Commissioning

8.1 General Information

To ensure proper commissioning it should be carried out by a
customer service authorised by the manufacturer. This will lead,
under certain circumstances, to an extension of the warranty pe-
riod (cf. Warranty). Start-up should be carried out in heating op-
eration.

8.2 Preparatory Steps

Prior to commissioning, the following items need to be checked:
All connections of the heat pump must have been made as
described in Chapter 7.
The heat source system and the heating circuit must have
been filled and checked.
The strainer must have been fitted in the sole inlet of the
heat pump.
In the brine and heating circuits all valves that might impair
the proper flow must be open.
The settings of the heat pump controller must be adapted to
the heating installation in accordance with the instructions
contained in the controller's operating manual.

8.3 Commissioning Procedure

The start-up of the heat pump is effected via the heat pump con-
troller.
ATTENTION!
Commissioning is to be effected in accordance with the installation and
operating manual of the heat pump controller.
Any malfunctions occurring during operation are displayed on the
heat pump controller and can be corrected as described in the
operating manual of the heat pump controller.

Care/Cleaning

9.1 Care

The heat pump is maintenance-free. To prevent malfunctions
due to sediments in the heat exchangers, care must be taken
that no im-purities can enter the heat source system and the
heating installation. In the event that operating malfunctions due
to contamination occur nevertheless, the system should be
cleaned as described below.

9.2 Cleaning of Heating Side

ATTENTION!
The supplied strainer must be fitted in the heat source inlet of the heat
pump in order to protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities.
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit, in particular
if it contains steel components, may result in the formation of ox-
idation products (rust). These can enter the heating system via
valves, circulating pumps or plastic tubing. It is therefore impor-
tant - in particular with respect to the piping of underfloor heating
systems - that the installation be executed in a diffusion-proof
manner.
ATTENTION!
To prevent the accumulation of deposits (e.g. rust) we recommend using
a suitable corrosion protection system.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the condenser in the heat pump, the system must
be cleaned by a heating technician.
Based on current knowledge, we recommend cleaning with a 5%
phosphoric acid solution or, in the case that cleaning needs to be
performed more frequently, with a 5% formic acid solution.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
It is recommended that the heat exchanger be cleaned in the di-
rection opposite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the circuit of the
heating installation we recommend that the flushing device be fit-
ted directly to the supply and return lines of the condenser of the
heat pump.
Thereafter the system must be thoroughly flushed using appro-
priate neutralising agents in order to prevent any damage caused
by cleaning agent residues that may still be present in the sys-
tem.
All acids must be used with great care, all relevant regulations of
the employers' liability insurance associations must be adhered
to.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the chemicals!

9.3 Cleaning of Heat Source Side

ATTENTION!
The supplied strainer must be fitted in the heat source inlet of the heat
pump in order to protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities.
The filter screen of the strainer should be cleaned one day after
commissioning, thereafter every week. If no more contamination
can be noticed any more, the strainer filter can be removed in
order to reduce pressure losses.
