Functioning principle of heat
pump system
Heat pumps operate on the principle of a refrigerator:
the same technology, only with the opposite effect. The
refrigerator extracts heat from foods, which is released
into the room through fins on the back.
The heat pump extracts heat from our environment:
air, earth or ground water. The extracted heat is condi-
tioned in the unit and supplied to the heating water. even
when it is extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws
enough heat to heat a house.

area of utilisation
Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits
of application and the applicable regulations, every heat
pump can be utilized in new or existing heating systems.

Heat quantity recording
In addition to proof of the unit's efficiency, heating
legislation also requires heat quantity recording (referred
to as Wme in this manual). The Wme is mandatory with
air/water heat pumps. With brine/ water and water/
water heat pumps, a Wme is only required when the
feed temperature is ≥ 35 °c. The Wme must record the
total warm energy release (heating and hot water) in
the building. In heat pumps with heat quantity recording,
the analysis is conducted by the regulator. The regulator
displays the thermal energy that is exchanged from the
heating system in kWh.
Operation
your decision to purchase a heat pump or a heat pump
system is a long-term contribution to protecting the
environment through low emissions and reduced primary
energy use.
you can operate and control the heat pump system
with the control element of the heating and heat pump
regulator.

To ensure that your heat pump or heat pump system
operates efficiently and ecologically, the following are
especially important:

avoid unnecessarily high flow tempera-

When letting in fresh air, do not leave
windows open for an extended period, thus
saving energy and reducing your heating
costs.
