8.3 - Flow rate detection
Standard unit
All units are equipped as standard with a factory-set flow switch.
It cannot be adjusted on site.
The heat transfer fluid pump must be servo-controlled by the unit:
dedicated terminals are provided for installing the heat transfer
fluid pump servo control (auxiliary operation switch of the pump
to be wired on site).
Unit with hydraulic module option
The “flow rate detection” functionality is handled by the option via
the pressure sensors.
8.4 - Cavitation protection (with hydraulic
module option)
To ensure the durability of pumps fitted on the integrated hydraulic
modules, the control algorithm of units in the range includes
protection against cavitation.
It is therefore necessary to ensure a minimum pressure of 60 kPa
(0.6 bar) at the pump inlet both when shut down and during
operation.
A pressure below 60 kPa will prevent unit start-up, or will cause
an alarm and shut-down.
A pressure below 100 kPa will trigger an alert on the user interface.
To obtain an adequate pressure, it is recommended:
- To pressurise the hydraulic circuit between 100 kPa (1 bar)
and 400 kPa (4 bar) maximum at the pump inlet;
- To clean the hydraulic circuit during water filling or after any
modifications are made;
- To regularly clean the screen filter.
8.5 - Backup electrical heaters
Specific instructions for AQUACIAT
POWER™
ILD
To compensate for the reduction in the heat pump's output at low
ambient temperatures, which changes significantly as shown in
the graph below, it is possible to install backup electric heaters on
the unit's water outlet.
These heaters (not supplied) can be controlled via the EMM option.
Four outputs are available to control the switches (not supplied)
on the heaters, allowing gradual compensation of the heat pump
output reduction.
These outputs can be configured to obtain two, three or four stages
(as required), the last stage only being activated in the event of a
default shut-down of the heat pump (safety).
Example of additional heaters
In the graph, the power of the four heaters equals the capacity of
the heat pump at an outdoor air temperature of 7°C.

8.6 - Frost protection
Damage caused by frost is not covered by the
warranty.
The plate heat exchanger, the pipes and the hydraulic module
pump(s) can be damaged by frost. The components of the unit
(heat exchanger, pipes, hydraulic module) are protected by
following the recommendations below. Protection of the remainder
of the system is the responsibility of the installer.
The plate heat exchanger and all the components of the hydraulic
circuit can be protected against freezing by draining the entire
machine completely, checking that there are no retention points.
If this is not possible, the plate heat exchanger and all the
components of the water circuit can be protected against freezing:
- Down to -20°C by heaters and heat trace cables (fitted as an
option on the exchanger and internal pipe system) supplied
automatically (for units without the hydraulic module)
- Down to -20°C by heaters and heat trace cables (fitted as an
option on the water type heat exchanger and internal pipe
system) supplied automatically and pump on/off activation
(for units with hydraulic module)
Never power off the heaters for the water type heat exchanger
and the hydraulic circuit or pump, as they will no longer be
providing frost protection.
To ensure they continue to receive power, the main disconnect
switch for the unit or the customer's circuit and the auxiliary circuit
breaker for the heaters must be left closed (see the wiring diagram
for the location of these components).
To protect units with a hydraulic module from freezing, water must
be circulated in the water circuit by the pump, which is activated
at regular intervals.
