Application

The HEAPE heat pump diverter has been designed to control the flow of the water circulating from a heat pump to a geyser. When a heat pump is first turned on, there is a warm up period. If water is allowed to circulate back to the geyser during this time, the geyser will cool down at the top which is undesirable.

During the warm up period, the diverter short circuits water back to the inlet of the heat pump, ensuring that the water at the top of the geyser remains hot. Once the heat pump is warmed up, the diverter opens the circuit to the geyser and water heating commences.

Features and benefits

Can be installed in any orientation

High specification hot water proof interal components

Automatic operation

Installation

Install as shown in the diagram

Do not apply heat near valve during installation

Valve must be protected by a inline strainer

Flush pipe work prior to fitting

Installation must comply with local authority requirements

After installation, set the diversion temperature.

Wind the adjustment screw fully out (anticlockwise)

Start the heat pump and allow it to warm up.

The short circuit line back to the heat pump should heat up.

When it is hot, slowly wind the diverter adjusting screw becomes hot.
