Ice On The Finned Heat Exchanger - Steinbach BP-39WS-B Mini Manual Original

Risk of fire and explosion through leaking finned heat exchanger!
The coolant circuit of the finned heat exchanger contains highly
pressurised, easily flammable, odourless gas. Risk of fire and
explosion in the event of uncontrolled coolant leaks.
- Keep the heat pump away from heat sources and naked flames.
- Do not drill into or scorch the heat pump.
- Do not use any objects apart from those permitted by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
- Immediately shut off the heat pump if you suspect a coolant leak.
- The coolant is odourless. Always keep ignition sources away from
the installation site of the heat pump.
- Contact an authorised expert if you suspect a coolant leak.
- Observe the national regulations on gas.
- All persons involved in work on the refrigerant circuit must have a
valid certificate from an industry accredited certification body
that ensures competence in handling refrigerants according to a
specific assessment recognized by industry associations.

Ice on the finned heat exchanger

During operation of the heat pump, a layer of ice from condensation water may form on
the finned heat exchanger. This phenomenon is to be expected. Depending on the
ambient conditions, it is possible that the ice layer that has formed might not be
completely defrosted by the automatic defrosting feature, resulting in reduced output
and damage to the heat pump.
