Split Air-to-Water Heat Pump – IDU Product Manual 7.5.5 Water circuit anti-freeze protection All internal hydronic parts are insulated to reduce heat loss. Insulation must also be added to the field piping. The software contains special functions using the heat pump to protect the entire system against freezing. When the temperature of the water flow in the system drops to a certain value, the unit will heat the water, either using the heat pump and/or the electric heating tape.
Split Air-to-Water Heat Pump – IDU Product Manual During filling, it might not be possible to remove all air in the system. Remaining air will be removed through the automatic bleed valve during the first operating hours of the system. Topping off the water afterwards might be required. The water pressure indicated on the pressure and temperature gage will vary depending on the water temperature (higher pressure at higher water temperature).
