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:

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.
ATTENTION!
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.
Minimum heating water flow rate
The minimum heating water flow rate through the heat pump
must be assured in all operating states of the heating system.
This can be accomplished, for example, by installing either a
dual differential pressureless manifold or an overflow valve. The
procedure for setting an overflow valve is described in the
chapter "Start-up". When the minimum heating water flow rate
is undershot, the plate heat exchanger in the refrigeration cir-
cuit can freeze, which can lead to total loss of the heat pump.
The nominal flow rate is specified depending on the max. flow
temperature in the device information and must be taken into
account during planning. With design temperatures below
30 °C in the flow, the design must be based on the max. volume
flow with 5 K spread for A7/W35.
The specified nominal flow rate (See "Device information" on
page 10.) must be assured in all operating states. An installed
flow rate switch is used only for switching off the heat pump in
the event of an unusual and abrupt drop in the heating water
flow rate and not to monitor and safeguard the nominal flow
rate.

Frost protection

Heat pump systems, which cannot be guaranteed to be frost-
free, should be equipped with a drainage option (see Fig.). The
frost protection function of the heat pump manager is active
whenever the heat pump manager and the heat circulating
pump are ready for operation. If the heat pump is taken out of
service or in the event of a power failure, the system has to be
drained, and if required, blown out, at three locations (see illus-
tration). The heating circuit should be operated with a suitable
antifreeze if heat pump systems are implemented in buildings
where a power failure can not be detected (holiday home).
