The QT series heat pumps are designed for use with DUCT WORK free return (non-ducted) and either free blow with the Any heat pump is more critical of proper operating use of QPB Plenum Box or a duct supply air system. charge and an adequate duct system than a straight air The QPB Plenum Box mounts on top of the unit and has conditioning unit.
FIGURE 8 CONDENSATE DRAIN The side drain requires a water trap for proper drainage. See Figure 8A. The drain can be routed through the floor or through the wall. If the drain is to be routed through an unconditioned space, it must be protected from freezing . The drain line must be able to be removed from the unit if it is necessary to remove the unit from the wall.
The rear drain can be used with wall thickness of up to MIST ELIMINATOR SERVICE (Optional – 10 inches where a water trap can be installed between only used with one of the vent options) the unit and the interior wall. See Figure 8B. The trap A mist eliminator is supplied with the wall sleeve.

WIRING – MAIN POWER TABLE 2 OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE Refer to the unit rating plate and/or Table 1 for wire sizing information and maximum fuse or “HACR Type” circuit breaker size. Each unit is marked with a “Minimum Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring used must be sized to carry that amount of current.

If the unit is equipped with an optional hot of the thermostat is factory wired to the front panel of water coil plenum box the water valve will be the unit.
START UP DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH AND LOCKOUT SEQUENCE EQUIPMENT If the high pressure switch opens, the compressor LOW PRESSURE SWITCH contactor will de-energize immediately. The lockout timer will go into a soft lockout and stay in soft lockout NOTE: This unit is supplied with two low pressure until the high pressure switch closes and the delay on switches installed, a 15 PSIG and a 27 PSIG.

Surprisingly, the heat pump itself is rarely the cause. Most problems occur because designers and installers Bard supplies a work sheet to simplify head loss forget that a closed loop earth coupled heat pump calculations and circulator selection.

OPEN LOOP (Well System Applications) WATER CONNECTIONS TABLE 9 CONSTANT FLOW VALVES It is very important that an adequate supply of clean, noncorrosive water at the proper pressure be provided before the installation is made. Insufficient water, in the heating mode for example, will cause the low pressure switch to trip, shutting down the heat pump.

Filtering heating refrigerant pressure table in installation will usually remove most suspended particles (fine manual. Once again, if they do not match, check for sand, small gravel) from the water. The problem airflow problems and then refrigeration system with suspended particles in the water is that it will erode metal parts, pumps, heat transfer coils, etc.
