Install the brine pump (GP16) according to the circulation
pump manual for connection of incoming brine (EP14-
XL6) and (EP15-XL6) between the heat pump and shut-
off valve (see image).
NOTE
Insulate the brine pump against condensation
(do not cover the drainage hole).
EXPANSION VESSEL
The brine circuit must be supplied with a pressure ex-
pansion vessel.
The brine side must be pressurised to at least 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar).
The pressure expansion vessel should be dimensioned
as set out in the following diagram, to prevent malfunc-
tions. The diagrams cover the temperature range from
10 °C to +20 °C at pre-pressure 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) and
the safety valve's opening pressure of 0.3 MPa (3.0
bar).
Ethanol 28% (volume percent)
In installations with ethanol (28% volume percent) as
the brine the pressure expansion vessel must be dimen-
sioned according to the following diagram.
