Installation Location - Sanden GAUS-315EQTD Installation Manual

Installation location


For the most efficient operation of the heat pump unit the optimum location is the
warmest side of the property and there should be sufficient space for the air to circulate
through the unit.

The tank unit should be located as close as possible to the most frequently used hot
water outlet such as a bathroom. It may be located either outside or inside. The heat
pump unit must be located outside and as close as practicable to the tank unit but not
further than 50ft (15m) away from the tank.

Ensure sufficient clearance around the heat pump unit to allow air to circulate and
provide adequate space for service maintenance of the unit (Figure 3).

Although the heat pump unit is very quiet, it is preferable to avoid installing it directly
below a bedroom window.

Install the heat pump unit in an area which allows sufficient ventilation. Poor ventilation
may cause the unit to short cycle and this could increase power consumption by more
than 10%.

Do not install the heat pump unit in a confined space.

If the heat pump unit is installed facing a wall, exhaust air may stain the wall.


Unit should have a minimum of 36" or 1000mm space above the unit to ensure correct operation

Discharge Air blowing against a wall/obstacle in front of the unit may stain the wall/obstacle

If the unit is not able to operate with adequate airflow due to obstacles and reduced clearances, then
heating output will be reduced by approx. 10% and power consumption increased by approx.10%

For optimum operation install the unit per the above or in a location with no obstacles
