2.3 Prevent inhalation of high vapor concentration
2.4 Procedures to be adopted in the event of accidental release of refrigerant
2.5 Main Toxicological Information Regarding the Type of refrigerant used
2.5.1 Inhalation
A high atmospheric concentration can cause anaesthetic effects with possible loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure may lead to irre-
gular heartbeat and cause sudden death. Higher concentrations may cause asphyxia due to the reduced oxygen content in the atmosphere.
2.5.2 Contact with skin
Splashes of nebulous liquid can produce frostbite. Probably not hazardous if absorbed trough the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact may
remove the skin’s natural oils, with consequent dryness, cracking and dermatitis.
2.5.3 Contact with eyes
Splashes of liquid may cause frostbite.
2.5.4 Ingestion
While highly improbable, may produce frostbite.
Atmospheric concentrations of refrigerant must be minimized and kept to a level that is below the occupational exposure limit. Vapor is
heavier than air and can form dangerous concentrations near the ground where the ventilation rate is lower. Always ensure adequate venti-
lation. Avoid contact with open ames and hot surfaces as this can cause toxic and irritating decomposition products to form. Avoid contact
between liquid refrigerant and the eyes or skin.
Ensure suitable personal protection (especially respiratory protection) during cleaning operations.
If deemed safe, isolate the source of the leak. If the leakage is small and if adequate ventilation is provided, allow the refrigerant to evapo-
rate. If the loss is substantial ensure that measures are taken to adequately ventilate the area.
Contain spilled material with sand, earth or other suitable absorbent material.
Do not allow the refrigerant to enter drains, sewers or basements, as pockets of vapor can form.
2.6 First Aid Measures
2.6.1 Inhalation
2.6.2 Contact with skin
Move the person away from the source of exposure, keep him/her warm and let him/her rest. Seek medical assistance.
In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with lukewarm water. Thaw tissue using water. Remove contaminated clothing. Clothing may
stick to the skin in case of frostbite. If irritation, swelling or blisters appear, seek medical assistance.
Adhere scrupulously to the warnings and rst aid procedures indicated below.
2.6.3 Contact with eyes
Rinse immediately using an eyewash or clean water, keeping eyelids open, for at least ten minutes. Seek medical assistance.
2.6.4 Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. If the injured person is conscious, rinse his/her mouth with water and make him/her drink 200-300ml of water. Seek
immediate medical assistance.
2.6.5 Further medical treatment
Treat symptoms and carry out support therapy as indicated. Do not administer adrenaline or similar sympathomimetic drugs following
exposure, due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmia.

3. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Unit description
The LZT series of high efciency heat pumps has been specically designed for use with radiant oor heating systems or those applications
where it is necessary to have maximum efciency when heating.
They have been optimized on heating mode, are able to produce water up to 65°C and can operate down to -20°C ambient temperature.
All versions are supplied with reverse cycle valve used for winter defrost; the HH version is suitable for use in those countries that have
support schemes for use of heat pump technology for heating. The RV versions are also able to produce cold water. The HH heating only
versions is factory set and locked to operate only in heating mode whilst. The noise in XL and NN versions is extremely low thanks to the
use of a special oating vibration damping system which allows a noise reduction of about 10-12 dB(A).
3.1.1 Frame
All units are made from hot-galvanised sheet steel, painted with polyurethane powder enamel and stoved at 180°C to provide maximum
protection against corrosion. The frame is self-supporting with removable panels. All screws and rivets used are made from stainless steel.
The standard colour of the units is RAL9018.
3.1.2 Refrigerant circuit
The refrigerant utilised is R410A. The refrigerant circuit is assembled using internationally recognised brand name components with all
brazing and welding being performed in accordance with ISO 97/23. The refrigerant circuit includes: sight glass, lter drier, two thermal
expansion valves (one for cooling mode, one for heating mode) with external equalizer, 4 way reversing valve, check valves, liquid receiver,
Schrader valves for maintenance and control, pressure safety device (for compliance with PED regulations). The circuit also includes an
AISI316 stainless steel heat exchanger that is used as an economizer plus an additional expansion valve for refrigerant vapour injection.
3.1.3 Compressors
Units use scroll compressors that are equipped with E.V.I. technology, a versatile method of improving system capacity and efciency. EVI
stands for “Enhanced Vapour Injection.” The technology involves injecting refrigerant vapour into the middle of the compression process, a
procedure that signicantly boosts capacity and efciency. Each scroll compressor used in these units is similar to a two-stage compressor
with built-in inter-stage cooling. The process begins when a portion of the condenser liquid is extracted and expanded through an expan-
sion valve. The low temperature liquid/gas mixture produced is injected into a heat exchanger that operates as a sub cooler. Any liquid is
evaporated and the vapour produced is superheated. The superheated vapour is then injected into an intermediate port in the scroll com-
pressor. This cold vapour reduces the temperature of the compressed gas thus enabling the compressor to raise the pressure to levels (and
temperatures) beyond that possible with a single stage scroll. The additional sub cooling of the main volume of liquid refrigerant increases
the evaporator capacity. This compressor technology generates a larger pressure ratio between condensing and evaporating pressures,
with signicant performance improvement. In all units the compressors are connected in tandem. The compressors are all supplied with a
crankcase heater and thermal overload protection by a klixon embedded in the motor winding. They are mounted in a separate enclosure
in order to be separated from the air stream thus enabling them to be maintained even if the unit is operating. Access to this enclosure is
by the front panel of the unit. The crankcase heater is always powered when the compressor is in stand-by.
3.1.4 Source heat exchanger
The source heat exchanger is made from 3/8” copper pipes and 0,1mm thick aluminium ns with the tubes being mechanically expanded
into the aluminium ns in order to maximise heat transfer. Furthermore, the design guarantees a low air side pressure drop thus enabling
the use of low rotation speed (and hence low noise) fans. All heat exchangers are supplied standard with ns hydrophilic coating.
3.1.5 Fans
The fans are direct drive axial type with aluminium aerofoil blades, are statically and dynamically balanced and are supplied complete with
a safety fan guard complying with the requirements of EN 60335. They are xed to the unit frame via rubber antivibration mountings.In the
LS versions the fans are 6 poles type (approx 900 rpm), in the XL versions the fans are 8 poles type (approx 600 rpm), in the NN versions
the fans are 12 poles type (approx 450 rpm). The motors are tted with integrated thermal overload protection and have a moisture protec-
tion rating of IP 54.
3.1.6 User heat exchangers
The user heat exchanger is a braze welded, plate type heat exchanger, manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel. The use of this type of
exchanger results in a massive reduction of the refrigerant charge of the unit compared to a traditional shell-in-tube type. A further advan-
tage is a reduction in the overall dimensions of the unit. The exchangers are factory insulated with exible close cell material and can be
tted with an antifreeze heater (accessory). Each exchanger is tted with a temperature sensor on the discharge water side for antifreeze
protection.
Rev. A 11-2020

3.1.7 Electric enclosure
The enclosure is manufactured in order to comply with the requirements of the electromagnetic compatibility standards CEE EN60204.
Access to the enclosure is achieved by removing the front panel of the unit. The following components are supplied as standard on all
units: main switch, a sequence relay that disables the power supply in the event that the phase sequence is incorrect (scroll compressors
can be damaged if they rotate in the wrong direction), thermal overloads (protection of pumps and fans), overload switches, control circuit
automatic breakers, compressor contactors, automatic switches and pump contactors. The terminal board has volt free contacts for remote
ON-OFF, Summer/ winter change over (heat pumps only) and general alarm.
3.1.8 Microprocessors
All units are supplied as standard with microprocessor controls. The microprocessor controls the following functions: control of the water
temperature, antifreeze protection, compressor timing, compressor automatic starting sequence (For multiple compressors), alarm reset.
The control panel is supplied with display showing all operational icons. The microprocessor is set for automatic defrost (when operating in
severe ambient conditions) and for summer/ winter change over.
The control also manages the anti-legionella program, the integration with other heating sources (electric heaters, boilers, solar panels
etc), the operation of a three port modulating valve (for diverting to DHW or heating) and both the heating circuit pump and the domestic
hot water circuit pump. If required (available as an option), the microprocessor can be congured in order for it to connect to a site BMS
system thus enabling remote control and management. The Lochinvar technical department can discuss and evaluate, in conjunction with
the customer, solutions using MODBUS protocols.
3.1.9 Control and protection devices
All units are supplied with the following controls and protections: user water return temperature sensor, antifreeze protection temperature
sensor installed on users water output, domestic hot water supply and return temperature sensors (only versions P2S), high pressure
manual reset, low pressure automatic reset, compressor thermal protection, air fan, thermal protection, pressure transducer (used to opti-
mize the defrost cycle and to adjust the fan speed depending on ambient conditions), ow switch. All units are also tted with a temperature
probe sensor with “Energy Saving” function, supplied in a separate plastic box, which can be used to stop the pump use during periods of
stand-by, when the water temperature reaches the set point. Doing this the power consumption of the unit is strongly reduced. The probe
sensor must be positioned in the hydraulic compensator present at the screening technique. The domestic hot water circuit (only versions
P2S) is already equipped with this probe, but it must be installed in the user circuit.
3.1.10 User ow switch
The ow utility is installed as standard on all units and disables the operation of the unit in case of abnormal water ow in the system. The
ow switch is made of a blade system tted in the ow of the water; it is combined with two permanent magnets that assess the amount of
water in transit and, in function of the measured parameter, enable or not the operation of the unit.
3.2 Versions
3.2.1 Version HH
HH heating only versions are available in the P2U and P2S conguration only.
3.2.6 HE Version
High efciency version, according to ERP2018 standard. Unit equipped with EC fans.
3.2.8 Version XL
All versions are supplied, as standard, with the latest ‘Floating Frame’ technology that completely isolates the compressors from the main
casing, thereby eliminating vibration and noise from this source. The ‘Floating Frame’ is a special vibration and acoustic damping system
that consists of a base plate and acoustic enclosure that houses the compressors. The base plate is separated from the supporting frame
of the unit by soft steel springs that have a high damping power. Within the enclosure, the compressors are mounted on rubber shock ab-
sorbers on the oating base plate. The enclosure is manufactured from galvanized steel sandwich panels that have a core of 30 mm thick,
high density (25 kg/m3) mineral wool. The entire arrangement provides a double damping system and acoustic attenuation. The compressor
refrigerant pipes are connected to the refrigerant circuit through “anaconda” exible connections. Flexible connections are also used on the
water pipework within the unit. The combination of these systems results in an overall noise reduction in the region of 10-12 dB(A).
3.2.10 Version P2U
This is a two pipe version that can produce hot water for heating and cold water for cooling. The unit is used with two pipe water based
change-over systems. It is not able to produce domestic hot water.
3.2.11 Version P2S
This is a two pipe version that can, in addition to producing hot water for heating and cold water for cooling, also generate domestic hot
Rev. A 11-2020
13
water. The controller has dual heating set points (heating and DHW) and can also control a three port diverting valve that directs the DHW
to the cylinder. DHW production has priority irrespective of the mode of operation of the unit. The unit is normally used with two pipe water
based change-over systems.
3.3 Accessories description
3.3.1 Condensate discharge drip tray with antifreeze heater (BRCA)
Installed under the nned heat exchanger, this is used to collect the condensate generated during the heating mode operation. It is tted

C.O.P.
The above graph shows the operation range of the EVI scroll compressors supplied in the units; at -20°C ambient the water outlet tempe-
rature is still 52°C; this performance makes the installation of a heat pump suitable for any European condition.
Ambient temperature (°C)

Temperature (°C)
The efciency of EVI compressors at low ambient conditions is about 25% higher than standard scroll compressors. The effect of this
difference becomes even more evident in applications that require high hot water temperatures (i.e. when domestic hot water is required).
In such applications the operational limits of a standard scroll compressor prevent it from producing the required hot water temperature at
air ambient temperatures below 5°C.
The graph below shown the trend of the coefcient of performance C.O.P. compared with a standard scroll compressor (dotted line); EVI

EVI stands for “Economised Vapour Injection.” The technology involves injecting refrigerant vapour into the middle of the compression process,
a procedure that signicantly boosts capacity and efciency. Each scroll compressor used in these units is similar to a two-stage compressor
with built-in inter-stage cooling. The process begins when a portion of the condenser liquid is extracted and expanded through an expansion
valve. The low temperature liquid/gas mixture produced is injected into a heat exchanger that operates as a sub cooler. Any liquid is evaporated
and the vapour produced is superheated. The superheated vapour is then injected into an intermediate port in the scroll compressor. This
cold vapour reduces the temperature of the compressed gas thus enabling the compressor to raise the pressure to levels (and temperatures)
beyond that possible with a single stage scroll. The additional sub cooling of the main volume of liquid refrigerant increases the evaporator
capacity. This compressor technology generates a larger pressure ratio between condensing and evaporating pressures, with signicant
performance improvement. Using this technology enables the units to produce hot water up to 65°C and the ability to operate down to -20°C
ambient temperature.

3.6 Operation limits
3.6.1 User heat exchanger water ow rate
The nominal water ow rate given is referred to a ∆t of 5 °C. Maximum ow rate allowed is the one that presents a ∆t of 3°C: higher values
may cause too high pressure drop.
The minimum water ow rate allowed is the one presenting a ∆t of 8°C.
Insufcient values cause too low evaporating temperatures with the action of safety devices which would stop the unit.
3.6.2 User hot water temperature (Winter operation)
Once the system is on temperature, the minimum user water temperature should not be less than 30°C.
Lower values could cause incorrect working operation of the compressor and compressor failure may occur.
The maximum user outlet water temperature cannot exceed 65°C; higher values may call the action of safety devices which would stop
the unit.
3.6.4 Ambient air temperature
The units are designed and manufactured to operate, In winter operation (heating mode ) from -20°C to 43°C.
In cooling mode the units can operate with ambient air temperatures from -10 to 43°C.

All units are supplied as standard with evaporating/condensing pressure control. This feature allows the unit to
operate in heating mode above 15°C and in cooling mode below 20°C ambient temperature. The device monitors
the evaporating/condensing pressure and maintains it at a constant level by modulating the airow. It can also be
used to reduce noise emission when ambient temperatures are lower (eg. at night).
Units are designed and manufactured to European safety and technical standards. The units have been designed
exclusively for heating, cooling and domestic hot water production (D.H.W.). The units must be used for this specic
purpose only. The Company will not be liable for claims for damage caused to persons, animals or material goods
or property caused by improper installation, adjustment and maintenance or improper use. Any use not specied in
this manual is prohibited.
In case of operations outside of these values, please contact the company.
In WINTER mode, the unit can be started with external air of -20°C and cold inlet water (about 20°C). Such a
conguration is allowed only for a short time and only to bring the plant to the right temperature.
To reduce this setting time, we suggest to install a 3-way valve which allows to by-pass water from the user to the
plant till the standard conditions are reached.
If the unit is installed in particularly windy areas, it will be necessary to provide some windbreaker barriers to avoid
any malfunction. We suggest to install the barriers only if the wind exceeds 2,5m/s.
The units, in their standard conguration, are not suitable for installation in saline environments.
3.7 Domestic hot water production
The production of domestic hot water through heat pump is a sensitive issue that deserves proper consideration. There are several systems
of domestic hot water production by using heat pumps, each of which brings advantages and disadvantages. It is not subject of this manual
to deal with the matter in depth and in the case, please contact the company for all the appropriate solutions.
