For Drainage - Bosch Compress 7000i AW Installation Manual

Preparing for installation
▶ With a freestanding installation (not near the building):
– Do not install the heat pump so the intake side faces directly south
to avoid the effects of the sun on the air temperature sensor.
– Use a wall wall or similar object to protect the intake side.

▶ Whenever possible, set up the heat pump so that the front is not
directly facing the wind.
▶ Position the outdoor unit of the heat pump so that no snow or water
from the roof drips or slides onto it. If this cannot be avoided, a
protective roof must be installed.
If a protective roof is installed above the heat pump, bear in mind that it
must be possible to lift the thermal insulation material of the heat pump
up and off.
▶ With the models 5 OR-S–9 OR-S, make sure there is a clearance of at
least 500 mm between the roof and heat pump.
▶ With the models 13 OR-S/T–17 OR-T, make sure there is a clearance
of at least 600 mm between the roof and heat pump.
▶ If the roof can be removed, the minimum clearance above the heat
pump for all models is 400 mm.
▶ Bear in mind that ice may form on the ground in front of the heat
pump if it is equipped with a noise-attenuating device (accessory).

Remove condensate via a frost-free drain of the heat pump, possibly
equipped with pipe trace heating. The drain must slope sufficiently to
prevent water from accumulating in the pipe.
The condensate can be routed to either a gravel bed, a stone box or into
a rainwater gully.
