Installation and Operation Manual RTC 12i - www.regulus.eu
3.3. Minimum distances
The heat pump itself is intended for outdoor
installation, it is usually placed to the outer wall of the
building, with the fan facing away from the building.
At least 2 m of free space must be maintained in
front of the heat pump. The location must be chosen
so that the air can flow completely freely through
the heat pump. Used cold air should not be sucked
again into the inlet on the back as this will cause
the performance parameters of the heat pump
deteriorate.
The heat pump does not need an additional roof.
If the product is placed in an area where it will be
exposed to particularly harsh weather conditions or
if there is a risk of damage from snow falling from a
roof, the product can be installed underneath a small
awning.
Follow the recommendations below when choosing
a heat pump location:
Location:
make sure that the heat pump does not
disturb you or your surroundings with noise, avoid
installation at a bedroom window, patio or fence;
if possible, we recommend not installing the heat
pump in a corner; when placed in a corner, the
resulting sound pressure level may increase due to
reflections from the surrounding walls.
Material of surrounding surfaces:
avoid using
materials with increased sound reflectivity; it is
unsuitable, for example, to line the surrounding
surfaces with ceramic tiles.
