4 START-UP OF THE HEAT PUMP

4.1 Installation Rules

It is necessary to determine the unit location according to certain criteria:
· The unit must be secured on a hard base (concrete or hard steel frame type) and must be protected from flood risks.
· The unit must be installed outside, taking advantage of the sun's direct rays.
· A clear space around the unit of around 0.6 m at the front, adequate room for serviceability, and a minimum of 0.5 m
at the back and sides of the unit must be left.
· If the heat pump is to be installed in a garage or under a vertical overhang, the unit must have a minimum of 2.5
meters clearance from the top of the heat pump.
· The air caused by the helix must be directed away from the limits of the work environment (windows, doors...).
· The minimum distance between the heat pump and the rim of the swimming pool must be at least 3.5 m.
(Electrotechnic Regulations for Low Voltage, Supplementary Technical Instructions, Low Voltage, 31, ITC-BT-31).
· The electrical and hydraulic connections must be made according to the applicable regulations (NF C 15 100, EC 1
364). The ducting for the connections must be fixed.
• During operation of the unit, it is normal that the condensation produced by the evaporation unit will produce a certain
quantity of water which will have to be evacuated. It is important to remember that no part of the tubing or hose may
be above the level of the drain hole in the base of the heat pump.
• This condensation water does not have to be treated in any special manner.
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a deflector if
•
needed.
• Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may run off from a roof into the unit. Sharp
sloping roofs without gutters will allow massive amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from the roof, to be forced
through the unit.

4.2 Hydraulic Connections

Connect the PVC piping water inlets and outlets of the swimming pool to the heat pump inlet and outlet. The connection
will be performed through a by-pass over the filtering circuit of the swimming pool after the filter and before the water
treatment. Adjust the flow so that the arrow of this pressure gauge in the green zone.
