CALIDO1 DHW heat pump with tank
19
An hydraulic safety group complying with EN 1487 standards must be installed in the water inlet. If not, it could cause dam-
age to the unit, or even hurt people. The safety group must be provided with stop valve, manual drain valve, inspeconable
non-return valve and safety valve set to 7 bar. Refer to the installaon diagram to nd out where to install the safety group.
The safety group must be protected against frost.
The discharge pipe of the safety group must be installed with a connuous downward inclinaon and in an environment
protected from frost. The water must be free to drip from the safety group discharge pipe and the end of this pipe must be
le open to atmospheric pressure.
The safety group must be inspected regularly to remove lime deposits and to ensure that it is not blocked. Beware of burns,
due to the high temperature of the water.
The expansion tank with capacity suitably sized to absorb volume variaons (depending from the extension of sanitary
distribuon piping) must be installed in the inlet line. In each case, its capacity must not be lower than 12 liters for 200 series
and 18 liters for 300 series.
The tank water can be drained through the external manual gate valve installed on the inlet pipe (not provided).
Aer all the pipes installed, open the cold water inlet and the hot water outlet to ll the tank. When there is water normally
owing out from water outlet taps, the tank is full. Turn o all valves and check all pipes. If any leakage, please repair.
If the inlet water pressure is less than 1.5 bar, a pressure pump should be installed at the water inlet. For ensure the long
safety using age of tank at the condion of water supply hydraulic higher than 5.5 bar, a reducing valve should be mounted
at the water inlet pipe.
A lter is advisable in the air inlet. If the unit is connected with ducts, lter in there must be put forward to the air inlet of
duct.
For draining the evaporator condensate water, install the unit on a horizontal plane with a maximum angle of inclinaon of
2 degrees towards the drain hole on the opposite side of the control panel. If this is not the case, make sure that the conden-
sate drainage pipe is located at the lowest point and siphon it if necessary.
9.6 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
Hydraulic connecons must be made in accordance with naonal and local regulaons. The pipes can be made of mullayer pipe, polyethylene
or stainless steel and must withstand at least 100°C and 10 bar. The pipes must be carefully sized according to the desired water ow rate and
the pressure drop of the hydraulic circuit. All hydraulic connecons must be insulated using closed-cell material of adequate thickness. The units
should be connected to the piping using exible couplings. It is recommended to install the following components in the hydraulic circuit:
• Y-shaped metallic lter (to be mounted on the inlet pipe) with a mesh not larger than 1mm.
• Automac charging group (3 bar advised) when water supply pressure is higher than 5,5 bar.
• Hydraulic safety group (7 bar).
• Manual gate valves to separate the unit from the hydraulic circuit.
• Manual gate valve on the inlet pipe to discharge the unit if necessary.
• Thermometers for wells to monitor the system’s temperature.
• Expansion tanks, safety valves and air vents where indicated in the following installaon diagrams.
Perform the connecons making sure that weight of the pipes do not overload the unit.
Check the water hardness, which should not be below 12°f. With parcularly hard water, it’s recommended the use of a
water soener so that the residual hardness is no more than 20°f and no less than 15°f.
WARNING: When is possible, connect the pipes to the hydraulic connecons always using the system key against key.
WARNING: Unit water inlet pipe have to be in correspondence with the blue connecon, otherwise the unit malfuncon
could occur.
WARNING: It is compulsory to install on the WATER INLET connecon a metallic lter with a mesh not larger than 1 mm.
Should the lter not be installed, the warranty will no longer be valid. The lter have to be kept clean, so make sure that it is
clean aer the unit has been installed, and then check it periodically.
WARNING: if an external pump is installed and connected to the system (for recirculaon of domesc hot water or solar
water) It is recommended to also install and connect a ow switch before the pump. Otherwise, any damage to the pump
will not be reported and system malfuncon could occur.
Perform the drainage/piping work according to the installaon instrucon. If there is a defect in the drainage/piping work,
water could leak from the unit and household goods could get wet and be damaged.
Hot water needs to be mixed with cold water before it is distribuited to users, to hot water (over 50°C) in the unit can cause
injury. The use of an-burn valves is recommended.
The diagrams are to be considered only for indicaon purpose. It is always required the study of the specic installaon
context and the approval of the system by a qualied heang engineer designer.
9.6.1 Water connecons
Please pay aenon to the following points when connecng the water circuit pipes:
1. Try to reduce pressure losses in the water circuit.
2. Check that there are no impuries in the pipes and that they are smooth inside, check them carefully for leaks, and then t them with
