What is ATW heat pump?1
1-1. Compare with conventional fossil fuel boiler
• Heat pumps produce water at 30°C – 60°C
• Ideal for underfloor heating
• Average underfloor heating circuit 35°C
• Fossil fuel boilers heat water to 80°C
• Flow temp in rads design temp. approx. 70°C
• Heat pumps can still be used with radiators
• Larger surface area to emit heat from lower temp water
1-2. Points to notice
1-2-1. Design (Radiator sizing)
• Careful consideration must be given to appropriate application of this technology to maximise its benefits – it will not suit all
properties, especially many retrofits
• Heat emitters may need to be larger
• Lower flow temperatures maximise COP
• Various regulations apply to the design and installation of such systems
• Because the flow temp. of heat pump is low compare to fossil fuel boiler, the temperature difference between the primary (flow
water) and secondary (room air) becomes little, it makes the heat emission little.
To emit the same amount of heat energy, it is needed to select the radiator that has a larger surface area.
Be especially careful of the surface area when you design the radiator.
1-2-2. Defrost
Note: Occasionally, vapor that is made by the defrost operation may seem as if smoke come up from the outdoor unit.
1-2-3. Water Pressure loss (for packaged type outdoor unit)
• Water pressure lose of the heat exchangers are as follows.
Be aware of the influence when you design total piping system.

MANUAL STEP MODE is New function of INTER FACE (Fixed capacity = Compressor frequency (Hz) fixed mode) .
2 Phase (Gas/Liquid) pipe thermistor is required (TH5).
Also, Interface P.C.B. SW2-6 need to be set "OFF (No LEV self control mode)" .
<Old models : The models that are not described in the table above.>
*1: With(Auto-mode)+(SW2-6 is OFF)+(2phase thermistor), all A-control outdoor units are able to connect to PAC-IF010/
011B-E only for Air to Air use.
*2: With(Manual-mode)+(SW2-6 is OFF)+(2phase thermistor), from following RP type outdoor units are able to connect to
PAC-IF010/011B-E only for Air to Air use.
