4.2 Transport
The heat pump is to be transported and stored
in a packaged condition. Careful transport at an
angle of 45° is allowed over short distances.
Ambient temperatures of –20°C to +45°C are
allowed both for transport and storage. The
standard packaging affords no protection
against weather and sea-water.
Transport damage can only be recognised if
this is made known to the driver of the delivery
vehicle during unloading.
4.3 Installation
location
The GMLW heat pump can be installed in any
dry and frost free room.
The installation must take place on a level sur-
face. The location of the appliance is to be se-
lected such that operation and maintenance
are possible at any time.
(Clearance from the rear of the heat pump to
the wall - min. 50 cm, clearance from the side
of the heat pump to the wall - 30 cm, clearance
from the front of the heat pump to the wall - 70
cm).
The heat pump must be decoupled acoustically
from the floor.
Reverberant
rooms can lead to increased noise
sensitivity. A possible noise transfer to adjoin-
ing rooms cannot be ruled out and must be
considered during the design.
4.3.1
Installation of split outdoor unit
The installation of the split outdoor unit (evapo-
rator) is only permissible in the open air and is
to be carried out in such a way that the air-flow
is not hindered on any side.
A maximum of one side may face a wall. A
minimum clearance of 1m must be ensured.
Fig. 2: Minimum clearance to a wall
A minimum of 3m clearance above the unit is to
be ensured. Installing the unit in a hollow is not
permitted.
Fig. 3: Minimum clearance to a ceiling
The distance from the heat pump to the evapo-
rator is usually up to 10m (horizontal). The
maximum permissible difference in height (top
edge of evaporator) is 7m. Larger distances are
to be agreed with the factory in advance.
The following points are to be heeded when
installing the evaporator:
•
avoid installing on hard floors which could
transmit vibration
•
installing between two walls could lead to an
increase in noise level
Pointer for the installation:
The higher the performance rating of
the heat pump, the louder the noise
made by the compressor.
