Assembly
6.1 General
The following connections need to be established on the heat
pump:
Heating system flows and returns
Condensate drain
Communication line
Control voltage line
Supply voltage line
6.2 Connection on the heating side
The heating system connections on the heat pump are to be
made inside the device. Refer to the device information for the
connection sizes. The connection hoses are routed out of the
device in a downwards direction. A spanner must be used to
firmly grip the transitions when connecting the heat pump.
Before connecting the heating water system to the heat pump,
the heating system must be flushed to remove any impurities,
residue from sealants, etc. Any accumulation of deposits in the
liquefier may cause the heat pump to completely break down.
For systems in which the heating water flow can be turned off
using radiator and/or thermostat valves, an overflow valve must
be installed by the customer in a heating bypass upstream from
the heating pump. This ensures a minimum heating water flow
rate through the heat pump and helps to avoid faults.
Once the heat pump has been connected to the heating sys-
tem, it must be filled, purged and pressure-tested. The installed
dirt trap must be checked for soiling at regular intervals (approx.
every 6 months) and cleaned if necessary.
The following points must be observed when filling the system:
Untreated filling water and make-up water must be of
drinking water quality
(colourless, clear, free of sediments)
Filling water and make-up water must be pre-filtered (max.
pore size 5 µm).

Scale formation in domestic hot water heating systems cannot
be avoided, but in systems with flow temperatures below 60 °C,
the problem can be disregarded. With high-temperature heat
pumps and in particular with bivalent systems in the higher per-
formance range (heat pump + boiler combination), flow tem-
peratures of 60 °C and more can be achieved. The following
standard values should therefore be adhered to with regard to
the filling and make-up water according to VDI 2035, sheet 1:
The total hardness values can be found in the table.

1. For the purpose of calculating the specific system volume, the smallest indi-
vidual heat output is to be used for systems with several heat generators.
2. In systems with several heat generators with different specific water con-
tents, the smallest specific water content is decisive.
3. For systems with aluminium alloys, full softening is recommended.
Fig. 6.1:Guideline values for filling and make-up water in accordance with
VDI 2035
For systems with an above-average specific system volume of
50 l/kW, VDI 2035 recommends using fully demineralized
water and a pH stabiliser to minimize the risk of corrosion in the
heat pump and the heating system.
CAUTION!
With fully demineralized water, it is important to ensure that
the minimum permissible pH value of 7.5 (minimum
permissible value for copper) is complied with. Failure to
comply with this value can result in the heat pump being
destroyed.
