DHW Kit 2.4 Storing Copper Piping 2.4.1 Pipe delivery, storage and sealing Notes for installers Ensure that piping does not get bent or deformed during delivery or whilst stored. On construction sites store piping in a designated location. ...
Page 19
DHW Kit 2.5.3 Expanding copper piping ends Notes for installers Ends of copper piping can be expanded so that another length of piping can be inserted and the joint brazed. Insert the expanding head of the pipe expander into the pipe. After completing pipe expansion, rotate the copper pipe a few degrees to rectify the straight line mark left by the expanding head.
Page 20
DHW Kit 2.5.5 Bending piping Bending copper piping reduces the number of brazed joints required and can improve quality and save material. Notes for installers Piping bending methods Hand bending is suitable for thin copper piping (Ф6. 35mm - Ф12. 7mm). Mechanical bending (using a bending spring, manual bending machine or powered bending machine) is suitable for a wide range of diameters (Ф6. 35mm - Ф54.0mm).
Page 21
DHW Kit 2.7 Brazing Care must be taken to prevent oxide forming on the inside of copper piping during brazing. The presence of oxide in a refrigerant system adversely affects the operation of valves and compressors, potentially leading to low efficiency or even compressor failure.
Page 22
DHW Kit ...box continued from previous page Piping orientation during brazing Brazing should be conducted downwards or horizontally to avoid filler leakage. Figure 3-3.7: Piping orientation during brazing Brazing Brazing Brazing Piping overlap during brazing Table 3-3.5 specifies the minimum permissible piping overlap and the range of permissible gap sizes for brazed joints on piping of different diameters.
Page 23
DHW Kit 2.8 Pipe Flushing 2.8.1 Purpose To remove dust, other particles and moisture, which could cause compressor malfunction if not flushed out before the system is run, the refrigerant piping should be flushed using nitrogen. As described in Part 3, 2.3.1 “Installation procedure”, pipe flushing should be performed once the piping connections have been completed with the exception of the final connections to the Hydraulic Module.
Page 24
DHW Kit 2.9 Gastightness Test 2.9.1 Purpose To prevent faults caused by refrigerant leakage, a gastightness test should be performed before system commissioning. 2.9.2 Procedure Notes for installers Warning Only dry nitrogen should be used for gastightness testing. Oxygen, air, flammable gases and toxic gases must not be used for gastightness testing.
DHW Kit 2.9.3 Leak detection Notes for installers The general methods for identifying the source of a leak are as follows: 1. Audio detection: relatively large leaks are audible. 2. Touch detection: place your hand at joints to feel for escaping gas. 3.

DHW Kit 2.10.2 Procedure Notes for installers During vacuum drying, a vacuum pump is used to lower the pressure in the piping to the extent that any moisture present evaporates. At 5mmHg (755mmHg below typical atmospheric pressure) the boiling point of water is 0°C. Therefore a vacuum pump capable of maintaining a pressure of -755mmHg or lower should be used.
DHW Kit 2.11 Charging Refrigerant 2.11.1 Calculating additional refrigerant charge The additional refrigerant charge required depends on the lengths and diameters of the outdoor and indoor liquid pipes, and the indoor unit capacity of the connection. Table 3-7.1 shows the additional refrigerant charge required per meter of equivalent pipe length for different diameters of pipe.
Page 28
DHW Kit Step 4 • Open the three valves on the pressure gauge to begin charging refrigerant. • When the amount charged reaches R (kg), close the three valves. If the amount charged has not reached R (kg) but no additional refrigerant can be charged, close the three valves on the pressure gauge, run the outdoor unit in cooling mode, and then open the yellow and blue valves.
DHW Kit 3 Electrical Wiring 3.1 General Notes for installers Caution All installation and wiring must be carried out by competent and suitably qualified, certified and accredited professionals and in accordance with all applicable legislation. Electrical systems should be grounded in accordance with all applicable legislation. ...
DHW Kit 3.4 Wiring Overview 3.4.1 Outdoor unit and indoor units’ P Q E communication Communication wiring design and installation should adhere to the following requirements: 0.75mm three-core shielded cable should be used for communication wiring. Using other types of cable can lead to interference and malfunction.

DHW Kit 2 Smart Grid Comply with Australian Smart Grid access specification (AS 4755.3.1-2008), and can accept DRED (Demand Response Enabling Device) standard control signals DRM1 ~ DRM4. Meet the demand of power grid load balancing and enjoy more favorable electricity price or subsidy. When the Smart Grid function is activated, heat pump will carry out electric heater control and adjust T5stop according to different DRM signals.
DHW Kit 3 Solar Energy Solar energy signal which is provided from electric grid or other controller is used to control the ON/OFF or Plus Operation of the unit. Hot water can be produced with solar electric energy as much as possible in order to save running cost. ON/OFF control.
DHW Kit 4 Hybrid When heat pump is under the low efficiency operation range, wired controller will remind user to turn on additional heating source in order to satisfy the heating demand. Heat pump standby T5s≥38°C, T5L<Min(T5s,T5stopg) – Trdh T5s<38°C 时 ,T5L<Min(T5s,T5stopg) - Min(Trdh,2) Heat pump turns on T5s≥38°C 时...
DHW Kit 5 OPT.Backup Off-Peak (Off-Peak signal receiving port) OPT. Backup function is an application of valley electricity utilize. It detects Off-peak signal which means electric price is at low price. When Off-peak signal is ON, water will be heated by heat pump preferentially. OPT.Backup function can works with timer function: If timer function is not active, heat pump operates when Off-Peak signal is ON.
