4 Water Pipework
4.1 Water Circuit Checks
Hydronic box are equipped with a water inlet and outlet for connecon to a water circuit. Heat Pump Split units should
only be connected to closed water circuits. Connecon to an open water circuit would lead to excessive corrosion of the water
piping. Only materials complying with all applicable legislaon should be used. Before connuing installaon of the unit, check
the following:
The maximum water pressure ≤ 3 bar.
The maximum water temperature ≤ 70°C according to safety device seng.
Always use materials that are compable with the water used in the system and with the materials used in the unit.
Ensure that components installed in the eld piping can withstand the water pressure and temperature.
Drain taps must be provided at all low points of the system to permit complete drainage of the circuit during maintenance.
Air vents must be provided at all high points of the system. The vents should be located at points that are easily accessible for
service. An automac air purge is provided inside the unit. Check that this air purge valve is not ghtened so that automac
release of air in the water circuit is possible.
4.2 Water volume and sizing expansion vessels
The units are equipped with an expansion vessel of 8L that has a default pre-pressure of 1.5 bar. To assure proper operaon of the
unit, the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel might need to be adjusted.
Check that the total water volume in the installaon, excluding the internal water volume of the unit, is at least 40L.
Expansion vessel volume must t the total water system volume.
To size the expansion for the heang and cooling circuit. The expansion vessel volume can follow the gure below:
Notes:
In most applicaons this minimum water volume will be sasfactory.
In crical processes or in rooms with a high heat load though, extra water might be required.
When circulaon in each space heang loop is controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that this minimum
water volume is kept even if all the valves are closed.
