Warnings Description Installation Maintenance Adjustable PRV’s are available. The additional PRV’s need to be fitted upstream of the inlet control group and in multiple occupancy sites may be fitted as a whole site solution. The expansion relief valve can be coupled with the TPRV discharge pipework prior to the tundish.

Warnings Description Installation Maintenance Mains Water Supply Existing properties with a 15mm supply will be satisfactory provided the local mains pressure is good, but should be confined to single bathroom properties. For new properties where simultaneous demand is required to more than one bathroom or a bathroom and one or more en-suites, the communication and service pipe into the dwelling should be a minimum of 22mm (usually in the form of a 25mm MDPE supply).

Discharges at a high level; e.g. into metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastic guttering systems that would collect such discharges.
Warnings Description Installation Maintenance Air connection The energy performance capability of the heat pump water heater is linked to the temperature of the intake air. The warmer the intake air, the better the COP (Coefficient of Performance). • In the case of ducting, 160 mm diameter insulated air ducts should be selected. The use of flexible ducts is by no means recommended.

Qualified personnel must complete the electrical connection with the power off.
Warnings Description Installation Maintenance 12.3. Connection to a photovoltatic station When combined with a photovoltaic system, the surplus energy produced by the photovoltaic system can be stored as hot water in the water heater practically free of charge. Once the photovoltaic sys- tem has enough energy, the installation’s inverter automatically sends a signal to the thermodynamic water heater that activates the forced operation of the heat pump (PV mode).
