PR0-PAC SYSTEM OWNER INSTALLATION MANUAL
WINTERISING PROCEDURE
WARNING. Isolate machine before opening! As the heat pump
embodies electrical and rotational equipment, it is recommended for
your own safety that a competent person carries out the following
procedure
(Drain Down Procedure)
ALL MODELS
Objective
To provide frost protection
To eliminate corrosion problems
To inhibit electrical components
1.
Switch off electric supply to heat pump
2.
Remove external fuses and keep in safe place away from heat
pump to prevent accidental operation of heat pump.
3.
Ensure water circulation pump is switched off.
4.
Drain water from heat pump by
a
drain valve if fitted
b
disconnecting pipework to and from heat pump
c
Note that on units fitted with more than one condenser there
are also multiple drain down points. Each condenser water circuit will
need to be drained when the winterisation process is carried out.
If this procedure is not adopted and frost or corrosion damage results then
START UP PROCEDURE AFTER WINTERISATION
1.
Replace covers (if not fitted).
2.
Remove front grille -- using soft brush clean finned surfaces of
heat pump. Replace panel.
3.
