3.2. Capacity shortage - Space heating
Water circuit (partially)
blocked.
Dirty water.
Check water circuit (unit +
field) for blockages.
Remove possible blockages
and check the water quality.
Root cause category: component - mechanical
Refrigerant shortage.
•
Refrigerant leakage.
• Incorrectly
charged.
•
Check refrigerant charge
•
Pressure test the system to
check for leakage.
If required, repair the leak and
charge the correct refrigerant
amount.
Air Purge blocked - air trapped
in water system.
Component failure.
Check air purge valve.
Replace air purge valve.
Root cause category: component - electrical
Pressure sensor (S1NPH) -
higher pressure measured
than actual.
Deviation of pressure sensor
(higher value measured than
actual).
Check pressure sensor (see
page 94).
Replace pressure sensor (see
page 130).
Discharge thermistor - higher
temperature measured than
actual.
Deviation of thermistor (higher
temperature measured than
actual).
Check discharge thermistor
(see page 88).
Replace discharge thermistor
(see page 124) or replace
PCB.
Expansion valve incorrect con-
trol - superheat too high.
•
Faulty suction thermistor.
•
Faulty expansion valve
control.
• Check
suction
thermistor
(see page 88).
•
Check the expansion valve
(see page 97).
Replace suction thermistor
(see page 124) or replace
expansion valve (see
page 131).
Backup heater 3/6 kW not
working.
Component failure.
Check backup heater (see
page 65).
Replace backup heater.
Deviation of backup heater
outlet thermistor will influence
the backup heater control.
• Deviation
of
thermistor
(higher temperature
measured than actual).
• Bad
contact
between
sensor and pipe.
Check backup heater outlet
thermistor (see page 70).
Replace backup heater outlet
thermistor or PCB A1P.
Flow sensor deviation - flow
measured higher than actual.
Component failure.
Check the flow sensor (see
page 81).
Replace the flow sensor.
3-way valve blocked.
Component failure.
Check the 3-way valve (see
page 84).
Replace the 3-way valve.

for an overview of the general causes (both for space heating and
domestic hot water) which can lead to capacity shortage.
Possible failures
Root cause
Check
Corrective action
Root cause category: end user
Too low leaving water temper-
ature setpoint.
User set too low leaving water
temperature setpoint by
schedule or manual operation.
Check leaving water setpoint.
Adapt leaving water setpoint.
(Remark: check the weather
dependent settings (relation
outdoor temperature - set-
point) in case weather
dependent control is acti-
vated.)
Too low space heating setpoint
on room thermostat.
User set too low room setpoint
by schedule or manual opera-
tion.
Check room thermostat set-
point.
Adapt room thermostat set-
point.
(Remark: check the weather
dependent settings (relation
outdoor temperature - set-
point) in case weather
dependent control is acti-
vated.)
Space heating not activated.
Check if space heating is acti-
vated.
