General
General description
The model BCH heat pump is an air to air type of equipment
that provides air conditioning in summer and in winter by
reversion of its operating cycle.
It can be located either indoors or outdoors since it is
protected to withstand weathering and the centrifugal fans
allow the connection of ductwork.
It is delivered totally equipped, factory tested and ready for
the incorporation of the electric heater accessory, indoor or
for ductwork.
Designed to achieve an important energy saving and a long
operating life by the incorporation of an electronic control
module.

Nomenclature
Balance point
Since the heat pump operates by extracting heat from the
outdoor air, it is possible that sometimes this temperature is
so low that the extracted heat is insufficient to satisfy the
heating demand. For these conditions the electronic module
hassixbalancepoints (between- 4and 14°C), oneof which
will be adjusted during the start-up. Below this temperature
the supplementary electric heater will come into operation.
The heat pump will nevertheless continue to operate with a
COPgreaterthanthatoftheelectricheatersuntiltheoutdoor
temperature drops below -20°C.
Belowthistemperaturetheheatpumpwillautomaticallystop
operating and will only use the electric heaters to warm the
space. This prevents the compressor from operating with
very high compression ratios that will shorten its operating
life.
Compressor safeties
A temperature sensing element protects the compressor
against too high discharge temperatures.
Apressure cutoutstops the compressor when the discharge
pressure is too high.
Italso actuates incaseof a refrigerantleakor because ofan
insufficient air flow across the coils.
Defrost control
The defrost cycle starts after a period, set at will, of 30, 60 or
90 minutes after start or last defrost cycle and the liquid line
temperature is -5°C or less.
Start timer
It prevents frequent stops and starts. After stopping, the unit
does not start again until 2 or 5 minutes, set at will, have
elapsed.
Control panel
The control of the BCH heat pump operation is done by
means of thermostat that allows the following:
1- Setting of the desired temperature.
2- Automatic availability of heating or cooling as desired.
3- Controlthat theoperation of the indoor fan be continuous
or intermittent depending on the operation of the com-
pressor.
4- Operate the electric heaters shutting down the rest of the
unit.
