increases by a few degrees. The brine is then pumped into a heat exchanger inside the heat pump: the evaporator. In the evaporator, thermal energy is transferred from the brine to low-pressure refrigerant, evaporating the refrigerant. In vertical systems, a deep well is bored into the bedrock. In horizontal systems, an extensive coil of plastic pipe (PEM 40/10) is buried to a depth of 1–1.2 meters or more or submerged in a body of water (minimum depth: 3 meters).

ÄssäSolar solar collector ÄssäSolar is a solar collector that can be connected to almost any E series ground source heat pump. Solar heating is an environmentally friendly supplementary energy source for space heating and domestic hot water heating. ÄssäSolar utilizes energy extracted from solar radiation, resulting in more economical and environmentally friendly energy production.
2 Installation 2.1 Before installation The manufacturer shall not be liable for any defects in the equipment resulting from improper installation or any costs arising thereof. Any pipe installation associated with the heat pump may be performed by qualified and trained personnel only. Check the following before installation: 1.
The unit’s installation site should have a floor drain. The site’s floor should be inclined so that any runoff from the unit leads towards the drain.

2.7.5 Load guard When the heat pump has been set up for parallel use with an electric immersion heater, the property’s distribution board needs to be equipped with priority relays. The purpose of these relays is to step down the output of the heat pump’s electric immersion heater when the alternating current drawn through the property’s main fuses is close to the fuses’...
2.7.6 Electrical installation checklist Check the following: 1. The control cabinet’s supply input connection has the correct phase sequence. 2. The main fuse has a sufficient rating. 3. The ground source heat pump’s fuses have the correct rating and are of the right type (slow-blow, C curve).
3 Commissioning 3.1 Preparations If the storage tank is not preheated before commissioning, the compressor will become damaged. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any such damage. Before commissioning, preheat the storage tank. 1. Ensure that the storage tank has been filled with water. 2.

4 Operation 4.1 The ÄssäControl system ÄssäControl display ver. 1 ÄssäControl is a logic-based control system that takes both the outdoor temperature as well as ambient indoor conditions into consideration. The system’s controller regulates the heating system’s flow temperature based on the outdoor temperature using a heating curve consisting of seven points.
● To toggle between the two pages, tap on the arrow button in the bottom right corner. ● To access a quick function, tap on the function’s button. ● To change the date and time displayed in the top section of the screen, tap and hold the date or time.
Both the original heating curve and the adjusted curve will be displayed in the Heating curves view. To return room temperature to its original level, set the value to 0 °C. 4.4.2 Room temperature change with room temperature measurement active If an optional room temperature sensor has been installed and activated, the current room temperature and the target value for room temperature will be displayed in the Room temperature change view.
Hot water intensification ver. 1 1. Select how long domestic hot water production will be boosted using the plus and minus buttons (optional). 2. Activate the boost function by pressing the MAX button. 3. When increased hot water production is no longer needed, press the ECO button. This step is not necessary, if the timer function in the first step is used.
At home and away settings ver. 1 2. In the Room temperature change field, enter the amount with which the temperature will be changed. The adjustment range for the temperature values in this view is –10...+10 °C. A typical value for each is –5 °C. 3.
Heating circuit timer ver. 1 Finally, the Timer view appears. Timer view ver. 1 2. To schedule a temperature change for a weekday, specify a start time and end time for the change as well as the amount with which the temperature will be changed (in °C).
The left column shows the current measured values, and the right column the corresponding settings. Resistor runtimes are run times for the electric immersion heater’s different power stages. Use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen to navigate between the different pages in the view.
Heating curve ver. 1 The setpoint values correspond to heating water temperatures and can be changed by the user. Adjusted values are displayed, if the heating water temperature is being adjusted by a function in the system, such as the Home and Away function or a timer. Factory defaults are suitable for use with floor heating.
Page 37
Boiler settings ver. 1 There are separate setpoints for the upper and lower section of the storage tank. The first column in the view shows the setpoint values. The second column shows temperature values that have been adjusted by a function in the system, such as the Home and Away function.
Limiting domestic hot water temperature In the winter season, the temperature in the lower section of the storage tank is determined by the flow temperature (flow to heating circuits). As outdoor and indoor temperatures are lower, the compressor may run for long periods of time. Consequently, the water in the upper section of the tank can become scalding hot.

4.7.1 Free cooling An independently operating cooling system can be connected to the heat pump’s brine circuit. A circulation pump draws cool brine from the brine circuit and pumps it through a cooling circuit. As the brine passes through the circuit, heat is extracted from indoor air. After the cooling circuit, the brine is fed back into the brine circuit.
Manual control Cooling - Manual ver. 1 In normal operation, the system will keep the temperature in the brine used for cooling one degree above the dew point. The purpose of this function is to prevent condensate from accumulating in any cooling units connected. ●...

Passive cooling The cooling circuit is cooled down by transferring thermal energy to the brine circuit (see section Free cooling). If the cooling circuit temperature does not fall down to its setpoint within a predetermined period (Delay), the system switches over to Active cooling.
5 Maintenance 5.1 Maintenance and care Oilon and Lämpöässä heat pumps are highly reliable and easy to maintain. If the system has been installed with care and in accordance with the instructions provided, there is usually no need for maintenance.

Problem Cause Solution The mains power connection has Contact an electrician. an incorrect phase sequence. The compressor does not start, The mains power connection has and the display reads “Incorrect Contact an electrician. an incorrect phase sequence. phase sequence”. Test the brine circuit pump by The low pressure switch has running it manually from the tripped.
Problem Cause Solution In summer, the flow temperature No action required. sensor reading is higher than the value provided by the heating curve. This is caused by a temperature increase in the heating circuit. The demand for heating is high No action required.

6 Technical data 6.1 Technical data The performance between different units may vary. This variation is due to a wide number of factors, such as the properties of the fluids used in the circuits, fouling of the heat transfer surfaces in the condenser and evaporator circuit, flow rates, individual differences between compressors (standard EN 12900) as well as refrigerant circuit charge and adjustments made to the refrigerant circuit during installation.
