INSTALLATION OF THE HEAT PUMP
The heat pump can be used using the ambient air or air from other premises. The
heat pump must be installed in a frost-free room. When selecting a place for
installation, particular attention should be paid that the selected air intake location is
dust free, because dust has adverse effects on the heat pump performance. When
selecting the place of installation, pay attention to the solidity of the wall – can it take
the weight of the heat pump together with the weight of the water inside the boiler?
Take all the necessary precautions to prevent the operation noise and vibrations from
transferring through the walls to the premises where this would be disturbing
(bedrooms, rest areas). Do not install the heat pump and its air intake in premises
with other air consumption appliances (gas boilers, solid-fuel fireplaces, dust
extraction appliances etc.) During installation, please bear in mind the minimum
distances from the wall, ground and ceiling. The condensate outlet from the heat
pump is placed on the bottom left side in the form of a plastic tube with an external
diameter of ø18 mm. This tube should be connected to the external condensate
outlet pipe and led to the sewage system or a container. The quantity of condensate
depends on air temperature and humidity when the heat pump is in operation.
To prevent pressure depression in
the building, fresh air must be
regularly supplied to the premises.
The desired rate of air exchange for
a residential building is 0.5. This
means that the entire quantity of air
in the building is exchanged every
two hours.
Connecting the heat pump to the
same pipeline as the kitchen
extractor fan or taking air out of
several smaller apartments or suites
is not allowed.

To minimize the transfer of noise and vibrations through walls into the premises
where this would be disturbing (bedrooms, rest areas), please take the following
measures:
- install flexible joints for hydraulic connections
- install a flexible tube for the pipeline of inlet/outlet air
- plan vibration insulation for wall openings
- plan noise dampers for inlet/outlet air
- pipelines for inlet/outlet air should be attached using noise dampers
- plan vibration insulation against the wall
