4 Decommissioning
4.1 Temporary shutdown
If the DAIKIN EKHHP is not needed for a long time, it can be tem-
porarily decommissioned.
However, DAIKIN recommends not disconnecting the system
from the power supply, but just switching it off (actuate
button
).
The system is then protected from frost.
If it is not possible to guarantee the power supply when there is
danger of frost,
– completely discharge the DAIKIN EKHHP on the water side.
4.1.1 Draining the storage tank
● Disconnect the DAIKIN EKHHP from the power supply.
● Remove connection piece (fig. 4-1, item C) from safety
overflow (fig. 4-1, item B).
● Connect the drain hose to the hose connection piece (item C)
and to a waste water drainage point which is at least at
ground level.
● Place a suitable collection trough beneath the filling and
emptying fitting.
● Unscrew the threaded piece (fig. 4-3, item E) at the filling and
draining connection, and remove the plug (fig. 4-3, item F)
and immediately screw in
the pre-assembled hose
connector (fig. 4-1, item C)
into the filling and draining
connection (fig. 4-3) again.
WARNING!
Danger of scalding and flooding
when opening the
solar return flow coupling or hot water connections due
to escaping hot water.
● Draining the storage tank only
– after it has cooled down for a long enough
period,
– with a suitable device for the safe draining or
catching of escaping water,
– wearing appropriate protective clothing.
CAUTION!
A shut down Hot water heat pump can freeze in the
event of frost and may suffer damage.
● Drain the water out of the shut down Hot water
heat pump if there is a risk of frost.
● If the Hot water heat pump is not drained and there
is a risk of frost, the power supply must be secured
and the external main switch must remain switched
on.
If there is a danger of frost and the power supply cannot
be guaranteed for just a few days, the unit's excellent
heat insulation means that the DAIKIN EKHHP does
not have to be drained, provided that the storage tank
temperature is monitored regularly and does not fall
below +3°C.
However, this does not provide frost protection for the
connected heat distribution system.
As an alternative, you can use the optional
KFE fill-
ing connection (KFE BA)
.
