WATER TANK INSTALLATION
The water tank should be put in a place where ambient temperature is higher than 0ºC.
It can be installed either outdoors or on the roof-top (some elements such as the size of water tank
and the bearing capability of the building should be considered). Installation on roof-top should be
based on support such as crossbeam or pillar.
The water tank should not be installed lower than the foundation of the heat pump; It is suggested
to install the heat pump, the water tank and the circulation pump at the same level. Besides, the
height difference between the heat pump and the water tank should be no more than 2 meters,
when water tank position is higher than that of the heat pump.
Do not install the water tank in a pollutive or corrosive area.
The reasonable allocation of the heat pump and water tank volume should deploy by 1/0.6 as
maximum. Please refer to the following:

WATER PIPING INSTALLATION
Drainpipe and overflow pipe should be installed near the gutter or the sinkhole for draining water more
efficiently. Discharge valve is necessary on the drainpipe.
Service valve needs to be installed before the magnet-valves on the system pipeline for further
inspection.
The pressure of the water outlet should be between 0.3MPa and 0.6MPa.
It is recommended to use metal pipeline such as stainless steel pipes, internal-plastic pipes,
internal stainless steel pipes or copper pipes etc; Telescopic issue of the pipeline between heat
pump unit and water tank should be considered if plastic pipeline such as PPR pipe and ABS pipe
etc. is used.
In winter, heat preservation may need to be carried out for the water supply valve and the stop
valve of the system (according to local ambient temperature) for avoiding icing of the water supply
pipe and the valves.
Keep the water pipes straight and the pipeline allocation reasonable; Reduce pipe turnings as
many as possible to reduce water resistance.
Prevent the pipeline and the connectors from water leakage.
The water pressure bearing capability of each part of the piping system should be tested after the
installation is finished; Drainage should be done to create a clean interior system.
Measures of heat preservation for the hot water pipeline need to be conducted after assuring no
water leakage.
