prevent air re-circulation.
Positioning the heat pump in a
confined space, frost hollow or well
will result in reduced heat pump
operating efficiency.
The fan should preferably not face
prevailing winds to ensure correct
air flow through the evaporator.

pump for ventilation and maintenance
Although the heat pump is within
noise and vibration regulations
outlined in MCS 007, it is
recommended to avoid positioning it
close to bedroom windows, as the
fan and compressor may be
operational at night.
3.5.2 Heat pump placement and fixing
Approximately 2 litres of condensate
water is drained from the system
every time a defrost cycle occurs.
Therefore, it is essential that the
condensate pipe is fed into a drain
or soak away to allow for safe
disposal of the excess water, away
from footpaths or patios.
The condensate pipe must be kept
frost free. Freezing of this pipe due
to incorrect installation can result in
irreparable damage and void
warranty.
