7.2 Heating System Connection
ATTENTION!
Flush the heating system prior to connecting the heat pump.
Before connecting the heating water system to the heat pump,
the heating system must be flushed to remove any impurities,
residue from sealants, etc. Any accumulation of deposits in the
liquifier could cause the heat pump to completely break down.
Once the heating system has been installed, it must be filled, de-
aerated and pressure-tested.
Consideration must be given to the following when filling the sys-
tem:
Untreated filling water and make-up water must be of drink-
ing water quality (colourless, clear, free from sediments)
Filling water and make-up water must be pre-filtered (pore
size max. 5 µm).
Scale formation in domestic hot water heating systems cannot be
avoided, but in systems with flow temperatures below 60 °C, the
problem can be disregarded. With high-temperature heat pumps
and in particular with bivalent systems in the higher performance
range (heat pump + boiler combination), flow temperatures of
60 °C and more can be achieved. The following standard values
should therefore be adhered to with regard to the filling and
make-up water according to VDI 2035, sheet 1: The total hard-
ness values can be found in the table.

Fig. 7.1:Guideline values for filling and make-up water in accordance with
VDI 2035
For systems with an above-average specific system volume of
50 l/kW, VDI 2035 recommends using fully demineralized water
and a pH stabiliser to minimize the risk of corrosion in the heat
pump and the heating system.
ATTENTION!
With fully demineralized water, it is important to ensure that the minimum
permissible pH value of 7.5 (minimum permissible value for copper) is
complied with. Failure to comply with this value can result in the heat
pump being destroyed.
The sensors which are delivered already connected and loosely
placed in the switch box must be mounted and insulated accord-
ing to the hydraulic integration diagram.

Minimum heating water flow rate
The minimum heating water flow rate through the heat pump
must be assured in all operating states of the heating sys-
tem. This can be accomplished, for example, by installing either
a dual differential pressureless manifold or an overflow valve.
The procedure for adjusting an overflow valve is described in the
Chapter Start-Up.
NOTE
The use of an overflow valve is only recommended for panel heating and
a max. heating water flow of 1.3 m³/h. System faults may result if this is
not observed.
The antifreeze function of the heat pump manager is active
whenever the controller and the heat circulating pumps are ready
for operation. If the heat pump is taken out of service or in the
event of a power failure, the system has to be drained. The heat-
ing circuit should be operated with a suitable antifreeze if heat
pump systems are implemented in buildings where a power fail-
ure can not be detected (holiday home).
7.3 Heat Source Connection
The following procedure must be observed when connecting the
heat source:
Connect the brine pipe to the heat pump flow and return. The hy-
draulic integration diagram must be adhered to.
ATTENTION!
The supplied dirt trap must be inserted in the heat source inlet of the heat
pump to protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities.
In addition, a micro bubble air separator must be installed in the
heat source system.
The brine liquid must be produced prior to charging the system.
The liquid must have an antifreeze concentration of at least 25 %
to ensure frost protection down to -14 °C.
Only monoethylene glycol or propylene glycol-based antifreeze
may be used.
The heat source system must be de-aerated and checked for
leaks.
ATTENTION!
The brine solution must contain at least a 25 % concentration of a
monoethylene glycol or propylene glycol-based antifreeze, which must
be mixed before filling.
7.4 Temperature sensor
The following temperature sensors are already installed or must
be installed additionally:
External temperature sensor (R1) supplied (NTC-2)
Return temperature (R2) installed (NTC-10)
Flow temperature secondary (R9) installed (NTC-10)
Flow temperature primary circuit (R6) installed (NTC-10)
