4.3 Water Circuit Connecon
Water connecons must be made correctly in accordance with the labels on the hydronic box, with respect to the water inlet
and water outlet. If air, moisture or dust gets in the water circuit, problems may occur. Therefore, always take into account the
following when connecng the water circuit:
Use clean pipes only.
Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs
Cover the pipe end when inserng it through a wall to prevent dust and dirt entering.
Use a good thread sealant for sealing the connecons. The sealing must be able to withstand the pressures and temperatures
of the system.
When using non-copper metallic piping, be sure to insulate the two kinds of materials from each other to prevent galvanic
corrosion.
For copper is a so material, use appropriate tools for connecng the water circuit. Inappropriate tools will cause damage to
the pipes
4.4 Water Circuit An-freeze Protecon
Ice formaon can cause damage to the hydronic system. All internal hydronic parts are insulated to reduce heat loss.
Insulaon must also be added to the eld piping.
The soware contains special funcons using the heat pump to protect the enre system against freezing.
When the temperature of the water ow in the system drops to a certain value, the unit will heat the water, either using
the heat pump, the electric heang tap, or the backup heater. The freeze protecon funcon will turn o only when the
temperature increases to a certain value.
In event of a power failure, the above features would not protect the unit from freezing.
Since a power failure could happen when the unit is unaended, the supplier recommends use an-freeze uid to the water
system.
Depending on the expected lowest outdoor temperature, make sure the water system is lled with a concentraon of glycol as
menoned in the table below. When glycol is added to the system, the performance of the unit will be aected. The correcon
factor of the unit capacity, ow rate and pressure drop of the system is listed in the table 3-4.1 and 3-4.2
