1 3 1 Brine circuit
There are three installation configurations according to
the type of Brine circuit chosen :
• Surface brine circuit :
These are polyethylene pipes buried horizontally
averaged depth of 1 meter They are in the form of loop,
with 40 cm between each tube
From the mixed antifreeze water flows through the
tubes, rises in temperature and back into the heat pump
The surface brine circuit should be 1 5 to 2 times the
heating surface area The minimum garden area
required is 200 m
2
• Boreholes :
These are polyethylene pipes in U-shape, buried 80 m
This configuration requires the intervention of a drilling
machine, which introduces the sensors, which are then
cast in concrete The operation is performed several
times, a few meters apart
Heat recovery is identical to the Surface brine
configuration. Water mixed with antifreeze flows through
the tubes, rises in temperature and back into the heat
pump
• Ground water :
The waters of ground water are usually at 10-14°C
temperature whatever the season This is an important
and stable source of energy that can be perfectly used
for heating via the heat pump
The collection of the ground water can be performed in
two ways :
-either by a single well, in this case, after passing
through the heat pump, the water is discharged into a
surface network, stream, pond, lake
-either by the principle of doublet, a drill for water
pumping, and a drill for feeding back the water in
original groundwater
"
Do not open the outdoor unit or the hydraulic unit while they are operating
"
Switch off the power supply if there are any abnormal noises, smells or smoke coming from the
appliance and contact your installer
"
Switch off the power to the appliance before you clean it.
"
Do not use aggressive cleaning liquid or solvents to clean the body work
"
Not place anything on the appliance
1 2 End of life of the device
Disassembly and recycling shall be handled by a qualified body.
Wild disposal and domestic garbage is stricly prohibited
At the end-of-life of the equipment, please contact your installer or any local representant to proceed to disassembly
and recycling
