2. Description

The HPWH is a heating appliance ready for connection and essentially consists of a domestic water tank, the

components of the refrigeration, air and water circuits as well as all control, regulating and monitoring devices

required for automatic operation. The desired fan speed (3 settings) can be selected via a wire-bound remote

control.

The version with internal tubular heat exchanger is suited for connection to a supplementary heat source such as

a boiler or solar system. The storage tank of this type is provided with a vertical sleeve (inside ∅ = 12 mm)

designed to accommodate an external temperature sensor (tank temperature) for the control/regulation of the

supplementary heat source.

The HPWH uses electricity to extract the heat from the drawn-in air for the generation of hot water.

The air intake pipe of the unit can be connected to a central exhaust duct system (pipe socket 2x DN160 with lip

seal). Via field-installed exhaust valves and the exhaust air duct system, stale air is removed, in a controlled

manner, from high-moisture and –odour areas in the building and is then discharged to the outside via the outlet

duct. The required fresh air (supply air) is (must be) supplied to the building via decentralised outside air valves.

Air distribution systems (central exhaust air and decentralised outside air ducts) are offered as accessories.

In addition, the units are equipped with an electric immersion heater (1.5 kW) as standard.

The electric immersion heater fulfils three functions:

ÖÖ

Ö#

#Supplemental heat

Activating the immersion heater (via "Immersion heater" switch, see section Operating Panel), in addition to

the heat pump, approximately halves the heat-up time.

ÖÖ

Ö#

#Higher water temperature

If the required hot water temperature is higher than the temperature that can be reached by the heat pump

(approx. 58 °C), the temperature can be increased to max. 85 °C by the immersion heater (factory setting:

65°C).

Note: With hot water temperatures >

> 58 °C the heat pump is shut off, and water heating

is accomplished by the immersion heater only.

ÖÖ

Ö#

#Emergency heat

The electric heating element (immersion heater) will maintain the hot water supply when the heat pump

requires servicing.

Operating limit

Any time the temperature of the drawn-in air drops below 14°C, the electric heating element switches on

automatically and heats the water until the factory-set maximum temperature of the heat pump of approx. 58°C is

reached .

2.1 Refrigeration Cycle

(Heat Pump Principle of Function)

The refrigeration cycle is a closed system in which the refrigerant R134a circulates as an energy carrier. In a

finned heat exchanger, heat is extracted from the drawn in air at a low evaporation temperature and transferred to

the refrigerant. The vaporous refrigerant is drawn in by a compressor and then compressed to a higher

pressure/temperature level; it is passed to the condenser where the heat absorbed in the evaporator and part of

the heat of the compressor motor is transferred to the water. Subsequently, the high condensing pressure is

reduced by means of a throttling device (expansion valve) to the level of the evaporating pressure, and in the

evaporator the refrigerant can again absorb heat from the drawn-in air.

2.2 Water Circuit

The water circuits of the HPWH are dependent on the specific type (with or without internal heat exchanger). They

have to be field-installed. The water connections (Fig. 1) are located at the rear of the unit.

➨ Note !

- Circulation line

From an energy-efficiency point of view, the provision of a circulation line should be dispensed with, if possible.

If a circulation line for the hot water distribution system is connected, it must be fitted with a valve or similar

device enabling it to be shut off to avoid any unnecessary loss of energy. Enabling the circulation is effected as

required (time or on-demand control).

- Condensate drain: note section "Connection of Condensate Line".

2.3 Safety and Control Devices

The HPWH is equipped with the following safety features:

2.3.1 High-pressure pressostat (HP)

The high-pressure pressostat protects the heat pump from excessive operating pressures in the refrigeration

cycle. In the case of a malfunction, the pressostat switches off the heat pump. The heat pump is restarted

automatically as soon as the pressure in the refrigeration cycle has dropped to an acceptable level.

2.3.2 Safety temperature limiter for immersion heater (STL)

The STL protects the hot water installation from excessive

temperature increases.

When the preset switching value (99 °C) is exceeded, the

immersion heater is switched off.

The immersion heater cannot be restarted unless the hot

water temperature has fallen to ≤ 90 °C and the reset

button (Fig. 2) on the STL has subsequently been pressed

(may be performed by qualified personnel only!).

Fig 2: Resetting STL

2.3.3 Appliance fuse

For internal protection, the HPWH is provided with a separate fuse. This fine-wire fuse (1.25 A slow fuse) is

housed within a "screw plug device" (can be unscrewed in the middle) on the side where the internal electrical

connections (in the area adjacent to terminal strip X1) are located.

In addition, the HPWH is equipped with the following regulating and control devices:

2.3.4 Temperature controller for immersion heater (TR)

The temperature controller for the immersion heater regulates the water temperature in the immersion heater

mode of heating. The maximum temperature of this controller is factory-set at 65 °C (the controller is installed in a

common housing together with the STL). The temperature setting can be changed by means of a suitable tool

(see Fig. 2). Any change of this setting may only be performed by qualified persons!

In the automatic mode of operation (activation via air temperature sensor, see 2.3.6), the water is heated by the

immersion heater up to the preset fixed heat pump setpoint (approx. 58°C). When the immersion heater is

manually activated to operate in the continuous mode, the domestic water is heated until the preset maximum

temperature of the immersion heater controller is reached. (The immersion heater – with appropriate additional

wiring – may, as an option, also be designed for external activation – see section "Electrical connection“).

2.3.5 Electronic heat pump temperature controller

The temperature control inside the hot water storage tank and the control of the compressor operation is effected

by an electronic controller. It senses the water temperature with the aid of a sensor and keeps the preset fixed

setpoint at a nearly constant level.

2.3.6 Air temperature sensor

This electronic sensor senses the air inlet temperature of the HPWH (immediately at the evaporator inlet). If the

air temperature drops below 14°C water heating is automatically switched from the heat pump mode to the

immersion heater mode of operation.

3. Storage and Transport

3.1 General Requirements

As a rule, the HPWH is to be stored or transported in its shipping box in upright position and without water

charge. For a transport over short distances, and provided due care is exercised, an inclination angle of up to 45°

is permitted. Both during transport and storage, ambient temperatures of -20 to +60 °C are permissible.

3.1.1 Transport using a forklift (or lift truck)

When transported by a fork lift, the HPWH must remain mounted on the pallet. The lifting rate should be kept to a

minimum. Due to its top-heaviness, the HPWH must be secured against tipping over. To prevent any damage, the

HPWH must be placed on a level surface.

3.1.2 Manual transport

For the manual transport, the wooden pallet can be used for the bottom part. Using ropes or carrying straps

(which can be placed around the jacket of the storage tank and secured to the water tube nipples), a second or

third handling configuration is possible. With this type of handling (applies to the transport by hand truck as well),

care must be taken that the max. permissible inclination angle of 45° is not exceeded (see Figure). If transport

in an inclined position cannot be avoided, the HPWH ("heat pump" switch) should be taken into operation one

hour after it has been moved into final position at the earliest.

Caution! Do not lift the unit by its cover

(the cover is not designed to withstand heavy weights ! The

appliance cover must be relieved from the weight of the unit

during transport by taking appropriate measures or using auxiliary

aids)

4. Installation

4.1 Installation Site

CAUTION!

¾#The HPWH must be sited in a dry and freeze-proof room, the room air temperature and/or the air taken in

by the HPCDW must be within a temperature range of 15 °C to 35 °C (required for heat pump operation).

¾#In addition, the unit must not be installed in areas where there is an explosion hazard due to gases, vapours

or dust.

¾#Adequate thermal insulation of areas adjacent to living spaces is recommended.

¾#A condensate drain (with siphon) must be provided.

¾#The air drawn in must be not excessively contaminated or heavily laden with dust.

¾#The floor surface must have adequate load bearing capability (the estimated HPWH weight is 410 kg when

fully charged!).

For the performance of maintenance and repair work clearances of at least 0.6 m must be maintained all around

the unit. If the HPWH is primarily operated as a hot water unit, rather than a ventilation unit, i.e. without airducts

or airduct elbows (➠"free-blowing“ installation), a minimum ceiling height of 2.5 m (see Fig. 4) is required (for

efficient operation). The connection to the HPWH is effected (optionally) by means of insulated airducts (NW 160)

which must not exceed a total length of 10 m.

Fig. 3: Transport of the unit

The notices below apply to the connection of the HPWH to exhaust air duct systems:

Standardised exhaust air systems:

Standardised exhaust air distribution systems with decentralised outside air valves are offered for use with the

HPWH. The connection of these systems to the unit is accomplished via a flexible, sound and heat insulated

airduct (DN 160). This airduct is employed for both exhaust air and outlet air.

The mounting instructions of the individual exhaust air system must be observed.

Where it can be expected that the operating noise of the system is transmitted into the rooms from which the

odour- and moisture-laden air is to be removed (e.g. in the case of very short air duct runs) a suitable duct

silencer (DN 160) is to be mounted on the exhaust-air side of the compact residential ventilation unit in addition.

Customised exhaust air systems:

If the exhaust air system uses rigid ductwork (e.g. spiral-wound ducting, flat ducts), a flexible transition (e.g.

flexible tubing with a total length of approx. 1m) should be selected for vibration decoupling purposes between

duct network and the exhaust air and outlet air pipe connectors of the unit).

On the exhaust air side, a suitable duct silencer should be used in order to avoid any transmission of the

operating noise of the ventilation unit.

Important notices:

- Suitable exhaust air filters should always be provided in the airduct system to prevent any contamination of the

unit and the heat exchangers.

- The outside of the exhaust ducting network should always be provided with diffusion-resistant insulation to

protect it from heat losses and the formation of condensation water if they ducts are routed through rooms (e.g.

attic, basement, etc.) that are colder than the room from which the waste air was exhausted.

5. Mounting

5.1 Connection of Water Piping

The nominal pipe widths of the field-installed sanitary installations must be determined on the basis of the

available water pressure and the expected pressure drops within the piping system.

The water-side installation has to be executed in compliance with DIN 1988 (see appendix – in the case of

excessive water pipe pressure, a pressure relief valve is to be provided, among other things !)

The water pipes may be of the rigid or flexible type. The materials used in the piping system must be chemically

compatible in order to prevent any corrosion damage (see section Commissioning).

Caution!

When installing the pipework on the customer's site, any contamination of the piping

system must be avoided (pipes may have to be flushed prior to the connection of the

HPWH)!

5.2 Connection of condensate line

The condensate hose is passed through the foil-faced insulation jacket on the rear of the unit. The condensate

hose must be routed in such a way that any condensate which may form can drain without obstruction.

At the end of the condensate hose a sealing lip valve (that opens without pressure) is provided which must also

be relocated when the condensate hose is shortened (valve can be easily removed and reinstalled). In particular,

this valve is required if rather long air hoses are installed on the unit, or an upstream filter is installed on the

exhaust air side. The condensate has to be drained into a siphon (or, as an alternative, into a collecting vessel

which would have to be emptied regularly (see also Maintenance notice under 7.1).

5.3 Electrical Connection

The HPWH is pre-wired, ready for connection, the power is supplied via the mains cable connected to a wall outlet

with earthing contact (~230 V, 50 Hz). This outlet must be accessible also after the installation has been

completed.

For the connection of the remote control device, a separate cable ( 6-pole with a minimum wire cross-section of

0.75 mm2 and max. outside diameter of 13 mm) must be inserted into the unit through the screwed cable gland

provided for this purpose, which also serves as a strain relief.

For the control of external devices for the supplementary heat source (applies only to HPWH with internal heat

exchanger), a separate cable must be fed into the unit as well. The terminal (X1 – 9/10/PE) with a potential-free

contact for the control (ON/OFF) of the external ancillary equipment (pump, solenoid valve, etc.) is located on the

partition inside the unit. The external supply leads must be fed through the partition through the free cable bushing

provided for this purpose. It is necessary to remove the plastic hood of the HPWH to make these electrical

connections.

External immersion heater control

As an option, it is possible to configure the immersion heater in such a way that in addition to the activation by the

"immersion heater" switch on the operating panel on the HPWH it is also possible to activate the electric heating

element remotely (e.g. by using a timer). A potential-free contact on the external switchgear must be available for

this connection; in addition, another wire (min. 2 x 1.0 mm2 / max. outside dia. 10 mm) must be introduced into the

unit and clamped to terminals 7 and 8 of terminal strip X1.

➨ Caution! The HPWH may only be operated with the unit filled with water!

6.1.1 Hot water circuit requirements

On the consumer side, the following materials may be incorporated into the water circuit:

Â copper Â stainless steel Â brass Â plastic

Depending on the materials used in the hot water circuit (installation to be provided by the customer), corrosion

damage may occur due to material incompatibilities. This must be taken into account, in particular where

galvanised materials and those containing aluminium are used. A filter may have to be provided if there is a

danger of water becoming contaminated during operation.

6.1.2 Commissioning of the hot water system

• All installations involving the water and air circuits as well as all electrical installations must have been

properly executed and completed.

• Fill hot water circuit via external connection.

• Bleed the hot water circuit (open hot water taps at the topmost points of use until no more air escapes).

• Perform a leak test of the entire hot water circuit.

• Connect the unit to the power supply.

• Turn on the "heat pump“ switch (Fig. 6) and the slide switch on the remote control (Fig. 7).

• An appropriate heat-up time is required until the max. water temperature is attained (see Appendix, Technical

Data)

• Water heating by means of a supplementary heat source (applies only to HPWH with int. heat exchanger) is

possible by switching on the charging pump for the heat exchanger (Fig. 6) (provided the required external

If the 'heat pump' switch on the HPWH is activated (position “ “) and the slide switch on the remote control is in

position " I ", water heating, if required, is carried out by the heat pump. In this case, the fan will automatically be

set to a more effective (next higher) setting by the electronic controller.

6.2.3 'Heat pump' switch

If the 'heat pump' switch is placed in position “ “ (On), the heat pump is ready for operation and operating

(depending on the switch position on the remote control) until the max. heat pump temperature is reached.

6.2.4 'Immersion heater' switch

The integrated 1.5 kW heating element can be activated by means of the 'immersion heater' switch when there is

an increased demand for hot water or if a higher hot water temperature (> 58 ±2 °C) is desired.

When the 'immersion heater' switch is in position " I ", the tank content is heated up to the maximum temperature

of the immersion heater controller (factory setting 65 °C); at hot water temperatures > 58 °C, hot water preparation

is effected exclusively by the immersion heater. As an option, the immersion heater can also be configured for

external activation (see item 5.3). When the 'immersion heater' switch is in position “ ” (automatic mode), the

tank content is heated (58°C) by the immersion heater at exhaust air temperatures of

<14 °C.

Note ➪

➪➪

➪ Immersion heater controller

The immersion heater controller is a second control device for the operating range of the electric immersion

heater that operates independently of the hot water controller. The factory-set switch-off temperature of 65 °C can

be changed by a qualified expert (see item 2.3)

6.2.5 'Heat exchanger' switch (unique to LBW300W)

Actuating this switch enables external heat exchanger operation, i.e. water heating (e.g. in winter) can be

performed using a supplementary heat source (e.g. boiler, solar system, etc.), provided the required external

electrical connection has been established. The regulation of the hot water temperature takes place via the

electronic controller of the HPWH.

•

••

• Sensor tube for external temperature sensor

7. Maintenance / Service

CAUTION!

Prior to opening the HPWH, the unit must be disconnected from the power supply; be careful of fan that

may still be rotating!

General

The heat pump water heater is nearly maintenance-free. A few days following the commissioning procedure, a

visual check for possible leaks in the water system or clogging of the condensate drain is to be performed once.

No maintenance activities need to be performed on the refrigeration cycle of the heat pump.

For cleaning the HPWH, simply use a damp cloth and some soapy water. Caution! Do not allow water to come in

contact with the operating controls. Prior to commencing the cleaning procedure, withdraw the mains plug or

disconnect the unit from the power supply.

7.1 Water Circuit / Condensate Drain

The inspection of the water circuit is limited to any filters that may have been field-installed, and the performance

of leak tests. The condensate hose must not be kinked (condensate must be able to drain freely). Dirty water

filters have to be cleaned and replaced, if necessary. The sealing lip valve provided at the condensate hose end

must be periodically checked and cleaned, if necessary.

7.2 Air Circuit

The maintenance activities on the unit are limited to the cleaning of the evaporator, whenever required.

Caution!

There is a hazard of injury from sharp-edged fins. Fins must not be distorted or damaged!

The air filters used in exhaust air systems must regularly be checked for contamination and be cleaned or

replaced, if necessary.

7.3 Sacrificial Anode

The sacrificial anode installed in the hot water tank for corrosion protection purposes, must be checked electrically

on a regular basis, at least every two years after commissioning, and be replaced, if necessary. The electrical

check is to be conducted by means of a suitable ammeter without draining the water in the tank.

Procedure:

n Withdraw PE conductor from tab of sacrificial anode.

o Connect ammeter (0...50 mA) between PE conductor and tab.

p Evaluation of wear of sacrificial anode:

Measured value > 1 mA ➪ sacrificial anode is okay.

Measured value < 1 mA ➪ sacrificial anode must be checked or replaced.

If an unambiguous electrical check is not possible, we recommend that a visual inspection of the sacrificial anode

be performed by a qualified expert.

(For a replacement of the sacrificial anode that may be necessary [to be performed by an expert], the water must

be drained from the tank via the drain valve (to be provided upon installation – see appendix.

Caution: Sacrificial anodes that are impaired in their function will reduce the life of the unit!
