8.1 Startup
To operate the unit, the system must be fully in operation, including the fluid circuit and electrical system. To
start up the unit, open the respective valves on the inlet and outlet side of the fluid circuit and connect to the
electrical system:
1.
Switch on the electrical system (the fans start up automatically).
2.
Open the working fluid-carrying lines.
Caution:
In freezing conditions, open the inlet valve/by-pass valve slowly or control the pump
startup speed to avoid tensions on the coil due to freeze structures. When the coil is free of ice,
continue the normal startup procedure.
