RENEWABLE HEATING & COOLING TECHNOLOGY
MAINTENANCE
To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning or putting objects on the shell. External Heat
Pump parts can be wiped with a damp cloth and domestic cleaner. (Warning: Never use
cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as these can damage the
surfaces.)
To prevent blockages in the titanium heat exchanger, ensure that the system
incorporates a water and filter treatment facility. In the event of a problem occurring due
to contamination, the system should be cleaned as described below. (Warning: the fins
on the finned tube heat exchanger are sharp!).
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Pipework
Contamination in the pipes and heat exchanger can reduce the performance of the heat
pumps’ titanium heat exchanger. If this is the case, the pipe system and heat exchanger
must be cleaned by a technician.
Use only pressurized drinking water for cleaning.
Cleaning the air system
The finned heat exchanger, fan and condensate outflow should be clear of all
obstructions (leaves, twigs, etc.) before each new heating season. These can be
manually removed using compressed air or by flushing with clean water.
It may be necessary to remove the unit cover and air inlet grid first.
Attention: Before opening the unit, ensure that all electrical supplies are isolated.
To prevent the evaporator and the condensate tray from being damaged, do not use hard
or sharp objects for cleaning.
Under extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow drifts), ice may form on the air intake and
exhaust air outlet grids. If this happens, the ice must be removed in the vicinity of the air
intake and exhaust air outlet grids to ensure that the minimum air flow rate is maintained.
Winter Shutdown.
To prevent frost damage to the unit when not in use the Heat Pump should be drained of
all water. Failing this another form of frost protection should be considered and actioned.
Attention: The warranty does not cover damage caused by inadequate frost
protection measures during the winter.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
This section provides useful information for diagnosing and correcting certain prolems
which may occur. Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, carry out a thorough
visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as loose connections or
defective wiring.
Before contacting your local dealer, read this chapter carefully.It could save you time
and money.
