Heat Pump Manual

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Immediately upon receipt of the heat pump, carefully inspect the heat pump for any damage
that may have occurred in transit. Any such damage must be noted on the carrier
’s delivery
documents. It is the consignee
’s responsibility to make any subsequent claims upon the
carrier or respective insurance company.
Any hidden damage should be reported to Thermex as soon as possible.
If the unit is to be stored before installation then care must be taken to ensure no foreign
matter can get into the water pipes. If the storage is for a prolonged period it is recommended
that the water circuit be changed with nitrogen and sealed.
The unit has been designed to be lifted with a forklift or a crane. The standard unit is heavier
towards the front looking at the heat pump side on and care must be taken when lifting with a
crane that the strapping does not damage the side panels. The remote condenser unit can be
lifted along its centre line in both directions. The units are also designed to be moved around
with a pallet jack.
The unit is supplied with wooden supports under the compressor to protect the pipe work in
transport. They have to be removed before starting the unit it up. Failure to do so will stop the
compressor moving on its rubber mounts and may cause stress on the pipe work.
INSTALLATION
A comprehensive commissioning program carried out by qualified refrigeration mechanics is
available through Aqua Cooler. Benefits of this service include extended warranty. For full
details and conditions please contact Aqua Cooler. There is also a site inspection procedure
at the end of this manual. It is strongly recommended that Thermexor one of its agents carry
out a site inspection to confirm that the installation site will not compromise the heat pumps
performance.
The water fittings are on the standard unit are at the rear of the unit
– that is the end as the
unit away from the electrical box and the unit should be positioned so this end is as close to
the process as possible.
At least 800mm should be left around the unit to allow for proper ventilation of the evaporators
– see diagram. The unit should not be installed in a closed off room and if it is to be installed
under anything then there should be a minimum of 2 metres of clear air above the unit.
