10. Mollier diagram
Mollier diagrams for a refrigerant are often use to
demonstrate the operating cycle for a compres-
sion heat pump. They plot the pressure p against
the specific enthalpy h for the refrigerant (en-
thalpy is a measure of heat content in the refrig-
erant and always increases with increasing pres-
sure and gas content).
In addition the isotherms (T = const.) and isen-
tropes (S = const) are given as well as the relative
mass content of the liquid phase. Left of the so-
called boiling line, the refrigerant is fully liquefied.
To the right of the so-called saturated vapour line,
the refrigerant will exist as overheated vapour.
Between the lines the refrigerant will be in a mix-
ture of liquid and gas states. Both lines intersect
at the critical point.
See Fig.7 on page 8.
11. Changing the battery
Remove the cover at the rear of the thermom-
eter and take out the flat batteries.
Insert new batteries, making sure that their
polarity is correct.
Close the cover again afterwards.
During prolonged periods of disuse, remove
the batteries.
Do not dispose of the batteries in the regular
household garbage. Follow the applicable le-
gal regulations (UK: Waste Batteries and Ac-
cumulators Regulations, EU: 2006/66/EC).
12. Storage, care and maintenance
The heat pump is maintenance-free.
Keep the heat pump in a clean, dry and dust-
free place.
Before cleaning the equipment, disconnect it
from its power supply.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean it.
13. Disposal
For any necessary repairs, returns etc., the
heat pump needs to be packaged in its origi-
nal box standing upright on its one-way pallet.
For this reason you should not dispose of the
original box or pallet.
Should you need to dis-
pose of the heat pump
itself, never throw it
away in normal domes-
tic waste. Local regula-
tions for the disposal of
electrical
equipment
will apply.
Do not dispose of the batteries in the regular
household garbage. Follow the applicable le-
gal regulations (UK: Waste Batteries and Ac-
cumulators Regulations, EU: 2006/66/EC).
