Daikin Altherma Monobloc CA
4.6. Plate type heat exchanger
1.
Switch off the Daikin Altherma Monobloc CA via the user interface.
2.
Switch off the Daikin Altherma Monobloc CA with the field supplied circuit breaker.
3.
Remove the hydrobox front panel, refer to
"Removing the hydrobox front plate" on page 111
4.
Power the Daikin Altherma Monobloc CA and activate domestic hot water or space heating and wait 15 minutes.
5.
Activate “Installer level” on the user interface, refer to “Installer Level Settings” in the Installer Reference Guide to access the
most used commands.
6.
Check the saturated high pressure value and its corresponding temperature on the manifold and compare it with the
temperature displayed for R1T (Leaving water (PHE)) on the user interface (6.1.5).
7.
A temperature difference of 5 to 10°C is acceptable; if the temperature difference exceeds 10°C, the heat exchanger’s
efficiency is too low and could indicate partial blockage.
Check 1
1.
Check the water manometer; raised water pressure indicates a refrigerant leak in the plate type heat exchanger.
Check 2
1.
Visually check the plate type heat exchanger for water leakage.
2.
In case there is an indication of a possible leakage, perform a leak test.
Check 3
1.
Connect a manifold to the low and high pressure service ports.
Technical specification
Description
The plate type heat exchanger uses metal plates to transfer heat between two
fluids. This improves the heat exchange as the fluids are exposed to a much
larger surface compared to conventional heat exchangers. This facilitates the
transfer of heat, increasing the speed of the temperature change.
The plate type heat exchanger transfers the heat
from the refrigerant circuit to the water circuit.
