Sanden Heat Pump – Installation Manual
Page 5 of 28
Installation location
The tank unit should be located as close as possible to the most frequently used hot
water outlet such as a kitchen or bathroom. It may be located either outside or
inside. The heat pump component must be located outside and as close as
practicable to the tank unit, but not further than four metres away from it.
Ensure sufficient clearance around the heat pump unit to allow air to circulate and
provide adequate space for service maintenance of the unit (Figure 3).
Install the heat pump unit in an area which allows sufficient ventilation. Poor
ventilation may cause the unit to short cycle and this could increase the power
consumption by more than 10%.
Do not install the heat pump unit in a confined space.
If the heat pump unit is installed facing a wall, exhaust air may stain the wall.
There must be adequate space between top of heat pump & anything above it to
allow for access to top controls for servicing.
