1.Thank you for choosing to purchase a
GDH heat pump.
GDH heat pumps are subject to strict quality
control tests in terms of functional efficiency
and performance d
uring the final inspection
process.
This final inspection includes an additional
examination of all relevant components and
a pressure test. The heating
and output
values are also checked.
Our GDH engineers hope you enjoy our
products and the associated cost savings!
1.1 Warranty
Providing all installation and operation
instructions have been observed, GDH
provides a 24-
month warranty. User error,
improper installation, incorrect control
settings or damage caused by third parties
or vandalism are not
covered by the
warranty.
brine/water heat pumps for indoor inst-
allation.
-Heating and cooling (passive)
-Flow temperatures up to 60°C
-Operating range to -5°C till 20°C
-Suitable for radiator and under floor-
heating
-Control technology for domestic
water generation
1.2 Functional description
Heat is drawn by the ground water. The
obtained heat and additional energy
produced by the compressor, heat the water
on the condenser side using the plate heat
exchanger.
1.3 Statutory regulations
The GDH heat pump series complies with
DIN, VDE and ICL specifications and EU
directives. The specifications and directives
can be found in Chapter 10 “Declaration of
conformity for these installation and
operation guidelines”. All national directives
and specifications
, and those provided by
the utility company must be observed.
2. Transportation and assembly
2.1 Transportation
The heat pump must not be transported in a
tilted position. The heat pump may only be
tilted temporarily during installation.
2.2 Delivery
The heat pump is delivered in a carton box
on a pallet. The heat pump is protected
inside this using carton and a protective film.
To prevent it from falling over during
transportation, the heat pump is bolted to the
pallet.
The surface should be solid a
nd even. A
frost-proof drain or basin must be provided
for the condensation water.

2.3 Assembly
The GDH heat pump may be installed
outside or inside by a special air flow
construction. A location must be selected
which also provides sufficient s
pace to
service the unit. (Please refer to the “min.
distance” diagram).
-The distance from the house should
be as short as possible to keep
pipework to a minimum.
-The heat pump should be assembled
so that the expelled air is not drawn
back in. If this occurs, a thermal short
circuit is created which lowers the
performance of the heat pump.
-The prevailing wind direction should
be in line with the direction of air
intake of the heat pump.
-
Ensure that the air intakes and
outlets are free from any shrubbery
and tall grass.
-
Bolt the heat pump securely to the
footing.

3.0 Preparing and hydraulic connection
3.1 Preparing
The GDH heat pump may be installed on a
flat ground. A location must be selected
which also provides sufficient space to
service the unit.
(Please refer to the
“Minimum clearance” diagram).
-The distance from the house should
be as short as possible to keep
pipework to a minimum.
-
Bolt the heat pump securely to the
footing.
The sole liquid must be mixed at min. 35%
with Glycol. This concentr
ation warranties a
frost protection temperature till -14NC.

3.2 Hydraulic diagram
Example
DHW-Domestic Hot Water preparation and heating buffer tank. The switching for the DHW-
water preparation is installed at output NO4. For additional electric heating - external heaters
must be installed at output NO8 and NO6.
The DHW 3-way-valve NO4 is controlled by temperature probe B3 and the heating circuit
temperature is controlled by B4 at inlet temperature. When the Heat pump controller
measures that the temperature is under the set point for DHW or the heating circuit - the
compressor will be switched on. DHW has the priority over the heating circuit.
Main circulation pump is controlled by output NO7. The circulation pump works during winter
mode the whole time. In summer mode the circulation pump works only on DHW water
request.
Please refer the following GDH-Manuals for more information:
GDH - Heat pump Manager Users Guide

3.3 Hydraulic connection
In order to prevent the heat pump causing
vibrations in the pipe network, the use of a
flexible hydraulic hose between the heat
pump and the buffer tank is recommended.

Connection for plate heat exchanger.
Simplified Refrigerant & Heating plan.
Please note:
-Hydraulic hoses are already installed
in the heat pump.
-The temperature difference between
the supply and return should be at
least 5 K.
-The flow rate in the pipe network
should not exceed 0.8 m/s.
-In order for the system to defrost
more efficiently a buffer tank must be
installed.
Please note following general pressure
drops in a heating system:
10 kPA = 1 m high for a circulation pump
(please check the diagrams in the
manufacturer manual).
Water tank 1,0-1,5 m
Heat exchanger in a water tank 1,5-2,0 m
Heat pump 1,5-3,0 m
Heat meter 1,5-2,0 m
Filter (new or cleaned) 1,5-2,0 m
Electrical heater 0,5-1,0 m
3-way-valve 1,0-2,0 m
Pipes with angles 0,1-0,5 m
Note: You have to calculate all your pressure
drops in the system.
General: You need a min. 3.5 m3/h water
volume flow at 6m (6 kPA) pressure drop.
We suggest you a Wilo Stratos or Grundfos
Magma circulation pump.
Please also check your pressure drops on
the ground source side. Select a circulation
pump carefully according your pressure
drops.
Please refer the GDH-Guide for Heat
pump installations for more information.

4.0 Connection to the ground source
4.1 Brine/ sole – water heat pump connection
When the heat pump works with brine/ sole water as energy source. You need to mix the
water with glycol (max. 35%) to prevent that the water gets frozen in winter. The sole
distributor can be connected direct to the heat pump.




4.2 Water – water heat pump connection
When the heat pump works with water as energy source. You need to install an additional
heat exchanger or filter between the heat pump and the water source. To prevent the internal
heat exchanger from the ground water. (You need an additional heat exchanger for
water/water connections.)

5. Installation & electrical connection
5.1 Installation
The system operates on a closed
refrigeration circuit and does not need
to be installed by a refrigeration
engineer.
Step 1
Open the cover plate.
Step 2
Put the display into the frame and
use the two screws to fix it.

Step 3
Connect the cable to the display.
Step 4
Connect the other side to the controller.

Step 5
Put the frame on the display.
Step 6
Connect the temperature sensors from
the outdoor unit to the controller board.
The cable has two-wires - one must
be connected to GND and the other
cable must be connected to the port.

6. Electrical connection
A suitable qualified or experienced individual
should only carry out all electrical
connections.
Please ensure that:
-The compressor is
protected using
slow-blow automatic circuit breakers
as per the technical data/ initial and
operating voltage the automatic
circuit breakers should be marked
with the code letter “B”
-
Please observe the installation
guidelines of your local energy
supplier.
6.1 Installation 380V/50 Hz
Please connect the main voltage to
the heat pump terminal contactor.
Use a min. cable of 5x 2.5 mm2.
NOTE:
Check carefully if you have connected the
right direction for the 3-phase-current. The
compressor would be damaged if it´s running
in a wrong direction. Listen at the noise
when you first start up the heat pump.
Normally the sound is like a washing
machine. Check the high- and low-pressure
values. If the pressure is the same on both
sides the compressor is not connected right.
6.2 Installation 220V/ 50 Hz
Please connect the main voltage to
the heat pump terminal contactor.
Use a min. cable of 3x 4.0 mm2.
Use a flat screwdriver for connection
of the cables.
NOTE:
Separate the Voltage cables from the
temperature and the EEV-Extension
cable. It can cause controller errors when
the cables are not separated.
