The outdoor unit (boiler)
Deciding on Where to Install the Outdoor Units
Choose a location where the noise of the Air to Water Heat Pump when running and the
discharged air do not disturb any neighbours.
Install the outdoor unit on a flat, stable surface with plenty of drainage, gravel or grass is
ideal; make sure the base can support its weight
Position the outdoor unit so that the air flows into an open area, where there are no plants
and animals
If you can see the sea from the position of the outdoor unit you need to apply Blygold, Bronze
glow or equivalent anti-corrosion coating on the whole unit.
The unit will not benefit from being mounted on the North or south of the building, any aspect
is fine, you should avoid very exposed positions to avoid wind blowing into the back or front of
the unit.
The unit needs to be securely
mounted at least 100mm off the
ground on rubber feet. The unit
must be bolted down for security
using 10mm bolts and Zebedee
bolts. If wall brackets are used we
recommend 600mm unistrut
cantilever arms are used. Caution
should be applied when wall
mounting because any vibration
form the unit can be transmitted into
the
wall creating noise.
The unit must have adequate drainage away from the unit; it can produce up to 6 L / hour.
There is a drainage kit included which we recommend you don’t use, its best to let the unit
drain into the ground. If a drip tray is used it must be 25mm longer and wider than the base of
the unit to catch all the drips.
Dimensions:
Size 16 - 1420mm (h) 940mm (w) 330mm (d) 103kg
Size 9 - 998mm (h) 940mm (w) 330mm (d) 75kg
The space around the unit is very important, allow:
300mm to the left hand side (facing the front of the
unit), 600mm to the right of the unit, 300mm to the
rear of the unit and 1500mm to the front of the unit.
The Control Box
Each heat pump is delivered with its own control box which also contains the flow switch.
Install the control unit indoors as it’s not waterproof.
It needs to be sited less than 15m of the hot water cylinder, 100m of the outdoor unit and as
near as possible to the pump, flow switch and any zone valves.
The box is 323mm wide, 339mm high, 131mm deep
