9 INSTALLATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT
9.3 INSTALLATION OF THE PIPE WORK
9.3.1 CORRECT REMOVAL OF CONDENSATE WATER
WARNING!
Danger of breakdowns or malfunction.
Danger of condensed water leakage.
In order to ensure that the unit drains correctly take
the recommendations described in this section into
account.
Methods for the removal of the condensed water which is
generated in the indoor unit:
- Condensed water can be allowed to drain naturally using
the natural fall of the condensed water pipe to a suitable
drain point. In order for it to be aesthetically pleasing, use
a solid pipework or trunking to cover the pipework.
- Alternative hidden installation solutions also exist.
- For example, using an external pump for removal of the
condensed water, carrying the condensed water to outside
or to main drainage system.
- By natural fall to a collection point which is then emptied
using a pump which operates when the tank is full, pumping
the water to a suitable drain point.
NOTE!
This pump for condensed water is available as an
original Saunier Duval accessory with the corresponding
installation instructions (not supplied in the UK).
WARNING!
Danger of breakdowns or malfunction.
Danger of condensed water leakage.
To ensure that the unit drains properly using a natural
fall, the condensed water pipe must have a an adequate
fall from the indoor unit.
9.3.2 HANDLING THE REFRIGERANT PIPES
DANGER!
Danger of burns and eye injuries.
When brazing or soldering pipe lines, use suitable
protection equipment (protective eye protection and
mask, welding gloves, flame proof clothing).
WARNING!
Danger of breakdowns or malfunction. Danger of
damage to refrigerant pipes through the use of
unsuitable materials.
- Use only pipes specifically intended for refrigeration and
R410A refrigerant.
NOTE!
In specialised dealers you will find refrigerant pipes
and the correct thermal insulation.
- Ensure that the refrigerant pipes are clean, dry and polished
on the inside.
- The insulation of the pipes should be done using specific
class ‘O’ insulation for cooling.
- Observe the minimum and maximum pipe lengths for each
model.
- Wherever possible avoid install excessive numbers of
bends in pipes. Do not over bend the pipe, keep the radius
as wide as possible to minimise load losses.
- When brazing pipes together, use only the correct welding
materials. During the brazing process a stream of dry
nitrogen should be run through the inside of the pipes
in order to avoid oxidisation forming inside the pipe
connection.
- Only cut the coolant pipes using propriety pipe cutters,
ensuring no swarf enters the pipe, and always keep the
pipe ends sealed wherever possible.
- Any flaring work should be performed meticulously in order to
create the correct connection and to avoid subsequent losses
of gas through the pipes.
- When reaming the cut pipe keep the pipe opening directed
downwards in order to prevent shavings from getting into
the pipes.
- Mount the joining tubes carefully, ensuring they cannot
become displaced during brazing. Ensure that there is no
strain on the pipe joints.
- Ensure that all pipework is insulated with the correct grade
of closed cell insulation and that all joints in the insulation
are sealed with insulation tape or glued.
- Carefully tighten the flaring connectors, centring the flaring
cone and the flanged nut. Applying excessive force without
correctly centring can damage the thread and may allow
water ingress into the connection.
