Refrigerant
The heat pump uses R410A refrigerant as operating fluid. This refrigerant is not harmful to the environment as it does not contain
chlorine, and therefore does not contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer. Under normal operation of the heat pump the
toxicity of the refrigerant is nil and there is no risk of explosion. However, the following precautions should be taken in the event of
refrigerant leakage.
T
▪
he refrigerant contained in the heat pump should not be released in the atmosphere, since it
DANGER!
contributes to global warming of the planet (GWP = 2088).
T
▪
he refrigerant should be recovered for recycling or elimination according to current legislation.
D
▪
o not directly touch the area where the leak has occurred, as this could result in severe frostbite
injuries.
V
▪
entilate the area immediately.
A
▪
nyone who has come into contact with refrigerant vapour must evacuate the area immediately and
breathe fresh air.
D
▪
irect exposure of the refrigerant to a flame produces toxic gas. However, this gas can be detected by
its odour when at concentrations well below the permitted limits.
Hydraulic installation
Installation and subsequent interventions on the heating, source or DHW circuits must only be performed by authorised personnel
in accordance with applicable local regulations and the instructions provided in this manual.
D
▪
o not touch any of the internal components during or immediately after heat pump operation; this
DANGER!
can result in burns caused by cold or heat. If these components need to be touched, allow sufficient time
for the temperatures to stabilise and wear protective gloves to avoid injury.
Water quality
Keep in mind the corrosion behavior of the circuits and the DHW tank of the heat pump. If you are not sure of the level of water
quality available for the filling of the installation, make an analysis of it. The following tables show the water quality level requirements
for the production and source circuit.
