ThereFriGeranTcircuiT-DescriPTion
The cooling system is used to optimise the heat in the
extracted air. In this way the recovered heat is transfer-
red to the water. This process is only possible by exter-
nal supply of energy into the compressor.
The refrigerant circuit is a closed system, in which the
HCFC-free refrigerant R134a functions as an energy car-
rier.
In the evaporator, heat is extracted from the air at a low
evaporating temperature and is transferred to the refri-
gerant. The vaporous refrigerant is drawn in by a com-
pressor, is compressed to a higher pressure and tempe-
rature level and is transported to the liqueer, which is
attached to the outside of the storage tank. Here the
heat absorbed in the evaporator and part of the absor-
bed compressor energy are transferred to the domestic
hot water.
The high condensing pressure is then relaxed by means
of an expansion device (expansion valve) to the evapora-
tion pressure, and the refrigerant in the evaporator can
then once again absorb heat from the exhaust air

ThewaTercircuiT-DescriPTion
The water circuit is set up in compliance with the rele-
vant standards and requirements.
Only water of drinking quality (according to the drinking
water regulations) may be used. Ensure material compa-
tibility in the whole water circuit. A suitable pressure re-
ducer must be used if the water pressures are too high.

The nominal diameters of the pipes for on site installa-
tion are to be dened on site, taking into account the
available water pressure and the expected pressure los-
ses in the pipe system. The water side installation must
be according to DIN 1988. The water pipes can be xed
or exible pipes.
Attention must be paid to the corrosivity of the mate-
rials used in the pipe system to avoid damage. This re-
quires particular attention if zinc coated components
containing copper are used.
As with all pressure vessels, the domestic hot water tank
of the water pump must be equipped with a type-tested
safety valve and a non-return valve (on site).
The cold water pipe inlet is at the rear, near the oor
(3/4” RG). The maximum operating pressure is 10 bar;
the maximum operating temperature is 65° C. If neces-
sary, a drinking water lter and a pressure reducing valve
should be installed in the supply pipe.
We recommend checking the water connection sockets
for dirt.
Avoid getting dirt in the pipe system when laying the pi-
ping on site (if necessary, ush the pipes before connec-
ting the heat pump)!
If a circulation pipe is not connected to the heat pump
the connection must be appropriately sealed!
DeFrosTinG(bwP307+sonly)
If the temperature difference between the cooling
surface temperature upstream of the cooling surface
and the cooling surface temperature becomes too large,
which happens if ice has formed on the cooling surface,
the system begins to defrost (see diagram). Solenoid
valve MA 4 opens, the exhaust air fans switch off until
the ice has melted and the cooling surface has reached
a temperature of approx. 5°C (depends on the setting),
after which the solenoid valve closes again and the
exhaust air fan restarts.

Incidentally:
Your decision to purchase a domestic hot water heat
pump is a long-term contribution to protecting the
environment through low emissions and reduced primary
energy use.
€ENERGY SAVING TIP
Do not set the domestic hot water temperature
higher than necessary. The unit operates
most efciently at low domestic hot water
temperatures (≈ 45°C).
Switch on the electric heating element only if it is
actually needed. Switching on the electric heating
element increases the power consumption of
the unit.
