The outdoor unit (boiler)
Deciding on Where to Install the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit must not be placed on its side or upside down, as the compressor lubrication
oil will run into the cooling circuit and seriously damage the unit.
Choose a location where the noise of the Air to Water Heat Pump when running and the
discharged air do not disturb any neighbours.
Install the outdoor unit on a flat, stable surface with plenty of drainage, gravel or grass is
ideal; make sure the base can support its weight
Position the outdoor unit so that the air flows into an open area.
Place the outdoor unit where there are no plants and animals
When installing the outdoor unit near sea make sure it is not directly exposed to sea breeze.
The golden rule is, if you can see the sea from the position of the outdoor unit you need to
apply Blygold or equivalent anti-corrosion coating on the whole unit.
The unit needs to be securely
mounted at least 100mm off the
ground on rubber feet or wall
brackets, the unit must be bolted
down for security using 10mm bolts and
Zebedee bolts.
The unit must have adequate
drainage away from the unit; it can
produce up to 6 L / hour.
There is a drainage kit included
which we recommend you don’t
use, its best to let the unit drain into the ground. The drain holes in the unit are clearly shown,
if a drip tray is used it must be 25mm longer and wider than the base of the unit to catch all
the drips.
Dimensions:
Size 16 - 1420mm (h) 940mm (w) 330mm (d) 103kg
Size 9 - 998mm (h) 940mm (w) 330mm (d) 75kg
The space around the unit is very important, allow:
150mm to the left hand side (facing the front of the
unit), 600mm to the right of the unit, 300mm to the
rear of the unit and 1500mm to the front of the unit.
The unit will not benefit from being mounted on the
North or South of the building any aspect is fine, you
should avoid very exposed positions to avoid wind blowing into the back or front of the unit
and very sheltered positions.
An exposed location may increase difficulty for full unit defrost.
The Control Box
When the heat pump is delivered it comes with a control box which also contains the flow
switch. Install the control unit indoors as it’s not waterproof.
It needs to be sited within 15m of the hot water cylinder, 100m of the outdoor unit and as near
as possible to the pump, flow switch and any zone valves.
The box is 323mm wide, 339mm high, 131mm deep
