Remedy

6. Leak at soldered joints.

Locate the leak.

Drain the system of fluid, repair the leak.If

the leak is on the connection pipe to the

heat exchanger, also drain the refrigerant

side.

7. Associated leakage in the

condenser.

Check for lack of refrigerant in the unit.

Check by smelling at the safety valve on the hot side,

open the valve and check.

If the condenser has a leak, replace it.

8. Leak at soldered joint on

water heater (only applies to

DHP-AQ Maxi DHP-AQ Maxi)

Locate the leak.

If there is a leak at the soldered joint, re-

place the water heater.

9. Associated leakage on

plate heat exchanger (only

applies to DHP-AQ Maxi

DHP-AQ Maxi)

Check for lack of refrigerant in the unit

Check by smelling at the safety valve on the hot side,

open the valve and check.

If there is leakage, replace plate heat ex-

changer.

Noise

Problem – Noise problem in the radiator system

Cause

Troubleshooting

Remedy

1. Flexible hoses missing.

Flexible hoses must be installed according to the instruc-

tions.

Install flexible hoses according to the in-

structions.

2. Incorrectly installed flexi-

ble hoses.

Flexible hoses must be installed according to the instruc-

tions.

Install flexible hoses according to the in-

structions.

3. Installing/suspending

pipes.

Check if vibrations are transmitted via one of the pipe

mountings in the installation.

Remove or move the mounting point or in-

stall vibration isolating mounting parts.

4. Circulation noise (whis-

tling noise in the heating

system).

Check the heating system.

Closed valves, choke valves, adjuster valves or other

restrictions in the radiator system can cause circula-

tion noise.

Is the heating system correctly adjusted for flow?

Too great a flow in the heating system can cause cir-

culation noise.

If the incorrect type of valve is used to

choke the flow, replace with the correct

type.

If the heating system is not correctly adjus-

ted, make adjustments.

Can the heating system be run at a lower

flow?

5. Clicking.

Check that the volume tank is installed and has the

correct dimensions for the relevant system. See the

installation instructions.

Establish when clicking occurs, during heating and/or

in connection with completed hot water production?

Locate the clicking noises.

A surge tank can be installed on the supply

line to mix the hot water with the existing,

slightly cooler, water, before it goes out to

the radiators.

Try lubricating lead-ins in walls, ceilings

and floors with silicone spray.
