4.5 Mechanical Installation
4.5.1 Locating the heat pump
Decide on a suitable location for the Heat Pump. This should be in a plant room which isolates any
occupied spaces from the noise and vibration of the heat pumps. It should not be placed near, under, or
above, any inhabited space. Take into account the "Recommended Clearances" when finalising the
location and future requirements for access and removal. It is important that anti-vibration mountings or
"bellows" are used.
Check the appliance for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be
operated or installed without prior agreement.
If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced.Position the appliance on a firm, level and substantial
concrete base that will absorb vibration well away from any occupied rooms
Ensure all pipes and wires are adequately supported where necessary, pipes are properly insulated and
concentrations of inhibitor/antifreeze (where added) are correct. Connections should be vibration isolated
by the use of bellows and have appropriate air vents and isolation valves. The appliance and any metal
pipes should also be properly earthed.
A water treatment device should be provided in hard water areas.
Do not use the appliance as a shelf.
4.5.2 Recommend clearances
Remember to consider any
future maintenance or removal
requirements as a return to
base might be required if an on
-site repair is not feasible.
Refer to section 3.2 technical
details for dimensions of each
different unit
If multiple units are used then
these should have a clearance
of
approximately
between them to enable access
to the 3mm allen screws
securing the hood to the frame.
