BANDON Heat Pump Heating System Winter Start-up Guide

As the heating season approaches, is your heat pump heating system ready to meet the challenges of winter? In order to ensure that this efficient and environmentally friendly heating partner can start smoothly and provide a stable supply of spring-like warmth throughout the winter, we have carefully compiled a detailed guide before and after the start-up to help you enjoy a worry-free and warm winter.

1. Preparation before startup

Check the outdoor unit

The area around the installation location of the unit should be kept clean and no debris should be piled up to avoid affecting ventilation. Once debris is found, please remove it immediately to keep it well ventilated. If the fins are blocked by dust and lint, it will seriously hinder the heat exchange efficiency, reduce the heating capacity, and increase energy consumption. The accumulation on the motor blades may cause damage to the blades during operation, affecting the overall use. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of the outdoor unit should not be underestimated.

Check the water system and circuits

Systematically check the pipe water system, water pump, filter and valve to ensure that there is no blockage or leakage. At the same time, check whether the insulation pipe is intact and without cracks. If any problems are found, they must be repaired quickly and the air inside the pipe must be completely emptied to ensure the smooth operation of the system. In addition, carefully check all wire connection points to eliminate the hidden dangers of false connection and check whether the wire is damaged; enter the inside of the electric control cabinet, clean up all debris such as spider webs and leaves, keep it clean and tidy, and escort the stable operation of the equipment.

2. Precautions during use

Ensure the unit is powered normally

In severe cold weather, the air energy unit needs to be powered normally. As long as the unit's water circuit is unobstructed and the power supply is stable and continuous, the unit's built-in antifreeze protection mechanism will be effective all day long, even when it is turned off. Once the unit circuit fails to supply power normally in cold weather, its antifreeze function will immediately fail, which may cause the unit to be scrapped due to freezing of the refrigerant system and water ingress to the entire unit. Therefore, do not turn off the host power supply at will, and be sure to keep the unit circuit unobstructed in winter to ensure its antifreeze performance and extend the service life of the unit.

Power outage

Please note that when the ambient temperature drops below 0℃ and there is a risk of long-term power outage or power outage, you must take timely measures: completely drain the water in the heating system, or use antifreeze designed for heat pumps, which can have a certain antifreeze effect.

Pay attention to clearing debris and snow

A good air intake and exhaust environment is an important condition to ensure the normal operation of the air energy heat pump. It is necessary to clean up the debris around the unit in time. Especially when encountering severe weather such as blizzards, it is necessary to keep the unit equipment body free of water and snow, ensure smooth drainage, and avoid ice climbing. Pay special attention to whether the top exhaust fan blades are piled with snow and connected to the air guide ring.

3. Precautions after use

After the heating season ends, the unit is allowed to be powered off only when the ambient temperature remains above 2°C. During non-use periods, it is recommended to take the following protective measures, such as erecting shelters or installing professional protective covers, to effectively resist wind and rain erosion and prevent damage from sharp objects, thereby extending the service life of the air source heat pump unit and maintaining its stable performance.

Through the implementation of the above measures, we aim to make the heat pump heating equipment reach its peak performance before the severe winter comes, ensuring that your family can enjoy a stable and warm heating experience, and every moment is immersed in unparalleled comfort. With Bonton's dedicated service and excellent technical support, your air-to-air heating system will undoubtedly become the most reliable warm guardian this winter, making the "warm and sunny winter" no longer a luxury, but a reality within reach, accompanying you to spend every warm and pleasant winter time leisurely.
