HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4.1
Positioning
The heat pump is designed for outdoor installation. It must be installed on a stable and levelled base.
The pump can be installed in vertical position only.
a)
The heat pump should be installed in spaces where it can have
sufficient supply of fresh ambient air.
Do not install the heat
pump in closed spaces with limited air access and where
the air cannot circulate sufficiently.
The air inlet and outlet
must be completely accessible. The heat pump should have
minimal distances from surrounding objects as shown on picture
on the right. Do not put the heat pump near bushes or trees
either, as these can also influence the air access.
Every single
barrier of free air flow reduces the efficiency
of the heat
pump and may lead to heat pump’s malfunction, damage or
failure.
b)
Although the heat pump is designed for exterior installation (sunlight, rain, snow) it is
suggested to make a shelter / roof in order to protect its metal parts and thus ensure long term
stability of color, metal chassis, etc.
c)
Do not install the device near road networks, as increased concentration of dust gradually
decreases the heat exchange effectiveness.
d)
When heat pump is in full heating operation, it generates considerably colder air than ambient
air temperature. It is thus advised not to install the heat pump at places, where cold air flow
could cause any inconvenience (windows, terraces, etc.). Also, do not place the air outlet
against the dominant winds.
e)
The distance between the swimming pool edge and the heat pump should not exceed 30 m.
Please note that the longer interconnecting water piping is, the higher heat loss occurs, i.e.
lower heating output and less efficiency is achieved. Practically this results in longer heating
times and higher electricity bill. It is not advised to install the heat pump very close to
swimming pool water surface.
f)
The heat pump must be placed on a flat, stable and levelled surface. The pump housing must
be fixed to this surface with screws and rubber anti-vibration elements (silent blocks). Rubber
anti-vibration elements not only reduce the noise level of the heat pump, but also help to
eliminate the vibrations and thus they contribute to smoother heat pump operations and long
term reliability.Please note that heat pump should be installed above the closest terrain level to
allow the condensation water leak out of the heat pump. Please refer to
section 7.1 Water
condensation
.
g)
The surface of the evaporator consists of aluminum fins. The fins are soft and can get
mechanically damaged very easily. Please be careful when manipulating with the unit to avoid
any damage.
h)
It is advised to install the heat pump on a
stand 300-500mm above surrounding ground
in the case the heat pump is to operate in low ambient air temperatures. Heat pump installed
directly on a surrounding ground can by easily immersed into snow and/or into frozen
condensation. This can decrease heat pump’s efficiency and performance and lead to heat
pump malfunction, damage or failure.
Notice: Please discuss particular details of heat pump positioning and connection to the swimming
pool water circuit with your swimming pool builder, distributor or reseller!

objects.
