3.2
Preparing water piping
NOTICE
In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen
diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of
oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.
3.2.1
To check the water volume and flow rate
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum
10 litres, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT included.
NOTICE
When circulation in each space heating/cooling loop is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum water volume is guaranteed, even if all of the
valves are closed.
Minimum flow rate
Check that the minimum flow rate in the installation is guaranteed in
all conditions. This minimum flow rate is required during defrost/
backup heater operation. For this purpose, use the overpressure
bypass valve delivered with the unit, and respect the minimum water
volume.
NOTICE
When circulation in each or certain space heating loops is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum flow rate is guaranteed, even if all valves are
closed. In case the minimum flow rate cannot be reached,
a flow error 7H will be generated (no heating or operation).
See the installer reference guide for more information.
Minimum required flow rate during defrost/backup heater
operation
12 l/min
