Freeze Protection - Samsung RC090MHXEA Installation Manual

Freeze protection

Frost can make some damage on the hydraulic system. It is because it is installed outside house nomally. To avoid taking risks
of freezing problem, special cares such as Anti-freezing fluid are required as below. Ethylene glycol concentration can vary
depeding on outdoor temperature where our system is installed, fill in Ethylene glycol by mixing as below.
Ethylene Glycol Is Toxic
Ethylene glycol is toxic if swallowed, and therefore is a hazard to animals and small children.
WARNING
Ethylene glycol must be handled in accordance with relevant local laws and regulations.

Setting capacity and pre-pressure of the expansion vessel
When it is required to change the default pre-pressure of
the expansion vessel(1 bar), keep in mind the following
guidelines:
f Use only dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-
pressure.
f Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel
pre-pressure will lead to malfunction of the system.
Therefore, the pre-pressure should only be adjusted by a
licensed installer.
Installation height
difference(a)
<7m No pre-pressure adjustment required.
Actions required:
• Pre-pressure must be increased, calculate the
>7m
• Check if the water volume is lower than
(a) Installation height difference: height difference(m) between the highest point of the water circuit and the indoor unit. If
the unit is located at the highest point of the installation, the installation height is considered 0m.
Calculating the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel
f The pre-pressure(Pg) to be set depends on the maximum installation height difference(H) and is calculated as below :
Pg=(H/10+0.3) bar
