Installation suggestions
IMPORTANT!
The type of system described below could lead to
lime scale forming in the water/refrigerant heat
exchanger. It is therefore recommended to adopt
the most suitable measures to limit this
phenomenon.
When operating as a heat pump, it is advisable to
drain the recovery circuit.
(*) In the case of hot water for human consumption, an intermediate exchanger (BL) should be installed for hygienic reasons (BL). For the same reason,
it is important not to forget to periodically raise the water temperature in the tank in order to disinfect against bacteria such as Legionella Pneumophila.
(**) It is advisable to use a three-way mixer valve to guarantee the minimum recovery (RC100) or desuperheater (DS) inlet temperature.
Particular attention must be paid to the system operating pressure,
which must not exceed the values indicated on the plate of the
individual components and must be within limits so as to prevent the
water in the recovery unit from boiling.
Continuous circulation of water through the recovery unit or the
desuperheater must be guaranteed by means of mixing units.
