9 Cleaning / Maintenance
9.1 Maintenance
To prevent malfunctions due to sediments in the heat exchang-
ers, care must be taken that no im-purities can enter the heat
source system and the heating installation. 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. They enter the heating system via the
valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is therefore
essential - in particular with respect to the entire pipework - that
only diffusion-resistant 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 liquefier in the heat pump, the system must
be cleaned by a heating technician.
Based on current information, we recommend using a 5 % phos-
phoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if cleaning
needs to be performed more frequently, a 5 % formic acid solu-
tion 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 of the liquefier of the heat pump.
It is then 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 care and the regulations of the employ-
ers’ liability insurance associations must be adhered to.
The manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning agent must
be complied with at all times.
9.3 Cleaning the Heat Source
System
ATTENTION!
The supplied strainer must be fitted in the heat source inlet of the heat
pump in order to protect the evaporator against the ingress of impurities.
The filter sieve of the dirt trap should be cleaned one day after
start-up. Further checks must be set according to the level of dirt.
If no more contamination can be noticed any more, the strainer
filter can be removed in order to reduce pressure losses.
9.4 Maintenance
According to regulation (EC) No. 842/2006, all refrigerating cir-
cuits with a minimum refrigerant quantity of 3kg, or of 6 kg in the
case of "hermetically sealed" refrigerating circuits, must be
tested for leaks by the operator every year.
The leak test must be documented and archived for a minimum
of 5 years. The test is to be carried out by certified personnel
only, according to regulation (EC) No. 1516/2007. The table en-
closed in the appendix can be used as a basis for the documen-
tation.
NOTE
Local regulations may differ from EU directive 842/2006. The appropriate
local regulations for heat pump leak tests must be observed.
10 Faults / Troubleshooting
This heat pump is a quality product and is designed for trouble-
free operation. In the event that a fault should occur, it will be in-
dicated on the heat pump manager display. In this case, consult
the Faults and troubleshooting page in the operating instructions
of the heat pump manager. If you cannot correct the fault your-
self, please contact your after-sales service technician.
ATTENTION!
Any work on the heat pump may only be performed by authorised and
qualified after-sales service technicians.
ATTENTION!
Disconnect all electrical circuits from the power supply before opening
the enclosure.
11 Decommissioning /
Disposal
Before removing the heat pump, disconnect it from the power
source and close all valves. The deinstallation of the heat pump
must be performed by technical personnel. Observe all environ-
mentally-relevant requirements regarding the recovery, recycling
and disposal of materials and components in accordance with all
applicable standards. Particular attention should be paid to the
proper disposal of refrigerants and refrigerant oils.
