5.3.1 Performance Assumptions:
Heating Capacity
The unit absorbs energy from the air taken in through the inlet ductwork. If the air inlet temperature is low,
heating capacity will show a variation from standard conditions.
3 Minutes Protection
When the unit stops, if you try to immediately restart the unit or turn on the manual switch, the unit will not run
for 3 minutes. This is built in protection for the compressor.
Heating Mode Operating
If the ambient temperature is very high, to protect the unit, the fan motor will stop running.
Defrosting
When in heating mode, the unit will defrost automatically, if required. The fan motor will stop running when the
unit is defrosting.
Working Conditions
The unit should be run in ambient temperatures of 0-40 deg. The unit includes sophisticated electronic devices -
do not fill the Ecocent with water from a lake, river water or groundwater and be sure to put an inline strainer
(open vented) and scale inhibitor in the cold water feed- failure to do so will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
Standing Heat Losses
The amount of heat that the Ecocent loses through convection to the surrounding area (standing heat loss) is
dependent on a number of things including, for example, the target temperature (see section 8), the ambient air
temperature surrounding the unit and the number of secondary coils (and, therefore, tappings) on the unit. The
target temperature is an end user choice and the ambient temperature will depend on location; clearly if the unit
is in and ‘airing cupboard’, the ambient temperature will be more than if it is located in, say, a utility room; the
higher the ambient air temperature, the lower the rate of heat loss. However, an illustrative heat loss for the
Ecocent is as follows in an ‘average’ location and a target temperature of 55°C:
