3. Technical Description
3.1 General
This device is a heat pump for the heating of sanitary water in residential areas and small
business premises. When heating sanitary water, the heat pump also cools the area, from
which air is captured and / or returned to. The heat pump can thus along with heating of
sanitary water, be used for cooling of indoor areas, whereby it has to be emphasized, that
the heat pump will only cool the area, if there is a need to heat the sanitary water.

WARNING
When heating with boiler or solar collectors, you may heat the water in the hot
water tank to a temperature above 80 °C whereby the safety thermostat switches
off. In such a case the thermostat has to be manually reset. To restart the
thermostat, an authorised installation technician must be called.
The device consists from the device generator (compressor, evaporator, fan, ...) and the hot
water tank. The housing of the generator is made of durable plastic and is heat and sound
isolated. The device has two attachments for air channels which enable a remote air intake
and exhaust from neighbouring rooms or the environment. The hot sanitary water tank is
equipped with a piped heat exchanger, which can be connected to an external fossil fuel,
biomass or solar energy collector powered boiler.
Hot Sanitary Water Tank
Sanitary water heater is enamelled with patented technology, heat isolated with polyurethane
and mechanically protected with sheet metal. The tank is serially equipped with a water heat
exchanger that can be connected with a boiler when choosing an additional heat source. An
Mg anode is also placed into the tank, preventing corrosion of the heater upon potential
mechanical damage to the enamel.
Electric Heater
The device is serially equipped with two electric heaters with a power of 2 x 2 kW, which
serves as an additional or backup heating source.
Along with both already installed heaters, it is possible to install an additional heater into the
hot sanitary water tank with a 6/4" attachment with separate power supply.
Anti-freeze probe
Regulator of heat pump senses the temperature of the vaporizer. In the case, that the
temperature of the vaporizer is below -7 °C, it will perform a safety shutdown of the device for
at least 30 minutes. In such a case, the heat pumps with an electric heater automatically
switch to electric heating and the heat pumps with an attached boiler switch to boiler heating
(circulation pump switch on).
Safety thermostat
The electric heater contains a safety thermostat with a limit at 85 °C. This means that, in the
case that the temperature in hot water tank is exceeded, the power supply will be switched
off and the device will stop operating. To restart the device, call authorised installation
technician who must verify and remove the reason of the safety shutdown of the device.
Boiler water temperature control
Monitoring and heating of water to desired temperature is ensured by the advanced
OPTITRONIC 2 touchscreen regulator.
In regards to the set up desired water heating temperature, the controller, as required,
switches the compressor and fan on or off, and, under certain conditions, also switches the
electric heater or circulation pump of the boiler on or off. The maximal temperature of water
heating that can be set up is 65 °C. Should the temperature in hot water tank increase over
75 °C, the controller switches off all sources of heat for safety reasons.
Minimal temperature of water in hot water tank is 7 °C.
High pressure cooling system protection
To prevent pressure in the cooling system to get too high and potential damage, related to it,
a high pressure safety switch is installed, which stops the operation of the heat pump in the
case of pressure rising beyond a preset point.
Conditions of operation
Environment temperature must be between -7 °C and +35 °C. The air must be clean with
relative humidity not exceeding 50% at +35 °C. At lower air temperatures, the relative air

The cooling system of the heat pump is a closed circuit system, within which the coolant R134a
circles as a heat exchanger. At lower pressure and lower temperature (e.g. 10°C), the coolant is
vaporised in the heat pump vaporizer, thereby drawing heat from the air. Then, the coolant is
compressed to a higher pressure in the compressor, which makes its temperature rise to the
temperature, higher than that of the water in the boiler. The coolant then gives away the heat to
the water in the condenser, whereby it liquefies. The expansion of the coolant, which makes the
coolant pressure and temperature lower to the primary value, the circular process is concluded.
This process is repeated throughout the heat pump operation time.
humidity may be higher. Devices, placed at higher altitudes above sea level may function
less efficiently due to lower air pressure.

Figure 3: Suction and exhaust into neighbouring room (e.g. pantry cooling).
5. Installation
The lowest height of ceiling in the room must be 2500. The device is made so that it takes
heat from surrounding air or sucks it through air channels and blows it into neighbouring
rooms or the environment. The device may be installed in the following ways.
The most common placement of the heat pump is such, that the air is sucked from areas,
where there is a lot of waste heat. This air has a part of its heat removed, then released into
the surrounding. Air in kitchens, laundry rooms, sanitary facilities often contains unpleasant
odours, so it is blown into the environment. Thereby we must be careful that the air flows and
pressures in spaces are evened out, which must be ensured by the projecting engineer for
the ventilation.

WARNING
The device must not be placed where there are harmful substances, which
could damage it, in the air (barns, dangerous substance storage, open air,
etc.).

WARNING
The device must be in a vertical position during operation to prevent potential
leaking of water condensation.
In the case of using air heat from the same room where the device is installed, the room
must be at least 50 m3.
5.2 Device Levelling
Figure 6: Device levelling
The device has to be levelled as shown on the image above.
5.3 Hydraulic Connection
Hydraulic connection must be carried out in accordance with the valid national and local
regulations, which are in force for the connection of sanitary water tanks. The room with the
device must have a drain below the level of the device for the drainage in the case of a water
spill. The image below shows the proper hydraulic connection of the device.
