  12.2 Simple Faultfinding 
 
The following is a list of some basic faults and solutions.   

 

 

Failure 

Possible causes for the 

failure

 

Solutions

 

Heat pump 

cannot

 

be started

 

1   Wrong power supply

 

2   power supply cable loose

 

3   circuit breaker open

 

1   shut off the power and check power supply;

 

2   check power cable and make right connection

 

3   check for the cause and replace the fuse or circuit 

breaker

 

Water pump is 

running with 

high noise or 

without water

 

1   lack of water in the piping

 

2   much air in the water loop

 

3   water valves closed

 

4   dirt and block on the water filter

 

1   check the water supply and charge water to the piping;

 

2   discharge the air in the water loop;

 

3   open the valves in water loop;

 

4   clean the water filter.

 

Heat pump 

capacity is low, 

compressor

 

do not stop

 

1   lack of refrigerant;

 

2   bad insulation on water pipe;

 

3   low heat exchange rate on air side 

exchanger;

 

4   lack of water flow

 

1   check for the gas leakage and recharge the refrigerant;

 

2   make good insulation on water pipe;

 

3   clean the air side heat exchanger;

 

4   clean the water filter

 

High 

compressor 

exhaust

 

1   too much refrigerant

 

2   low heat exchange rate on air side 

exchanger

 

1   discharge the redundant gas

 

2   clean the air side heat exchanger

 

Low pressure 

problem

 

of the system

 

1   lack of gas 

2   block on filter or capillary 

3   lack of water flow 

1   check the gas leakage and recharge freon;

 

2   replace filter or capillary;

 

3   clean the water filter and discharge the air in water loop.

 

Compressor do 

not run

 

1   power supply failure 

2   compressor contactor broken 

3   power cable loose 

4   protection on compressor 

5   wrong setting on return water temp. 

6   lack of water flow 

1   check off the power supply;

 

2   replace compressor contactor;

 

3   tighten the power cable;

 

4   check the compressor exhaust temp.;

 

5   reset the return water temp.;

 

6   clean the water filter and discharge the air in water loop.

 

Discharge temp. 

Too  high

 

 

Exhaust 

temperature is too 

high

 

Check through each 

temp. switch and 

return circuit

 

 

Freeze  alarm

 

 

Water flow rate  is 

inadequate

 

Check the water flow 

volume and flow 

switch operation,

 

 

Power  fault  

alarm

 

 

Not used in

 

single phase  unit

 

 

Outlet  temp. too 

cold

 

 

Water flow rate is 

inadequate

 

Check the water flow 

volume, and flow 

switch operation

 

Compressor  2 

overcold

 

 

Water flow rate is 

not enough

 

Check the water flow 

volume and flow 

switch operation

 

EEV  alarm  

Suction probe  

error

 

 

The sensor is open 

or short circuit

 

 

Check or change the 

sensor

 

EEV  alarm  

Evap. Probe  

error

 

 

The sensor is open 

or short circuit

 

 

Check or change the 

sensor
