Daikin Altherma – Low temperature split

4P449978-1 – 2016.06

1 General safety precautions

NOTICE

Make sure refrigerant piping installation complies with applicable legislation. In Europe, EN378 is the applicable standard.

NOTICE

Make sure the field piping and connections are not subjected to stress.

WARNING

During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:

▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room

can lead to oxygen deficiency.

▪ Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes

into contact with fire.

DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION

Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump

down the system, and there is a leakage in the refrigerant circuit:

▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,

with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the operating compressor.

▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's

compressor does NOT have to operate.

WARNING

Always recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.

NOTICE

After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.

NOTICE

▪ To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more

than the specified amount of refrigerant.

▪ When the refrigerant system is to be opened,

refrigerant must be treated according to the applicable legislation.

WARNING

Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.

▪ In case re-charge is required, refer to the nameplate of the unit. It

states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.

▪ The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe

sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.

▪ Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the

system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the system.

▪ Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:

If Then

A siphon tube is present

(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")

A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside

▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.

▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may

prevent normal operation.

CAUTION

When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is not closed immediately, remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant. Possible consequence: Incorrect refrigerant amount.

Charge with the cylinder upright.

down.

1.2.4 Brine

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

WARNING

The selection of the brine MUST be in accordance with the applicable legislation.

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of brine leakage. If brine leaks, ventilate the area immediately and contact your local dealer.

WARNING

The ambient temperature inside the unit can get much higher than that of the room, e.g. 70°C. In case of a brine leak, hot parts inside the unit can create a hazardous situation.

WARNING

The use and installation of the application MUST comply with the safety and environmental precautions specified in the applicable legislation.

1.2.5 Water

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

2 About the documentation

1.2.6 Electrical

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the

switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or touching electrical parts.

▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute,

and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you can touch electrical components. For the location of the terminals, see the wiring diagram.

▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.

▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service

cover is removed.

WARNING

If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III condition, shall be installed in the fixed wiring.

WARNING

▪ ONLY use copper wires.

▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable

legislation.

▪ All field wiring must be performed in accordance with

the wiring diagram supplied with the product.

▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they

do not come in contact with the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connections.

▪ Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit

to a utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.

▪ Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER

use a power supply shared by another appliance.

▪ Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit

breakers.

▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure

to do so may cause electric shock or fire.

▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure

it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the earth leakage protector.

NOTICE

Precautions when laying power wiring:

▪ Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the

power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat).

▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness,

do as shown in the figure below.

▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect

firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal board.

▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the

terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will damage the head and make proper tightening impossible.

▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Install power cables at least 1 metre away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1metre may not be sufficient.

WARNING

▪ After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each

electrical component and terminal inside the electrical components box is connected securely.

▪ Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the

unit.

NOTICE

Only applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the compressor has an ON/OFF starting method.

If there exists the possibility of reversed phase after a momentary black out and the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase can break the compressor and other parts.

5 Application guidelines

5.1 Overview: Application guidelines

The purpose of the application guidelines is to give a glance of the possibilities of the Daikin heatpump system.

NOTICE

▪ The illustrations in the application guidelines are meant

for reference only, and are NOT to be used as detailed hydraulic diagrams. The detailed hydraulic dimensioning and balancing are NOT shown, and are the responsibility of the installer.

▪ For more information about the configuration settings to

optimize heatpump operation, see "8Configuration"on

page48.

This chapter contains application guidelines for:

▪ Setting up the space heating system

▪ Setting up an auxiliary heat source for space heating

▪ Setting up the domestic hot water tank

▪ Setting up the energy metering

▪ Setting up the power consumption

▪ Setting up an external temperature sensor

5.2 Setting up the space heating system

The Daikin heat pump system supplies leaving water to heat emitters in one or more rooms.

Because the system offers a wide flexibility to control the temperature in each room, you need to answer the following questions first:

▪ How many rooms are heated by the Daikin heatpump system?

▪ Which heat emitter types are used in each room and what is their

design leaving water temperature?

Once the space heating requirements are clear, Daikin recommends to follow the setup guidelines below.

NOTICE

If an external room thermostat is used, the external room thermostat will control the room frost protection. However, the room frost protection is only possible if the leaving water temperature control on the unit's user interface is turned ON.

INFORMATION

In case an external room thermostat is used and room frost protection needs to be guaranteed in all conditions, then you have to set auto emergency [A.6.C] to 1.

5.2.3 Multiple rooms – TwoLWT zones

If the heat emitters selected for each room are designed for different leaving water temperatures, you can use different leaving water temperature zones (maximum 2).

In this document:

▪ Main zone = Zone with the lowest design temperature

▪ Additional zone = The other zone

CAUTION

When there is more than one leaving water zone, you must ALWAYS install a mixing valve station in the main zone to decrease (in heating) the leaving water temperature when the additional zone has demand.

Typical example:

Room (zone) Heat emitters: Design

Living room (main zone) Underfloor heating: 35°C

Bed rooms (additional zone) Heatpump convectors: 45°C

Setup

A Additional leaving water temperature zone B Room 1 C Room 2 D Main leaving water temperature zone E Room 3

a Remote controller of the heatpump convectors b User interface c Mixing valve station d Pressure regulating valve

INFORMATION

A pressure regulating valve should be implemented before the mixing valve station. This is to guarantee the correct water flow balance between the main leaving water temperature zone and the additional leaving water temperature zone in relation to the required capacity of both water temperature zones.

temperature

▪ For the main zone:

▪ A mixing valve station is installed before the underfloor heating.

▪ The pump of the mixing valve station is controlled by the ON/

OFF signal on the indoor unit (X2M/5 and X2M/7; normal closed shut-off valve output).

▪ The room temperature is controlled by the user interface, which

is used as room thermostat.

▪ For the additional zone:

▪ The heatpump convectors are directly connected to the indoor

unit.

▪ The desired room temperature is set via the remote controller of

the heatpump convectors for each room.

▪ The heating demand signals of each heatpump convector are

connected in parallel to the digital input on the indoor unit (X2M/1 and X2M/4). The indoor unit will only supply the desired additional leaving water temperature when there is an actual demand.

▪ When the room thermostat requests heating, the indoor unit or the

auxiliary boiler starts operating depending on the outdoor temperature (status of the changeover to external heat source). When the permission is given to the auxiliary boiler, the space heating by the indoor unit is turned OFF.

▪ Bivalent operation is only possible for space heating, NOT for

domestic hot water production. Domestic hot water is always produced by the DHW tank connected to the indoor unit.

INFORMATION

▪ During heating operation of the heat pump, the

heat pump operates to achieve the desired temperature set via the user interface. When weatherdependent operation is active, the water temperature is determined automatically depending on the outdoor temperature.

▪ During heating operation of the auxiliary boiler, the

auxiliary boiler operates to achieve the desired water temperature set via the auxiliary boiler controller.

Setup

▪ Integrate the auxiliary boiler as follows:

n Heat exchanger coil o Booster heater

FHL1...3 Underfloor heating

NOTICE

▪ Make sure the auxiliary boiler and its integration in the

system complies with applicable legislation.

▪ Daikin is NOT responsible for incorrect or unsafe

situations in the auxiliary boiler system.

▪ Make sure the return water to the heatpump does NOT exceed

55°C. To do so:

▪ Set the desired water temperature via the auxiliary boiler

controller to maximum 55°C.

▪ Install an aquastat valve in the return water flow of the

heatpump.

▪ Set the aquastat valve to close above 55°C and to open below

55°C.

▪ Install non-return valves.

▪ Make sure to only have one expansion vessel in the water circuit.

An expansion vessel is already premounted in the indoor unit.

▪ Install the digital I/O PCB (option EKRP1HB).

▪ Connect X1 and X2 (changeover to external heat source) on the

PCB to the auxiliary boiler thermostat.

▪ To setup the heat emitters, see "5.2Setting up the space heating

system"on page12.

Configuration

Via the user interface (quick wizard):

▪ Set the use of a bivalent system as external heat source.

▪ Set the bivalent temperature and hysteresis.

NOTICE

▪ Make sure the bivalent hysteresis has enough

differential to prevent frequent changeover between indoor unit and auxiliary boiler.

▪ Because the outdoor temperature is measured by the

outdoor unit air thermistor, install the outdoor unit in the shadow so that it is NOT influenced or turned ON/OFF by direct sunlight.

▪ Frequent changeover may cause corrosion of the

auxiliary boiler. Contact the manufacturer of the auxiliary boiler for more information.

5.4 Setting up the domestic hot water tank

The DHW tank is integrated in the indoor unit, and contains a 2.4kW booster heater. The booster heater contains 2 safeties: a thermal cut-out and a thermal fuse. If a certain temperature is exceeded, the safeties deactivate the booster heater.

INFORMATION

The non-self-resetting thermal cut-out of the booster heater is set below 89°C.

5.4.1 System layout – Integrated DHW tank

Selecting the volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank consists of:

1 Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water

volume at 40°C).

2 Determining the volume and desired temperature for the DHW

tank.

Possible DHW tank volumes

Type Possible volumes

Integrated DHW tank ▪ 180l

▪ 260l

Energy saving tips

▪ If the DHW consumption differs from day to day, you can program

a weekly schedule with different desired DHW tank temperatures for each day.

▪ The lower the desired DHW tank temperature, the more cost

effective. By selecting a larger DHW tank, you can lower the desired DHW tank temperature.

▪ The heatpump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum

55°C (50°C if outdoor temperature is low). The electrical resistance integrated in the DHW tank (booster heater) can increase this temperature. However, this consumes more energy. Daikin recommends to set the desired DHW tank temperature below 55°C to avoid using the electrical resistance. The booster heater:

▪ Is used as emergency heater.

▪ Is used when the disinfection function for the DHW tank is

active.

▪ Can assist during defrost operation for the outdoor unit.

▪ The higher the outdoor temperature, the better the performance of

the heatpump.

▪ If energy prices are the same during the day and the night,

Daikin recommends to heat up the DHW tank during the day.

▪ If energy prices are lower during the night, Daikin recommends

to heat up the DHW tank during the night.

▪ When the heatpump produces domestic hot water, it cannot heat

up a space. When you need domestic hot water and space heating at the same, Daikin recommends to produce the domestic hot water during the night when there is lower space heating demand.

Determining the DHW consumption

Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C) using the typical water volumes:

a Outdoor unit b Indoor unit c Heat exchanger d Backup heater e Pump

f Motorised 3‑way valve g DHW tank h Shut-off valve

i Collector (field supply) j Booster heater

FHL1...3 Underfloor heating

UI User interface

5.4.2 Selecting the volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank

People experience water as hot when its temperature is 40°C. Therefore, the DHW consumption is always expressed as equivalent hot water volume at 40°C. However, you can set the DHW tank temperature at a higher temperature (example: 53°C), which is then mixed with cold water (example: 15°C).

▪ Only applicable for EHVH04+08.

▪ The consumed energy is calculated internally based on:

▪ The actual power input of the outdoor unit

▪ The set capacity of the backup heater and booster heater

▪ The voltage

▪ Setup and configuration: To get accurate energy data, measure

the capacity (resistance measurement) and set the capacity via the user interface for:

▪ The backup heater (step1 and step2)

▪ The booster heater

Measuring the consumed energy

▪ Applicable for all models.

▪ Preferred method because of higher accuracy.

▪ Is only applicable for EHVH04+08.

▪ Allows you to limit the power consumption of the entire system

(sum of outdoor unit, indoor unit, booster heater, and backup heater).

▪ Configuration: Set the power limitation level and how it has to

be achieved via the user interface.

▪ The power limitation level can be expressed as:

▪ Maximum running current (inA)

▪ Maximum power input (inkW)

▪ The power limitation level can be activated:

▪ Permanently

▪ By digital inputs

5 Application guidelines

Setup and configuration

▪ No additional equipment needed.

▪ Set the power consumption control settings in [A.6.3.1] via the

user interface (for the description of all settings, see

"8Configuration"on page48):

▪ Select full time limitation mode

▪ Select the type of limitation (power in kW or current in A)

▪ Set the desired power limitation level

NOTICE

Mind the following guidelines when selecting the desired power limitation level:

▪ Set a minimum power consumption of ±3.6 kW to

guarantee defrost operation. Otherwise, if defrosting is interrupted several times, the heat exchanger will freeze up.

▪ Set a minimum power consumption of ±3 kW to

guarantee space heating and DHW production by allowing at least one electrical heater (backup heater step1 or booster heater).

5.6.2 Power limitation activated by digital inputs

Power limitation is also useful in combination with an energy management system.

The power or current of the entire Daikin system is limited dynamically by digital inputs (maximum four steps). Each power limitation level is set via the user interface by limiting one of the following:

▪ Current (in A)

▪ Power input (in kW)

The energy management system (field supply) decides the activation of a certain power limitation level. Example: To limit the maximum power of the entire house (lighting, domestic appliances, space heating…).

5.6.1 Permanent power limitation

Permanent power limitation is useful to assure a maximum power or current input of the system. In some countries, legislation limits the maximum power consumption for space heating and DHW production.

INFORMATION

In case more than 1 digital input is closed (at the same time), the digital input priority is fixed: DI4 priority>…>DI1.

5.6.3 Power limitation process

The outdoor unit has better efficiency than the electrical heaters. Therefore, the electrical heaters are limited and turned OFF first. The system limits power consumption in the following order:

1 Limits certain electrical heaters.

If… has priority Then set the heater priority

5.7 Setting up an external temperature sensor

You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure the indoor or outdoor ambient temperature. Daikin recommends to use an external temperature sensor in the following cases:

Indoor ambient temperature

▪ In room thermostat control, the user interface is used as room

thermostat and it measures the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the user interface must be installed on a location:

▪ Where the average temperature in the room can be detected

▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight

▪ That is NOT near a heat source

▪ That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of,

for example, door opening/closing

▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote

indoor sensor (option KRCS01-1).

▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of

the remote indoor sensor.

▪ Configuration: Select room sensor [A.2.2.B].

Outdoor ambient temperature

▪ In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured.

Therefore, the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:

▪ At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where

the most heat emitters are located

▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight

▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote

outdoor sensor (option EKRSCA1).

▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of

the remote outdoor sensor.

▪ Configuration: Select outdoor sensor [A.2.2.B].

▪ During suspend (see "8Configuration"on page48), the outdoor

unit is turned down to reduce the standby energy losses. As a result, the outdoor ambient temperature is NOT read out.

▪ If the desired leaving water temperature is weather dependent, the

full time outdoor temperature measurement is important. This is another reason to install the optional outdoor ambient temperature sensor.

INFORMATION

The external outdoor ambient sensor data (either averaged or instantaneous) is used in the weather-dependent control curves. To protect the outdoor unit, the internal sensor of the outdoor unit is always used.

compatible with water used in the system and with the materials used in the indoor unit.

▪ Field supply components – Water pressure and temperature.

Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the water pressure and water temperature.

▪ Water pressure. The maximum water pressure is 4 bar. Provide

adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.

▪ Water temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories

(valve, connections,…) MUST withstand the following temperatures:

INFORMATION

The following illustration is an example and might NOT match your system layout.

NOTICE

In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.

▪ Connecting piping – Legislation. Make all piping connections in

accordance with the applicable legislation and the instructions in the "Installation" chapter, respecting the water inlet and outlet.

▪ Connecting piping – Force. Do NOT use excessive force when

connecting the piping. Deformation of the piping can cause malfunctioning of the unit.

▪ Connecting piping – Tools. Only use appropriate tooling to

handle brass, which is a soft material. If NOT, pipes will get damaged.

▪ Connecting piping – Air, moisture, dust. If air, moisture or dust

gets into the circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:

▪ Only use clean pipes

▪ Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.

▪ Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent

dust and/or particles entering the pipe.

▪ Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.

▪ Closed circuit. Use the indoor unit ONLY in a closed water

system. Using the system in an open water system will lead to excessive corrosion.

▪ Glycol. For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of

glycol to the water circuit.

▪ Piping length. It is recommended to avoid long runs of piping

between the domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point (shower, bath,…) and to avoid dead ends.

▪ Piping diameter. Select the water piping diameter in relation to

the required water flow and the available external static pressure of the pump. See "14 Technical data"on page86 for the external static pressure curves of the indoor unit.

▪ Drainage – Low points. Provide drain taps at all low points of the

system in order to allow complete drainage of the water circuit.

▪ Drainage – Pressure relief valves. Provide a proper drain for the

pressure relief valves (of both the domestic hot water tank and the domestic hot water tank kit) to avoid water dripping out of the unit. For the discharge piping connected to these valves, respect the

Resistance created by each elbow or bend 0.8m

(a) The maximum allowed resistance (i.e. equivalent length) is

expressed as a length of straight pipe (i.e. no elbows or bends).

INFORMATION

All piping MUST be installed according to section G3 of the Building Regulations.

▪ Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which

must also be easily accessible for servicing. An automatic air purge is provided in the indoor unit. Check that the air purge is NOT tightened too much, so that automatic release of air in the water circuit is possible.

▪ Zn-coated parts. Never use Zn-coated parts in the water circuit.

Because the unit's internal water circuit uses copper piping, excessive corrosion may occur.

▪ Non-brass metallic piping. When using non-brass metallic

piping, insulate the brass and non-brass properly so that they do NOT make contact with each other. This to prevent galvanic corrosion.

▪ Valve – Separating circuits. When using a 3-way valve in the

water circuit make sure that the domestic hot water circuit and the floor heating circuit is fully separated.

▪ Valve – Change‑over time. When using a 2-way valve or a 3-way

valve in the water circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve must be 60seconds.

▪ Filter. It is strongly recommended to install an additional filter on

the heating water circuit. Especially to remove metallic particles from foul heating piping, it is recommended to use a magnetic or cyclone filter, which can remove small particles. Small particles may damage the unit and will NOT be removed by the standard filter of the heat pump system.

▪ Domestic hot water tank – Capacity. To avoid stagnation of

water, it is important that the storage capacity of the domestic hot water tank meets the daily consumption of domestic hot water.

▪ Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after

installation, the domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must be repeated at least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.

▪ Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during

longer periods of time there is no consumption of hot water, the equipment MUST be flushed with fresh water before usage.

▪ Domestic hot water tank – Disinfection. For the disinfection

function of the domestic hot water tank, see "8.3.2Domestic hot

water control: advanced"on page61.

▪ Domestic hot water tank kit – Clean pipes. Before installing the

domestic hot water tank kit, all piping and fittings must be flushed free of flux and debris. Failure to do this may cause irreparable damage to the tank kit control valves. Flush the system by opening the hot water tap.

▪ Domestic hot water tank kit – Pressure balancing. To prevent

large pressure differences at the taps and damage to the shower valve due to high‑pressure cold water (5bar), provide a dedicated 2‑bar feed to both cold water and hot water taps. To do this, also connect the cold water supply for the cold water taps to the pressure reducing valve of the domestic hot water tank kit.

▪ Domestic hot water tank kit – Secondary return. Where the

secondary return circuits are used, an additional expansion vessel may be required.

▪ Thermostatic mixing valves. In accordance with the applicable

legislation, it may be necessary to install thermostatic mixing valves.

▪ Hygienic measures. The installation must be in compliance with

the applicable legislation and may require additional hygienic installation measures.

▪ Recirculation pump. In accordance with the applicable

legislation, it may be required to connect a recirculation pump in between the hot water end point and the recirculation connection of the domestic hot water tank.

6.4.2 Formula to calculate the expansion vessel pre-pressure

The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation height difference (H):

Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)

6.4.3 To check the water volume and flow rate

The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10litre with a factory-set pre-pressure of 1bar.

To make sure that the unit operates properly:

▪ You must check the minimum and maximum water volume.

▪ You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion

vessel.

Minimum water volume

Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum 10litre, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT included.

6.4.4 Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel

NOTICE

Only a licensed installer may adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.

When changing the default pre-pressure of the expansion vessel (1bar) is required, take following guidelines into account:

▪ Only use dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-pressure.

▪ Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel pre-pressure will

lead to malfunction of the system.

Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel should be done by releasing or increasing nitrogen pressure through the Schrader valve of the expansion vessel.

INFORMATION

Domestic hot water tank kit (EKVSU180+260A). The

domestic hot water kit also contains 2 expansion vessels. Check that they are pressurised by pushing their Schrader valves (purging air).

6.4.5 To check the water volume: Examples

Example 1

The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100l.

No actions or adjustments are required.

Example 2

The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 350l.

Actions:

▪ Because the total water volume (350 l) is more than the default

water volume (280l), the pre-pressure must be decreased.

▪ The required pre-pressure is:

Pg = (0.3+(H/10))bar = (0.3+(0/10))bar=0.3bar.

▪ The corresponding maximum water volume at 0.3 bar is 410 l.

(See the graph in the chapter above).

▪ Because 350 l is lower than 410 l, the expansion vessel is

appropriate for the installation.

6.5.2 About preferential kWh rate power supply

Electricity companies throughout the world work hard to provide reliable electric service at competitive prices and are often authorized to bill clients at benefit rates. E.g. time-of-use rates, seasonal rates, Wärmepumpentarif in Germany and Austria, ...

This equipment allows for connection to such preferential kWh rate power supply delivery systems.

Consult with the electricity company acting as provider at the site where this equipment is to be installed to know whether it is appropriate to connect the equipment in one of the preferential kWh rate power supply delivery systems available, if any.

When the equipment is connected to such preferential kWh rate power supply, the electricity company is allowed to:

▪ interrupt power supply to the equipment for certain periods of time;

▪ demand that the equipment only consumes a limited amount of

electricity during certain periods of time.

The indoor unit is designed to receive an input signal by which the unit switches into forced off mode. At that moment, the outdoor unit compressor will not operate.

Whether the power supply is interrupted or not, the wiring to the unit is different.

WARNING

▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,

6.5.3 Overview of electrical connections except external actuators

equipment might break down.

▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a

utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
