Factors to be taken into account when designing the
collector layout are geographical position, type of
rock/soil and cover factor of the heat pump.
When installing the collector hose ensure it rises con-
stantly towards the heat pump to avoid air pockets. If
this is not possible, install high points to vent the air.
All collector pipes in heated rooms must be insulated
against condensation. The level vessel (NK) must be
installed as the highest point in the collector system
and on the incoming pipe before the brine pump. Note
that condensation may drip from the level vessel.
Position the vessel so that this does not harm other
equipment.
As the temperature of the collector system can fall
below 0 °C it must be protected against freezing down
to -15 °C. One litre of ready mixed brine per meter of
collector hose (applies when using PEM-hose 40 x
2.4 PN 6.3) is used as a guide value when making the
volume calculation.
Details of the antifreeze used must be shown on the
level vessel.
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance
with current norms and directives. The heat pump can
operate up to a return temperature of about 58* °C
and an outgoing temperature of about 70* °C from the
heat pump. The compressor produces up to 65* °C,
the rest is obtained using additional heating.
The other heat pumps has a max return temperature
of approximately 50 °C and an outgoing max tempera-
ture from the heat pump of approximately 60 °C.
Since the BWB-SS DC eries is not fitted with shut-off
valves, these must be fitted outside of the heat pump
to make future servicing easier.
During assembly the pipes for the heat medium
and water heater and possibly hot water circulation
are routed backwards. The distance between
BWB-SS DC series and the wall ought to be 50 mm.
General
Shut-off valves should be installed as close to the heat
pump as possible. Fit the supplied particle filter on the
incoming pipe.
In the case of connection to an open groundwater sys-
tem, an intermediate frost-protected circuit must be
provided, because of the risk of dirt and freezing in the
evaporator. This requires an additional heat exchang-
er.
Pipe connections (Brine system)
The collector circuit may be connected from the left or
from the right. The lower side panels are swapped
over to suit the chosen connection option. The
enclosed connecting pipes for the brine are secured
using the clips in the punched tabs that are folded
down on the side in question.
