The heat pump and collector hose in general
39
The collector hose can be connected to the heat pump with one or more circuits. In a multi-circuit solution, the collector
hoses are connected in parallel as illustrated below. The parallel hoses are connected to two manifolds. Each coil should
have a shut off valve and a control valve. The control valve is adjusted so that the flow rate is the same in the coils.
After the distributor and the valves, the coils are connected to a collecting pipe. A filling unit, filter and an expansion vessel
are connected to the collecting pipe. A safety valve is connected to the outgoing pipe.
One circuit at a time is filled with heat transfer fluid. Keep the valves closed in the other loops during the process. Read
more about filling under the headings Connecting the heat pump to the heating system /Filling water in the heating system
and Filling the heat transfer fluid in the collector hose.
Connecting the heat pump to the heating system
It is important that all previously mentioned preparations have been carried
out before the heat pump is connected to the heating system. Also ensure the
pipe system has been power flushed before it is connected to the heat pump.
Flushing protects the heat pump from contamination.
Oxygen must not enter the system. The heat pump is only intended to work
in oxygen free systems with dead water. When oxygen enters the system it
causes corrosion in the heat pump and blocks the filter on the heating system
side.
Connecting to the heating system without a bypass:
The heat pump can be connected to the heating system without a bypass, as the circulation in the heat pump and the heating
system is managed by the integrated pump G2 (P2). This also means the main pump G1 (P1) is omitted where a bypass is
fitted. A minimum flow of at least 70% of the nominal flow (see the table below) can be maintained throughout the year.
Radiator thermostat valves should be fully open and underfloor heating systems should have at least half of the coils to be
fully open. The control unit gives an alarm when the temperature increase exceeds 13ºC in the heating system. If the
heating system is designed so that a minimum flow cannot be guaranteed, the heat pump should be connected using a
bypass and an external main pump G1 (P1).
Hot water function:
Hot water charging is started by the hot water sensor T3 (GT3), and is stopped by the return sensor T9 (GT9).
Heat carrier pump
The circulation pump G2 (P2) is a Wilo Star 25/6-130 on heat pumps from 6kW to 9kW.
Only qualified installers may carry out
the installation. The installer should
observe applicable regulations and
recommendations from the supplier.
