Hydronic module (option 116) Pro-Dialog+ includes two operating modes: -- constant pump speed -- constant delta T control. The hydronic module option reduces the installation time. The heat pump is factory-equipped with the main hydronic components required for the installation: screen filter, water pump, relief valve, water pressure transducer, flow switch. The Pro-Dialog+ control allows integration of system and water pump protection devices (insufficient water flow rate, water pressure, water flow rate etc.). The pump supplied with the hydronic module is a variable speed pump. With variable speed flow, the system no longer requires the control valve at the unit outlet. However, for applications with two-way valves a bypass system must be kept to guarantee the minimum flow rate.

Legend Typical hydronic circuit diagram 14 An automatic pump start-up algorithm protects the heat exchanger and the hydronic module piping against frost down to -10°C outside air temperature, as standard. If necessary, increased frost protection down to -20 °C is possible by adding heaters to the hydronic module piping (see option 42). 19 11 10 9 13 12 Notes: • Units without hydronic module (standard units) are equipped with a flow switch and two temperature sensors (7 and 9). • For units equipped with hydronic module, the pressure sensor located upstream of the pump to prevent cavitation is installed on a connection without Schraeder valves. Depressurise and drain the system before any intervention. 5 21 410 C A R R I E R 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7
