General information
Construction Ecoheat
The picture below shows the fundamental construction of the product. The energy in the
ground is taken up by the cooling system. The compressor increases the temperature to a
usable level. Afterwards it releases the energy to the heating system and the hot water.
Fresh water connections
Here you connect the fresh
water connections of the
property. The cold water is
led down to the lower part of
the coil.
Gilled coil for hot water
The product is equipped with a well dimensioned
gilled coil in copper. The product is not supplied
with any parts which can rust and break. The
temperature can be kept low without risk of
legionella bacteria.
Bivalent mixing valve
The automatized mixing valve
ensures that an even heat
reaches the radiator system
continously. The valve has
double doors and first collects
the hot radiator water from the
water heated by the heating
pump.
Upper part
In the upper part of the coil the
water is heated to the selected
hot water temperature.
Immersion heaters
A built-in immersion heater
functions as peak heat if the
effective output is not sufficient
along with the rising of the hot
water temperature.
Lower part
In the lower part of the coil the
water is pre-heated by the heat
pump. The major part of the coil
is located in this part.
Heat medium pump
Th e he at med iu m pu mp
transports the cold water of the
boiler to the condenser where
the energy from the ground is
drawn up and directie toward
the boiler.

nect the product
according to this
construction sketch, see
instead the measure-
ments on page 30 and
the chapter ”Plumbing
system”.
Condenser
In the condenser the refrigerant
releases its energy to the water
of the boiler. The energy is used
to heat the hot water and the
house.
Insulation
The tank of the boiler is
insulated with die cast
polyurethane foam for
minimal heat losses.
Evaporator with Intercooler
In the evaporator the heat
drawn from the source (ground)
is released to the refrigerant,
wich is evaporated to later be
compressed in the compressor.
Sound insulation
The cooling module is equipped
with sound insulation since the
compressor gives out certin
sounds and vibrations.
Brine pump
The brine pump transports the
frost protected water (brine) in
the ground coil (cold side).
The cold side is a closed
Expansion valve
The cooling system has a high pressure side (after the
compressor) and a low pressure side (after the expansion
valve). The expansion valve has the function of lowering
the pressure on the refrigerant. As a consequence the
temperature lowers so that new energy can be taken
up in the evaporator. The expansion valve functions as
a changeable throttle valve depending on the current
conditions in the cooling system.
Compressor
The compressor is ”the heart” of the cooling system.
The compressor pumps around the refrigerant in an airtight
closed system. The evaporated refrigerant is compressed in
the compressor. The temperature increases in this way to a
usable level. The energy is released to the boiler water in
the condenser.
