1 - GENERAL INFORMATION The language of the original operating manual is German. This manual in any other language is a translation of the original operating manual. Close observation of this document is a prerequisite for the intended use and correct operation of the product. The operating manual corresponds to the product version and the safety regulations and standards applicable at the time of printing. A copy of the EC declaration of conformity is part of this operating manual. Any modification of the machine not authorised by the manufacturer (CARRIER) or non-compliance with the product or personnel safety instructions in the operating manual will invalidate this declaration. BEFORE INSTALLING AND COMMISSIONING THE HEAT PUMP, READ THIS OPERATING MANUAL IN FULL.
In particular, failure to observe such information can result in the safety declarations. Modifications to the product are only following risks: permissible following consultation with the manufacturer.

3 - DESCRIPTION 3.1 - Function Heat pumps of types 61CW-Z are compact units for indoor installation. Heat is drawn from a water or brine circuit at 8 to 20°C (e.g. process coolant, return coolant, etc.). The heat pumps can be used to provide heating and process heat up to 92 °C. 3.2 - Layout of appliance types 61CW-Z Fig. 1: Basic principle of a heat pump Increased heat transfer through higher mass flow rate. ECO-HX 3.2.1 - Thermodynamic circuit 3.2.3 - Frame This consists of: The heat pump components are mounted on a solid frame, partly self-supporting on the shell and tube heat exchangers. Shell and tube heat exchanger as evaporator, compressor, shell and tube heat exchanger as condenser, plate heat exchanger as 3.2.4 - Sound insulating enclosure oil cooler, plate heat exchanger as economiser, oil separator, oil ...
The lines are intended only for conveying the refrigerant within the heat pump. 3.3.2 - Operating media The pipelines listed under 3.4.1.1 are filled with the fluid indicated on the respective type plate and must only be filled with this fluid. Use of any other substance immediately voids the CARRIER warranty and any claims for damage. 3.3.3 - Application range The required ambient conditions are described in section 4.3 (installation location). ...

If using water, we further recommend the use of can be flushed if necessary. a large area filter with a gauge of 500 µm (0.5 mm). Use only the antifreeze listed in Table 1. For the highest permissible Before installing a system, carry out a water analysis. concentration of this antifreeze, see also Table 1. Note that the antifreeze concentrations also affect the heat pump performance. The water for analysis should be sampled just before the end of The antifreeze must not be mixed with corrosive raw water (pH continuous pumping operation and analysed immediately. value below 7.0), distilled water or rain water.

DANGER! Connection work which requires electrical distributors to be opened must be carried out by authorised electricians, since there is a risk to life when working on live components. Observe the accident prevention regulations. CAUTION! Only CARRIER customer service may start the heat pump for the first time.
■ In order to activate the oil heating, the following must be implemented 24 h before CARRIER customer service Only CARRIER customer service may start the heat pump arrives: connect the 230 V control voltage to the heat pump, for the first time. The system operator/customer may only...
