Cool Energy inverTech Manual v6.6 2020 ©
Note:
For detailed specifications of the units please refer to name plate on the units.
Correct installation is required to ensure safe operation. The requirements for Cool Energy heat pumps include the
following:
1.
Appropriate site location and clearances.
2.
Wiring to conform to 18
th
edition wiring regulations.
3.
Adequate water flow. (See Page 31.)
This manual provides the information needed to meet these requirements. Review all application and installation
procedures completely before continuing the installation.
Installation of Outdoor Unit
The heat pump should be installed on a solid level base that can take the weight, preferably a concrete foundation.
If concrete slabs are used, they must rest on asphalt or shingle.
The heat pump should not be positioned next to sensitive walls, for example, next to a bedroom. Also ensure that
the placement does not inconvenience the neighbours. The heat pumps must not be placed so that recirculation of
the outdoor air can occur; this causes lower output and impaired efficiency.
Large amounts of condensation water as well as melted waters from defrosting can be produced. Condensation
water must be led off to a drain, soakaway or similar.
The outdoor unit should be installed in a ventilated place, with enough space for air inlet and outlet, while without
thermal radiation or other heat source. The air outlet should not be against the wind.
Generally, horizontal air flow type heat pump does not generally need sheltering. The structure design has protected
all internal components against rain and sunshine. A shelter is necessary to avoid snow burying
the heat pump in heavy snow areas.
Please make sure the standardized voltage 220V-240V is available to the heat pump, otherwise
the performance would be influenced and could affect your warranty.
The foundation of the heat pump can be a cement or steel structure. Anti-vibration rubber feet
and a flat foundation are generally required. The foundation structure can be flexibly designed
according to the working weight of the heat pump. (Please see the technical data in this
manual.)
Water drainage should be available near the installation location for draining water in an
effective way. Do not install the heat pump in a place where there is polluting or corrosive
materials like oil, flammable and explosive gas and sulphide ect. Keep it far away from sands,
falling leaves and area with high-frequency equipment.
Installation on a balcony or on a roof-top must be in accordance with the allowable stress of the
building structure.
