Heat source The main components of the cooling circuit consist of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and There are essentially three heat sources from an expansion valve. In a finned evaporator, the which heat pumps can derive energy: air, soil and refrigerant evaporates both because of lower pres- groundwater.

The connection of refrigerant pipes and the handling of refrigerant may be only be carried out by qualified personnel (competence cate- gory I). In order to create a watertight pipe/cable duct cutout and prevent damage, we recommend use of a REMKO pipe gland.
4.5 Layout, assembly indoor unit Minimum spacing for indoor units The indoor unit must be installed on a firm, level surface. The surface must possess sufficient load- bearing capacity for the weight of the indoor unit. The height-adjustable feet can be used to level the indoor unit precisely.

A pressure loss of max. 80 kPa is made available by the customer. If the pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. REMKO KPS 300, must be used as a hydraulic compensator. Then a REMKO heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and two mixed heating cycle groups, type HGM, are available.
This can be incorporated as a serial buffer in the return flow or as a hydraulic compensator. The KPS series buffer tank can be supplied by REMKO for this.

NOTICE! Heat pump systems and components from REMKO must be filled and operated with deionised water (completely desalinated). We also recommend the use of the complete heating protection unit available from us. Full protection with glycol should be used in cooling systems. The system water should be tested each time the plant is serviced, but at least once a year.

The outdoor unit and the indoor unit are con- nected together by two copper lines (copper tubes in refrigerator quality) with dimensions of 3/8" = 9.5 mm and 5/8" = 15.88 mm (REMKO accessories). When bending the refrigerant piping, pay atten- tion to the bending radii to prevent bending of the tubes.
