3.1. General instructions


Avoid excessive strain between the pipes and the heat pump connections to prevent leaks and/or transmission of
vibrations. Flexible hoses are recommended for unit connections.

Install cut-off valves at all the hydraulic drive and return connections to facilitate future maintenance tasks.

Install traps at all the installation points where air pockets can form.

Place heat insulation on all circuit pipes to prevent unnecessary heat loss and condensation. Pay special attention to the
heating insulation on the brine circuit pipes, since these can reach temperatures below 0ºC, causing condensation and/or
frost.

During installation work on the hydraulic circuits, take special care to prevent liquid from
spilling on the internal electrical heat pump components, which could cause personal injury
