3.2 Standards, guidelines, regulations
The following bodies of regulations must be con-
sidered and adhered to during planning, installation
and operation of the heating system:
Standards for heat pump systems
–EN 378-2 - Refrigerating systems and heat
pumps - Safety and environmental requirements
–ISO 6529 - Protective clothing - Protection
against chemicals - Determination of resistance of
protective clothing materials to permeation by
liquids and gases
–EN 60335-1 - Household and similar electrical
appliances - Safety - Part1: General requi-
rements
–EN 60335-2-40 - Household and similar electrical
appliances - Safety
–EN 61000-3-3 - Electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) - Part 3-3: Limits - Limitation of voltage
changes ≤16 A per phase
–EN 61000-3-11 - Electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) - Part 3-11: Limits - Limitation of voltage
changes ≤75 A per phase
–EN 55014 - Electromagnetic compatibility. Requi-
rements for household appliances, electric tools
and similar apparatus.
–DIN 8901 - Refrigerating systems and heat
pumps with flammable refrigerants of group L3
(Germany)
–DGV (SR 819.121) - Pressure equipment safety
ordinance (Switzerland)
–DBV (SR 819.122) - Pressure vessel ordinance
(Switzerland)
–SN EN 378 - Refrigerating systems and heat
pumps - Safety and environmental requirements
(Switzerland)
Standards for heating water
–ÖNORMH 5195-1 - Heat transfer media for buil-
ding services systems, Part 1: Preventing
damage from corrosion and scale formation in clo-
sed hot water heating systems (Austria)
–VDI 2035 - Prevention of damage in hot water
heating systems (Germany)
–SWKI BT 102-01 - Water quality for building sys-
tems (Switzerland)
–UNI 8065 (Italy)
3.3 Specifications for cooling mode
!CAUTION - Observe the following points
when using the heat pump for room cooling.
Failure to comply poses a risk of damage due
to moisture in building elements (due to con-
densation).
–If the temperature falls below the dew point tem-
perature in the cooling system (lines, cooling sur-
face, buffer tank), water precipitates out of the air.
Condensation forms on the cooled system parts.
–The system must have insulation suitable for coo-
ling (=diffusion-resistant).
–Take particular care when using carbon steel -
risk of external corrosion
–Use room control with humidity sensor, e.g.
SOLARFOCUS Art. 26610. This regulates the
cooling flow temperature, taking the room tem-
perature and room humidity into account, and pre-
vents the temperature falling below the dew point.
–If room control with humidity sensor is not used:
Position the dew-point sensor on the lines.
–For further information, see Heat pump planning
document, DR-0302
–Standards
–ISO 12241 - Thermal insulation for building equipment
and industrial installations - Calculation rules
–DIN 4140 - Insulation work on industrial installations and
building equipment - Execution of thermal and cold insu-
lations
3.4 Installation location, installation posi-
tion
–Outdoor installation only
–The ground must be seepable (due to condensate
discharge > 6) and local regulations and con-
ditions must be observed.
–The heat pump is weatherproof and requires no
additional protective measures (roofing, ...).
Exception: In the event of a risk of roof avalan-
ches, mechanical protection for the heat pump
must be provided, e.g. protective roof).
–The air flow through the evaporator must not be
impaired on the air intake and exhaust side (e.g.
by shrubs, walls,...).
–Do not install the heat pump with the air outlet
side against the main wind direction. Preferred
installation is on a wall, with minimum distance,
see foundation plan > 38.
–Take noise development into consideration (do
not place in front of the bedroom window, next to
the terrace, near neighbours ...).
–Ensure free accessibility (e.g. for service work).
–Installation in a sink is not permitted (lack of air
exchange due to sinking, cold air).
–The sucked air must not be contain ammonia.
The use of exhaust air from animal stables is the-
refore not permitted.
–When using heat pumps near the sea, the high
salt content of the air can lead to increased cor-
rosion (invalidation of warranty if ignored). The
use of heat pumps is harmless from a distance of
12 km to the sea.
