Unit and System Checkout
Unit and System Checkout
BEFORE POWERING SYSTEM, please check the following:
UNIT CHECKOUT
Balancing/shutoff valves: Ensure that all isolation
valves are open and water control valves are wired.
Line voltage and wiring: Verify that voltage is within
an acceptable range for the unit and wiring and
fuses/breakers are properly sized. Verify that low
voltage wiring is complete
.
Unit control transformer: Ensure that transformer has
the properly selected voltage tap.
Entering water and air: Ensure that entering water
and air temperatures are within operating limits of
Table 9a-b.
Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water
temperature cut-out on the DXM2 control is properly
set
.
Unit fan: Manually rotate fan to verify free rotation
and ensure that blower wheel is secured to the
motor shaft. Be sure to remove any shipping
supports if needed. DO NOT oil motors upon start-
up. Fan motors are pre-oiled at the factory. Check
unit fan speed selection and compare to design
requirements.
Condensate line: Verify that condensate line is open
and properly pitched toward drain
.
Water fl ow balancing: Record inlet and outlet water
temperatures for each heat pump upon startup.
This check can eliminate nuisance trip outs and
high velocity water fl ow that could erode heat
exchangers.
Unit air coil and fi lters: Ensure that fi lter is clean and
accessible. Clean air coil of all manufacturing oils
.
Unit controls: Verify that DXM2 fi eld selection
options are properly set.
SYSTEM CHECKOUT
System water temperature: Check water temperature
for proper range and also verify heating and cooling
set points for proper operation.
System pH: Check and adjust water pH if necessary
to maintain a level between 6 and 8.5. Proper pH
promotes longevity of hoses and fi ttings (see table 3).
System
fl ushing: Verify that all hoses are connected
end to end when fl ushing to ensure that debris
bypasses the unit heat exchanger, water valves and
other components. Water used in the system must be
potable quality initially and clean of dirt, piping slag,
and strong chemical cleaning agents. Verify that all
air is purged from the system. Air in the system can
cause poor operation or system corrosion.
Cooling tower/boiler: Check equipment for proper
setpoints and operation.
Standby pumps: Verify that the standby pump is
properly installed and in operating condition
.
System controls: Verify that system controls function
and operate in the proper sequence
.
Low water temperature cutout: Verify that low water
temperature cut-out controls are provided for the
outdoor portion of the loop. Otherwise, operating
problems may occur.
System control center: Verify that the control center
and alarm panel have appropriate setpoints and are
operating as designed.
Miscellaneous: Note any questionable aspects of the
installation.
CAUTION!
Verify that ALL water control valves are open and
allow water
fl
ow prior to engaging the compressor. Freezing
of the coax or water lines can permanently damage the heat
pump.
NOTICE! Failure to remove shipping brackets from
spring-mounted compressors will cause excessive
noise, and could cause component failure due to
added vibration.
CAUTION!
To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT
leave system
fi
lled in a building without heat during the
winter unless antifreeze is added to the water loop. Heat
exchangers never fully drain by themselves and will freeze
unless winterized with antifreeze.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
WARNING!
Polyolester Oil, commonly known as POE oil, is
a synthetic oil used in many refrigeration systems including
those with HFC-410A refrigerant. POE oil, if it ever comes
in contact with PVC or CPVS piping, may cause failure of
the PVC/CPVC. PVC/CPVC piping should never be used
as supply or return water piping with water source heat
pump products containing HFC-410A as system failures and
property damage may result.
WARNING!
