FA ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit - Part 2 - 05/2009
9.2
Final shutdown
A final shutdown may be necessary if
– the system is defective and is being dismantled and disposed of.
– components of the system are defective, are being dismantled and replaced.
– the system or parts of the system are being dismantled and reassembled in another location.
The ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit is designed to be environmentally friendly and easy to install: the jobs described above can
therefore be carried out in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner.
If the system is relocated or components of the cooling system are exchanged in the pipework system or from the indoor module
(RKHB):
• Pump refrigerants back into the external unit (see section Chapter 4.7.6 "Pump refrigerant into the Outdoor Module (RRHQ)
(evacuation)").
When disposing of the system or exchanging components of the cooling system in the outdoor module /RRHQ):
• Siphon refrigerant out of the system and recycle it (for connection layout, see Chapter 4.7 "Filling the refrigerant circuit").
• Decommissioning a ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit (see Section 9.1).
• Disconnect the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit from all electrical connections, refrigerant and water connections.
• Dismantle the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit or components in accordance with the assembly instructions (Chapter 4 "Set-up
and installation") in reverse order.
• ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnitdisposed off in a professional manner.
Recommendations for disposal
The ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit is designed to be environmental-friendly. During the disposal process, the only waste accrued is
that which can be used for material or thermal recycling. The materials used that are suitable for material recycling can be
separated according to single variety.
WARNING!
Cooling systems (heating pumps), climate control systems and heating devices that are incorrectly dismantled
can both endanger life and health of people and be impaired in their function.
• Work on the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit (such as dismantling components, temporary or final shutdown
of system) is only to be carried out by persons who are authorised and who have successfully completed
qualifying technical or vocational training
and who have taken part in advanced training sessions
recognised by the relevant responsible authorities. These include in particular
certified heating
engineers, qualified electricians and HVAC specialists
, who because of their
professional training
and
expert knowledge
, have experience in the professional installation and maintenance of heating,
cooling and air conditioning systems and heat pumps.
• It is imperative that
Warning and safety information
in
Chapter 4.7 "Filling the refrigerant circuit"
is
complied with
.
CAUTION!
Coolant escaping from the system causes long-term damage to the environment. Mixing different kinds of refrig-
erant can result in hazardous toxic gases being released. Mixing with oils when refrigerant escapes can lead to
the soil being contaminated.
• Only siphon out refrigerant into a recycling device suitable for this purpose.
• Always recycle refrigerant thus keeping it separated from oils and other additives.
• Only keep each type of refrigerant separate in suitable pressure vessels.
• Dispose of refrigerants, oils and additives professionally and in accordance with the applicable national
regulations of the country it is being used in.
Through the environmentally-friendly design of the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit, ROTEX has complied with the
standards for environmentally-friendly disposal. Proper disposal in compliance with the applicable national regu-
lations of the country of use is the responsibility of the user/owner.
