6.2 Final shutdown
WARNING!
Cooling systems (heating pumps), climate control
systems and heating devices that are incorrectly dis-
mantled can both endanger the life and health of
people and exhibit impaired function during start-up.
Work on the ROTEX HPSU compact (such as
dismantling components, temporary or final
shutdown of system) is only to be carried out by
persons who are authorised and who have
successfully completed qualifying technical or
vocational training for the specific activity and
who have taken part in advanced training sessions
recognised by the relevant responsible authorities.
These include, in particular, certified heating
engineers, qualified electricians and HVAC
specialists, who on account of their professional
training and expert knowledge, have experience
in the professional installation and maintenance of
heating, cooling and air conditioning systems and
heat pumps.
You must observe the warning and safety
instructions in the installation manual on working
in the coolant system.
A final shutdown may be necessary if
– the system is defective and is being dismantled and disposed
of.
– components of the system are defective, are being disman-
tled and replaced.
– the system or parts of the system are being dismantled and
reassembled in another location.
The ROTEX HPSU compact is designed to be environmentally
friendly and easy to install: the jobs described above can
therefore be carried out in an efficient and environmentally-
friendly manner.
When changing location or replacing parts on the coolant system
in the pipe network:
Pump the coolant back into the external heat pump unit (see
installation and operating guide for the particular external
heat pump unit).
When disposing of the machine or replacing parts in the coolant
system:
Suction the coolant from the machine and recycle (see instal-
lation and operating guide for the particular external heat
pump unit).

CAUTION!
Coolant escaping from the system causes long-term
damage to the environment.
Mixing different kinds of coolant can result in hazard-
ous toxic gases being released. Mixing with oils when
coolant escapes can lead to the soil being contami-
nated.
Never allow coolant to be released into the atmos-
phere - always suction it off and recycle using a
suitable recycling device.
Always recycle coolant, in so doing keeping it
separated from oils and other additives.
Only store different types of coolant separately, in
suitable pressure vessels.
Dispose of coolants, oils and additives properly
and in accordance with the applicable national
regulations of the country it is being used in.
