7.5.3 Connecting an electronically
regulated circulating pump
Electronically regulated circulating pumps have high starting cur-
rents, which may shorten the service life of the heat pump man-
ager. For this reason, a coupling relay is installed or must be in-
stalled between the output of the heat pump manager and the
electronically regulated circulating pump. This is not necessary if
the permissible operating current of 2 A and a maximum starting
current of 12 A are not exceeded in the electronically regulated
circulating pump or if express approval has been issued by the
pump manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
It is not permitted to connect more than one electronically regulated
circulating pump via a relay output.
8 Start-up
8.1 General
To ensure that start-up is performed correctly, it should only be
carried out by an after-sales service technician authorised by the
manufacturer. This may be a condition for extending the guaran-
tee (see warranty service).
8.2 Preparation
Prior to commissioning, the following items need to be checked:
All connections of the heat pump must have been made as
described in Chapter 7.
The heat source system and the heating circuit must have
been filled and checked.
The strainer must have been fitted in the well water inlet of
the heat pump.
In the well water and heating circuits all valves that might im-
pair the proper flow must be open.
The settings of the heat pump manager must be adapted to
the heating installation in accordance with the instructions
contained in the controller's operating manual.
8.3 Procedure
The start-up of the heat pump is effected via the heat pump man-
ager.
ATTENTION!
Commissioning is to be effected in accordance with the installation and
operating manual of the heat pump manager.
9 Cleaning / maintenance
9.1 Maintenance
To prevent malfunctions due to sediments in the heat exchang-
ers, care must be taken that no im-purities can enter the heat
source system and the heating installation. In the event that op-
erating malfunctions due to contamination occur nevertheless,
the system should be cleaned as described below.
9.2 Cleaning the heating system
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in
the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel
components are used. They enter the heating system via the
valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is therefore
essential - in particular with respect to the entire pipework - that
only diffusion-resistant materials are used.
NOTE
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump. We recommend equipping diffusion-open heating systems
with an electrophysical anti-corrosion system (e.g. ELYSATOR system).
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the
heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the liquefier in the heat pump, the system must
be cleaned by a heating technician.
Based on current information, we recommend using a 5 % phos-
phoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if cleaning
needs to be performed more frequently, a 5 % formic acid solu-
tion should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op-
posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys-
tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di-
rectly to the flow and return of the liquefier of the heat pump.
It is then important that the system be thoroughly flushed using
appropriate neutralising agents to prevent any damage from
being caused by cleaning agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with care and the regulations of the employ-
ers’ liability insurance associations must be adhered to.
The manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning agent must
be complied with at all times.
9.3 Cleaning the heat source
system
ATTENTION!
The supplied strainer must be fitted in the heat source inlet of the heat
pump in order to protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities.
A dirt trap is installed in the heat source inlet of the heat pump in
order to protect the evaporator against contamination. When the
system is first put into operation, the filter screen of the dirt trap
should be cleaned at relatively short intervals. These intervals
can be prolonged once the amount of impurities detected decre-
ases.
