- the outer casing 11 and the heat pump module 19 may be separately carried to the installation site.
- the parts to be carried to the installation site are easier to carry (less heavy) than the complete heat source unit 10.
- the drawer plate 37 With all the components mounted thereon and as described above, is placed on a forward end of the support surfaces 61 of the drawer support plate 53. Subsequently, the drawer plate 37 is slid along the support surfaces 61 towards the back wall 13 whereby it is guided by the flanges 57a,b on the left and right side of the drawer support plate 53.
- the flange 57c on the backside indicates to the installer that the drawer plate 37 has been fully inserted in that it abuts on the flange 57c and cannot be moved further towards the back wall 13.
- one single screw is screwed into a fixing hole 70 adjacent the front edge 39a of the drawer plate 37 (see figure 3 ). Consequently it is very easy to fix and also loosen the drawer plate.
- a front plate 68 is attached with front end portions of the heat source pipes 30, 31 and the liquid pipes 33, 34 protruding from the front plate 68.
- the heat source pipes 63, 64 and the liquid pipes 65, 66 may be connected to the heat source pipes 30, 31 of the liquid pipes 30, 34, respectively, by the use of the quick-release-fasteners 37.
- No tools are required to connect the pipes.
- the pipes 63 to 66 may be slid onto the front ends of the pipes 30, 31, 33 and 34, wherein for example a spring biased catching member on the pipes 63 to 66 catches into an annular ring on the front ends of the pipes 30, 31, 33 and 34.
- electrical cables may be connected and the front wall 12 be installed.
- the drawer plate 37 including all the components mounted thereon may be drawn out of the outer casing 11 and maintenance on the components be performed. If required, the drawer plate 37 may even be completely removed from the outer casing 11 for maintenance.
- the present description of an embodiment is not considered to be limiting. Rather several modifications may be realized by the skilled person.
- the heat source unit may also be part of an air conditioning or of the system providing heating and cooling.
- the refrigerant circuit may comprise less components or other components than those described above.
- the refrigerant circuit merely comprises the heat source heat exchanger, the compressor, the heat consumer heat exchanger and the expansion valve.
- only one of the heat exchangers may be disposed on the drawer plate, particularly when the heat source unit is considered as an outdoor unit of an air conditioner.
