5. Adequate water flow. This manual provides the information needed to meet these requirements. Review all application and installation procedures completely before continuing the installation. Installation Location CAUTION! 1. DO NOT install the heat pump near to hazardous materials and places. 2.
Installation details All criteria given in the following sections reflect minimum clearances. However, each installation must also be evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local conditions such as proximity and height of walls, and proximity to public access areas. The heat pump must be placed to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.
For the units which installed at the rack on the outer wall, the rack should be fixed with wall-bolts. And the heat pump must be installed with shockproof bushes to prevent vibration and/or imbalance. Even though the controller is waterproof, care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature.
Figure 2 The heat pump must be protected from Reverse flow of water. If there is any chance provide a check valve between the water tank and the cold water inlet. Refrigerant Pipe Connections at the Heat Pump 1. Wrap up the thin and thick connecting pipes and a wire to length with insulated band. 2.
Each part connected to unit needs to be connected with method of loose joint and installed with intermediate valve. Ensure that all plumbing has been properly completed and then proceed to do a water leakage and pressure test. All the pipelines and pipe fittings must be insulated to prevent heat loss. Install a pressure release valve at the highest point of the system of heat preservation tank, and it is advised to be installed outside.
Power supply If the supply voltage is too low or too high, it can cause damage and/or result in unstable operation of the heat pump unit, due to high in rush currents on start up. The minimum starting voltage should be above 90% of rated voltage. The acceptable operating voltage range should be within ±10% of the rated voltage.
