temporary-heat-pump-stop-e21-rhp on an IVT Greenline HE: Activated when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit becomes too high. If the information appears several times during a certain time period, the information transforms into a category A alarm (Æ Chapter 11.7.3)

Short answer

On an IVT heat pump, temporary-heat-pump-stop-e21-rhp means: Activated when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit becomes too high. If the information appears several times during a certain time period, the information transforms into a category A alarm (Æ Chapter 11.7.3). The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

Part involved: E21.RHP.

When it shows: Activated when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit becomes too high. If the information appears several times during a certain time period, the information transforms into a category A alarm (Æ Chapter 11.7.3).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Partly
SeverityWarning
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.

What you can check

  • Note the full alarm text including the component designation (e.g. E21.T6) - IVT asks for it when you contact the dealer.

What the engineer will check

  • Check refrigerant circuit pressures, superheat and charge; check brine/heating flows, particle filters and pressure switch.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
