Condensate drain
The condensation in the evaporator could produce a constant water flow that has to be
drained properly; also, to avoid unwanted odours of equipment in ambient air.
The condensate drain is in the back or in the front of the system. (Illustration 5, H).
Connect the condensate drain to the wastewater network making a siphon through a
flexible tube with inner diameter 20 mm. Ensure that water can flow freely.
Air connection
The ECOHEAT unit has two air connections located on the top cover of the equipment. There
are different connection possibilities, as shown below, which can be installed in compliance
with the current regulations. However, the cold air outlet must always be ducted to the
outside of the enclosure, except when it is in technical room.
Illustration 9: Air duct positions and locations
There is the possibility of ducting the cold air to a specific area for cooling. Through a damper,
it can be redirected outside when cooling that area is not necessary.
The ECOHEAT design provides the option to choose between 3 different pipe diameters for
air ducting. The selection of the pipe size to be used is at the discretion of the
installer/technician responsible for the design and calculation of the installation.
