•
In case of free runoff:
— before placing the unit, open the pre-cuts prepared on the
base
9
The condensation settles on the support surface. In case of
sub-zero temperatures it can freeze and constitute a danger:
provide suitable barriers to prevent people from approaching
the unit.
•
In case of conveyed discharge:
—
insert a condensate drain fitting
— connect a drain hose
— direct to a place suitable for drainage
2.8 Installation on old systems or systems in
need of upgrading
When
B
HYDRONIC UNIT B
is installed on old systems or
systems in need of upgrading, it is recommended to ensure that:
— the electrical system is compliant with the applicable regula-
tions and has been installed by qualified professionals
— the expansion tank ensures total absorption of the expansion
of the fluid contained in the system
— the system is washed, cleaned of sludge, scale, deaerated
and the seals have been checked
— a treatment system is provided when the feed / make-up
water is particular (see chapter"Water quality characteris-
tics"
p. 21)
9
In the event of a replacement, the system must be inspected
by the designer or by another competent person, and must
be compliant with the technical requirements, as well as the
current legislations and regulations.
9
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused
by incorrect installation of the systems and failure to clean the
hydraulic system.
2.9 Hydraulic schemes
Heat pumps require systems that guarantee a constant flow of fluid
to the appliance, within minimum and maximum values and with
sufficient volumes to avoid disturbances to the refrigerant circuits
and to guarantee the correct degree of comfort.
0
IT IS FORBIDDEN to install the appliance in open vessel sys-
tems.
2.9.1 Plant water content
For correct operation of the appliance, a minimum volume of water
must be guaranteed in the primary circuit of the system.
9
The minimum volume is necessary to prevent the risk of ice
formation during defrosting operations or the continuous mod-
ulation of the compressor frequency.
It also allows the following advantages:
— less wear on the appliance
—
increase in system efficiency
— migliore stabilità e precisione della temperatura
•
Il volume minimo è calcolato in base alla seguente formula:
•
Vmin = Cnom x N

If the minimum volume is not reached, a suitably sized storage tank
must be provided.
2.9.2 Water flow
The water flow rate must be kept constant during operation and
must comply with the limits shown in the table:
