What Key Steps Should Not Be Ignored in Installing an Air - source Heat Pump Heating System?

I. Installation Steps of the Air - source Heat Pump Heating System

II. Installation “Rules” of the Air - source Heat Pump Heating System

1. Necessity of the Survey Work before Installation
   Before installing the main unit, it is very necessary to survey the installation site.
2. High Requirements of the Main Unit for the Installation Space Environment
   The air - source heat pump has high requirements for the installation space environment, and different installation locations have different requirements.
   The air - source heat pump main unit can be installed on the ground, on the roof, or on the wall. If it is installed on the ground or on the wall, to ensure that the heat absorption and heat dissipation of the main unit's heat exchanger are not blocked, the distance between the main unit and the surrounding walls or other obstacles should not be too small. In addition, the equipment foundation should be well - done. When the equipment is installed on the ground, it should be fixed firmly with expansion bolts. If it is installed on the roof, the load - bearing capacity of the roof should be considered. Installation is strictly not allowed on roofs that do not meet the load - bearing requirements. For those that can be installed on the roof, attention should be paid to the air - outlet direction of the air - source heat pump. It is best to install the main unit with the wind direction, so that the heat - exchange effect of the main unit will be good.
   For the air - source heat pump to have good heating performance, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the main unit during installation. If the ventilation effect is poor, the air intake of the equipment is difficult to guarantee, and the air flow is likely to be short - circuited. The heating capacity of the equipment will be significantly reduced. In severe cases, the equipment will frost and defrost frequently, and the equipment will do useless work.
3. The Importance of Building a “Solid Foundation”
   The foundation of the equipment must be firm and solid. On this basis, when placing and adjusting the main unit, it should be stable, ensure vertical installation, and be fixed with expansion bolts.
   Some main units are installed unevenly, which causes certain difficulties in the discharge of the equipment's condensate water. Once the condensate water cannot be discharged smoothly, in severe cold weather, the water - receiving tray will inevitably freeze. Long - term accumulation will block the fin air intake, resulting in a decrease in the heating capacity of the equipment. In addition, shock - absorption measures should be taken between the main unit and the bottom foundation. The rigid pipes connected to the main unit should adopt spring shock - absorption brackets to avoid the pipeline transmitting vibrations to the building structure.
4. Measures for Protecting the Equipment from Rain, Snow, etc.
   In actual installation, issues such as the drainage, rain - proof, snow - proof, lightning - proof, and maintenance space of the main unit equipment also need to be considered. If these details are not considered properly, they will directly affect the heating effect and service life of the air - source heat pump heating system.
   In terms of rain - proof and snow - proof, air - source heat pump products with side - air - outlet are better and less affected by rain and snow. For air - source heat pump products with top - air - outlet, it is best to install a snow - proof wind cover to prevent snowflakes from falling and piling up on the fan blades of the main unit when the equipment stops, thus causing the motor of the main unit to be stuck and burned out.
   For snowy days, some installers of enterprises install bottom brackets for the equipment when building the equipment foundation or during construction, thus avoiding the problem of snow accumulation caused by snowy days. In terms of rain - proof, it is mainly to ensure that rainwater can be discharged as soon as possible after entering the equipment. This requires that the equipment must be installed horizontally to prevent serious water accumulation in the equipment.
   In addition, if a rain - proof shed or snow - proof wind cover is installed to protect the main unit, attention should be paid to ensuring that the heat absorption and heat dissipation of the main unit's heat exchanger are not blocked.

   

   
   The installation of the air - source heat pump system is an important link that cannot be ignored. The installation steps and the problems that need to be paid attention to during the installation process are matters that every user should care about and keep in mind.
