Heating Medium Side - Nibe F1245 User Manual

Heat exchanger
Device that transfers heat energy from one medium to another without mixing
mediums.
Heat factor
Measurement of how much heat energy the heat pump gives off in relation
to the electric energy it needs to operate. Another term for this is COP.
Heating curve
The heating curve determines which heat the heat pump is to produce de-
pending on the temperature outdoors. If a high value is selected, this tells
the heat pump that it must produce a lot of heat when it is cold outdoors in
order to achieve a warm indoor temperature.
Heating medium
Hot liquid, usually normal water, which is sent from the heat pump to the
house climate system and makes the accommodation warm. The heating
medium also heats the hot water through the coil tank.

Heating medium side

Pipes to the house's climate system and condenser make up the heating
medium side.
Hot water heater
Container where domestic water is heated. Is located inside the heat pump,
but an extra hot water heater can be installed in the event of large hot water
requirements.
Level monitor
Accessory that senses the level in the level vessel and gives an alarm if it be-
comes too low.
Level vessel
Partially transparent vessel with brine with the task of equalising the pressure
in the brine system. When the temperature of the brine increases or decreases,
the pressure in the system changes and the level in the level vessel also
changes.
