Heat transfer fl uid in. The plastic hose contains a heat transfer fl uid, which is a mixture of water and anti-
1
freeze. The fl uid collects the stored solar energy from the ground and with the help of the HTF pump leads it
into the heat pump and the evaporator. The temperature is then 0ºC.
In the evaporator the heat transfer fl uid meets the refrigerant. At this stage the refrigerant is in a fl uid state
2
and is at approximately -10ºC. When the refrigerant meets the zero degree heat transfer fl uid it starts to boil.
It then forms a vapour, which is led into the compressor. The temperature of the vapour is 0ºC.
I the pressure of the refrigerant increases in the compressor and the vapour temperature rises from 0ºC to
3
approximately +100ºC. The warm gas is then forced into the condenser.
In the condenser, the heat is transferred to the house's heating system (radiators and fl oor heating) and the
4
hot water system. The vapour is cooled and becomes fl uid. The pressure in the refrigerant is still high when it
is led on to the expansion valve.
The refrigerant pressure is lowered in the expansion valve. At the same time, the temperature also drops to
5
approximately -10ºC. When the refrigerant passes the evaporator it changes to vapour again.
HTF (coll) out. The heat transfer fl uid is led out from the heat pump to the rock to collect new stored solar
6
energy. The temperature of the fl uid is approximately -3ºC.
