  • Page 10: Installation

    Installation Heat Pump Installation This heat pump requires good air flow through the fin coils for maximum efficiency. Also, hotter outside air temperature in cooling mode and colder outside air temperature in heating mode will reduce performance of the heat pump. Therefore, the hot/cold discharged air in cooling/heating modes from the heat pump should not be allowed to deflect back to the air inlet.

    Accessing Additional Heat Pump Parts In addition to the heat pump, you will get 4 rubber anti-vibration pads for the unit to sit on as well as 2 brass thread adapters to convert the threads the NPT. There will also be spare screws for holding the body panels in place. Remove the main door located next to the fans (see below) and the parts will be located inside the unit next to the compressor.

    Installation of Indoor Heating and Cooling Equipment • Indoor heating and cooling equipment such as fan coils, radiator heating or floor heating, should be installed in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements, engineering design drawings, and the manufacturer's installation instructions. • Use flexible piping to connect the heat pump and indoor heating and cooling equipment, such as PEX or flexible stainless steel or flexible cooper.
  • Page 15: Installation Of The Temperature Sensor

    Installation of the Temperature Sensor Firstly, place a small amount of heat conductive silicone onto the front of the temperature sensor, then insert it into the temperature thermowell port. Next, push the temperature sensor through to the end of the thermowell, then mark the depth of the pin on the sensor wire.
  • Page 16: Electrical Wire Selection - Warning

    Electrical Wire Selection – Warning • The internal compressor motor insulation does not protect the compressor against all possible conditions. Please be sure that the system is properly grounded when installed in the field. • To avoid fire, electric shock, and other accidents, only use the power supply voltage indicated on the label.

  • Page 19: Start Up

    Start Up Pre-start-up checks: • Check the entire pipe system. Ensure the system is full and any air is completely removed. Check whether the valves are open throughout the system. • Check the thermal insulation of the pipe works, make sure relevant pipes are appropriately insulated (hot and cold).
  • Page 20: Single Tank Versus Dual Tank

    Single Tank versus Dual Tank Single tank and dual tank optional layouts are generally decided based on the need for hot water. If you require domestic hot water, then you would use an AltSource boiler tank with a 200-foot internal copper heat exchanger for the domestic hot water. In this layout you will have a separate tank for cold water allowing you to do both heating (hot water) and cooling at the same time.

  • Page 37: Intelligent Defrost

    Intelligent Defrost By default, the arctic heat pump is designed to defrost itself as needed. The algorithm is factory supplied based on optimized performance parameters for cold climate. These are based on coil temperature differentials and compressor time run. When a unit enters defrost it will go through various stages including a reverse from heating to cooling, removing some heat from the buffer tank.
  • Page 38: Back Up Heater

    Back Up Heater Arctic Heat Pumps are designed to work with Thermo2000 Boilers but can be used with other manufactures. If you are using the AltSouce buffer/boiler tank, then you can simply connect the contacts (1 & 2 terminals) on the Heat Pump to the Y and W terminals on the AltSource tank. If you are using a Mini ULTRA or BTH ULTRA boiler you will do the same but also you need to connect the supply pump to the Pump terminals on the external boiler.
  • Page 39: External Boiler Integration

    The Thermo2000 Mini or BTH ULTRA boilers are the most cost effective and reliable external backup systems and pair well with all the Arctic Heat Pumps. These Boilers can be configured with 3 Kw to 36 Kw back up electric power sources.
  • Page 41: Hbx Advanced Back Up Eco-0600

    HBX Advanced Back Up ECO-0600 For More back up control we recommend upgrading to a HBX ECO-0600 controller. With this controller users can better control the backup heater of the Arctic Heat Pump based on time delay between stages, outdoor temperature, or differential between setting temp and actual temp.
  • Page 42 To program the Back Up for the heat pump, refer to the ECO-0600 manual to access the advance programming. Select item #3 and select one or all the optional backups available below.
  • Page 43: Domestic Hot Water

    Domestic Hot Water The AltSource tank is equipped with an optional internal Heat Exchanger (HX) for domestic hot water production. This consists of 200 feet of 1/2” copper piping. Based on 120°F water tank temperatures this 200 ft of ½” OD cooper pipe, 26.2 sq/ft surface area and has a volume of 1.5 total gallons. Based on 50°F entering water temp with a tank temp of 120°F the internal HX has a performance variable based on flow rate.
  • Page 45: 3-Way Valves

    3-Way Valves The Arctic Heat Pump has a built in 3-Way switching valve that is powered by 240 VAC – only 240 VAC Normally Open switches should be used. We recommend Belimo or Caleffi 3-way valves with 1” NPT. These valves also come with an internal dry contact switch that is used in most of our cooling layouts to activate an auxiliary source such as a circulation pump.
  • Page 46: Multiple Heat Pumps

    Multiple Heat Pumps Larger power requirements can be accommodated adding multiple heat pumps in parallel. When adding multiple units, pipe sizing should be increased at the common home run pipe to accommodate the added flow of more than one pump. For example, if there are three units with 1” piping each. After the header, the piping to the tank should be 1 ¼”-1 ½”...
  • Page 47 To program multiple heat pumps, refer to the ECO-0600 manual to access the advance programming. Select item #1 and select the options below to sequence the back up. Note: if using 4 heat pumps terminals 9 & 10 (AUX 1) can be used for backup.

    Flow Valves- It is recommended when running units in parallel that you properly balance the flow so that it is equal in each loop. Remember flow will always take the path of least resistance! You can purchase a Quick Setter Flow meter to balance each loop (see below).
  • Page 50: Heating And Cooling - Advanced

    Heating and Cooling – Advanced In the basic heating and cooling set up, the target temp for both heating and cooling is set by the customer and the heat pump turns on/off to maintain this temp. This works well but does not utilize the full potential of the heat pump.
  • Page 51: Eco-0600 Heating Cooling Reset

    ECO-0600 Heating Cooling Reset To use the advance heating and cooling feature of the ECO-0600 you must connect the CN31 terminal to terminals 13 & 14 on the ECO-0600 using #18 gauge 2-wire and the supplied optional terminal pig tail (NOTE by default there is no wire plugged into CN31).
  • Page 52 To program heating and cooling reset, refer to the ECO-0600 manual to access the advance programming.
  • Page 53: Warranty

    This warranty is non-transferable and only exist to the original owner of the Arctic Heat Pump. Customers assume responsibility for subsequent damage that may occur as a result of a warranty failure.
