Unit Protection
Protect units from damage and contamination due to
plastering (spraying), painting and all other foreign materials
that may be used at the job site. Keep all units covered on the
job site with either the original packaging or equivalent
protective covering. Cap or recap unit connections and all
piping until unit is installed. Precautions must be taken to
avoid physical damage and contamination which may prevent
proper start-up and may result in costly equipment repair.
Storage
All geothermal units should be stored inside in the original
packaging in a clean, dry location. Units should be stored in
an upright position at all times. Units should not be stacked
unless specially noted on the packaging.
Removal and Disposal
All Geothermal units removed from service should have all
components, oils, antifreeze and refrigerants properly
disposed of according to local and national environmental
recycling codes, regulations, standards and rules.
Pre-Installation
Special care should be taken in locating the geothermal unit.
Installation location chosen should include adequate service
clearance around the unit. All units should be placed on a
formed plastic air pad, or a high density, closed cell
polystyrene pad slightly larger than the base of the unit. If
units are being placed on racking, the unit must be placed on
a solid foundation. All units should be located in an indoor
area where the ambient temperature will remain above 55°F
and should be located in a way that piping and ductwork or
other permanently installed fixtures do not have to be
removed for servicing and filter replacement.
