1 Introduction
1.1 EasyAce heat pumps
EasyAce heat pumps feature wireless connectivity, allowing you to manage and
monitor your heat pump both locally and remotely. In addition to the wireless touch
screen provided with the heat pump, you can connect to the EasyAce system by
downloading the simple-to use EasyAce app to your mobile device.
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for how to use your heat pump. This
includes instructions on how to connect your heat pump to a mobile device.
Using the touch screen for any other purpose may cause slowdowns or
interference in the use of the unit’s automation system, or prevent the
system from being used altogether.

1.3 Basic concepts
Buffer tank
Heating circuit’s storage tank.
Brine
Liquid that circulates in the brine circuit (evaporator circuit), usually a mixture
of water and ethanol.
Brine circuit
The brine circuit is a long loop of pipe embedded in the earth filled with brine,
a cold mixture of ethanol and water. The brine circuit extracts heat from the
ground.
Brine pump
The brine pump circulates brine inside and between the brine circuit and the
heat pump.
Coefficient of
Performance, COP
Ratio between the electricity used by the heat pump and the heating
provided. If a heat pump’s COP is 3.5, it will generate 3.5 watts of heating for
every watt of electricity.
Condenser pump
Pump that circulates heat-transfer fluid (heating water) to the condenser to
warm up and from the condenser to the heating circulation.
Degree minutes
The heat pump has a degree minute counter that determines when functions
are activated and how long they remain active. The more a measured value
differs from a setpoint, the faster the related function will be activated.
● Example: The start delay for the in-line heater is 90 °Cmin. Flow
setpoint is 60 °C, and measured flow temperature is 45 °C. This gives a
temperature difference of 15 °C. Each minute, 15 °Cmin is deducted from
the counter. The in-line heater will switch on in 6 minutes.
