Figure 1.7. Minimum recommended service areas around the heat pump (amounts in mm).
The space needed at the back of the heat pump can be either 50 mm or 300 mm, depending on which pipe connection alternative is
chosen, top or rear, respectively.
3. Hydraulic installation
The installation schemes included from here on should be considered simply as a guide.
The design of the hydraulic installation must be performed by qualified personnel and in accordance
with applicable local regulations.
3.1. General instructions
The following recommendations should be taken into consideration for proper hydraulic installation.
Avoid excessive strain between the pipes and the heat pump connections to prevent leaks and/or transmission of vibrations.
Flexible hoses should be used for heat pump connections.
Install cut-off valves at all the hydraulic connections to facilitate future maintenance tasks.
Install traps at all the installation points where air pockets can form.
Place heat insulation on all circuit pipes to prevent unnecessary heat loss. Pay special attention to the heating insulation on
the brine circuit pipes, since these can reach temperatures below 0ºC, causing condensation and/or frost.
During installation work on the hydraulic circuits, take special care to prevent liquid from spilling on the
internal electrical heat pump components, which could cause personal injury due to electrocution
and/or poor equipment operation.
