SCOPE OF SUPPLY / GENERAL
General
Field of application
The heat pump is designed exclusively for the heating of
heating circuit water and domestic hot water. Considering
the application limits (see "technical data"), the heat pump
can be installed on new or existing heating systems.
Functioning of the brine / water heat pump
The heat pump converts the low temperature heat of the
earth to a higher temperature. Brine (a mixture of water
and antifreeze agent) is pumped through coils laid in the
earth and conducted to the evaporator of the heat pump.
The evaporator contains the liquid agent which boils
and vaporizes at low temperatures and low pressure.
The vaporizing heat is transferred from the brine. The
compressor sucks in the vaporized agent and compresses
it to achieve a higher pressure. The compressed gaseous
agent enters the condenser, where it condenses at high
pressure and high temperature. The condensation heat
is transferred to the heating circuit water with resultant
increase in temperature.
The energy transmitted to the heating circuit water
corresponds to the energy transmitted from the brine plus
the small amount of electric energy for the compressor.
Energy-saving use of the
heat pump heating system
By choosing a heat pump heating system, you have
acknowledged the need for environmental protection
by lower emissions and less consumption of energy. To
ensure your new heating system works as efficiently as
possible, please note the following:
The heat pump heating system must be correctly
sized and installed.
Vermeiden Sie unnötig hohe Vorlauftemperaturen.
Avoid unnecessarily high flow temperatures. The
lower the flow temperature at the heating circuit water
side is, the more efficiently the heat pump works.
The controller must be set correctly!
i
Preferably open the window totally to renew the air:
Compared to constantly pivot-hung windows opening
outward, this kind of ventilation reduces the energy
consumption and saves money!
