Caution:
This reduces the risk of the heat exchanger
freezing but does not warrant 100% protec-
tion.
Prevent the heat exchanger from freezing:
- Provide for constant circulation of the
water at the right temperature.
- Add glycol to the water when the unit is
not in operation during the wintertime.
2.9.3 Connecting water pipes
1 Lay the water pipes, and connect them to
the screwed or compression fittings.
c
Caution:
Tighten the compression fittings well.
2 Fill the CH and/or CW system.
