INSTALLATION / HYDRAULIC CONNECTION TO HEATING CIRCUIT
PRESSURE LOSS CALCULATION
NOTE
There are two circulation pumps integrated in
the hydraulic module, which are appropriately
dimensioned to ensure an adequately high vol-
ume ow (ow rate) on the heat sink side. The
free pressure available is limited, which makes
planning in advance indispensable. For details
of how high the free pressures of the circulation
pumps are at the corresponding heat pump vol-
ume ows, refer to the “free pressure” curves
in the operating manual of the connected heat
pumps.
Operating manuals of your heat pumps
A pressure loss calculation must be performed in ad-
vance for the hydraulic connection of the hydraulic
module, to dimension the components used (for exam-
ple, the pipe diameter). This is the only way to deter-
mine the head of the still available free pressure, which
is provided outside of the hydraulic module by the two
integrated circulation pumps.
The free pressure available for the external piping of the
heat sink side can be identied in the hydraulic module.
A calculation example of the hydraulic cal-
culation / pressure loss calculation is given
on Page 26 of this operating manual. On
Page 27 there is a schematic, in which you
can enter or calculate the data for your system.
The hydraulic components of a system must be chosen
and dimensioned so that the sum of all pressure losses
(heat pump, connection pipe, storage tank, changeo-
ver valves, heating circuit etc.) is less than the free pres-
sure available in accordance with the operating manual
of the connected heat pumps.
As it is possible to operate two heat pumps with dier-
ent heat outputs at the hydraulic module (for example,
an LAD 5 and an LAD 7) and therefore to operate them
with dierent volume ows, this means that the two
pipe runs of heat pump 1 and heat pump 2 can be load-
ed asymmetrically:
Depending on the connected heat pump types, the free
pressure of pipe run 1, as a result of a higher pressure
loss, can be lower than the free pressure of pipe run 2. In
this case, for the further dimensioning it is important for
the design to be based on the pipe run with the more
unfavourable hydraulic conditions.
Calculate the hydraulics of your system in accord-
ance with the schematic on Page27 …
Flush the heating circuit thoroughly before con-
necting the unit to the heating circuit…
NOTE
Contamination and deposits in the heating cir-
cuit can cause malfunctions.
Install lling and draining devices, shut-o valves
and non-return valves at the required locations in
the heating circuit…
Check whether the units have already been la-
belled. If not, label the units now…
Page9, Unit lettering / labelling.
Make hydraulic connections to the hydraulic mod-
ule according to the unit labelling. The connections
for the heating circuit are located on the underside
of the hydraulic module.
NOTE
The circulation pumps or rather the pipe runs on
or in the hydraulic module have already been la-
belled in the factory with number 1for the con-
nections of heat pump 1 and number 2 for the
connections of heat pump 2.
ATTENTION
When installing the connections, always secure
the connections on the unit against twisting, to
prevent damage to the copper pipes inside the
unit.
