13 Function check
13.1 Refrigerant circuit
When the heat pump starts and there are quick changes in temperature,
bubbles may become visible in the sight glass Æ Figure 41.
Fig. 41
In the event of constant formation of bubbles:
B Contact a service representative.
13.2 Filling pressure in collector circuit
The level in the vessel should not fall below the min-level 1/3. If the fluid
level is too low fill in as below:
The heat pump must be running all the time while filling.
B Remove the cover on the valve on top of the tank. Now carefully open
the valve.
B Check that the valve is fully open.
B Fill with anti-freeze (to 2/3) with the help of a clean watering can or
similar.
B Close the valve and finish by screwing on the cover.
13.3 Setting heating system operating pressure
B When the gauge is below 0.5 bar (in cold installation): Fill water until
the gauge shows approx 1 bar again.
B If there is a pressure drop: check the expansion vessel and heating
system for leaks.
13.4 Operating temperatures
Check the temperatures in the heat carrier and collector circuit after 10
minutes of operation:
• Temperature difference between heating system flow and return
approx. 7 ... 10 K.
• Temperature difference between collector circuit in and out approx. 2
... 5 K, recommendation: 2 ... 3 K.
When the temperature difference is too small:
B Reduce the speed of the corresponding circulation pump (G2 or G3)
in order to obtain a lower flow.
When the temperature difference is too great:
B Increase the speed of the corresponding circulation pump (G2) in
order to obtain a greater flow.

The refrigerant circuit may only be opened by authorised
service engineers with refrigeration authorisation.
DANGER: Risk of toxic fumes!
The refrigerant circuit contains substances which, when
released or exposed to open fire, can form toxic fumes.
The fumes block the airways even at low concentrations.
B If the refrigerant circuit is not air-tight, the room must
be vacated immediately and properly aired.
