    5 Operation 5.1 Heat pump operation The system’s connection diagrams are provided as a separate document. The heat pump collects heat from the fluid in the brine circuit and releases the heat collected through a condenser and into heating water. In addition to the heat pump itself, CUBE heat pump units include an in-line heater for supplementary and backup heating.

Whenever the building’s domestic hot water needs heating, space heating will be suspended until domestic hot water has been heated to a sufficient temperature. Domestic hot water tank heating will start when the DHW tank temperature (minus the switching difference) falls below the domestic hot water target temperature.
