The Calorex heat pump provides thermodynamic heating by means of a vapour compression
cycle, (similar to that employed in a conventional refrigerator), in addition to operating as an active
solar collector.
The EVAPORATOR collects the heat from the air. This is either atmospheric
air, which has been heated by the sun, or internal air, which has been

Therefore the air gives up its heat to the refrigerant which then vaporises
to a gas. This pre-heated refrigerant gas then passes to:

Coefficient of Performance
The efficiency of a heat pump is usually called its ‘Coefficient of Performance’ – (C.O.P.) which is simply a ratio of heat output to energy input,
both being expressed in kW. Thus a heat pump absorbing 1 kW of electricity, collecting 4 kW of energy from the air, and delivering 5 kW of
heat to the water is said to have a C.O.P. of 5:1. Naturally this ratio will vary according to the temperature of the ambient air.

to specified rating, (see Data Sheet). H.R.C. fuses are recommended.
An isolator which disconnects all poles must be fitted within 2m and
in sight of machine.*
N.B. This voltage must be available at the heat pump whilst running.
The voltage must not drop below the above figures when starting
the machine.
*Note the isolator must have a minimum of 3mm air gap when
turned off.
Note
All machines are fitted with a phase protection relay and will not run if the phases are not connected in correct order (phase sequence) or
if the supply voltage is 15% less than the nominal voltage. (415V for 3N~ 50Hz) . The lamp on the phase rotation relay, situated in the electric
box, is illuminated when the phases are correctly connected and the voltage is sufficient. The under voltage protection feature is not present
in phase protection relays fitted in 220V 3~ 60Hz machines.

Any water fitting which, when installed, will carry or receive water
from the public mains water supply in the UK, must comply with the
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws. These
require that a water fitting should not cause waste, misuse, undue
consumption or contamination of the water supply and must be ‘of
an appropriate quality and standard’.
