4. INSTALLATION WORKS

4.1. Before installation

Pipe assemblies for the installation of the Lämpöässä system may only be
installed by qualified and trained persons. The equipment must be installed
in compliance with instructions provided; after performance of installation
works, the installation checklist must be reviewed in order to minimise
potential errors. The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any equip

ment defects or related expenses caused through installation faults.

Check that:

•

all the necessary hoses and sensors have been delivered

•

the ground source heat pump has been correctly fitted

•

the connections on top of the geothermal heat pump are intact

•

the fuse size is correct for the master fuse and the ground source
heat pump (see technical specifications)

•

the ground circuit collection piping and supply piping have been
installed properly

4.1.1. Transport

The Lämpöässä geothermal heat pump must always be transported in a
vertical position. If tilting the equipment is unavoidable, for example, to
pass through a doorway, the maximum tilting angle allowed is 45°. In
other cases, the machine’s compressor unit must be detached during tilt

ing.

he equipment may be moved from beneath using a fork lift, for

example. Do not go underneath the
equipment while it is being lifted!

A transportation platform has been
fastened  on  both  sides  of  the
ground  source  heat  pump  using
screws.  The  ground  source  heat
pump’s accessory package includes
adjustable  feet  to  be  screwed  into
the unit bottom (see picture). After

that, remove the wooden platform elements and their fixation screws (4
pc). To remove the platform, lift the equipment by a fork lift, for
example.

4.1.2. Ground source heat pump installation area

We recommend that the Lämpöässä ground source heat pump be installed
in  a  warm  room  with  floor  drain.  During  installation,  when  filling  the
ground  circuit,  some  water/ethanol  or  water/glycol  mixture  may  be
splashed onto the floor. The chosen area does not have to be fireproof.
Approx.  30  cm  of  installation  space  should  be  reserved  above  the
equipment.

The floor must be able to withstand the weight of the ground source heat
pump carrying a full storage tank (= own  500 kg). The floor
must  also  be  sufficiently  even,  because  the  ground  source  heat  pump
must  be  installed  as  level  as  possible.  Final  adjustments  can  be  made
using the adjustable underneath the equipment.

4.1.3. Removing the packaging

Remove the plastic wrapping and corner padding from around the prod

uct. Check that the pump has not suffered any transportation damage. If
the heat pump is found to be damaged, the transport company must be
immediately notified.

Also check the contents of the delivery immediately. The Lämpöässä Vmi
series accessory package includes the following components:

•

flexible ground circuit hose (approx. 600 mm) – 2 pc.

•

outdoor sensor

•

adjustable foot (4 pc.)

•

shut-off valve 1”

If some of the accessories specified in the order are not included in the
delivery, notify the equipment dealer within five days.
