Components and installation
4.1
Heating system EcoTouch DS 5050T
All components of the heating system are mounted in a protective steel
plate housing which is intended for installation inside. The base frame con-
sists of a bent, thick-walled sheet steel. Together with the rear panel frame,
which also consists of a thick-walled sheet steel, it forms a unit. Side pan-
els, cover, front and the tilt-mounted, ergonomic control panel can be re-
moved.
All enclosure components are reliably and permanently protected by pow-
der-coating and a stove enamel finish. A sound insulation ensures low noise
emissions.

Installation
4.2.1
Heat pump system series EcoTouch DS 5050T
The heat pump is designed as complete operational unit for thermodynamic
space heating, expandable to domestic hot water production.
Functions: Heat pump, domestic hot water heating system, natural cooling
(option), regulation and electrical control.
All dynamic components are located on an internal chassis (dual chassis
construction), separated from the external housing. The pipe joints between
internal and external chassis are flexibly mounted to prevent structure-born
noise transmission within the unit.
4.2.2
Heat pump module
The series 5050T is provided with two compressors (power level:
50 % or 100 %). The compressors feature a fully hermetic design in ap-
proved leading scroll technology (fig. left). Evaporator and condenser are
designed as soldered stainless steel plate packs with reverse flow circuits,
according to state-of-the-art development, tailored to the new non-
flammable safety refrigerants that will be required by law in the future. In
combination with ester oil (biodegradable), this guarantees optimum lubrica-
tion conditions, low friction losses and therefore the highest possible life ex-
pectancy for the compressor according to the latest industrial research
findings.
The cooling circuit is designed in accordance with the relevant safety regu-
lations. Manufacturing quality is carried out based on ISO 9000ff, supple-
mented by an automated computer-monitored quality test (pressure stress
and helium leak test) in addition to inspection of all parameters in a subse-
quent trial run.
