Heat pump system
Heat source
Smooth and efficient operation of the heat pump system requires careful design and
consideration of all aspects of the system from the heat source up to the heat utilisation.
Air as a heat source is available everywhere and can be utilised without
limit by means of an air-heat exchanger in combination with fans at very
low expense. However, the outside temperature fluctuates significantly in
the course of the year and is inversely proportional to the heat requirement.
This means that the most heat must be generated when the heat source
is at its coldest state. This must be accounted for during the planning
phase so that the required internal temperatures are always achieved.
Likewise the noise of the fans and air flow must be considered by ensur-
ing minimum distances from neighbouring plots as well as by selecting a
suitable installation location.
