Collector
Caution
The length of the collector hose varies depend-
ing on the rock/soil conditions, climate zone
and on the climate system (radiators or under-
floor heating) and the heating requirement of
the building Each installation must be sized
individually.
Max length per coil for the collector should not exceed
400 m.
In those cases where it is necessary to have several
collectors, these should be connected in parallel with
the possibility for adjusting the flow of the relevant
coil.
For surface soil heat, the hose should be buried at a
depth determined by local conditions and the distance
between the hoses should be at least 1 metre.
For several bore holes, the distance between the holes
must be determined according to local conditions.
Ensure the collector hose rises constantly towards the
heat pump to avoid air pockets. If this is not possible,
airvents should be used.
As the temperature of brine system can fall below 0 °C
it must be protected against freezing down to -15 °C.
1 litre of ready mixed brine per meter of collector hose
(applies when using PEM-hose 40x 2.4 PN 6.3) is used
as a guide value when making the volume calculation.
Side connection
It is possible to angle the brine connections, for connec-
tion to the side instead of top connection.
To angle out a connection:
1. Disconnect the pipe at the top connection.
2. Angle the pipe in the desired direction.
3. If necessary, cut the pipe to the desired length.
Connecting the brine side
■Insulate all indoor brine pipes against condensation.
■The level vessel must be installed as the highest point
in the brine system on the incoming pipe before the
brine pump (Alt. 1).
If the level vessel cannot be placed at the highest
point an expansion vessel must be used (Alt. 2).
NOTE
Note that condensation may drip from the
level vessel. Position the vessel so that this does
not harm other equipment.
■Details of the antifreeze used must be shown on the
level vessel.
* Can be angled for side connection.
