Commissioning

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 Service).

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 6.
 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 manager 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 manager.
ATTENTION!
The heat pump must be started up in accordance with the installation and
operating instructions of the heat pump manager.
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 during start-up.

9 Maintenance and
Cleaning

9.1 Maintenance

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 op-
erating 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. This oxygen enters the heating system via
the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is there-
fore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of under-
floor heating systems - that only diffusion-proof materials are
used.
NOTE
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. We recommend equipping diffusion-open heating systems
with an electrophysical anti-corrosion system (e.g. ELYSATOR system).
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. It is important that
the system be thoroughly flushed using appropriate 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.
