OPERATION

Appliance description

3.Appliance description

3.1Properties

The appliance is a heating heat pump for outdoor installation that operates as an air | water heat pump. Heat is extracted from the outdoor air at a low temperature level, and is then transferred to the heating water at a higher temperature. The heating water can be heated up to a flow temperature of 65 °C.

The heat pump automatically reverts to heating mode at the end of the defrost cycle.

!Material losses

In dual mode operation, the return water of the second heat generator can flow through the heat pump. Please note that the return temperature must be no higher than 60 °C.

The appliance is equipped with an electric emergency/booster heater (DHC). If the dual mode point can no longer be maintained in mono mode operation, the electric emergency/booster heater is activated to safeguard heating operation and the provision of high DHW temperatures. In such cases, the electric emergency/booster heater is activated in mono energetic operation as a booster heater.

This appliance has further operational characteristics: -- Suitable for underfloor and radiator heating.

-- Preferred for low temperature heating systems.

-- Extracts heat from the outdoor air even at –20 °C outside temperature.

-- Corrosion-protected, external casing made from hot-dipped galvanised sheet steel plus stove-enamelled finish.

-- Comprises all components and safety equipment required for operation.

-- Filled with non-combustible safety refrigerant.

Note

For centralised control of the heating system you will need heat pump manager WPM.

3.2Function

3.2.1 Heating

Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger (evaporator) on the air side. The evaporated refrigerant is compressed by a compressor. Electrical energy is necessary for this process. At this point, the refrigerant is at a higher temperature level. A further heat exchanger (condenser) transfers the heat to the heating circuit. During this process, the refrigerant expands, and the cycle restarts from the beginning.

At air temperatures below approx. +7 °C, the humidity in the air condenses as hoarfrost on the evaporator fins. Any hoarfrost is automatically defrosted. Water created by this process collects in the defrost pan and is drained off via a hose.

!Material losses

In the defrost cycle, the fan is switched off and the heat pump circuit is reversed. The heat required for defrosting is drawn from the buffer cylinder. For operation without a buffer cylinder, observe chapter „Operation / Menu structure / Menu SETTINGS / STANDARD SETTING / BUFFER OPERATION“ in the operating and installation instructions of the WPM. Otherwise the heating water freezes under unfavourable conditions.

3.2.2 Cooling

!Material losses

The heat pump is not suitable for continuous, year-round cooling.

ffObserve the application limits (see chapter “Specification / Data table”).

Rooms are cooled by reversing the heat pump circuit. Heat is extracted from the heating water and the evaporator transfers this heat to the outdoor air.

Area cooling requires the installation of the FEK remote control unit in a reference room to capture the relative humidity and the room temperature as part of monitoring the dew point.

Heat pump application limit

The heat pump is switched off if the outside temperature falls below the selected lower application limit for cooling (parameter LIMIT COOLING).

4.Settings

The system is operated exclusively by the WPM heat pump manager.

ffPlease observe the heat pump manager operating and installation instructions.

8.Appliance description

The appliance offers frost protection for the connection lines. The integral frost protection circuit starts the circulation pump in the heat pump circuit automatically at a condenser temperature of 8 °C, and thereby ensures circulation in all water-carrying sections. If the temperature inside the buffer cylinder drops, the heat pump starts automatically no later than when the temperature falls below +5 °C.

ffAir should not be blown out against the wind.

ffNever direct the air intake or discharge towards noise-sensi- tive rooms of the house, e.g. bedrooms.

ffAvoid installation on large, echoing floor areas, e.g. tiled floors.

ffAvoid installation between reflective building walls. Reflecting building walls can increase the sound level.

ffMaintain the minimum clearances to ensure trouble-free operation of the appliance and facilitate maintenance work.

How the push-fit connectors work

The push-fit connectors are equipped with a retainer with stainless steel serrations and an O-ring seal. In addition, the pushfit connectors are equipped with the “twist and lock” function. Simply turning the screw cap by hand will secure the pipe in the connector and push the O-ring against the pipe to seal it.

Making the push-fit connection

The connector must be in its relaxed position before the pipe is inserted. In this position, there is a small gap between the screw cap and main body.

ffAlways use a pipe cutter to trim pipes.

ffPush the pipe through the O-ring into the push-fit connector until it reaches the prescribed insertion depth.

ffTighten the screw cap by hand against main body as far as it will go. This locks the push-fit connection.

Undoing the push-fit connection

If the push-fit connectors later need to be undone, proceed as follows:

ffTurn the screw cap anti-clockwise until there is a narrow gap of approx. 2 mm. Press the retainer back with your fingers and hold on to it.

ffPull out the inserted pipe.
