NOTE
with applicable local regulations.

3.1. General instructions

The following recommendations should be taken into consideration for proper hydraulic installation.

Avoid excessive strain between the pipes and the heat pump connections to prevent leaks and/or transmission of
vibrations. Flexible hoses should be used for heat pump connections.

Install cut-off valves at all the hydraulic connections to facilitate future maintenance tasks.

Install traps at all the installation points where air pockets can form.

Place heat insulation on all circuit pipes to prevent unnecessary heat loss. Pay special attention to the heating insulation on
the brine circuit pipes, since these can reach temperatures below 0ºC, causing condensation and/or frost.

During installation work on the hydraulic circuits, take special care to prevent liquid from spilling on
the internal electrical heat pump components, which could cause personal injury due to electrocution

and/or poor equipment operation.

Do not install components that might cover the inlet or outlet of the safety valves; this could lead to a
risk of some of its components breaking and cause injuries and/or material damage.
