A facsimile of the label is shown below: Manufacturer: FO337725 The MXL Centre, 7 Lombard Way...
2. SAFETY 2.1 Warning re potentially hazardous toxic substances 2.1.1 Identification of the Type of Refrigerant Fluid Used: R410A • Difluoromethane (HFC-32) 50% by weight CAS No.: 000075-10-5 • Pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) 50% by weight CAS No.: 000354-33-6 2.1.2 Identification of the Type of Oil Used. The lubricant used is polyester oil.
2.3 Prevent inhalation of high vapor concentration Atmospheric concentrations of refrigerant must be minimized and kept to a level that is below the occupational exposure limit. Vapor is heavier than air and can form dangerous concentrations near the ground where the ventilation rate is lower. Always ensure adequate venti- lation.
3. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 3.1 Unit description The LZT series of high efficiency heat pumps has been specifically designed for use with radiant floor heating systems or those applications where it is necessary to have maximum efficiency when heating. They have been optimized on heating mode, are able to produce water up to 65°C and can operate down to -20°C ambient temperature. All versions are supplied with reverse cycle valve used for winter defrost;...
If required (available as an option), the microprocessor can be configured in order for it to connect to a site BMS system thus enabling remote control and management. The Lochinvar technical department can discuss and evaluate, in conjunction with the customer, solutions using MODBUS protocols.
water. The controller has dual heating set points (heating and DHW) and can also control a three port diverting valve that directs the DHW to the cylinder. DHW production has priority irrespective of the mode of operation of the unit. The unit is normally used with two pipe water based change-over systems.
3.4 What is the E.V.I. technology (enhanced vapour injection) EVI stands for “Economised Vapour Injection.” The technology involves injecting refrigerant vapour into the middle of the compression process, a procedure that significantly boosts capacity and efficiency. Each scroll compressor used in these units is similar to a two-stage compressor with built-in inter-stage cooling.
3.6 Operation limits (HA/HE versions) Heating mode Heating mode with head pressure control (DCCF) Ambient temperature (°C) 3.6.1 User heat exchanger water flow rate The nominal water flow rate given is referred to a ∆t of 5 °C. Maximum flow rate allowed is the one that presents a ∆t of 3°C: higher values may cause too high pressure drop.
If the unit is installed in particularly windy areas, it will be necessary to provide some windbreaker barriers to avoid any malfunction. We suggest to install the barriers only if the wind exceeds 2,5m/s. The units, in their standard configuration, are not suitable for installation in saline environments. In WINTER mode, the unit can be started with external air of -20°C and cold inlet water (about 20°C).
4. INSTALLATION 4.1 General safety guidelines and and use of symbols Before undertaking any task the operator must be fully trained in the operation of the machines to be used and their controls. They must also have read and be fully conversant with all operating instructions. All maintenance must be performed by TRAINED personnel and be in accordance with all national and local regu- lations.
After receiving the unit, immediately check its integrity. The unit left the factory in perfect conditions; any eventual damage must be questioned to the carrier and recorded on the Delivery Note before it is signed. Lochinvar must be informed within 24 hours of delivery of any damage along with pictures so this damage can be assessed.
4.7 Lifting and handling When unloading the unit, it is strongly recommended that sudden movements are avoided in order to protect the refrigerant circuit, copper tubes or any other unit component. Units can be lifted by using a forklift or, alternatively, using belts. Take care that the method of lifting does not damage the side panels or the cover.
4.9 Installation of rubber vibration dampers (KAVG) All units should be installed on vibration dampers in order to prevent the transmission of vibration to the supporting surface and reduce the noise level. Rubber vibration dampers are available as an option in the catalogue. The vibration dampers (optional) are supplied by the factory in separate packaging.
4.11 Installation of condensate drip tray (BRCA) In heating and domestic hot water mode, the unit can produce a quantity of condensate, depending upon the am- bient conditions and the working hours. This condensate may freeze in severe ambient conditions. The unit must therefore be installed in such a way as to prevent a slipping hazard to the user or third parties due to the presence of ice around the heat pump.
4.12 Hydraulic connections The water pipe-work must be installed in accordance with national and local regulation and can be made from copper, steel, galvanized steel or PVC. The Pipework must be designed to cater for the nominal water flow and the hydraulic pressure drops of the system, a maxi- mum pressure drop of 300 Pa/m run being typical.
4.14 Hydraulic components 4.14.1 P2S Versions P2U Versions User Circuit The water pump must be installed with the supply side toward the water inlet connection of the unit. 4.14.2 P2S Versions + A1NTU P2U Versions + A1NTU User Circuit Rev. A 11-2020...
4.15 User circuit minimum water content Heat pump units need a minimum water content inside the user circuit in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the unit. A correct water content reduces the n° of starts-and-stops of the compressors and this extends the operating life of the unit and allows a reduced reduction of the hot water temperature during the defrosting cycle.
