Fol-lowing a waiting period, the product attempts to startonce more. After three failed start attempts in succes-sion, a fault message is displayed.– If the product is switched off, the crankcase housingheating is switched on when the compressor outlet tem-perature reaches 7 °C in order to prevent possible dam-age caused by switching it back on.– If the compressor inlet temperature and the compressoroutlet temperature are below 1 °C, the compressor doesnot start up.– A temperature sensor on the compressor outlet limits theproduct's operation if the measured temperature exceedsthe maximum permissible temperature. The maximumpermissible temperature depends on the evaporation andcondensation temperature.– The product measures the flow rate of the connectedheating circuit when starting up the product.– If the heating circuit temperature falls below 3 °C, theproduct's frost protection function is automatically ac-tivated as the heating pump is started. In addition, frostprotection agent should be added to the heating water asthe heating water temperature may fall below the freez-ing point in the event of a power cut, which poses a riskof frost to the heating installation.NoteOperating the heat pump outside the applicationlimits results in the heat pump being switched offby the internal control and safety devices.3.2 Design of the heat pump systemThe heat pump system consists of the following components:– aroTHERM heat pump– VWZ AI heat pump control module– Additional hydraulic components, if required– VRC 470 system controllerThe heat pump can be operated by the VWZ AI heat pumpcontrol module. The extended operation of the heat pump iscarried out by the system controller.3.3 FunctionalityThe product comprises the following circuits:– The coolant circuit releases heat into the heating circuitby means of evaporation, compression, condensationand expansion– The heating circuit3.3.1 Heating mode123 45 61 Evaporator2 4-way valve3 Fan4 Compressor5 Electronic expansionvalve6 Plate heat exchanger3.3.2 Thawing123 45 61 Evaporator 2 4-way valve
