Installation site
■
Select a site with good air circulation, so that the
cooled air can dissipate and be replaced by warm
air.
■
Never install in interior corners, in recesses or
between walls. This could result in an "air short cir-
cuit" between the air being discharged and the air
being drawn in.
!
Please note
An "air short circuit" during
heating operation
will result in the cooled discharged air re-
entering the unit. This can result in reduced
heat pump efficiency and defrosting problems.
Avoid "air short circuits".
!
Please note
An "air short circuit" during
cooling operation
will result in the heated discharged air re-
entering the unit. This can lead to high pres-
sure faults.
Avoid "air short circuits".
■
When siting the unit where it is exposed to wind,
ensure that the wind cannot influence the fan area.
Strong wind can have a negative influence on the
evaporator ventilation.
■
Take into account the lengths of the refrigerant lines:
See "Connecting refrigerant lines".
■
Select the installation site so that the evaporator can-
not be blocked by leaves, snow etc.
■
Select the installation site giving due consideration to
the physical laws concerning the propagation and
reflection of sound.
Technical guide "Heat pump principles"
■
Never install next to or below bedroom windows.
■
Never install closer than 3 m to pathways, down-
pipes or sealed surfaces. The cooled air in the dis-
charge area creates a risk of ice forming when out-
side temperatures are below 10 °C.
■
The installation site must be easily accessible,
for example for maintenance work: See "Minimum
clearances".
