6.2 Connection on 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. Route the connection hoses out of the device
in a downwards direction. An optional pipe kit is available as an
accessory, which can be used to lead the connections out to the
side.
Use a spanner 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 could cause the heat pump to completely break down.
Once the heat pump has been connected to the heating system,
it must be filled, de-aerated and pressure-tested.
Consideration must be given to the following when filling the sys-
tem:
 Untreated filling water and make-up water must be of drink-
ing water quality (colourless, clear, free from sediments)
 Filling water and make-up water must be pre-filtered (pore
size max. 5 µm).
Scale formation in hot water heating systems cannot be com-
pletely avoided, but in systems with flow temperatures below
60 °C the problem can be disregarded.
With medium and high-temperature heat pumps, temperatures
above 60 °C can be reached.
The following standard values should therefore be adhered to
concerning the filling water and make-up water (according to VDI
2035 Sheet 1):

Minimum heating water flow
The minimum heating water flow rate through the heat pump
must be assured in all operating states of the heating sys-
tem. This can be accomplished, for example, by installing a dual
differential pressureless manifold. When the minimum flow rate
is undershot, the plate steel exchanger in the refrigerating cycle
can freeze, which can lead to total loss of the heat pump.

Antifreeze
A method of manual drainage (see illustration) should be pro-
vided for heat pumps which are exposed to frost. The antifreeze
function of the heat pump manager is active whenever the man-
ager and the heat circulating pump are ready for operation. The
system has to be drained if the heat pump is taken out of service
or in the event of a power failure. The heating circuit should be
operated with a suitable antifreeze if heat pump systems are im-
plemented in buildings where a power failure cannot be detected
(holiday home).
