ELT

= entering load fluid temperature to heat pump

EER

= cooling energy effciency (TC/KW)

LLT

= leaving load fluid temperature from heat pump

PSI

= pressure drop in pounds per square inch

LGPM = load flow in gallons per minute

FT HD = pressure drop in feet of head

LWPD = load heat exchanger water pressure drop

KW =

kilowatt

EST

= entering source fluid temperature to heat pump

HR

= heat rejected in MBTUH

LST

= leaving source fluid temperature from heat pump

TC

= total cooling capacity in MBTUH

SGPM = source flow in gallons per minute

COP

= coefficient of performance (HC/KW x 3.413)

SWPD = source heat exchanger water pressure drop

HC

= heating capacity in MBTUH

HE

= heat of extraction in MBTUH

Verify the following:

• High voltage is correct and matches nameplate

• Fuses, breakers and wire size are correct

• Low voltage wiring is complete

• Piping is complete and the water system has been

cleaned and flushed

• Air is purged from closed loop system

• Isolation valves are open and water control valves or loop

pumps are wired

• Service/access panels are in place

• Transformer has been switched to lower voltage tap if

needed (208/230 volt units only)

• Unit controls are in “off” position

• Flow switches are installed and ready or wires

are jumpered

• Freeze detection setpoints have been set in

the microprocessor

WARNING: Verify ALL water controls are open

and allow water flow PRIOR to engaging the

compressor. Failure to do so can result in freezing

the heat exchanger or water lines causing

permanent damage to the unit.

Unit Startup

Startup Steps

• Set thermostat control above cooling setpoint.

• Set thermostat control in cooling mode.

• Slowly reduce the control setting until both the

compressor and water control valve/loop pumps are

activated. Verify that the compressor is on and that

the water flow rate is correct by measuring pressure

drop through the heat exchanger and comparing to the

Pressure Drop table. Check for correct rotation of scroll

compressors. Switch any two power leads at the L1, L2,

and L3 line voltage termination block if incorrect.

• Perform a cooling capacity test by multiplying GPM x ΔT

x 485 (antifreeze/water). Use 500 for 100% water. Check

capacity against catalog data at same conditions.

• Set control to “OFF” position.

• Leave unit “OFF” for approximately five (5) minutes to

allow pressure to equalize.

• Adjust control below heating setpoint.

• Set control in “HEAT” position mode.

• Slowly increase the control setting until both compressor

and water control valve/loop pumps are activated. The

reversing valve should be heard changing over.

• Perform a heating capacity test by multiplying GPM x ΔT

x 485 (antifreeze/water). Use 500 for 100% water. Check

capacity against catalog data at same conditions.

• Check for vibrations, noise and water leaks.

• Set system to maintain desired setpoint.

• Instruct the owner/operator of correct control and

system operation.
