1.4 Refrigerant circuit – description

The cooling system is used for processing the heat in the inlet air. This is the manner by which the extracted heat is transferred to the water. This process is only possible with the external addition of energy, which takes place in the compressor.

In the vaporiser, heat is absorbed from the air and refrigerant in gaseous form and fed to the compressor. In the compressor, the refrigerant is raised up to a higher pressure and energy level, so it can deliver the heat to the water through the condenser pipe, which is coiled around the tank. The condensed coolant fluid is throttled down to a lower pressure using the expansion valve so it becomes possible to repeat the cooling cycle in the vaporiser.

3.1 Water connection

During installation, regard must be paid to the dimensions of the pipes with respect to the pre-existing water pressure and the pressure loss in order to ensure sufficient pressure and water flow rates at the draw-off point.

The maximum working pressure is 10 bars, and the maximum operating temperature is 65°C. If necessary, the supply pipe must be equipped with a pressure reduction valve and possibly a filter.

As for all pressure vessels, the Vanvex R’s connections must also be equipped with an approved safety valve on the service side and an approved check valve on the supply side.

All pipe work must comply with water safety regulations.

60 mm

If mounting of the air trap is omitted, water damage or damage to the Vanvex Lite can arise!

If the air trap is not correctly mounted, the warranty will not apply!

3.4 Air intake and exhaust

Make sure that there is sufficient free-space around the

Vanvex R.

3.2 Placement of pipe connections

Hot water outlet is mounted on the upper connecting branch. (¾” RG)

If the unit is used with the circulation of the hot water supply, the middle connecting branch is used as a return path. (¾” RG)

Inlet of fresh cold water is mounted on the bottom connecting branch. (¾” RG)

It is recommended to use 3/4 flextube for the connection of the

Waterconnection, to avoid possible sound from the vibration.

No holes for fittings or the like may be drilled in the product!

Such would be able to damage the functionality of the product and cause the product to have to be scrapped!

3.3 Connection of condensation drain

While the Vanvex R is running, some condensation water will occur, which is conducted to the drain connecting branch

(1).

The quantity of condensation water depends upon the humidity of the air going through the inlet to the Vanvex R.

The condensation connecting branch must be equipped with a hose with a tight air trap, and run to a drain. The air trap must contain a water column of at least 60 mm.

It is also possible to use other tight air traps, like a tube with one turn.

Inlet air

The inlet air may not be polluted with aggressive components! (Ammonia, sulphur, chlorine etc.)

Parts in the system may be damaged.

Air connectors

Inlet and outlet ducts must be made of smooth pipes to minimize pressure losses. Consider the fan working pressure and the duct resistance during installation. (See technical data).

It is advised to install the air ducts that are placed near the heating pump, levelled or with a light fall towards the extract air outlet to avoid leaking of condensed water, easy to cut of.

This will avoid leaking of condensed water from the ducts.

When air ducts are placed outside the building the back pressure valve (with a small resistance) should be placed to ensure no cold air is entering the room in the winter time and when the heating pump is standing still.

The heating pump may only be used with the tank filled up!

The unit must always be disconnected from the power before the front door is removed. When the unit is disconnected from the power please wait until the fan has stopped before opening the front doors!

Before starting up the unit please ensure that all cables and electric plugs are connected correctly and the cable and plug between the display in the door and the circuit board are connected!

It is advised to insulate all ducts to lower heat loss and to lower the noise level.

3.5 Checking

After the installation, it is recommended that the checks be performed to ensure that the connections are sealed and that the drainage of the condensation water is unobstructed.

Installation Manual

4. Placement into service / operation

The heat pump may only be started with a full water tank!

The unit must always be disconnected from the power supply when the front cover is opened!

When the unit is disconnected, wait for the fan to stop completely before the cover is opened!

Before starting the unit makes sure all connectors are in place, and make sure the cable between display and controller is mounted correctly!

4.1 Demands to the hot water circuit

In the hot water system the following materials may be used:

- Copper

- Stainless steel

- Brass

- Plastics

Depending on the used materials in the water circuit (in the house) wrong combinations of materials may lead to corrosion damages. Special attention is required when using galvanized steel or aluminium materials.

4.2 Starting to use of the water circuit

- Fill the tank using the valve on the supply line, and let the air out through one of the upper hot tap water valves until air no longer is present in the tapped water.

- Check the entire water circuit for tightness.

- Connect the heat pump to the power supply.

After starting to use the system the entire water circuit must be checked for tightness.

4.6 Hints for energy savings

Do not set the water temperature higher than necessary.

The best utilisation of the Vanvex Lite occurs at low water temperatures.

The use of circulation will increase the energy consumption of the heat pump significantly.

4.7 Hints for fan operation

When using ductwork it may be necessary to run the fan on a higher speed to compensate for the pressure losses.

4.8 Checking

After completing installation it is advised to check all connections etc. to ensure they are tight and to check that condensate water can flow to the drain unrestricted.

For servicing please refer to user manual.

5. Service / Maintenance

For maintenance, refer to the operating instructions.

4.3 Placement into service of the water circuit

Fill the container via the connecting branch, and aerate the tank by letting one of the hot water taps located at the highest elevation within the dwelling stand open until air no longer comes out with the water.

The container can normally hold 290 litres of water.

Check the entire circuit to be sure it is sealed.

4.4 Electricity – connecting

Connect the Vanvex Lite to the public electrical grid.

4.5 The cooling circuit
