Functioning principle of heat
pump system
Heat pumps operate on the principle of a refrigerator:
the same technology, only with the opposite effect. The
refrigerator extracts heat from foods, which is released
into the room through ns on the back.
The heat pump extracts heat from our environment:
air, earth or ground water. The extracted heat is condi-
tioned in the unit and supplied to the heating water. Even
when it is extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws
enough heat to heat a house.
Example: drawing of a brine/water heat pump with oor
heating:
4⁄4= usable energy
ca. 3⁄4= environmental energy
ca. 1⁄4= external
electrical energy
Area of utilisation
Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits
of application and the applicable regulations, every heat
pump can be utilized in new or existing heating systems.
Overview "Technical data / scope of delivery".
Heat quantity recording
In addition to proof of the unit's efciency, heating
legislation also requires heat quantity recording (referred
to as WME in this manual). The WME is mandatory with
air/water heat pumps. With brine/ water and water/
water heat pumps, a WME is only required when the
feed temperature is ≥35°C. The WME must record the
total warm energy release (heating and hot water) in
the building. In heat pumps with heat quantity recording,
the analysis is conducted by the regulator. The regulator
displays the thermal energy that is exchanged from the
heating system in kWh.
Operation
Your decision to purchase a heat pump or a heat pump
system is a long-term contribution to protecting the
environment through low emissions and reduced primary
energy use.
You can operate and control the heat pump system
with the control element of the heating and heat pump
regulator.
NOTICE.
Make sure that the control settings are
correct.
Operating manual of the heating and heat pump
regulator.
To ensure that your heat pump or heat pump system
operates efciently and ecologically, the following are
especially important:
€ENERGY SAVING TIP
Avoid unnecessarily high ow tempera-
tures.
A lower ow temperature on the hot wa-
ter side increases the efciency of the sys-
tem.
€ENERGY SAVING TIP
When letting in fresh air, do not leave
windows open for an extended period, thus
saving energy and reducing your heating
costs.

Care of the unit
The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and household cleaning products.
Do not use cleaning or care products that contain
abrasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would
destroy the surfaces and could also damage the technical
components of the unit.
Maintenance of the unit
The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no regular
maintenance.
According to EU regulation (EC) 842/2006 of May 17,
2006, leak inspections and maintenance of a log book
are required by law for certain heat pumps!
The criteria for conducting leak inspections and main-
taining a log book are based on the hermetic impermea-
bility of the cooling circuit and the refrigerant capacity of
the heat pump! No log book is required for heat pumps
with a refrigerant capacity of < 3kg. With all other heat
pumps, the log book is included with all other delivered
materials.
Log book for heat pumps, Section "Information
on use of the log book".
The components of the heating circuit and the heat
source (valves, expansion vessels, circulating pumps, l-
ters, dirt traps) should be inspected as well as cleaned as
needed - at the very least annually - by a qualied heating
or cooling system technician.
It is a good idea to have a maintenance contract with
a specialist company. The company will conduct the
required maintenance at regular intervals.
CAUTION.
Check regularly to ensure that the
condensate can drain out of the unit
unobstructed. To this end, regularly check
the condensate pan in the unit and the
condensate drain to ensure that they are
clean / free from obstructions and clean as
needed.
Cleaning and flushing of unit Components
CAUTION!
Unit components may be cleaned
and ushed only by customer service
personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
Use only liquids recommended by the
manufacturer.
Flushing of the liqueer with chemical
cleaning agents must be followed by
neutralisation of residue and intensive
rinsing with water. Always observe the
technical data of the manufacturer of the
heat exchanger.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, you can detect the cause of
the malfunction via the diagnostic program of the heating
and heat pump regulator.
Operating manual of the heating and heat pump
regulator.
DANGER!
Service and repair work on the compo-
nents of the unit may be performed only by
customer service personnel authorised by
the manufacturer.

Pressure relief
Equip the heating circuit in accordance with local stand-
ards and directives with a safety valve and an expansion
tank.
Also install lling and emptying devices, shut-off devices
and non-return valves in the heating circuit.
Overow valve
Use an overow valve for tanks integrated in series to
ensure the minimum ow rate of the heating circuit vol-
ume ow through the heat pump. The overow valve
must be dimensioned so that the minimum ow rate of
the volume ow through the heat pump is ensured when
the heating circuit is shut off.
Buffer tank
The hydraulic connection of the heat pump requires a
buffer tank in the heating circuit. It ensures a minimum
operating time of the heat pump when the heating cir-
cuit valves are closed. The required volume of the buffer
tank is calculated based on the following formula:
VBuffer tank = minimum ow rate of heat circuit volume ow / hour
10
For the minimum ow rate of the heat cir-
cuit volume ow, see overview “Technical
data / Scope of delivery”, “Heating circuit” sec-
tion.
In mono-energetic air/water systems, integrate the
buffer tank in the heating water outow (forward ow)
before the overow valve.
Condensate disCharge
The condensation water that accumulated from the air
must be drained via the pre-mounted hose in the unit
for condensate discharge. To do so, connect the hose
for condendate discharge with a water drain.
For positioning of the connection for conden-
sate discharge, see dimensional drawings for the
respective model.

Circulating pumps
CAUTION.
Always note the model.
Do not use regulated circulating pumps.
Circulating pumps and domestic hot water
circulation pumps must be multi-stage
pumps.
Water heating
Water heating with the heat pump requires an additional
hot water circuit, parallel to the heating circuit. Make
sure that the heating water charge is not channelled
through the buffer tank of the heating circuit.
“Hydraulic connection” instructions.
Hot-water tank
If the heat pump is to be used for heating hot water, you
must integrate special hot-water tanks in the heat pump
system. The storage volume must be sufcient so that
the required hot water quantity is available even during
a power cut.
NOTICE.
The heat exchanger surface of the hot
water tank must be dimensioned so that
the heating capacity of the heat pump is
transferred with minimal spreading.
We offer a variety of hot-water tanks for you to choose
from. They are optimised for use with your heat pump.
NOTICE.
Integrate the hot-water tank in the heat
pump system according to the hydraulic
diagram for your system.
