HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4.1
Positioning
The heat pump is designed for outdoor installation. It must be installed on a stable and levelled base.
The pump can be installed in vertical position only.
a)
The condensing unit should be installed in spaces where it can
have sufficient supply of fresh ambient air.
Do not install the
condensing unit in closed spaces with limited air access
and where the air cannot circulate sufficiently. The air
inlet and outlet must be completely accessible. The condensing
unit should have minimal distances from surrounding objects as
shown on picture on the right. Do not put the condensing unit
near bushes or trees either, as these can also influence the air
access. Every single barrier of free air flow reduces the
efficiency of the heat pump and may lead to heat pump’s
malfunction, damage or failure.
b)
Although the condensing unit is designed for exterior installation (sunlight, rain, snow) it is
suggested to make a shelter / roof in order to protect its metal parts and thus ensure long term
stability of color, metal chassis, etc.
c)
Do not install the device near road networks, as increased concentration of dust gradually
decreases the heat exchange effectiveness.
d)
When the condensing unit is in full heating operation, it generates considerably colder air than
ambient air temperature. It is thus advised not to install the condensing unit at places, where
cold air flow could cause any inconvenience (windows, terraces, etc.). Also, do not place the air
outlet against the dominant winds.
e)
The distance between the water unit and the condensing unit can be max. 20m /HP900/ and
max. 30m /HP1200/ horizontally and max. 15m vertically (condensing unit above water unit).
Split heat pump was designed to provide with water temperature control of a pool and in the
meantime provide no visual and/or acoustic disturbance to a pool user. It is thus advised to
install the condensing unit away from the pool to a place where it will not be ‘seen and/or
heard’.
f)
The condensing unit must be placed on a flat, stable and levelled surface. The pump housing
must be fixed to this surface with screws and rubber anti-vibration elements (silent blocks).
Rubber anti-vibration elements not only reduce the noise level of the heat pump, but also help
to eliminate the vibrations and thus they contribute to smoother heat pump operations and long
term reliability. Please note that the condensing unit should be installed above the closest
terrain level to allow the condensation water leak out of the heat pump. Please refer to
section
7.1 Water condensation.
g)
The surface of the evaporator consists of aluminum fins. The fins are soft and can get
mechanically damaged very easily. Please be careful when manipulating with the unit to avoid
any damage.
h)
It is advised to install the condensing unit on a stand 300-500mm above surrounding
ground. Heat pump installed directly on a surrounding ground can by easily immersed into
snow and/or into frozen condensation. This can decrease heat pump’s efficiency and
performance and lead to heat pump malfunction, damage or failure.
Notice: Please discuss particular details of heat pump positioning and connection to the swimming
pool water circuit with your swimming pool builder, distributor or reseller!
