Service and maintenance

7.1 General

Regular inspection and maintenance of the Altherma EHS(X/H)
reduces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth
operation.
RISK OF ENVIRONMENTAL
DAMAGE!
Important information regarding the
coolant used.
The entire heat pump system contains
refrigerant with fluoridated greenhouse
gases which damage the environment if
released.
Coolant type: R410A
GWP* value: 2087,5
* GWP = Global Warming Potential
Fill in the total coolant filling quantity
on the supplied lable on the heat
pump exterior unit (for information
consult the installation instructions for
the heat pump exterior unit).
Never allow coolant to be released
into the atmosphere - always suction
it off and recycle using a suitable
recycling device.
Have the inspection and maintenance carried out by
authorised and trained HVAC engineers once a year,
ideally before the heating period. This can prevent
faults during the heating period.
Daikin recommends an inspection and maintenance
contract to ensure regular inspection and maintenance.
Legal requirements
According to the F-Gases Directive (EC) No. 842/2006 Article 3,
replaced on 01.01.2015 by (EC) No. 517/2014 Articles 3 and 4,
Operators (or Owners) must perform regular maintenance on
their fixed cooling systems, check impermeability and have any
leaks repaired immediately.
All installation, maintenance and repair work on the cooling circuit
must be documented e.g. in the operating manual.
Operators of Daikin heat pump systems are subject to the fol-
lowing obligations:

7 x Service and maintenance
The European statutory investigation period applies for
heat pumps from a total system coolant filling quantity
of 3 kg or, as of 01.01.2017 from a total filling quantity
of 5 t CO -equivalent (in the case of R410A from
2
2.4 kg).
Daikin nonetheless recommends the conclusion of a
maintenance contract, including documentation of the
work carried out in the operating manual in order to pre-
serve the right to guarantee, including for systems for
which there is not legal obligation to monitor imperme-
ability.
With a system coolant total filling quantity of 3 kg – 30 kg
or from 6 kg in hermetic systems and from 01.01.2017 with a
total filling quantity of 5-50 t CO
equivalent in hermetic systems:
Inspections carried out by certified personnel at intervals
of no more than 12 months and documentation of the
work performed in accordance with valid regulations.
This documentation must be retained for at least 5 years.
Certified people are those who have proof of expertise
for the European Community for work on stationary
refrigeration systems (heat pumps) and air conditioning
systems, according to the F-Gases Directive
(EC) 303/2008.
– up to 3 kg coolant fill quantity: Expert certificate
category II
– 3 kg coolant fill quantity or over: Expert certifi-
cate category I
