Installation Manual & User Guide

EAS heat pumps are designed for
“Hydronic” water
based heating systems
and can be used in
conjunction with other heating systems such as
electric, gas or oil boilers and solar collectors.
EAS air-source (air to water) heat pumps are
designed to operate efficiently in cold climates and
in temperatures down to - 20
c.
Air-source heat pumps make use of free renewable
energy from the outside air, heated by the sun and
exhaust only cool air and condensation water. Air-
source heat pumps do not require costly drilling,
digging or ground loops as with geothermal units.
EAS heat pumps are designed for easy installation,
and only require connection to heating system,
electrical supply and a thermostat or control system.
System description
EAS is designed to heat water solutions up to 60
C
for heating applications. Temperature setting
should be set according to the type of heating
system being used.
EAS can be used to heat domestic and potable
water via external heat exchanger or “cholrifier”
cylinder system that indirectly heats the water.
EAS units should not be used for direct heating of
potable water.
EAS is not intended for direct heating of corrosive
agents such as chlorine used in swimming pools
and Jacuzzi baths which can damage internal
components. An external heat exchanger and
circulation pump can be used for swimming pool
and spa heating applications.
