IINSTALLATION OF THE HEAT PUMP
The heat pump can be used using the ambient air
or
air from other premises. The
heat pump must be installed
in
afrost-free room. When selecting aplace for
installation, particular attention should be paid that the selected air intake location
is
dust free, because dust has adverse effects on the heat pump performance. When
selecting the place
of
installation, pay attention to the solidity
of
the wall -can it take
the weight
of
the heat pump together with the weight
of
the water inside the boiler?
Take all the necessary precautions to prevent the operation noise and vibrations from
transferring through the walls to the premises where this would be disturbing
(bedrooms, rest areas). Do not install the heat pump and its air intake
in
premises
with other air consumption appliances (gas boilers, solid-fuel fireplaces, dust
extraction appliances etc.) During installation, please bear
in
mind the minimum
distances from the wall, ground and ceiling. The cOndensate outlet from the heat
pump
is
placed on the bottom left side
in
the form
of
aplastic tube with an external
diameter
of
018 mm. This tube should be connected to the external condensate
outlet pipe and led to the sewage system or acontainer. The quantity
of
condensate
depends on air temperature and humidity when the heat pump is
in
operation.
To prevent pressure depression
in
the
bUilding, fresh air must be regularly
supplied to the premises. The desired
rate
of
air exchange for aresidential
building
is
0.5. This means that the
entire quantity
of
air
in
the building
is
exchanged every two hours.
Connecting the heat pump to the same
pipeline as the kitchen extractor fan
or
taking air out
of
several smaller
apartments or suites is not allowed.

To minimize the transfer
of
noise and vibrations through walls into the premises
where this would be disturbing (bedrooms, rest areas), please take the following
measures:
-install flexible joints for hydraulic connections
-install aflexible tube for the pipeline
of
inlet/outlet air
-plan vibration insulation for wall openings
-plan noise dampers for inlet/outlet air
-pipelines for inlet/outlet air should be attached using noise dampers
-plan vibration insulation against the wall
