Table 5.2 also gives a summary on avoiding faults, if these conditions are not adhered to.
5.3.1
Permissible temperatures
Flow temperature
The heat pump should be operated with a maximum flow temperature of 58° C. If a flow temperature of more
than 58° C is selected, the heat pump works inefficiently. The compressor is also very greatly overloaded
and the equipment will keep malfunctioning.
In general, the flow temperature should actually be adapted to the actual operating temperatures and be set
as low as possible.
Brine temperature
The brine temperature should not be lesser than -6°C. If the temperature is lesser, the device works
inefficient and there is danger of freezing of the device.
5.3.2
Flow rate
No flow rate for heating equipment
If there is no flow rate in the heating equipment, the system will be extremely overloaded until release of the
safety device, in this case the high pressure switch. The water flow rate and system pressure should
therefore be checked.
No flow rate in the brine system
If there is no brine side flow rate, again the system will be extremely overloaded until release of the low
pressure switch. A freezing of the system and the heat exchanger inside the device may also occur until the
heat exchanger bursts and then there is a leak of refrigerant. In the worst case, the device is damaged and
will have to be replaced. The solution here again, is to check the water flow rate and the system pressure as
well as checking the frost safety (at least -15° C).
No ground water flow rate (only at W/W-devices)
Analogous to the missing flow rate in the brine system the device will be extremely overloaded until release
of the low pressure switch. Moreover, a freezing of the system and the external heat exchanger is possible
again. A compensation takes place by a control of the water flow, of the system pressure and the
groundwater conveyor system, a cleaning of the filters and an annual maintenance of the under water pump.
