At hot water temperatures under 7° C, start-up is not possible.
The water in the buffer tank must be heated to a minimum
of 18 °C with the second heat generator.
To ensure a problem-free start-up, the following procedure is to
be implemented:
1)
Close all consumer circuits.
2)
Ensure that the heat pump has the correct water flow.
3)
Use the manager to select the automatic operating mode.
4)
In the special functions menu, start the "Start-up" program.
5)
Wait until a return temperature of at least 25 °C has been
reached.
6)
Now slowly reopen the heating circuit valves in succession
so that the heating water flow is constantly raised by slightly
opening the respective heating circuit. The heating water
temperature in the buffer tank must not be allowed to drop
below 20°C during this process. This ensures that the heat
pump can be defrosted at any time.
7)
When all heat circuits are fully open and a return tempera-
ture of at least 18° C is maintained, the heat pump start-up
is complete.
8 Maintenance / Cleaning
8.1 Maintenance
To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning or putting objects on the
device. External heat pump parts can be wiped with a damp cloth
and domestic cleaner.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
To prevent faults due to sediment in the heat exchanger of the
heat pump, ensure that the heat exchanger in the heating system
can not be contaminated. In the event that operating malfunc-
tions due to contamination still occur, the system should be
cleaned as described below.
8.2 Cleaning the Heating System
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in
the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel
components are used. These products enter the heating system
via the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is
therefore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of un-
derfloor heating systems - that only diffusion-proof materials are
used.
ATTENTION!
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump.
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the
heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the liquifier in the heat pump, the system must be
cleaned by a heating technician.
According to today's state of knowledge, we recommend using a
5 % phosphoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if
cleaning needs to be performed more frequently, a 5 % formic
acid solution should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op-
posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys-
tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di-
rectly to the flow and return flow of the liquifier of the heat pump.
It is important that the system be thoroughly flushed using appro-
priate neutralising agents to prevent any damage from being
caused by cleaning agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with great care and all relevant regulations of
the employers' liability insurance associations must be adhered
to.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the chemicals!
8.3 Cleaning the Air System
Evaporator, ventilator and condensate outflow should be cleaned
of contamination (leaves, twigs, etc.) before the heating period.
Do this by opening the front of the heat pump. The bottom should
be opened first followed by the top.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that all circuits are isolated from the
power supply.
Remove and rehang the side panel assemblies as described in
Chapter 4.
To prevent the evaporator and the condensate tray from being
damaged, do not use hard or sharp objects for cleaning.
Under extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow drifts), ice may
form on the air intake and exhaust air outlet grids. If this happens,
the ice must be removed in the vicinity of the air intake and ex-
haust air outlet grids to ensure that the minimum air flow rate is
maintained.
