Greensource heat pump and HWDU
Principle method of operation
The principle method of operation is based on the vapour compression cycle with any additional heat being provided by
the built in electric heater. The control unit controls the heat pump using the outdoor sensor T2 and the fl ow sensor T1
according to the set heat curve. If the heat pump is unable to meet the heating requirements, the HWDU and the additional
electric heater starts automatically and together with the heat pump provides the required temperature. Hot water is priori-
tised and controlled by a sensor, T3 in the hot water cylinder. While the DHW is being heated in the hot water cylinder, the
CH production by the heat pump is stopped temporarily through a three-way valve. When the DHW temperature is satisfi ed
the heat pump continues the CH production.
Operation in extreme cold conditions:
At outdoor temperatures lower than approximately -20, the compressor in the heat pump is switched off and all heating and
hot water heating is via the built in electric heater.

* The drawing above shows the correct connection method for the heat pump where the fl ow rate around the heating system can fall below 70% of the
nominal fl ow (i.e. system with zone controls and thermostatic radiator valves). If the heating system has been designed to be fully open at all times then the use
of the primary water storage tank is not required
