  • Page 8: Checklist For Ecodan

    INTRODUCTION Checklist for Ecodan This checklist has been created to help you understand the differences from other types of heating systems you may have installed. We suggest you use this checklist as a helpful summary of the main differences over conventional heating systems, but you will also need to understand and comply with all of the technical details contained within this document to ensure a successful installation.
  • Page 9: Heat Pump System Overview

    INTRODUCTION Heat Pump System Overview The Ecodan air source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the outside air and transfers this into a property in the form of hot water as a conventional heating system does. Due to the outputs available, domestic hot water always takes priority over space heating. The Flow Temperature Controller 2 (FTC2) targets a preset cylinder target temperature on the TH5 sensor within the cylinder pocket and communicates with the Ecodan until this temperature is achieved.
  • Page 10 INTRODUCTION How a heat pump works The heat pump essentially works the same way as your refrigerator but in reverse. The Ecodan is hermetically sealed (no refrigeration piping involved) with R410A refrigerant. The cycle it completes to produce heat is known as the vapour- compression refrigeration cycle: The first phase begins with the refrigerant being cold and at low pressure.
  • Page 11: Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump

    INTRODUCTION Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump Must be mounted external to the property in a suitable location with a minimum distance of 300mm from the nearest wall at the rear of the unit. For minimum distances on any side of the Ecodan refer to page 23. The unit should never be enclosed.

    SYSTEM SET -UP Hot water set-up To set- activation of the hot water mode is required. Hot water temperatures can not be changed dependent on the outdoor conditions, they will remain constant. The factory settings for the flow temperature is 50°C but this should be increased to 55°C.
  • Page 47 SYSTEM SET -UP Locking Function To ensure that the Ecodan is only operated by signals from the two channel programmer it is necessary to undertake the following procedure and lock the controller as part of the commissioning stage. When this function is activated it is not possible to unnecessarily operate the Ecodan when there is no demand for either central heating or hot water.
  • Page 48: Weather Compensation

    SYSTEM SET -UP Weather compensation: These are used for variable operating conditions. At cooler outdoor temperatures the flow temperature will be hotter; while warmer outdoor temperatures provide very little heating. A cut-off temperature will not provide any heating. These available when Heating ECO mode is activated, this is a far more efficient way to operate Ecodan. The recommended settings are listed within table below.
  • Page 49 SYSTEM SET -UP Underfloor heating Heat pumps provide lower flow temperatures than traditional gas fired boilers, this means that the installation conditions and heat emitters need to be managed carefully. These lower flow temperatures suit the conditions required for under-floor heating systems and if installed and designed correctly can deliver a more comfortable, consistent temperature whilst also increasing the efficiency.
