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
conditioned 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 utilization
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 the proof of the unit's efciency, EEWaer-
meGalso meets the demand for a heat quantity record-
ing (hereafter refered to as HQR). The HQR is mandato-
ry with air/water heat pumps. With brine/ water and wa-
ter/water heat pumps, a HQR may only be set up when
a forward ow temperature of ≥ 35 °C has been reached.
The HQR 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 en-
ergy that is exchanged from the heating system in kWh.
NOTICE.
Variant models are available, either with or with-
out heat quantity recording.
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 temperatures.
A lower ow temperature on the hot water side
increases the efciency of the system.
€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
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
maintaining a log book are based on the hermetic
impermeability 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,
lters, 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.
ATTENTION
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.
It is a good idea to have a maintenance contract with
a specialist company. The company will conduct the
required maintenance at regular intervals.
Cleaning and rinsing of unit Components
CAUTION!
Unit components may be cleaned and
rinsed only by customer service personnel
authorized by the manufacturer. Use
only liquids recommended by the
manufacturer.
Rinsing of the liqueer with chemical
cleaning agents must be followed by
neutralization 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 for the heating and heat pump
regulator.
CAUTION!
Service and repair work on the components
of the unit may be performed only by
customer service personnel authorized by
the manufacturer.
