctions and the failure of components, e.g.
pumps, valves
● Internal and external leaks, e.g. from heat
exchangers
● Cross-section reduction and blockages in
components, e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps
● Material fatigue
● Gas bubbles and
(cavitation)
● Negative effect on heat transfer, e.g. formation
of coatings, deposits, and associated noises,
e.g. boiling noises, flow noises
► Note and follow the information in this operating
manual for all work on and with the unit.
Unsuitable quality of the fill and make-up
water in the heating circuit
The efficiency of the system and the life of the heat
generator and the heating components depend
decisively on the quality of the heating water.
If the system is filled with untreated domestic w ater,
calcium precipitates as scale. Limescale deposits
form on the heat transfer surfaces of the heating. The
efficiency drops and energy costs rise. In extreme
cases the heat exchangers are damaged.
► Fill system with
(VE water) only.
Unsuitable quality of the water-antifreeze
mixture in the heat source
► For operation of the heat source with water-
antifreeze mixture, ensure that the water fulfils
the quality specifications of the heating water
side.
