About bivalent
The purpose of this function is to determine which heating source can/will provide
the space heating, either the heat pump system or the auxiliary boiler.
# Code
[9.C.1] [C-02]
▪ If Bivalent is enabled: When the outdoor temperature drops below the
bivalent ON temperature (fixed or variable based on energy prices), the space
heating by the heat pump stops automatically and the permission signal for the
auxiliary boiler is active.
▪ If Bivalent is disabled: Space heating is only done by the heat pump within the
operation range. The permission signal for the auxiliary boiler is always inactive.
The switch-over between the heat pump system and the auxiliary boiler is based
on the following settings:
▪ [C‑03] and [C‑04]
▪ Electricity and gas prices ([7.5.1], [7.5.2], [7.5.3], and [7.6])
[C‑03], [C‑04], and T
calc
Based on the settings above, the heat pump system calculates a value T
variable between [C‑03] and [C‑03]+[C‑04].
