Warranty and insurance information Thank you for installing a new CTC heat pump in your home. CTC heat pumps are manufactured in Sweden to the very highest standard so we are pleased to offer our customers a comprehensive guarantee. The product is guaranteed for 24 months for parts and labour from the date of installation or 33 months from the date of manufacture, whichever is the shorter.

Electrical Supply The heat pump must be permanently connected to a 230V AC 50Hz supply. All system components shall be of an approved type and all wiring to current I.E.E wiring regulations. External wiring must be correctly earthed, polarised and in accordance with the relevant standards: Currently this is BS 7671.
CTC CombiAir – An excellent choice CTC CombiAir is an air/water heat pump, specially designed for the Nor- dic climate, which uses the outdoor air as its energy source. The heat pump is intended for connection to water borne heating systems and can both heat hot water effectively at high outdoor temperatures and give a high output to the heating system at low outdoor temperatures.

An air/water heat pump can use the outdoor air to heat up a home. The conversion of the outdoor air’s energy to residential heating occurs in three different circuits. In the brine circuit, (1) , free heat energy is retrieved from the surroundings and transported to the heat pump.
Control of CTC CombiAir CTC CombiAir is controlled in different ways depending on your system. You control the heat pump via your indoor module (CTC EcoZenith i360 H/L ) or control module (CTC EcoLogic M, L). See the relevant manual for more information.
Maintenance of CTC CombiAir Regular checks When your heat pump is located outdoors some external maintenance is required. NOTE Insufficient maintenance can cause serious damage to CTC CombiAir , which is not covered by the guarantee. Checking grilles and bottom panel Check that the inlet grille is not clogged by leaves, snow or anything else regularly throughout the year.

Keep free of snow and/or ice. Cleaning the outer casing If necessary the outer casing can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not scratched when cleaning. Avoid spraying water into the grilles or the sides so that water penetrates into CTC CombiAir .

Open the thermostat valves completely (except in the rooms that are to be kept cooler for various reasons, e.g. bedrooms). The thermostats slow the flow in the heating system, which the heat pump wants to com- pensate with increased temperatures. It then works harder and consumes more electrical energy.

New builds Newly built houses undergo a drying out process for a year. The house can then consume significantly more energy than it would thereafter. After 1-2 years the heating curve should be adjusted again, as well as the offset heating curve and the building's thermostat valves, because the heating system, as a rule, requires a lower temperature once the drying process is complete.
3 Disturbances in comfort Troubleshooting NOTE Work behind covers secured by screws may only be carried out by, or under the supervision of, a qualified installation engineer. Basic actions Make sure that the air flow to CTC CombiAir is not blocked by foreign objects.
5 Glossary Additional heat The additional heat is the heat produced in addition to the heat supplied by the compressor in your heat pump. Additional heaters can be for ex- ample, immersion heater, electric heater, solar power system, gas/oil/pellet/wood burner or district heating. Ambient temperature sensor A sensor that is located outdoors on or close to the heat pump.

Condenser Heat exchanger where the hot gas state refrigerant condenses (cooled and becomes a liquid) and releases heat energy to the house heating and hot water systems. If a heat pump has COP of 5, this means that you only pay for a fifth of your heating demand.
Page 24
Evaporator Heat exchanger where the refrigerant evaporates by retrieving heat energy from the air which then cools. Expansion valve Valve that reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, whereupon the temper- ature of the refrigerant drops. Expansion vessel Vessel with heating medium fluid with the task of equalising the pressure in the heating medium system.

Radiator Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order to be used with CTC CombiAir . Refrigerant Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evap- oration, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and when condensing gives off heating energy.
