WATER PIPING
REFRIGERANT AND WATER PIPING
◆ Addional DHW Circuit recommendaon
In places where possible hard water areas, to prevent and minims scale situaons, it is
recommended to reduce stored water temperature to a maximum of 55°C, as huge scale quanty
could damage the water tank and the electrical heater.
Flush the domesc water circuit with at least 10 mes its volume of water. The life of the water
tank will be shorter if groundwater (spring water, well water, etc..) is used without treatment which
can lead to the corrosion of the tank. The water must not be aggressive or encrusng at any me.
The result of calculang the Langelier Index should be between +/- 0.5.
In installaon locaons where the result of Langelier Index calculaon are out of the expected
value with a tendency to corrosive water, it is recommended to install an acve anode accessory.
In the regions where the water is very hard (or out of requirements values) or where the result
of Langelier Index calculaon are out of expected value with a tendency to hard water, it is
recommended ng a soener system. Please ensure that soener system will be capable of
providing eecve protecon against corrosion. It is recommended to install an acve anode
accessory.
As DHW Tank water is being used for storing drinking water, this water has to be in accordance
with naonal regulaons and Hitachi’s quality minimum requirements. The use of soeners, acve
anodes or others protecve systems will not bring a derogaon from Hitachi’s provided warranty.
5.3.3.1 Water lling
◆ Space heang
1 Check that a water check valve (ATW-WCV-01 accessory) with a shut-o valve (eld supplied)
is connected to the water lling point (water inlet connecon) for lling the space heang
hydraulic circuit (see “5.4 Space heang and DHW”).
2 Make sure all the valves are open (water inlet/outlet shut-o valves and the rest of valves of the
space heang installaon components).
3 Ensure that the air purgers of the indoor unit and installaon are open (turn the indoor unit air
purger twice at least).
4 Check that the drain pipes connected to the safety valve (and to the drain pan in case of
installing the “Cooling kit” accessory) are correctly connected to the general draining system.
The safety valve is later used as an air purging device during the water lling procedure.
5 Fill the space heang circuit with water unl the pressure displayed on the manometer reaches
approximately 1.8 bar.
NOTE
While the system is being lled with water, it is highly recommended to operate the safety valve
manually so as to help with the air purging procedure.
