If you own a Rotex heat pump, you are one of the fortunate owners of one of the most reliable and innovative heating devices on the market. In 2020, ROTEX Heating Systems GmbH was acquired by Daikin, becoming DAIKIN Manufacturing Germany GmbH. However, there are still many Rotex-branded heat pumps in operation, and it's crucial to ensure they are adequately protected for optimal performance and longevity.
Why a Cover Is Important?
Your Rotex heat pump is a precision machine that plays a crucial role in heating your home. Protecting it from the elements is essential to ensure it operates efficiently and reliably. A suitable cover can shield the outdoor unit from rain, snow, wind, and direct sunlight, helping to preserve its lifespan.
Choose the Right Cover
Choosing the right cover for your Rotex heat pump is essential. Here's a guide to help you make the right decision:
Models from 6, 7, and 8kW (HPSU Compact and Bi-Bloc)
If you have a Rotex heat pump with a capacity of 6, 7, or 8 kW, such as the HPSU Compact and Bi-Bloc models with a single exhaust fan, then you're in luck. These models are compatible with several cover options:
- Cover Clima Blade (Size M)
- Cover Clima Curve (Size M)
- Cover Clima Bird (Size M)
- Cover Clima Provence (Size M)
These covers are designed to fit perfectly over these units and provide complete protection against the elements.
Models from 11 to 16kW (HPSU Compact and Bi-Bloc)
If you have a Rotex heat pump with a capacity of 11 to 16 kW, whether in 220V or 400V versions, which are characterized by having a double overlapping exhaust fan, you will need to purchase two of the same type of cover from the following:
- Cover Clima Blade (Size M)
- Cover Clima Curve (Size M)
- Cover Clima Bird (Size M)
- Cover Clima Provence (Size M)
Additionally, you will need a Double-Height Kit to join the two covers to protect the outdoor unit's entire height adequately.
Ground Installation
If your unit is installed on the ground, we recommend using one or two sets of Adjustable Feet. These accessories elevate the cover from the ground, ensuring better airflow and protecting your heat pump from moisture and debris.
Please note that this guide is indicative, as the installation may involve brackets, pipes, or other structures that affect the actual dimensions of the unit. To be sure of the correct size, consult our "Size Guide" page, and if necessary, contact our customer service for personalized assistance.
Choosing the right cover for your Rotex heat pump is a crucial step in ensuring its proper operation and longevity. With adequate protection, you can enjoy efficient and reliable heating for many years to come.
