Connect the heat pump to the heating
circuit
b
Caution!
Risk of damage caused by condensation
water.
Condensation can cause corrosion.
>
Insulate all of the pipes in the heating
circuit using vapour diffusion-tight insu-
lation.
b
Caution!
Risk of damage caused by overpressure
in the heating circuit.
During operation, overpressure may occur
in the heating circuit.
>
Fit an expansion vessel and an expansion
relief valve in the heating circuit, as
required below.
For installing the heating installation, EN 12828 requires the
following:
– a filling valve, in order to fill the heating installation with
water or to be able to drain water (installed in the unit at
the factory).
– a diaphragm expansion tank in the return of the heating
circuit,
– a safety overpressure valve (at least DN 20, opening
pressure 3 bar) with a pressure gauge (safety group) in
the supply of the heating circuit, immediately behind the
heat pump,
– an air/dust separator in the return of the heating circuit.
a
Danger!
Risk of scalding from steam or hot water.
If there is overpressure, steam and/or hot
water is blown out via the blow-off line of
the safety overpressure valve.
>
Install a blow-off line the same size as
the outlet opening in such a way that
there is no risk to people caused by
steam and/or hot water when it is blown
out.
>
Install the blow-off line in a frost-free environment
so that it always remains easily accessible and visible.
We recommend that you install a Vaillant safety group and
a drain pipe.
>
Fit the heating flow and return and all the components.
>
Dimension and fit an external heating circuit pump
(to be fitted on-site).
>
If required, fit a heating/cylinder charging diverter valve
(to be fitted on-site).
>
Connect the flow pipe (

Vaillant recommends that you install the Vaillant heat pump
brine filling unit. By doing this, it is then possible to carry
out a preparatory partial bleed of the brine circuit, e. g. the
flow and return lines of the brine circuit to the unit.

When installing this, observe the
¬ installation instruc-
tions
for the heat pump brine filling unit.
