Additional heat:
The additional heat is the heat produced in addition to the heat supplied by
the compressor in your heat pump. Additional heaters can be for example,
immersion heater, electric heater, gas/oil/pellet/wood burner or district heating.
Brine
Anti-freeze liquid, e.g. ethanol or glycol mixed with water, which transports
heat energy from the heat source (rock/ground/lake) to the heat pump.
Brine side
Brine hoses, any bore holes and the evaporator make up the brine side.
Calculated flow line temperature
The temperature that the heat pump calculates that the heating system re-
quires for an optimum accommodation temperature. The colder the outdoor
temperature, the higher the calculated supply temperature.
Charge coil
A charge coil heats the domestic hot water (tap water) in the heater with
heating water.
Circulation pump
Pump that circulates liquid in a pipe system.
Climate system
The climate system can also be called the heating and/or cooling system. The
building is cooled or heated using radiators, under floor coils or convector
fans.
Coil tank
A heater with a coil in it. The water in the coil heats the water in the heater.
Collector
