  • Page 7: Positioning Equipment

    1.1 Positioning Equipment Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment. NOTICE Do not install equipment inside of a building. Outdoor Use Only Do not install equipment inside of a room or building. Heat Pumps require unobstructed air flow for proper operation. Heat Pumps should never be installed indoors or in a location where air flow is restricted.

  • Page 8: Clearances

    1.2 Clearances Proper air circulation is required for the heat pump to operate efficiently. The following diagrams show the minimum clearances required for the proper operation of the heat pump. Avoid storing chemical containers near the heat pump. The chemicals can cause equipment damage. Avoid placing objects near or on top of the heat pump.

  • Page 15 Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump. The maximum static pressure (or operating pressure) is 50 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI). These specifications relate to the heat pump only.

  • Page 16: Adjusting Water Flow Using Δt (Delta-T)

    1.4.f Adjusting Water Flow Using ΔT (Delta-T) The Delta-T is the temperature difference between the water temperatures entering and leaving the heat pump. The equipment can be fine-tuned for maximum performance by balancing water flow rates to maintain an ideal ∆T. The adjustment procedure must be completed with the unit in heating mode and solar system set to OFF.
