ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

WATER HEATER APPLICATION

This water heater is designed for the purpose of heating potable water by

simultaneously reducing building chilling load. Its use in an application other than

this may shorten its life.

MODEL TYPE

Congratulations for choosing a Rheem®

commercial water to water (W2W) heat

pump water heater. The Rheem W2W

heat pump water heater is designed for

outdoor or indoor installation.

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The heat pump (compressor, evaporator

and condenser) will operate until a water

temperature of up to 65C is reached.

To meet the requirements of the National

Plumbing Standard (AS/NZS3500.4) the

temperature of the stored water must not

be below 60C.

HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE

RISK OF SCALD INJURY

This water heater can deliver water at

temperatures which can cause scalding.

Check the water temperature before use,

such as when entering a shower or filling

a bath or basin, to ensure it is suitable for the application and will not cause scald

injury.

We recommend and it may also be required by regulations that an approved

temperature limiting device be fitted into the hot water pipe work to the bathroom

and ensuite when this water heater is installed. This will keep the water

temperature below 50C (55C in NZ) at the bathroom and ensuite. The risk of

scald injury will be reduced and still allow hotter water to the kitchen and laundry.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Set Point Quick Setting

Press ‘prg’ from the main display screen and the Set Point page will appear.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

TO TURN OFF THE WATER HEATER

Switch off the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the water heater

Close the cold side and hot side water isolation valve at the inlets to the water

heater.

TO TURN ON THE WATER HEATER

First, ensure the water is connected to storage tanks, the system is filled with

water and all valves between the tanks and the water heater are open

Open the cold side and hot side water isolation valve fully at the inlets to the

water heater.

Switch on the electrical supply at the isolating switch to the water heater.

Note: The water heater may not turn on immediately when it is first switched on,

if it is switched on within 20 minutes to 2 hours of it having been switched off at

the isolating switch, or the heat pump has just completed a heating cycle. The

water heater will wait until the conditions for start-up are favourable in order to

protect the compressor from damage. This may take up to 20 minutes to 2 hours.

The auxiliary booster will operate instead of the heat pump if the heat pump is in

fault or sufficient energy is not available from the chiller.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY?

Installation requirements are shown on page 19. The water heater must be

installed:

by a qualified person, and

in accordance with the installation instructions, and

in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local

codes and regulatory authority requirements.

In New Zealand, the installation must also conform with Clause G12 of the New

Zealand Building Code.

DOES THE WATER CHEMISTRY AFFECT THE WATER HEATER?

This advice relates to the cold water side and hot water side of the heat

pump water heater.

The water heater is suitable for most public water supplies, however some

water chemistries may have detrimental effects on the water heater, its

components and fittings. Refer to “Water Supplies” on page 14. If you are

not sure, have your water chemistry checked against the conditions described

on pages 14 to 15.

ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST?

Your water heater is supported by a manufacturer’s warranty (refer to page 72).

There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water

heater will provide. These include but are not limited to the water chemistry, the

water pressure, temperature (inlets and outlets) and the water usage pattern.

Precautions

Where damage to property can occur in the event of the water heater leaking,

the water heater must be installed in a safe tray or be suitably bunded.

Construction, installation and draining of a safe tray must comply with AS/NZS

3500.4 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.

The water heater must be maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and

Installation Instructions. Refer to “Regular Care” on page 12.

If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is

necessary for your application, or business you should ensure that you have

back up redundancy within the hot water system design. This should ensure the

continuity of hot water supply in the event that this water heater were to become

inoperable for any reason. We recommend you seek advice from your plumber

or specifier about your needs and building back up redundancy into your hot

water supply system.

ENVIRONMENT

At the end of the service life of the heat pump water heater and prior to the water

heater being disposed of, a person qualified to work with refrigerants must

recover the refrigerant from within the sealed system. The refrigerant must not

be vented to atmosphere. Phone your nearest Rheem Service Department or

Accredited Service Agent (or Service Centre in NZ) to arrange for an inspection.

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

The Rheem commercial water to water heat pump is an instantaneous type and

does not have an integral storage cylinder. The unit is designed to be installed

indoors or outdoors. The water heater’s evaporator absorbs heat from the

returning chilled water circuit or condenser loop and transfers this heat into the

potable water. A circulator transfers

the heated water to a bank of storage

tanks. By taking heat from the chilled

water circuit, the heat pump reduces

load on chiller as colder water returns

to the building chiller circuit. The heat

pump produces a sound level of up to

59 dBA (measured at 3 metres) when

it is operating.

When hot water is drawn off and cold water enters the storage tanks, a remote

thermostat activates the compressor and circulating pumps of the water heater.

The chiller return water (building heat) is drawn in through the cold side inlet and

then through the evaporator (single wall heat exchanger), where heat is

transferred to a refrigerant fluid. The fluid is compressed and passes to the

condenser (double wall heat exchanger) where heat is transferred into the

potable water. The pump circulates water from the bottom of the storage tanks

through the heat exchanger and the heated water is circulated back into the

storage tanks. This process continues until the water in the storage tanks

reaches the set temperature.

The heat pump is designed to operate most efficiently at cold side temperatures

between a minimum of 12C and maximum of 35°C. Operation with higher cold

side inlet temperature is possible, however must be engineered in consultation

with Rheem. The efficiency of the water heater is relative to the building chilled

water circuit temperature and the incoming hot side (potable) water temperature.

Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater to provide safe and

efficient operation.

FREEZE PROTECTION

Ice may begin to form in the evaporator when the cold side outlet temperature

falls below 4°C or the flow rate of cold side water is excessively low or the pump

on the cold side fails, and this may damage the evaporator heat exchanger.

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

To prevent this damage, the pumps for

both sides of the water heater are sized

and supplied by Rheem and the heat

pump is supplied with a flow switch

sensor and a low temperature cut out

switch. The heat pump will terminate its

operation if poor flow rate is sensed or

the cold side outlet temperature or hot

side outlet temperature falls below

5°C.

AUXILIARY BOOST OPERATION

There are two types of auxiliary boost operation, which operate as follows:

ANTIFREEZE AUXILIARY BOOST OPERATION

When freeze protection activates, the heat pump will cease operating. It is then

possible to activate auxiliary heating mode.

In auxiliary heating mode the controller deactivates the heat pump and switches

to an auxiliary gas or electric water heater, if installed and activated in the menu.

A pump circulates water from the storage tanks through the auxiliary water heater

until the set temperature is reached.

When the cold side outlet temperature and hot side outlet temperature rises to

10°C, the auxiliary heating mode is deactivated and the heat pump starts

operating again.

For installations using multiple heat pumps in a master/slave configuration,

activation of antifreeze auxiliary boost operation on any heat pump activates the

auxiliary boost on all LAN connected heat pumps.

BACKUP AUXILIARY BOOST OPERATION

If the heat pump is in fault mode, the controller switches to an auxiliary gas or

electric water heater, if installed and activated in the menu. A pump circulates

water from the storage tanks through the auxiliary water heater until the set

temperature is reached.

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

For multiple heat pump (Master/Slave) configuration, the auxiliary booster will

operate instead of the heat pumps if fifty percent (50%) or more heat pumps are

in fault.

For installations using multiple heat pumps in a master/slave configuration;

activation of backup auxiliary boost operation on any heat pump activates the

auxiliary boost on all LAN connected heat pumps.

The auxiliary boost should be set to 60°C.

The auxiliary boost will remain active until the water heater fault is cleared.

Warning: Rheem will not be responsible for higher utility bills due to

excessive use of auxiliary boost heater. It is the customers’ responsibly

to monitor the system regularly for its correct operation. Rheem

recommends monitoring via BMS (modules supplied separately).

MAINS PRESSURE

The water heater is designed to operate at mains pressure by connecting directly

to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds

that shown on page 21, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.

THERMAL CUT OUT

The refrigeration circuit is protected by thermal sensors. These will activate a

thermal cut out in the event of excessive heat in the refrigeration system.

If the thermal cut out has activated, the heat pump will not operate for a period

of 20 minutes to 2 hours. The water heater will make two more attempts to start

up. If the thermal cut out is tripped again after the third attempt, the system will

enter lock out and the alarm contacts will close. If connected to a BMS, this will

alert the user that the unit is not operating.

The lockout condition can be manually reset by switching the power to the water

heater off and then on.

CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY

A timer can be set through the heat pump control panel to limit the hours of

operation of the water heater (e.g. to reduce noise at night).

The operation of the heat pump can also be controlled by setting up tariff option

on the control panel to manage operating costs.
