▪ The  foundation  must  be  strong  enough  to  bear  the  weight  of  the

unit. Take the weight of the unit with a domestic hot water tank full
of water into account.
Make sure, in the event of a water leak, water cannot cause any
damage to the installation space and surroundings.

Do NOT install the unit in places such as:

▪ In  places  where  a  mineral  oil  mist,  spray  or  vapour  may  be

present  in  the  atmosphere.  Plastic  parts  may  deteriorate  and  fall
off or cause water leakage.

▪ Sound  sensitive  areas  (e.g.  near  a  bedroom),  so  that  the

operation noise will cause no trouble.

▪ In  places  with  high  humidity  (max.  RH=85%),  for  example  a

bathroom.

▪ In places where frost is possible. Ambient temperature around the

indoor unit must be >5°C.

NOTICE

When the temperature in multiple rooms is controlled by 1
thermostat,  do  NOT  place  a  thermostatic  valve  on  the
emitter in the room where the thermostat is installed.

Refrigerant piping requirements

INFORMATION

Also  read  the  precautions  and  requirements  in  the
"General safety precautions" chapter.

Piping material:

 Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.

Piping diameter:

Liquid piping

Ø6.4 mm (1/4")

Gas piping

Ø15.9 mm (5/8")

Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's
maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.

6.3.2

Refrigerant piping insulation

▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:

▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035

and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)

▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

If  the  temperature  is  higher  than  30°C  and  the  humidity  is  higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least  20  mm  to  prevent  condensation  on  the  surface  of  the
insulation.

6.4

Preparing water piping

6.4.1

Water circuit requirements

INFORMATION

Also  read  the  precautions  and  requirements  in  the
"General safety precautions" chapter.

NOTICE

In  case  of  plastic  pipes,  make  sure  they  are  fully  oxygen
diffusion  tight  according  to  DIN  4726.  The  diffusion  of
oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.

Connecting piping – Legislation.

 Make all piping connections in

accordance  with  the  applicable  legislation  and  the  instructions  in
the "Installation" chapter, respecting the water inlet and outlet.

Connecting  piping  –  Force.

  Do  NOT  use  excessive  force  when

connecting  the  piping.  Deformation  of  the  piping  can  cause
malfunctioning of the unit.

Connecting  piping  –  Tools.

  Only  use  appropriate  tooling  to

handle  brass,  which  is  a  soft  material.  If  NOT,  pipes  will  get
damaged.

Connecting piping – Air, moisture, dust.

 If air, moisture or dust

gets into the circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:

▪ Only use clean pipes

▪ Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.

▪ Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent

dust and/or particles entering the pipe.

▪ Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.

Closed  circuit.

  Use  the  indoor  unit  ONLY  in  a  closed  water

system.  Using  the  system  in  an  open  water  system  will  lead  to
excessive corrosion.

Glycol.

  For  safety  reasons,  it  is  NOT  allowed  to  add  any  kind  of

glycol to the water circuit.

Piping  length.

  It  is  recommended  to  avoid  long  runs  of  piping

between the domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point
(shower, bath,…) and to avoid dead ends.

Piping  diameter.

  Select  the  water  piping  diameter  in  relation  to

the required water flow and the available external static pressure
of the pump. See 

"14 Technical data" on page 73

 for the external

static pressure curves of the indoor unit.

Water  flow.

  You  can  find  the  minimum  required  water  flow  for

indoor  unit  operation  in  the  following  table.  In  all  cases,  this  flow
needs  to  be  guaranteed.  When  the  flow  is  lower,  the  indoor  unit
will stop operation and display error 7H.
