Operating principle of heat
pumps
Heat pumps operate on the principle of a refrigerator:
the same technology, only with the opposite eect. 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 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 he-
at pump can be utilized in new or existing heating sys-
tems.
Overview “Technical data/scope of delivery”.
Heat quantity recording
In addition to the proof of the unit’s eciency,
EEWaermeGalso meets the demand for a heat quantity
recording (hereafter refered to as HQR). The HQR is
mandatory with air/water heat pumps. With brine/
water and water/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 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 en-
vironment through low emissions and reduced primary
energy use.
You can operate and control the heat pump system wi-
th the control element of the heating and heat pump re-
gulator.
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 e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 eciency of the system.
€ENERGY SAVING TIP
When letting in fresh air, do not leave windows
open for an extended period, thus saving en-
ergy 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 ab-
rasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would de-
stroy 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 regu-
lar maintenance.
According to EU regulation (EC) 517/2014, leak
inspections and maintenance of a log book are required
by law for certain heat pumps!
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.
The intake and blow-out openings must be inspected
for dirt at regular intervals (depending on the installati-
on location) and cleaned, if necessary.
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.
Icing of the protective grating
When temperatures fall below freezing and high levels
of humidity are present, ice can form on the protective
grating of the air ow baes. In order to ensure pro-
blem-free operations, the ice must be removed on a re-
gular basis.
It is a good idea to have a maintenance contract with
a heating installation company. The company will con-
duct 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 autho-
rized by the manufacturer. Use only liquids
recommended by the manufacturer.
Rinsing of the liqueer with chemical clea-
ning agents must be followed by neutraliza-
tion of residue and intensive rinsing with wa-
ter. 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 he-
ating and heat pump regulator.
Operating manual of the heating and heat
pump regulator.
WARNING
Service and repair work on the components
of the unit may be performed only by custo-
mer service personnel authorized by the ma-
nufacturer.
Note that no malfunction is displayed if the safety tem-
perature limiter on the electric heating element has be-
en triggered (depending on unit model).

INSTALLATION
Place the unit on a solid, level foundation that is capable
of bearing weight. Make sure that the foundation is de-
signed for the weight of the heat pump. Materials that
meet this requirement can be used for the foundation
(concrete, stone slabs, etc.). The ground surface in the
air outlet area of the heat pump must be permeable to
water.
CAUTION
In the air outlet area the air temperature is
ca. 5 K below the ambient temperature. Un-
der certain climatic conditions, therefore,
an ice layer can form in the air outlet area.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
The condensate from the air must be discharged frost-
free via a condensate pipe with a minimum diameter of
50 mm. For underlying surfaces that are permeable to
water, it is sucient to insert the condensate pipe ver-
tically at least 90 cm into the ground. If the condensate
is discharged into drainage or sewage systems, install
frost-free with gradient.
Discharge of the condensate into the sewage system is
permitted only via a funnel siphon, which must be ac-
cessible at all times.
Pressure relief
Equip the heating circuit in accordance with local stan-
dards and directives with a safety valve and an expansi-
on tank.
Also install lling and emptying devices, shut-o de-
vices 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 vo-
lume ow through the heat pump. The overow val-
ve must be dimensioned so that the minimum ow ra-
te of the volume ow through the heat pump is ensured
when the heating circuit is shut o.
“Set the overow valve” , page 25
Buer tank
The hydraulic connection of the heat pump requires a
buer tank in the heating circuit. The required volume
of the buer tank is calculated based on the following
formula:
Vbuer tank =Minimum ow rate of heat circuit volume ow / hour
10
For the minimum ow rate of the heat circuit vo-
lume ow, see overview “Technical data/Scope
of delivery”, “Heating circuit” section.
In mono-energetic air/water systems, integrate the buf-
fer tank in the heating water outow (forward ow) be-
fore the overow valve.
Circulating pumps
CAUTION
Always note the model.
Do not use regulated circulating pumps.
Circulating pumps and domestic hot wa-
ter circulation pumps must be multi-stage
pumps.
Water heating
Water heating with the heat pump requires an additio-
nal hot water circuit, parallel to the heating circuit. Ma-
ke sure that the heating water charge is not channeled
through the buer tank of the heating circuit.
