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
conditioned 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 utilization
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.

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.
NOTICE.
Make sure that the control settings are correct.
Operating manual 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:
€
ENERGY SAVING TIP
Avoid unnecessarily high flow temperatures.
A lower flow temperature on the hot water side
increases the efficiency of the system.
€
ENERGY SAVING TIP
When letting in fresh air, do not leave windows
open for an extended period, thus saving energy
and reducing your heating costs.
Care of the unit
The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and household cleaning products.
Do not use cleaning or care products that contain
abrasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would
destroy the surfaces and could also damage the technical
components of the unit.
