4.2 Requirements of the installation site
The installation site must be dimensioned such that the
heat pump can be properly installed and maintained.
• Ask your heating engineer which currently applicable
national building regulations must be observed.
The installation site must be dry and generally frost-
proof.
4.3 Accumulation of condensate
(condensation water)
The evaporator, the brine pumps and the pipes in the
heat source circuit, as well as some components in the
coolant circuit, are insulated in the interior of the heat
pump, so that no condensate can accumulate. If in the
unlikely event of a small amount of condensate forming,
this falls into an internal condensate pan in the bottom
section of the heat pump. As a result of the heat gener-
ated inside the heat pump, the condensate in the con-
densate pan evaporates. Small amounts of the accumu-
lating condensate can be drained off under the heat
pump. In small amounts, accumulating condensate
should not be seen as a fault in the heat pump.
If an external passive cooling system is installed in your
system:
a Caution!
Danger of falling below the dew point and
condensate formation!
The heating flow temperature setting
must not be too low in cooling mode. The
cooling function is still effective with a
flow temperature of 20 °C.
4.4 Energy saving tips
Below you will find important tips to help you operate
your heat pump system in an energy and cost-saving
manner.
4.4.1 General energy saving tips
You can even save energy through your general actions:
—
Ventilate correctly:
Do not leave windows or French doors tilted open.
Instead, open these wide 3 to 4 times a day for
15 minutes and turn down the thermostatic valves
or room thermostats while ventilating.
— Do not block the radiators:
this will allow the heated air in the room to circulate
more effectively.
— Use a ventilation system with heat recovery:
The optimum exchange of air in the building is always
guaranteed by using a ventilation system with heat
recovery (windows no longer need to be opened for
ventilation purposes). If necessary, the air flow can be
matched to your individual requirements with the ven-
tilation unit's remote control.
— Check that windows and doors are airtight:
Keep shutters and blinds closed at night, so that as
little heat as possible is lost.
— Do not cover controllers:
If a VR 90 remote control unit is installed as an acces-
sory, do not obstruct it with furniture, etc. as other-
wise it will not be able to record the circulating room
air as effectively.
— Awareness of water usage:
shower instead of bath, replace seals in dripping water
taps immediately, for example.
