3 Outdoor unit
Figure 2: EAGLE outdoor unit
The EAGLE outdoor unit is installed outdoors on a
plinth provided on site. The outdoor unit consists
of a sound-insulated casing for the horizontal fan
and refrigerant circuit components, such as the
evaporator, compressor, expansion valves and
others. It should be installed as closely as possible
to the indoor unit. The minimum clearances to
walls and recesses should be observed for
installation.
CAUTION Risk of injury!
Never remove the grille from the fan.
3.1 Choosing the installation location
The heat pump can be installed at altitudes of up
to 1000 m above sea level.
High wind loads on the outdoor unit can cause
problems with defrosting in defrosting mode.
Avoid installation in an open and exposed location
with high expected wind loads (e.g. flat roof of a
house in a raised location).
Select an installation location where the appliance
is on the side of the building facing away from the
wind (leeward side).
Avoid acoustic reflections when installing the
EAGLE outdoor unit:
•
Avoid installation on reverberant floors.
•
Installation between two walls can lead to
increased sound levels.
•
Avoid installation next to bedrooms.
•
Plants and planted areas can reduce sound
levels.
Provide a frost-free drain for any condensate to
drain away. A gravel bed with drainage connection
underneath the evaporator is sufficient. In winter,
ice may form around the drain.
Please note the following with regard to
installation in coastal areas:
•
The outdoor unit must be installed at least
1 km away from the sea.
•
The installation location selected should
always be on the leeward side of the building
(the side facing away from the sea).
