2 Appliance description
2.1 Safety devices
- This appliance is designed for use in heating with an external
temperature of between -20°C and 30°C. Outside this range,
the heat pump stops.
- A set of security devices based on measuring the temperature
within the circuits and the current in the compressor protects
it against excess pressure in the refrigerating fl uid.
- A fl ow detector protects the appliance as a whole.
- To prevent stagnation of the refrigerant fl uid when the
compressor is stopped, a safety device is activated when the
outside temperature lowers. The compressor is then heated by
a low electrical current through the motor windings,
- A temperature sensor on exit from the compressor limits the
functioning of the heat pump when the temperature measured
by this sensor is greater than 100°C. From 117°C, the heat
pump stops.
- A temperature sensor on the fi nned heat exchanger and a
tachometer on the fan checks that the fan is working.
- A water fl ow sensor ensures the security of the water
circulation. If the fl ow is too low (< 420 l/h), the appliance
stops and re-starts when the fl ow comes within the normal
functioning range (>500l/h).
