Heat Pump Pack 2 LWD 70A/SX + HMD1 SE with Return Buffer WPS61

Introduction

This is a brief guide to help with the planning, installation and pre-commissioning of the Omnie Heat Pump Pack 2 incorporating the alpha innotec LWD 70A/SX + HMD1 SE heat pump. Detailed information is available in the Operating Manuals provided by AIT Deutschland who manufacture the heat pumps. The Primary Operating Manual contains most of the installation information such as dimensions, the Supplementary manual contains the performance data for the single phase units which includes the LWD 70 A/SX

The LWD range consist of an outdoor thermal unit (LWD) and an indoor hydraulic unit (HMD). The LWD has the finned heat exchanger/fan unit, compressor, water heat exchanger and controls in a weather proof case.

The indoor HMD includes the circulating pump, pressurised system safety set, 12ltr expansion vessel, main control PCB and the User Interface encased in an expanded polypropylene box. 3 electrical supplies are connected to the HMD from the consumer unit as are the cables from the outdoor LWD unit. See the HMD Operating Manual for full installation data.

The Omnie air source heat pump packs always include a buffer tank to ensure effective defrosting and efficient operation.

A 60ltr wall mounted tank is supplied with pack 1. Make sure there is space in the house for this along with the HMD unit.

Locating the buffer tank under the HMD unit is popular with regular installers. The buffer tank connections are on the bottom with a 1/2″ tapping on the top for a vent valve. The buffer is also an excellent air separator.

Location

Always consider carefully the location of all the components to comply with all regulations and with the manufactures instructions in the Operating Manuals. Ask yourself if there is enough space around the units for future maintenance and air flow. Check with the Operating Manuals for the minimum space required.

Air Supply

Good air flow through the outdoor unit is vital to the operation, the clue is in the name “Air Source”. Do not restrict the air movement through the unit in any way and be aware that the exhaust air could be as much as 10 degrees lower than the surrounding air so make sure it can dissipate and not lurk around the house or garden.

Snow and leaves can block the fins on the heat pump so consider this when choosing the location. It is best to keep it out of direct sunshine as they can get very hot in summer which will deteriorate the casing over time. West facing means that it will be subject to driving rain and wind which is not good. East and North are preferable in the UK as these are the driest least windy sides of a house. Remember when you need the heating most there wont be any benefit from placing it on the south side.

Floor or Wall Brackets

Choose whether your LWD unit is to fix to a wall or sit on a concrete base. Either option is supplied in the pack, alternative mountings are not an option. If the supplied brackets are modified or not used it may affect the performance and the warranty could be invalid.

Condensate Drain

During normal operation the outdoor unit collects moisture from the air, this is captured by an internal drip tray in the bottom of the unit which is fitted with a drain. The drain should be allowed to run away either to a building drain or to an underground soak-away. This condensate water comes from the air and is therefore inert and can be discharged into a normal soak-away or surface drain. It is important to keep the drain short and at a steep angle, it should also be lagged to prevent freezing.

Pipe Sizes

Note the pipe sizes on the schematic because they may be larger than you would expect. This is vital for a reliable efficient system, smaller pipes will lead to problems.

Building Regulations

Part L2, G3 and P

The installation of a heat pump is notifiable work under the Building Regulations. The regulations are in place to ensure that important works are carried out to a minimum acceptable standard. Exceeding the standards will improve efficiency performance and reduce running costs. Always check with the local Building Control Department at your local authority before starting work. If the work is not registered it can cause problems when it comes to selling your property in the future or could invalidate insurance in the event of an indecent.

MCS Certification

The LWD 70A/SX is MSC certified so can be the heart of an MCS certified installation. In order to obtain the MCS certificate the end user must have a contract with an MCS registered installation contractor. This must be in place before any work starts on the project. The MCS certificate process cannot be carried out retrospectively. Visit the MCS web site for further information.

Setting out and Installing the Outdoor Unit
System Components Make sure you have all the components on the hydraulic schematic. Take note of the items that are excluded from the pack like pipework and lagging, isolating valves etc. Wall Duct Kit LWD Wall Duct The Wall Duct Kit is an optional item that is a neat solution for wall penetrations. The kit consists of a 1000mm long 110mm diameter plastic duct with rigid foam insulation segments, 2 No. 28mm copper tubes fitted with a flat face 1″ BSP coupling on one end that connects to the 2 No. flexible hoses that connect to the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit. Provision is made in the duct for the condensate drain and the cables. Included in the kit is a sturdy moulded cover that is screwed to the underside of the heat pump covering the pipe and cable entry, the wall duct and the condensate drain. A moulded cover is included to cover the pipes at the rear between the unit and the wall. The wall duct kit includes the flexible hoses so if this is not being used they need to be included separately. Flexible Hoses Flexible hoses are supplied if the Wall Duct kit is not selected. The hoses connect to the heat exchanger in the outdoor LWD unit with 1″ swivel nut flanges with fibre gaskets that are supplied in the ancillary box. They are needed to prevent both vibration being transmitted into the pipework but also to prevent stress on the heat exchanger connections. Positioning the Outdoor Unit; Floor Feet or Wall brackets The pack will include either feet for mounting on a concrete slab or brackets for fixing to a wall. Whichever way you are mounting the unit it sits on 4 No. rubber bobbins that are supplied in the ancillary box. Note: – DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE CASING UNTIL THE UNIT IS IN POSITION and you are ready to connect the pipes and cables. If floor mounting cast a concrete slab to the dimensions shown in the primary Operating Manual. If you need a soak-away for the condensate drain, incorporate it under the slab using crushed stone and cast in a vertical 2″ plastic pipe as shown on the layout drawing this is to keep the drain as short and straight as possible. Bolt the feet to the slab as shown leaving the nuts hand tight until you have mounted the unit. If wall mounting fix the brackets to the wall first noting the dimensions shown in the Primary Operating Manual. Prepare the wall opening to line up with the connections under the unit. If using the Wall Duct Kit it includes a casing that screws onto the underside of the heat pump to encase the pipes and cables. Remove the packaging from the LWD unit and locate the cardboard box containing the ancillary parts. Remove the screws holding the transport brackets to the wooden pallet. Locate the 4 No. rubber bobbins in the ancillary box and screw them into the M8 threaded holes on the underside of the unit at each corner. Under no circumstances remove any of the casing at this point. Note that the fan is on the rear of the unit. The louvred grill is on the front of the casing. Using the transport/lifting brackets bolted to the under side of the unit carefully lift, with assistance, and place the unit on the brackets with the opposite thread on the bobbins dropping through the holes. Take care when lifting as the unit is heavy at about 150kg. Fit and tighten the M8 nuts and washers provided to the underside of the rubber bobbins holding the heat pump in place. The rubber isolates any vibration produced by the unit and also allows a small amount of movement. The flexible hoses allow for this movement and prevent stresses on the heat exchanger. The hydraulic connections to the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit are accessed by removing the lid and the left hand end panel. A Torx bit is provided in the accessories box to help with this. Try not to lose the screws. A foam rubber closing plate is included, this is slipped around the two hydraulic hoses when they are in position then slid down until it sits in a recess in the base closing it off to dirt noise and most importantly animal infestation. The cables are passed through the holes provided.

Strainer Omnie supply a Filterball strainer with the pack. this is sufficient on a new system with underfloor heating. it is essentially a ball valve with a 0.7mm mesh gauze strainer in the ball. when in the off position the gauze basket can be removed and cleaned without the need for other isolating valves. If adding the heat pump to an existing system the previously had a boiler fitted add a good quality magnetic filter after power flushing the pipework etc. The gauze strainer with 0.6-0.8mm mesh is still needed. Beware; most Y type strainers are not suitable because the mesh is too small. System Cleaning A clean hydraulic system is essential for efficiency and reliability. A chemical clean of the system is essential before putting into service to remove mill scale, installation debris and bacteria. all of which will clog the system and stop it working. Bacteria affects modern low temperature heating systems because it is not sterilised by the temperature as it was in the past. Bacteria will produce slime that grows while corroding the metal components in the system and will block plastic underfloor heating pipes. Residual dirt and soldering flux is nutrient to bacteria, it will also block the narrow passages of the heat exchanger thereby increasing the running costs while reducing comfort. Thermal Fluid The heating fluid is circulated through external pipes and the outdoor heat exchanger. In order to protect the components from freezing in the event of a power cut during exceptionally cold weather Omnie recommend and supply premixed water/glycol solution. Not only does this protect the system from freezing to -13degC it also protects against scale, corrosion and bacteria. Mono propylene glycol is mixed with de-mineralised water and supplied in 20ltr drums. The mixture also contains biocide and inhibitors to protect against infection and corrosion. Under normal circumstances the solution should be good for the life of the system. The fluid must be added to a clean system. System Balancing It is vital to balance the flow throughout the system. This must be done at the pre-commissioning stage and should include: – Balancing the flows through each underfloor loop. Use the flow setters then check that the correct temperature difference is achieved across the manifolds (<=7K) Ensuring the correct flow rate is passing through the heat pump, both with the heating circuit fully open and closed. This must include setting the by-pass valve to the correct system pressure and the minimum heat pump flow. This is around 0.3bar but must be checked and adjusted as no two systems are the same.

Electrical Installation
The heat pump requires three separate power supplies; Compressor Supply 230V 20A Type C MCB Back-up Heater Supply 230V 32A Type B MCB Control Circuit Supply: – 230V 16A Type B MCB These are connected to the indoor Hydraulic Module. The outdoor Heat Pump LWD unit is in turn connected to the Hydraulic Module (HMD). If the HMD is to be installed remote to the consumer unit it can be helpful to use a 3 way auxiliary consumer unit close to the HMD with an isolator and 3 MCBs which can be supplied with a single cable from the main incomer. In addition to the power supplies it is very useful to incorporate a Cat6 Ethernet cable between the HMD and the location of the broadband router. The controller includes Internet connection to a remote server for remote monitoring which must be hard wired to the router.

Wiring Schematic
This wiring schematic should be read in conjunction with the Operating Manual for the Hydraulic Module HMD1SE. Hydraulic Module 1 Regulations Observe the IET wiring regulations latest edition and follow BS EN7671. Connecting the Outdoor Unit to the Indoor Unit. Electrical work must only be carried out by qualified electricians. The LWD is pre-wired with 3 x 8m long cables. Two cables supply power to the controls and the compressor the third is a data BUS that carries all the operating data and control instructions. These cables have the terminal block code printed along their length; X7 is the compressor power, X10 is the control power and LIN is the data BUS. These cables can be extended up to 25m total length by using the appropriate cable. The power cables must be selected by the installing electrician in accordance with the latest IET Wiring Regulations and BS EN 7671. The LIN BUS should be extended with a screened cable with a minimum of 3 cores with 0.75mm csa, SY type is suitable but connect the screen to the braid and anchor this to the Terry clip on the HMD electrical box as shown in the HMD manual. When removing the HMD cover for the first time you will find a sensor cable coiled up and tucked behind the expansion vessel. This must be attached to the common return pipe as shown on the schematic using the thermal paste and cable ties supplied in the HMD ancillary box. The domestic hot water sensor is supplied loose. The stainless probe is pushed into the middle pocket on the cylinder and wired into the X4-TBW/gnd. The white box in the HMD ancilliary box is the Ambient Temperature Sensor (AT). this must be mounted on a north or north east wall ideally 2/3 of the building height or at least 3m off the ground. Cable is not provided for this and must be supplied by the installer (we dont know how long it needs to be). 0.5/0.75mm csa twin core flex is an economical choice for this, please dont use Cat.5 it doesnt give good results. Separate all sensor cables from power cables by at least 100mm. A motorised diverter valve is provided to switch from heating to DHW production. This is wired directly into terminal X3, the black wire is the switched live and is connected to BUP, the brown and blue are live and neutral and wire into X10.

This will include pressure testing, chemical cleaning and flushing to remove debris then filling with the correct thermal fluid. alpha innotec recommend filling the system with demineralised water, the Omnie standard is to fill the system with pre-mixed antifreeze solution based on demineralised water. This will protect the system down to a minimum temperature of -10degC and also protect against corrosion and scale build up. Scale is the heating demon which will destroy efficiency and eventually the expensive system components. It is very important that the system is not filled with tap water after cleaning without inhibitor. ideally fill immediately with premixed antifreeze solution then purge the system of air. Oxygen will cause corrosion by consuming inhibitors leaving the system vulnerable.
