2 About your heat pump
2.1 Product description
The heat pump is a heating system for heating and hot water if an external
water heater is installed (accessory). It has a compressor developed solely
for heat pumps.
The heat pump is equipped with control equipment which is presented
in a graphical display. The control equipment is also prepared for moni-
toring via the internet.
Heat enters the house via a water borne heating system. The heat pump
supplies as much of the heat demand as possible before auxiliary heating
is engaged and assists. Additional heater is an accessory.
The heat pump heating system consists of two basic units:
•
Heat pump unit
•
Control equipment
The heat pump unit consists of the following components:
•
Scroll compressor
•
Stainless steel heat exchanger: condenser, evaporator and de-super-
heater
•
Circulation pumps for collector- and heating system
The control equipment controls the components included in the heating
installation (compressor, circulation pumps and exchange valve) and
determines when to start and stop the pump as well as producing heat
for the house or hot water. If the additional heat (accessory) is installed
the additional heating is controlled by the control equipment. The control
equipment unit consists of the following components:
•
Control computer, as well as operator’s panel with graphical display
•
Temperature sensors (outdoor, supply line, return line and hot water)
•
Room sensor (option)
2.2 The principles of the heat pump
A heat pump utilises the energy found in a natural heat source. Simply
put, it obtains energy in the form of heat from a heat source.
