General
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
applicable regulations. See manual for compatible NIBE
air/water heat pump for installation of the heat pump.
The pipe dimension should not be less than the recom-
mended pipe diameter according to the table below.
However, each system must be dimensioned individually
to achieve the recommended system flows.
MINIMUM SYSTEM FLOWS
The installation must be dimensioned at least to manage
the minimum defrosting flow at 100% pump operation,
see table.
