4.4 Filling procedure
● DO NOT turn on any heat source connected to the storage tank until it is filled.
●
Ensure that all installation, electrical and safety requirements have been met.
●
Check all plumbing and electrical connections are properly connected.
●
Make sure that unused connections are closed with sealing plugs.
● Open the bleed valve on the set which is connected to the tank and start filling
slowly.
● Let the unit fill. Allow the water to run for a period to flush connecting pipework,
checking the bleed valve periodically.
●
Close the bleed valve.
●
Open all water outlets connected to the tank to ensure residual air is eliminated
from the installation.
●
Close all water outlets and check for water leaks in the system.
●
Fill any circuits connected to the tank and purge accordingly.
●
Test manually the pressure regulating valve and the safety valves on each hydrau-
lic circuit.
4.5 Emptying procedure
●
Check that the heat source connected to the boiler and any loose electrical con-
nections are off.
●
Disconnect the water supply to the tank.
●
Open a bleed valve on the set connected to the tank to allow the entry of air into
the system.
●
Open the discharge of the system, paying attention to the high temperature of the
water outlet as it could cause damage to property or persons.
4.6 Maintenance procedure
●
Check periodically (at least once a year) the smooth operation of the safety valve.
●
In DHW tanks, always install a passive cathodic protection (magnesium anode)
or active (impressed current anode) and check periodically, at least twice a year,
wear a sacrificial magnesium anode or the presence of power supply on the anode
impressed current; an anode of magnesium, which has consumed more than 60%,
should be replaced.
●
Inspect all water connections for leakage every year.
● Dismantle the flange with the DHW heater and clean the bottom tank internally
every other year if the water quality is poor.
●
Test safety thermostat and check electrical connections for DHW heater every year.
●
Leak search refrigerant connections at the top of the tank for heat pump every year.
●
Leak search refrigerant hose from double coil every year.
●
Inspect the coil and clean it if necessary every other year.
●
Test run the heat pump and check sensor info parameters.
●
Check outdoor unit procedures referenced to the service manual for the outdoor unit.
