STOP! Before continuing with the installation of your new Aerona Heat pump, please spend a few minutes confirming the suitability of the Heat Pump to your system. Failure to do so may result in poor performance and wasted time. Has a heat loss calculation been carried out?

R407C is a mixture of three refrigerants, each of which boil at different temperatures. R407C has a range or glide of approximately 5ºC. The lubricating oils used in this heat pump are known as Polyolester or POE oils. They are considered to be superior oils, less liable to breakdown however they are more hygroscopic –...

The BTC allows for 2 different design temperatures to be entered, maximising the efficiency of the Grant Aerona heat pump. The details of these settings can be found in Section 11 of this manual. All other controls (programmers,...
Always ensure at least 200mm vertical clearance between the surrounding ground level and the underside of the heat pump to allow for adequate air movement. Refer to Figure 3-1 for details. 100mm 200mm min above...

Figure 4-7: Monovalent system - with Buffer and S-Plan type controls 4.5 Buffers Tanks The use of a buffer with the current Aerona heat pump is not necessary in the majority of installations. However, it is possible to utilise a buffer if the end-user wishes to store hot water when there is no other demand placed on the system.

5 System Design Criteria Unlike a typical condensing oil or gas fired boiler that operates at a flow of 70˚C and a return of 50˚C, a heat pump operates with a flow of between 30˚C and 60˚C. The return temperature will depend on the load of the system at a given point in time.
82ºC flow and 71ºC return with the connections being flow at the top and return at the opposite bottom corner. Below is a typical radiator conversation factor table* and a worked example of sizing radiators for use with a heat pump ºC Correction Factor 0.050 0.123...
7 Sealed Systems The following components are required to use the Grant Aerona heat pump as part of a sealed heating system. Due to the lack of space these components are not located within the heat pump, but have to be fitted external to the unit.
8.1 General The Grant Aerona Heat Pump is very simple to install and to wire. The units are designed to meet the need for simplicity – both in installation and in servicing. As a result, the wiring involved is both minimal and simple compared to other heat pumps available.

8 Electrical Programmer Figure 8-2: S-Plan type system for connection to Aerona heat pump NOTE Note that both wires from Gr (grey) now terminate on their own at position 8. The wires from O (orange) from each valve now terminate on their own at positions 9 and 10.
Using the 5m of umbilical cable, connect the controller (right) to the heat pump (left). The controller fits all standard single patresses (surface and flush). Use one of the cable glands at the rear of the heat pump to protect this cable. To extend (if required) simply splice a new section into the middle, ensuring all connections are sound and water proof.
IMPORTANT Do not take the Neutral from the heat pump to feed the boiler circuit. This will create an imbalance at the MCB and cause nuisance tripping. Always take the neutral supply from the existing S-Plan wiring centre.
9.3 Temperature Boost It is possible to use the heat pump to raise the DHW temperature to 60ºC. During the summer, this may be preferable, when the external ambient air temperature is high.

Refer to Figures 9-1 and 9-2 for electrical connection details. With the cylinder thermostat set to 45°C, when the heat pump raises the DHW cylinder to this temperature, the cylinder thermostat switches to the ‘satisfied’ position. The resulting...
1. To vent the heat pump – All Grant Aerona heat pumps are fitted with a single automatic air vent on the top of the electric immersion element housing.
When putting the heat pump into use for the first time, watch the refrigerant pressure gauge on the side of the heat pump. The needle will rise over time when the temperature of the refrigerant increases. However, if this happens very quickly (e.g.
DHW temperatures, even if they each have different target temperatures. There are 3 main conditions the ATC can be set in: 1. OFF – no signal to the heat pump, irrespective of other heating controls. THE HEAT PUMP WILL NOT OPERATE IN THIS CONDITION.

6°C. 2. When ambient air temperature is less than 0°C AND the return water temperature is less than 5°C, the heat pump will start. The Heat pump will stop when return water temperature is above 8°C.
This provides a very efficient way to weather compensate the heating system which will add to the heat pump and the system efficiency. NOTE This increase in efficiency has NOT been taken into account in the COP’s...
