Installation and maintenance manual
WARNING!
propagation of mechanical vibrations,
do not install the equipment on floor
slabs with wooden beams (e.g. in lofts).
4.2
Ventilation connection
Apart from the space indicated in paragraph 5.1,
the heat pump requires adequate ventilation.
It is necessary to create a dedicated air duct as
indicated in the following illustration (Fig. ).
Fig. 2 – Example of an air outlet duct
Moreover, it is important to ensure an adequate
ventilation of the premises where the equipment is
to be installed.
Carry out the installation of each air duct taking
care that:
The weight of such does not adversely affect the
equipment itself;
Maintenance operations can be carried out;
This is adequately protected so as to avoid the
accidental intrusion of material inside the equipment
itself;
It doesn't exceed the maximum suggested length of
6 meters.
The connection to the outside must be made with
suitable non-flammable pipes.
The total equivalent length of the exhaust piping plus
the delivery piping, including grilles, must not exceed
10 m.

During operation, the heat pump tends to
lower the ambient temperature if the
external air duct is not carried out.
An appropriate protection grid must be
installed in line with the discharge pipe
conveying air to the outside with the aim
of avoiding foreign bodies from entering
the equipment. In order to guarantee
maximum device performance, the grid
chosen must ensure low pressure loss.
In order to avoid the formation of
condensate: insulate the air discharge
pipes and the air duct cover connections
with steam-tight thermal cladding of an
adequate thickness.
If it is considered necessary in order to
prevent flow noise, sound mufflers can be
mounted.
Fit the pipes, the wall through holes and
the connections to the heat pump with
vibration damping systems.
WARNING! the simultaneous operation of
an open-flue firebox (e.g. an open-flue
fireplace) together with the heat pump
causes
pressure drop. This could cause the
backflow
environment itself.
Do not operate the heat pump together
with an open-flue firebox.
Use
(approved) with a separate duct for
combustion air.
Keep the doors to the boiler room
closed and hermetically sealed if they
do not have a combustion air supply in
common with inhabited areas.
