Start-up
8.1 General Information
To ensure that start-up is performed correctly, it should only be
carried out by an after-sales service technician authorised by the
manufacturer. This may be a condition for extending the guaran-
tee (see Warranty).
8.2 Preparation
The following items need to be checked prior to start-up:
The heat pump must be fully connected, as described in
Chapter 7.
The heat source system and the heating circuit must have
been filled and checked.
All valves that could impair proper flow in the well and heat-
ing circuits must be open.
The heat pump controller must be adapted to the heating
system in accordance with the controller's operating instruc-
tions.
8.3 Start-up Procedure
The heat pump is started up via the heat pump controller.
ATTENTION!
Start-up must be performed in accordance with the installation and
operating instructions of the heat pump controller.
If an overflow valve is fitted to assure the minimum heating water
flow rate, the valve must be set in accordance with the require-
ments of the respective heating system. Incorrect adjustment
can lead to faulty operation and increased energy consumption.
We recommend carrying out the following procedure to correctly
adjust the overflow valve:
Close all of the heating circuits that may also be closed during
operation (depending on the type of heat pump usage) so that
the most unfavourable operating state - with respect to the water
flow rate - is achieved. This normally means the heating circuits
of the rooms on the south and west sides of the building. At least
one heating circuit must remain open (e.g. bathroom).
The overflow valve should be opened far enough to produce the
maximum temperature spread between the heating flow and re-
turn flow listed in the table below for the current heat source tem-
perature. The temperature spread should be measured as close
as possible to the heat pump. The heating element of mono en-
ergy systems should be disconnected.

Maintenance and
Cleaning
9.1 Maintenance
The heat pump is maintenance-free. To prevent faults due to
sediment in the heat exchangers, care must be taken to ensure
that no impurities can enter either the heat source system or the
heating system. In the event that operating malfunctions due to
contamination occur nevertheless, the system should be cleaned
as described below.
9.2 Cleaning the Heating System
The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in
the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel
components are used. These products enter the heating system
via the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is
therefore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of un-
derfloor heating systems - that only diffusion-proof materials are
used.
ATTENTION!
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump.
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the
heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the liquifier in the heat pump, the system must be
cleaned by a heating technician.
According to today's state of knowledge, we recommend using a
5% phosphoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if
cleaning needs to be performed more frequently, a 5% formic
acid solution should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op-
posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys-
tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di-
rectly to the flow and return flow of the liquifier of the heat pump.
It is important that the system be thoroughly flushed using appro-
priate neutralising agents to prevent any damage from being
caused by cleaning agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with great care and 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 the Heat Source
System
A dirt trap is inserted in the heat source inlet of the heat pump to
protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities. When
the system is first put into operation, the filter screen of the dirt
trap should be cleaned in relatively short intervals. These inter-
vals can be prolonged once the amount of impurities decreases.
