TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Space Heating Only
The room thermostat is used as a switch. When there is a heating request from the room thermostat, the unit operates to achieve the target water temperature set on the Wired controller. When the room temperature reaches the thermostat set temperature, the unit stops. When the heating terminal uses floor heating and Heating radiator at the same time, the two ends of the floor heating and low-temperature radiator require different working water temperatures. To meet these two different working water temperatures at the same time, it is necessary to install a mixing valve and a mixing water pump at the inlet and outlet of the floor heating. The outlet water temperature of the unit is set to the water temperature required by the heating radiator, and the water mixing valve and water mixing pump are set to reduce the inlet water temperature of the floor heating.

  • Use a good thread sealant for sealing the connections. The sealing must be able to withstand the pressures and temperatures of the system.
  • When using non-copper metallic piping, be sure to insulate two kinds of materials from each other to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • As copper is a soft material, use appropriate tools for connecting the water circuit. Inappropriate tools will cause damage to the pipes.

NOTE

  • The unit is only to be used in a closed-water system. Application in an open water circuit can lead to excessive corrosion of the water piping:
  • Never use n-coated parts in the water circuit. Excessive corrosion of these parts may occur as copper piping is used in the unit’s internal water circuit.
  • When using a 3-way valve in the water circuit. Preferably choose a ball-type 3-way valve to guarantee full separation between the domestic hot water and floor heating water circuit.
  • When using a 3-way valve or a 2-way valve in the water circuit. The recommended maximum changeover time of the valve should be less than 60 seconds.

Water circuit anti-freeze protection

  • All internal hydronic parts are Insulated to reduce heat loss. Insulation must also be added to the field piping.
  • The software contains special functions using the heat pump and backup heater (if it is available) to protect the entire system against freezing. When the temperature of the water flow in the system drops to a certain value, the unit will heat the water, either using the heat pump, the electric heating tap, or the backup heater. The freeze protection function will turn off only when the temperature increases to a certain value.
  • In event of a power failure, the above features would not protect the unit from freezing.

CAUTION

  • When the unit is not running for a long time make sure the unit is powered on all the time, if you want to cut off the power, the water in the system pipe needs to be drained clean, avoid the pump and pipeline system be damaged by freezing. Also the power of  the unit needs to be cut off after water in the system is drained clean.
  • Water may enter into the flow switch and cannot be drained out and may freeze when the temperature is low enough. The flow switch should be removed and dried, then can be reinstalled in the unit.

NOTE

  1. Counterclockwise rotation, remove the flow switch.
  2. Drying the flow switch completely.

Filling water

  • Connect the water supply to the filling valves and open the valve.
  • Make sure all the automatic air purge valves are open (at least 2 turns).
  • Filling with water until the manometer indicates a pressure of approximately 2.0bar. Remove air in the circuit as much as possible using the automatic air purge valves.

NOTE

  • During filling, it might not be possible to remove all air in the system. The remaining air will be removed through the automatic bleed valve during the first operating hours of the system. Topping up the water afterwards might be required.
  • The water pressure indicated on the manometer will vary depending on the water temperature (higher pressure at higher water temperature). However, at all times water pressure should remain above 0.3 bar to avoid air entering the circuit.
  • The unit might drain off too much water through the pressure relief valve.
  • Water quality should comply with EN 98/83 EC Directives.
  • Detailed water quality conditions can be found in EN 98/83 EC Directives.

  • While maintaining the refrigeration system, observe the following precautions before operating the system.

Operating Procedures

  1. General work area:
    • All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.
  2. Checking for the presence of refrigerant:
    • The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, no-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
  3. Presence of fire extinguisher:
    • If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or COz fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.
  4. No ignition sources:
    • No person carrying out work on a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repair, removal and disposal, during which refrigerant can be released into the surrounding space. Before work takes place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that no flammable hazards or ignition risks are Smoking’ signs shall be displayed
  5. Ventilated Area(open the door and window);
    • Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
  6. Checks to the refrigeration equipment:
    • Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:
    • The charge size is following the room size within which the refrigerant-containing parts are installed.
    • The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed
    • If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant.
    • Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance that may corrode refrigerant-containing components unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
  7. Checks to electrical devices:
    • Repair and maintenance of electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures
    • If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
    • Initial safety checks shall include:
    • That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done safely to avoid the possibility of sparking.
    • Keep Conte July of earcom contents and wining are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system.
    • Keep continuity of earthing.

Inspection of Cable

  • Check the cable for wear, corrosion, overvoltage, and vibration and check if there are sharp edges and other adverse effects in the surrounding environment. During the inspection, the impact of aging or the continuous vibration of the compressor and the fan on it should be taken into consideration.

Leakage check of R32 refrigerant

  • Note: Check the leakage of the refrigerant in an environment where there is no potential ignition source. No halogen probe once grant an environmental (or any other detector that uses an open flame) should be used.

Leak detection method:

  • For systems with refrigerant R32, an electronic leak detection instrument is available, and leak detection should not be conducted in an environment with refrigerant. Make sure the leak detector will not become a potential source of ignition and applies to the measured refrigerant. The leak detector shall be set for the minimum ignitable fuel concentration (percentage) of the refrigerant. Calibrate and adjust to proper gas concentration (no more than 25%) with the used refrigerant.
  • The fluid used in leak detection applies to most refrigerants. However, do not use chloride solvents to prevent the reaction between chlorine and refrigerants and the corrosion of copper pipelines.
  • If you suspect a leak, then remove all the fire from the scene or put out the fire.
  • If the location of the leak needs to be welded, then all refrigerants need to be recovered or isolate all refrigerants away from the leak site (using a cut-off valve). Before and during the welding, use OFN to purify the entire system.

Removal and Vacuum Pumping

  1. Make sure there is no ignited fire source near the outlet of the vacuum pump and the ventilation is well.
  2. The maintenance and other operations of the refrigeration circuit should be carried out according to the general procedure, but the following best operations that the flammability is already taken into consideration are the key. You should follow the following procedures:
  3. The refrigerant should be returned to the appropriate storage tank. The system should be blown with oxygen-free nitrogen to ensure safety. This process may need to be repeated several times. This operation shall not be carried out using compressed air or oxygen.
  4. Through the blowing process, the system is charged into the anaerobic nitrogen to reach the working pressure under the vacuum state, then the oxygen-free nitrogen is emitted to the atmosphere, and in the end, vacuum the system.
    Discharge the gas into the almosphere pre sure, are i clear sy After the be chard. Tos operation is necessary for welding the pipeline.

Procedures for Charging Refrigerants

  • As a supplement to the general procedure, the following requirements need to be added:
    • Make sure that there is no contamination among different refrigerants when using a refrigerant charging device.
    • The pipeline for charging refrigerants should be as short as possible to reduce the residual of refrigerants in it.
    • Storage tanks should remain vertically up
    • Make sure the grounding solutions are already taken before the refrigeration system is charged with refrigerants.
    • After finishing the charging (or when it is not yet finished), label the mark on the system.
    • Be careful not to overcharge refrigerants.

Scrap and Recovery

Scrap: Before this procedure, the technical personnel shall be thoroughly familiar with the equipment and all its features, and make a recommended practice for refrigerant safe recovery. For recycling the refrigerant, shall analyze the refrigerant and oil samples before operation. Ensure the required power before the test.

    • All personal protective equipment is effective and can be used correctly.
    • The whole recovery process should be carried out under the guidance of qualified personnel.
    • The recovery of equipment and storage tanks should comply with the relevant national standards.
  4. If possible, the refrigerating system should be vacuumed.
  5. If the vacuum state can’t be reached, you should extract the refrigerant in each part of the system from many places.
  6. Before the start of the recovery, you should ensure that the capacity of the storage tank is sufficient.
  7. Start and operate the recovery equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Don’t fill the tank to its full capacity (the liquid injection volume does not exceed 80% of the tank volume).
  9. Even if the duration is short, it must not exceed the maximum working pressure of the tank.
  10. After the completion of the tank filling and the end of the operation process, you should make sure that the tanks and equipment are removed quickly and that all closing valves in the equipment are closed.
  11. The recovered refrigerants are not allowed to be injected into another system before being purified and tested.
    • Note: The identification should be made after the appliance is scrapped and refrigerants are evacuated. The identification should contain the date and endorsement. Make sure the identification on the appliance can reflect the flammable refrigerants contained in this appliance.

Recovery:

  1. The clearance of refrigerants in the system is required when repairing or scrapping the appliance, It is recommended to completely remove the refrigerant.
  2. Only a special refrigerant tank can be used when loading the refrigerant into the storage tank. Make sure the capacity of the tank is appropriate to the refrigerant injection quantity in the entire system. All tanks intended to be used for the recovery of refrigerants should have a refrigerant identification (refrigerant recovery tank). Storage tanks should be equipped with pressure relief valves and globe valves and they should be in good condition. If possible, empty tanks should be evacuated and maintained at room temperature before use.
  3. The recovery equipment should be kept in good working condition and equipped with equipment operating instructions for easy access. The equipment should be suitable for the recovery of R32 refrigerants. Besides, there should be a qualified weighing apparatus that can be normally used. The hose should be linked with a detachable connection joint of zero leakage rate and be kept in good condition. Before using the recovery equipment, check if it is in good condition and if it gets perfect maintenance. Check if the electrical components are sealed to prevent the leakage of the refrigerant and the fire caused by it. If you have any questions, please consult the manufacturer.
  4. The recovered refrigerant shall be loaded in the appropriate storage tanks, attached with a transporting instruction, and returned to the refrigerant manufacturer. Don’t mix refrigerant in recovery equipment, especially a storage tank.
  5. The space loading R32 refrigeration can’t be enclosed in the process of transportation. Take anti-electrostatic measures if necessary in transportation. In the process of transport, loading and unloading, necessary protective measures must be taken to protect the air conditioner to ensure that the air conditioner is not damaged
  6. When removing the compressor or clearing the compressor oil, make sure the compressor is pumped to an appropriate level to ensure that there are no residual R32 refrigerants in the lubricating oil. The vacuum pumping should be carried out before the compressor is returned to the supplier. Only the electrical heating method for heating the compressor housing is allowed to speed up the process. Ensure safety when discharging oil from the system.
