Heat Pump Installation
This heat pump requires good air flow through the fin coils for maximum efficiency. Also, hotter outside air
temperature in cooling mode and colder outside air temperature in heating mode will reduce performance of the heat
pump. Therefore, the hot/cold discharged air in cooling/heating modes from the heat pump should not be allowed to
deflect back to the air inlet.
Please keep enough space around the heat pump for repairs and maintenance.
Installation Considerations:
• The installation position should have good ventilation.
• The installed heat pump should not make extraneous noises or rattling sounds.
• Try to minimize direct sunlight onto the unit.
• Water from rain or defrost mode will be discharged through a drain hole in the base plate. So unit must be
raised in freezing climates to avoid ice build up.
• The outlet air position should not face into a prevailing wind direction or this will reduce performance
efficiency.
• Try to site the heat pump so the outlet air does not discharge directly onto a fence or towards a neighbor.
• The installation position should not be located next to flammable or explosive materials, or open flames.
• The heat pump should be protected from oil (such as engine oil in a factory environment), salt (such as sea spay
or salty air) and/or sulphides (that may be present in the air from industrial activity or a thermal spring).
• The heat pump should ideally be installed on a raised stand, preferably secured to a concrete pad. Alternately,
the heat pump can be installed on a balcony, ledge, wall or roof provided there is a suitable load-bearing
platform in place capable of supporting the weight of the unit and not transmitting vibration noise.
