Economical and environmentally-conscious heating

The burning of fossil-based energy sources in order to generate power creates severe consequences for the environment. A high percentage of fossil fuels is also problematic due to the limited resources of oil and gas and the price increases resulting from this. For this reason, many people today are thinking both economically and environmentally-consciously in terms of heating. The application of heat pump technology enables both of these concepts to be combined. It makes use of the energy which is permanently available in the air, water and soil and converts it into usable heating energy by means of inputting electrical energy. Yet in order to generate heat equivalent to

4kWh, only 1kWh of electricity is required. The rest is made available free-of-charge by the environment.

Heat source

There are essentially three heat sources that heat pumps can derive energy from. air, soil and groundwater. Air heat pumps have the advantage that air as a source heat is available everywhere in

unlimited quantities that can be used free of

charge. A disadvantage is that the outside air is at its coldest when the heat requirement is greatest.

Brine heat pumps extract energy from the soil. This is undertaken in serpentine pipe networks which are laid approx. 1m deep or placed by means of drilling. The disadvantage is the large space

requirements for the serpentine pipe networks or the high cost of drilling. A long-term cooling of the soil is also a possibility.

26

Water heat pumps require two wells in order to obtain heat from the groundwater, one supply well and one dry well. The development of this source is not possible everywhere, it is expensive and requires planning permission.

Function of the heat pump

A heat pump is a device which makes use of a working medium to absorb ambient heat under low temperatures and transports this heat to a place where it can be of use for heating purposes. Heat pumps work according to the same principles as a refrigerator. The difference is that heat, the byproduct of the refrigerator, is the goal of the heat pump.

The main components of the cooling circuit consist of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve. In a finned evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates both because of lower pressure and because of lower heat-source temperatures through absorption of energy from the environment. In the compressor, the refrigerant is

A

1 brought to a higher pressure and temperature by the application of electrical energy. Next, the hot refrigerant gas reaches the condenser, a plate heat-exchanger. Here the hot gas condenses, transferring heat to the heating system. The liquefied refrigerant then expands and cools in a flow regulator, the expansion valve. Then the refrigerant flows into the evaporator once more and the cycle is complete.

For control, a Smart-Control is included which ensures the independent operation of all safety devices. The water-circulation system of the Series

WKF consists of a circulation pump, plate heatexchangers, dirt traps, safety valve, a manometer, fill- and drain valves, an automatic air-bleeder and flow switch. The WKF-compact series has, in addition, a 3-way changeover valve and a domestic hot water storage.

Wall- and floor consoles, condensate pans, condensate tray with heating, a 3-way changeover valve, a overflow protection valve and other sensors are available as accessories.

Heat pump modes

Heat pumps can work in various operating modes.

Monovalent

The heat pump the only source of heat for a building all year round. This mode is particularly suitable for heating plants with low supply-water temperatures and is primarily used in combination with brine/water and water/water heat pumps.

Single energy source

The heat pump has an E-heater to handle peak loads. The heat pump covers the majority of the required heating power. Occasionally, when it is extremely cold outside, an electrical boosterheating system switches on as required in order to support the heat pump.

Bivalent parallel

The heat pump provides the entire heating energy down to a predetermined outdoor temperature. If the temperature drops below this value, a second heat source switches on to support the heat pump.

There is a distinction to be made here between

alternative operation with oil- or gas heat and

regenerative operations with solar energy or wood-fired heating. This mode is possible for all heating systems.

Layout

A precise calculation of the building's heating load according to EN 12831 is required for the design and dimensioning of a heating system. However, approximate requirements can be determined based on the year of construction and the type of building. The table

Ä on page 29 shows the

approximate specific heating loads for a number of building types. The required heating system output can be calculated by multiplying the area to be heated with the given values

For a precise calculation, various factors must be considered. The transmission-heat requirement, the infiltration heat-loss and an allowance for water heating comprise the total heating output which the heating system must provide.

The total area of the floor surfaces, exterior wall windows, doors and roofing is required in order to determine the transmission heat requirement. In addition, information about the materials used in the building is required, as these lead to extremely varied thermal transmission coefficients (the so called K value). Also required are the room temperature and the standard outdoor temperature, that is, the lowest outdoor-temperature on average that will occur during the year. The equation for calculating the transmission-heat requirement is

Q=A x U x (t

R

-t

A

) and must be calculated separately for all room-enclosure surfaces.

The infiltration heat requirement takes into consideration how often the heated room air is exchanged for cold external air. The room volume

(V), the air exchange frequency (n) and the specific heat capacity (c) of the air is also required in addition to the room temperature and average low temperature. The equation is: Q=V x n x c (t

R

-t

A

).

An approximate allowance for heating water - per person according to VDI 2067: 0.2 kW

Example

A residential home comprised of 150 m² livingspace and a heat requirement of 80 W/m² has been selected for the example design. A total of five persons live in the house. The heat load amount to 11.5 kW. Adding a drinking water allowance of 0.2 kW results in a required heat capacity of 12.5 kW. Depending on the power company, an additional charge must then be made in order to factor in the service time-out period. The rating and determination of the heat pump's balance-point temperature derives graphically from the heat pump's temperature-specification heat-output diagram. (In the example, 35 °C for a floor heatingsystem). Next, the heat load for the standard outdoor temperature (the lowest temperature of the year locally) and the heat threshold are marked on the graph. The outdoor-temperature-dependent heating requirement, simplified here as a straightline relationship between heat-load and the start of the heating season, is recorded in the graph of heat-load curves. The intersection of the two straight lines with the rated heat-load curve is plotted on the X axis, where the balance-point temperature is read. (in the example, ca.-3°C) The least load of the 2nd heat source is the difference between heat load and the heat pump's maximum heat output on these days. (In the example, the capacity necessary to cover peak loads is ca. 3 kW.)

Characteristics of REMKO inverter heat pumps

Outdoor air as a heat source

An air/water heat pump absorbs energy from the outdoor air as its heat source and transmits this to the heating system. They have the following advantages over brine/water and water/water heat pump systems: n Can be used everywhere Air is available everywhere in unlimited quantities. For example, no wells are required.

n No excavation required. No large areas are required for soil collectors.

n Economical. Expensive drilling is not required.

n Excellent value for money and simple installation.

n Particularly suitable for low-energy houses with low inlet temperatures.

n Ideal for bivalent operation, in order to save energy.

REMKO WKF / WKF-compact

Split AC unit

The REMKO inverter heat pump is a so called split

AC unit. This means that it consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, both of which are connected via refrigerant-carrying copper pipes. Thus there are no water-carrying pipes laid from the indoors to outdoors which need to be made frost proof. The outdoor unit contains only the condenser, the evaporator and the expansion valve.

This means that the outdoor unit is considerably smaller. The indoor module contains the system's condenser and the connections for the heating network.

specified temperature and turns off when this temperature is reached. This kind of heat regulation is very inefficient. Heat regulation in the Remko inverter heat pump is modulated to the actual need. The electronics system has an integrated frequency-converter which serves to modify the condenser speed and the speed of the blower as required. The condenser works at a higher speed when under full load than under partial load. The lower speeds ensure a longer operational lifetime for the components, improved coefficient of performance and lower noise. Lower speeds also result in lower energy consumption (electricity) and longer service life. I.e.: inverter heat-pumps will run practically throughout the heating season. In all, the highest efficiency possible.

REMKO inverter technology

The heat pump's condenser is equipped with a requirement-dependent speed control system. The power control on conventional heat pumps provides only two states, either ON (full output) or

OFF (no output). The heat pump turns on below a

Minimal temperature fluctuations mean energy savings

When it is switched on, the inverter only requires one-third of the time of conventional systems

Time

Thanks to innovative inverter technology, this heat pump will almost always operate by adapting its heating capacity to the actual requirements of the heating season, and will in fact turn itself off when heat is no longer needed. The same applies in the opposite direction with cooling.

Defrost by circulation reversal

At temperatures below about +5°C, humidity freezes in the evaporator (outdoor module) and an ice layer can form which reduces heat transfer from the air to the refrigerant and to the air stream.

This layer of ice must be removed. A four-way valve serves to reverse the refrigerant circuit, so that the hot gas from the compressor flows through the original evaporator and the ice that has formed there can melt. The defrost process is not initiated after a predetermined time; rather it is carried out as required in order to save energy.

Cooling mode

Because of circuit reversal, cooling is also possible. In cooling mode, the components of the refrigeration circuit are used to produce cold water with which heat can be extracted from a building.

This can be accomplished with dynamic cooling or passive cooling.

Under dynamic cooling the refrigerating capacity is actively transferred to the indoor air. This is undertaken by means of water-based REMKO fan convectors. In doing so, it is desirable that the inlet temperatures are under the dewpoint, in order to transfer a higher refrigerating capacity and to dehumidify the indoor air.

Passive cooling refers to the absorption of heat via cooled floors, walls or ceiling surfaces. In doing so, water-carrying pipes make the structural sections into thermically effective heat exchangers. In order to achieve this, the refrigerant temperature has to lie above the dew point, in order to avoid the formation of condensation. Dewpoint monitoring is required for this purpose.

We recommend dynamic cooling with fan convectors, in order to achieve increased thermal performance and in order to dehumidify the air on muggy summer days. The advantage here is that dewpoint monitoring is not required.

The comfort zone in the illustration below shows which values for temperature and humidity are considered comfortable for people. This range should ideally be met when heating or air-conditioning buildings.

3.2 WKF series

We offer two different indoor-unit designs. The wall-mounted WKF series is equipped with a circulation pump and a safety module on the water side.

Furthermore, an electrical auxillary heater can be incorporated as an option. The WKF series was constructed for the addition of several heat sources (bivalent installations or systems with solar-heating equipment). External buffer tank is always required, its size depending on the type and the power of the second heat source. On the one hand, the buffer tank prevents short run-times for the heat pump and on the other hand, that sufficient defrosting energy is available.

It may be dispensed with an external buffer tank when the heat pump acting as the sole heat source. Should a second heat source may be used, a buffer tank is needed.

3.3 WKF-compact series

In addition, the indoor module of the WKF-compact series is fitted with an enamelled 300 L domestic water storage. An auxiliary electric heater 9 kW is available optionally. The hot-water buffer tank has a capacity of 160 litres and is integrated as a hydraulic switch. As a result, the WKF-compact series is the ideal equipment when the heat pump is intended as the sole heat source (single energysource operation). A heating circuit pump must be mounted on site.

Single energy-source operation by REMKO Smart-

Serv or bivalent operation by REMKO Smart-BVT is also to realize. All connections are to be installed on top of the device.

Installation, mounting outdoor module

Outdoor module installation location

n The device may be attached only to a loadbearing structure or wall. Ensure that the outdoor module is installed only vertically. The installation site should be well ventilated.

n To minimise noise, install floor consoles with vibration dampers and a considerable distance from acoustically-reflective walls to minimise noise.

n The minimum clearances specified on the next page should be maintained when carrying out the installation. These minimum distances serve to ensure unrestricted air intake and exhaust. Additionally, there must be adequate space available for installation, maintenance and repair.

n

If the outdoor module is erected in an area of strong winds, then the device must be pro-

tected against them (Fig. 35). The snow line is to be observed during installation (Fig. 36).

n

The outdoor module must always be installed on vibration dampers. Vibration dampers prevent the transmission of vibrations through the floor or walls.

Condensate connection

If the temperature falls below the dew point, condensation will form on the finned condenser during

heating operation.

A condensate drip pan should be installed on the underside of the unit to drain any condensate.

n The condensate drain pipe to be installed onsite must be installed with a in cline of at least

2 % for good drainage. If necessary, fit vapour density insulation.

n When operating the system at outdoor temperatures below 4 °C, care must be taken that the condensate line is frost protected. The lower part of the housing and condensate pan are to be kept frost free in order to ensure permanent drainage of the condensate. If necessary, fit supplementary pipe heating.

n

After completed installation, check that the condensate drainage is unobstructed and ensure that the line is leak tight.

NOTICE!

Local regulations or environmental laws, for example the German Water Resource Law

(WHG), can require suitable precautions to protect against uncontrolled draining in case of leakage to provide for safe disposal of escaping refrigerator oil or hazardous media.

NOTICE!

With the connection of an external drain line to the oil separator, it must be kept frost-free.

n We recommend installing a buffer storage unit as a hydraulic switch for hydraulically isolation of the heating circuit.

n Make a pipe-network calculation before installing the heat pump. After installing the heat pump, it is necessary to perform a hydraulic balancing of the heating circuit.

n Protect floor heating systems against excessively high inlet temperatures.

n Do not reduce pipe diameters for the supply and return connections to the heat pump before connecting a buffer tank-unit.

n Plan for air bleed valves and drain-off taps at appropriate places.

n Flush the the system's entire pipe network before connecting the heat pump.

n One or, where necessary, several expansion tanks must be designed for the entire hydraulic system.

n The system pressure of the entire pipe network is to be matched to the hydraulic system and must be checked when the heat pump is turned off. Also update the static-pressure form supplied with the heat pump.

The highly efficient primary pump in the indoor unit can be used as a circulation pump heating cycle and its speed is regulated according to requirements. A pressure loss of max. 80 kPa is made available by the customer. If the pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. Remko KPS 300 must be used as a hydraulic compensator. Then a Remko heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and a mixed heating cycle group, type HGM, are available.

A pressure loss of max. 80 kPa is made available by the customer. If the pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. Remko KPS 300 must be used as a hydraulic compensator. Then a Remko heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and a mixed heating cycle group, type HGM, are available. Moreover, the hot water connections, cold water supply, and circulation are all connected to the indoor unit on the top.

Cooling of the Heat

Pump

Description of the Cooling Installation

Cooling via floor heating cycle

(surface heating cycle)

If the series WKF heat pump is to be used for cooling, then this must be possible via the floor heating cycle. The hydraulic connection is identical to the connection for the heating cycle. If the circuit is used for heating and cooling, it will be connected as presented in the hydraulic circuit diagrams on pages

Ä ‘ WKF hydraulic diagram’ on page 42 and

Ä ‘ WKF-compact hydraulic diagram’ on page 43.

The sensors S12 and S11 measure the inlet and return temperatures.

Cooling via a separate cooling circuit

If a separate cooling circuit should be used with the system in addition to the heating cycles, then a changeover valve (A14) must be installed in the inlet pipe, which is activated with 230 V. This is attached to the controller on A14. In cooling mode, the valve is switched to the cooling circuit AB/A. If no cooling mode is operated, the valve is de-energised at AB/B heating cycle.

It is also recommended to install a 230 V dewpoint monitor with the associated pipe temperature sensors to the feed pipes outside the heat pump. The location should be selected so that it does not favour the temperature falling below the dewpoint.

The dewpoint monitor is wired so that it divides the connector in the feed line to the utility company switch to the controller (input S16) in order to switch of the heat pump.

Cooling without installed cable remote control in the room

If no additional remote control apart from the heat pump is to be installed in the room, the regulation of the minimum inlet temperature is via the outside temperature minus 6 K. It is then essential to mount an additional 230 V dewpoint monitor with associated pipe temperature sensors on the inlet pipes. The location should be selected so that it does not favour the temperature falling below the dewpoint. The dewpoint monitor is wired so that it divides the connector in the feed line to the utility company switch to the controller (input S16) in order to switch of the heat pump.

Cooling via a parallel buffer tank as system boundary

If the system is to be operated with a parallel buffer tank, which acts as system boundary to the consumer circuit, then there is no need to mounted a remote control in the living room, if the regulation of the consuming cooling circuit is operated via an external controller.

Dewpoint control via the Smart Control cable remote control

If the series WKF heat pump is to be used to implement a cooling function, the Smart Control cable remote control must be installed in the selected reference room (e.g. living room). It is recommended that it is mounted on the wall. It must thereby ensured that the room air can freely flow over the remote control. The remote control measures the room temperature and room humidity.

From these it calculates the nominal dewpoint and correspondingly adjusts the cooling water temperature with a sufficient safety margin so that the temperature on the activated room surface as well as the exposed pipes does not fall below the dewpoint.

CAUTION!

The water temperature in the pipes is maintained above the nominal dewpoint temperature by the controller, in order to prevent the formation of condensation on the exposed pipes as well as those concealed under the plaster.

Cooling via setpoint

If no additional remote control is installed in the room, the cooling system can be operate at a setpoint that is above the dewpoint.

7 Corrosion protection

Oxygen always plays a role if metal materials in a heating system corrode. pH values and the salt content also play a major role. The challenge: A licenced plumber who would like to be able to guarantee his customers a hot water heating system not at risk of corrosion from oxygen - without the use of chemicals - must pay attention to the following: n

Correct system design by the heating contractor/planner and n subject to the installed materials: filling the heating system with demineralised softwater or fully deionised water, checking the pH value after 8 to 12 weeks.

See the following table for the requirements in accordance with VDI 2035 Part 1 with regard to total hardness.

Overall output in kW to 50 kW

9.0 for aluminium alloys)

In low-salt water and the correct pH for a short time even to oxygen concentrations up 0.5 mg / l are tolerated.

Water treatment with chemicals

Adding chemicals to treat water should only be done as an exception. VDI 2035 Part 2 requires explicitly under Point 8.4.1 that all water treatment be explained and documented in the system log book. This has reasons: n The improper use of chemicals often leads to the failure of elastomer materials n To blockages and deposits because of sludge formation n To defective floating seals in pumps n To the formation of biofilm which can cause microbial influenced corrosion or significantly impair heat transfer.

Connection of refrigerant lines

8.1 Connection of refrigerant lines

n The outdoor- and the indoor units are connected with two copper pipes of refrigerator quality having the dimensions 3/8" = 9,52 mm and 5/8" = 15,88 mm (REMKO special accessory).

n

Observe the permitted bending radius for the refrigerant pipes during installation in order to prevent kinks. Never bend a pipe twice in the same place in order to prevent embrittlement or crack formation.

n Assure suitable fastening and insulation when laying the refrigerant pipes.

n The copper pipes are to be flared to make the connections to the units. In doing so, check that the flare has the correct shape and suit-

able union nuts. (Fig. 45 to Fig. 47).

Connection to the unit

n Remove the cover panel from the outdoor unit if necessary. It may be necessary to remove the pre-cut bushings.

n Take off the factory-fitted protective caps. You can use the union nuts for additional mounting.

Make sure to slide the union nuts onto the pipe before it is flared.

n Make connections to the device by hand initially, in order to ensure a good fit. Later, tighten the joints with two open-end wrenches

Use one wrench to resist the rotation of the

other (Fig. 48).

NOTICE!

Use only tools which are approved for use in an HVAC environment. (z. B.: bending pliers, pipe/tubing cutters, de-burrers and flaring tools). Do not cut refrigerant pipes with a saw.

NOTICE!

All work must be carried out in a way that prevents dirt, particles, water etc. from entering, refrigerant lines!

8.2

Commissioning the refrigeration system

Leak testing

Once all the connections have been made, the pressure gauge station is attached to the Schrader valve as follows (if fitted): blue = large valve = suction pressure

Once the connection has been made successfully, the leak test is carried out with dry nitrogen. The leak test involves spraying a leak detection spray onto the connections. If bubbles are visible, the connections have not been made properly. In that case, tighten the connection or, if necessary, create a new flange.

Pumping down to vacuum

After completing a successful leak test, the excess pressure in the refrigerant pipes is removed and a vacuum pump with an absolute final partial pressure of min. 10 mbar is used to remove all of the air and empty the pipes. Any moisture present in the pipes will also be removed.

NOTICE!

A vacuum of at least 10 mbar must be produced!

47

REMKO WKF / WKF-compact

The time required to generate the vacuum is dependent on the final pressure pipe volume of the indoor units and the length of the refrigerant pipes.

This always takes at least 60 minutes. Once any foreign gases and humidity have been completely extracted from the system, the valves on the pressure gauge station are closed and the valves on the outdoor component are opened as described in the "Commissioning" section.

Commissioning

NOTICE!

Commissioning should only be performed and documented by specially trained personnel.

Observe the operating manual for the indoor units and outdoor components when commissioning the entire system.

Function test of heating operating mode

1.

Remove the protective caps from the valves.

2.

Start the commissioning procedure by briefly opening the shut-off valves on the outdoor component until the pressure gauge indicates a pressure of approx. 2 bar.

3.

Check all connections for leaks with leak detection spray and suitable leak detectors. If no leaks are found, fully open the shut-off valves by turning them anti-clockwise using a spanner. If leaks are found, draw off the refrigerant and rework the defective connection. It is imperative that the vacuum creation and drying steps are repeated!

4.

Activate the main circuit breaker or fuse (to be provided by the customer).

5.

Program the heat pump manager.

6.

Switching on heating mode

Once all components have been connected and checked, the system can be commissioned. To ensure the proper functioning of the units, a functional check must be performed prior to handover to the operator in order to detect any operational irregularities. This check is dependent on the installed indoor units. The processes are specified in the operating manual for the indoor units being commissioned.

Due to the switch on delay, the compressor will start up a few minutes later.

7.

Check the correct function and settings of all regulation, control and safety devices during the test run.

8.

Measure all cooling data and record the measured values in the commissioning report.

9.

Remove the pressure gauge.

Functional checks and test run

Check the following points: n Leak-tightness of the refrigerant pipes.

n Compressor and fan running smoothly.

n Function test of the indoor units and all program sequences.

n Check of the surface temperature of the suction pipe and that the vaporiser is not overheating. To measure the temperature, hold the thermometer to the suction pipe and subtract the boiling point temperature reading on the pressure gauge from the measured temperature.

n Record the measured temperatures in the commissioning report.

Final tasks

n Use the heat pump manager to set the target temperature to the required value.

n Re-install all disassembled parts.

n Instruct the operator on how to use the units.

NOTICE!

Check that the shut-off valves and valve caps are tight after carrying out any work on the cooling cycle. Use appropriate sealant products as necessary.

48

Adding refrigerant

DANGER!

The connection of refrigerant pipes and the handling of refrigerant may be only be carried out by qualified personnel (competence category I).

DANGER!

Only refrigerant in a liquid state may be used to fill the cooling cycle!

CAUTION!

Danger of injury from refrigerant!

Refrigerant degreases the skin on contact and may cause cold burns.

Therefore:

- Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves when undertaking any work involving refrigerants.

-Safety glasses must be worn to protect the eyes.

NOTICE!

Check the overheating to determine the refrigerant fill quantity.

n The outdoor unit is pre-filled with refrigerant sufficient for a length of ordinary pipe up to 10 metres.

n If the length of any of the pipelines exceeds 10 metres, then an additional filling for each metres of pipe length (basic length) is required.

NOTICE!

The escape of refrigerant contributes to climatic change. In the event of escape, refrigerant with a low greenhouse potential has a lesser impact on global warming than those with a high greenhouse potential. This device contains refrigerant with a greenhouse potential of 1975. That means the escape of 1 kg of this refrigerant has an effect on global warming that is 1975 times greater than 1 kg CO 2 , based on 100 years. Do not conduct any work on the refrigerant circuit or dismantle the device - always enlist the help of qualified experts.

9 Elektrical connection

9.1 General notes

n It is necessary to lay a power-supply cable both to the outdoor unit and, separately, to the indoor unit.

n

Power to the indoor unit may not be disconnected by the power company (frost protection).

n All indoor modules require a single-phase power supply at 230 V / 50 Hz.

The outdoor modules series WKF/WKF-compact 85/120 require a single-phase power supply at 230 V / 50 Hz and the outdoor modules series WKF/WKF-compact 180 require a three-phase power supply at 400 V / 50 Hz.

n

The electrical connection between outdoorand indoor units is made using two-wire control cable.

n Where applicable, a separate three-phase power supply 400 V / 50 Hz shall be provided to the indoor unit for electric booster heating.

n

The Smart-Control needs to know whether a power-company release- or off-period is in effect. An electrically-isolated switch must be installed for this purpose (an closed switch signifies power available, an open switch, offtime).

n In the chapter "Connection diagram, terminal configuration" in this manual can be found a connection schematic along with corresponding circuit diagrams.

n Special rates for heat pumps may be offered by the power company (PSC).

n Ask your local power company about the details of any rates that might be available.

DANGER!

All electrical installation work must be done by an electrician.

WARNING!

Always note the currently applicable VDE guidelines and the notes in TAB 2007. The size and type of the fuse are to be taken from the technical data.

WARNING!

All cable sizes are to be selected according to

VDE 0100. Special attention should be given to cable lengths, cable type and the kind of installation. The information in the connection diagram and in the system overview are to be seen as an acceptable installation possibility only in a standard case!

NOTICE!

Make sure to connect the outdoor unit neutral connector properly, otherwise the varistors on the line-filter circuit board will be destroyed.

Check all plugged and clamped terminals to verify that they are seated correctly and make permanent contact. Tighten as required.

Care and maintenance

Regular care and maintenance serves to ensure trouble-free operation and long service-life of the heat pump system.

Care

n

The indoor and outdoor units must be kept free of soiling, vegetation and other deposits.

n

The device is to be cleaned with a damp cloth.

In doing so, it is to be ensured that no caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning products are used. Use of powerful water jets is to be avoided.

n The fins on the outdoor unit are to be cleaned at least once a year.

Maintenance

n

To perform the possibly statutory seal test, it is necessary to arrange an annual maintenance contract with an appropriate specialist firm.

12 Temporary shut-down

The system may not be switched off at the mains power supply even if the heating system is not used for heating purposes over an extended period

(e.g. holidays)!

n

The system is to be switched to "Stand-by" mode during temporary shut-down periods.

n

Heating phases can be programmed for the duration of the period of absence.

n

The previous operating mode has to be switched back on when the shut-down phase is over.

n Instructions for changing the mode appear in the corresponding chapter of the Smart-Control manual.

NOTICE!

In "Standby" , the heat pump is in standby mode. Of the entire system, only the frost-protection function s activated.

NOTICE!

As the refrigerant capacity exceeds 3 kg, an annual seal inspection must be made of the refrigerant circuit by a firm specializing in this field. A heating system should always be serviced annually. Therefore, we recommend arranging for a service contract that includes the seal inspection.

Power outage, under-voltage

Defective mains fuse Master switch off Exchange mains fuse, master switch on

Damaged mains cable Repair by specialist firm

Power company off-period Wait until the power-company offperiod is over and the heat pump starts up as required

Observe temperature ranges Operational temperature limits too low or too high

Set-point temperature exceeded Incorrect mode

The set-point temperature has to be higher than the heat-source temperature, check mode

Disconnect the outdoor module, then establish the correct clamp order using the connection plan Re-establish voltage to the outdoor module. Also make sure that the protective earth is connected correctly.

Incorrect pump switching

Remedial measures

Check the voltage and, if necessary, wait for it to come back on

Incorrect mode set

Control PCB fuse in indoor module switching cabinet faulty

Incorrect heating program set

Arrange to have pump switching checked in "heating circuit" expert level

Check mode

Exchange the fuse on the left side of the control PCB

Check heating program We recommend the operating mode "heat" in the cold heating season

Observe temperature ranges Temperature overlapping, e.g. external temperature greater than room temperature

13.2 Emergency-heat operation

Should you experience faults with the Smart Control or with the outdoor module during operation of your heat pump system, it is possible to activate a manual emergency-heat operation. To do so, the electric heating coil, internal primary pump, and if necessary the circulation pumps heating cycle must be switched on manually.

To activate emergency-heat operation if the Smart

Control fails, proceed as follows:

1.

Remove the top front panel.

2.

Set the black knob of the electrical terminal box (located on the left-hand side) for the auxiliary heater to "position 2".

3.

Set the thermostat on the electrical terminal box of the auxiliary heater to the desired temperature, e.g. floor heating 35°C, heating element 50°C.

4.

Turn the rotary switch on the primary pump

(Wilo) clockwise to roughly the "5 o'clock" position.

5.

If you are using external heating cycle groups

(pumps), they must also be provided with a separate power supply.

6.

If you are using external heating cycle groups

(pumps), HGU or HGM from Remko, you should also set the rotating wheel on the front of the pump to the "5 o'clock" position.

7.

Remove the servo motor of the three-way changeover valve by pulling out the safety split pin between motor and valve body (see separate "Three-way changeover valve" operating instructions).

8.

Pull the motor away from the valve body.

9.

Turn the cylindrical ball valve in the direction of Outlet B using the round side (floor heating side or heating element).

To switch to providing hot water, proceed as follows:

1.

Turn the cylindrical ball valve in the direction of Outlet A using the round side (domestic water storage tank).

2.

Set the thermostat on the electrical terminal box of the auxiliary heater to the desired temperature, e.g. 50°C.

The following directions of flow must be realised manually:

Valve connection B -- Heating

Valve connection A -- Domestic water storage tank

The respective operating modes must be switched manually!

To activate emergency-heat operation if the out-

door unit fails, proceed as follows:

1.

In the menu of the Smart Control, go to the

………… screen.

2.

Set the bivalence point of the controller above the unit's heating limit.

3.

The electric heating element is then activated.

4.

Check the set temperature on the thermostat of the electric heating element.

5.

If necessary set it above the max. desired temperature (HW target temperature), e.g. if

HW target temperature = 45°C, then heating element = 50°C.

6.

The Smart Control takes full control of heat regulation and the activation of the heating element.

16 General terms

Annual power input factor

The annual power input factor indicates the power input (e.g. electrical energy) required in order to achieve a certain benefit (e.g. heating energy). The annual power input factor includes the energy required for auxiliary drives.

Energy supply company switching

Certain energy supply companies offer special tariffs for the operation of heat pumps.

When switching off the power supply companies only on the barrier is in contact only requirement of a heat source (heat pump) is blocked. Be switched off at monoenergetic operation, the power supply of the electric heating element with.

Bivalent mode

The heat pump provides the entire heating energy down to a predetermined outdoor temperature

(e.g. -3°C). If the temperature drops below this value, the heat pump switches off and the secondary heating appliance takes over the heating, e.g.

a heating boiler.

Evaporator

Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which uses the evaporation of a working medium in order to extract heat from its environment at low temperatures (e.g. the outdoor air).

Coefficient of performance

The current ratio of thermal output produced by the heat pump to the consumed electrical power is referred to as the coefficient of performance, as measured under standardised boundary conditions according to EN 255 / EN 14511. A coefficient of performance of 4 means that a usable thermal output amounting to 4-times the electrical power consumption is available.

Expansion valve

Heat pump component for lowering the condensing pressure on the vapour tension. In addition, the expansion valve regulates the quantity of injected refrigerant in relation to the evaporator load.

Compressor (condenser)

Unit designed for the mechanical conveyance and compression of gasses. Compression serves to significantly increase the pressure and temperature of the medium.

Heat carrier

Liquid or gas medium (e.g. water, brine or air), in which heat is transported.

Condenser

Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which liquefies a working medium in order to transmit heat to its environment (e.g. the heating system).

Heat pump system

A heat pump system consists of a heat pump and a heat source system. For brine and water/water heat pumps, the heat source system must be made available separately.

Heat source

Medium from which the heat pump derives heat, in other words, soil, air and water.

Defrost

At outdoor temperatures below 5°C it is possible that ice may form on the evaporators of air/water heat pumps. The removal of this ice is referred to as defrosting and is undertaken by supplying heat, either regularly or as requirements dictate. Air/ water heat pumps with circuit reversal are distinguished by their requirements-based, quick and energy-efficient defrosting system.

Heating output

Flow of heat emitted from the liquefier to the environment. The heating output is the sum of the electrical power consumed by the condenser and the heat flux obtained from the environment.

Inverter

Power regulator which serves to match the speed of the compressor motor and the speed of the evaporator fans to the heating requirement.

86

Limit temperature / bivalence point

Outdoor temperature where the secondary heating appliance cuts in under bivalent operation.

Monovalent mode

In this mode, the heat pump is the sole heating appliance in the building all year round. Monovalent mode is primarily used in combination with brine/water and water/water heat pumps.

Noise

Noise is transmitted in media such as air or water.

Essentially there are two types of noise, airborne sound and solid-borne sound. Airborne sound is transmitted entirely via the air. Solid-borne sound is transmitted in solid materials or liquids and is only partially radiated as airborne sound. The audible range of sound lies between 20 and

20,000 Hz.

Refrigerant

The working medium used in a refrigerant plant, e.g. heat pump, is referred to as the refrigerant.

The refrigerant is a liquid which is used for thermal transfer in a refrigeration plant and which is able to absorb heat by changing its state at low temperatures and low pressures. A further change of state at higher temperatures and higher pressure serves to dissipate this heat.

Refrigerating capacity

Heat flux extracted from the environment by the evaporator (air, water or soil).

Regulations and guidelines

The erection, installation and commissioning of heat pumps has to be undertaken by qualified specialist engineers. In doing so, various standards and directives are to be observed.

Seal inspection

System operators are obliged to ensure the prevention of refrigerant leakage in accordance with the directive on substances that deplete the ozone layer (EC 2037/2000) and the Regulation on Certain Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (EC

842/2006). In addition, a minimum of one annual service and inspection must be carried out, as well as a sealing test for refrigerating plants with a refrigerant filling weight over 3 kg.

Seasonal performance factor

The seasonal performance factor relates to the ratio of heat content delivered by the heat pump system to the supplied electrical energy in one year. It may not be compared to the performance number. The seasonal performance factor expresses the reciprocal of the annual power input factor.

Single energy-source mode

The heat pump covers a large proportion of the required thermal output. On a few days per year an electrical heating coil supplements the heat pump under extremely low outdoor temperatures. Dimensioning of the heat pump for air/water heat pumps is generally based on a limit temperature (also known as balance point) of approx. -5 °C.

Sound pressure level

The sound pressure level is a comparable characteristic quantity for the radiated acoustic output of a machine, for example, a heat pump. The noise emission level at certain distances and acoustic environments can be measured. The standard is based on a sound pressure level given as a nominal noise level.

Split AC unit

Design where one part of the device is positioned outdoors and the other inside the building. Both units are connected to each other by a refrigerant pipe.

Storage tank

The installation of a hot-water storage tank is generally recommended in order to extend the running time of the heat pump under low heat requirements. A storage tank is required for air/water heat pumps in order to bridge off-periods.
