How heat pumps work
Heat pumps operate on the same principle as a refrigerator:
the same technology, only with reversed benets. The
refrigerator extracts heat from food, It discharges this heat
into the room through ns at its rear.
The heat pump extracts heat from our environment: from
the air, earth or water. The extracted heat is conditioned in
the unit and passed on to the heating water. Even when it is
extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws enough heat
to heat a house.
Example: sketch of a brine/water heat pump with underoor
heating:

/4 = useful energy
approx.

/4 = environmental energy
approx.

⁄4 = external
electrical energy
Area of use
Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits of
use and the relevant regulations, any heat pump can be used
in new or existing heating systems.
“Technical data /scope of supply” overview.
Heat metering
In addition to proof of the unit's efciency, the EEWaermeG
(German law promoting renewable energy for heating) also
requires heat metering (hereinafter referred to as WME).
Heat metering is mandatory for air/water heat pumps. Heat
metering for brine/water and water/water heat pumps only
has to be installed for a ow temperature ≥35 °C. The heat
metering must record the total thermal energy output
(heating and hot water) to the building. In heat pumps with
heat metering, the evaluation is carried out by the controller.
The controller displays the thermal energy output into 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 use the control element of the heating and heat pump
controller to operate and control the heat pump system.
NOTE.
Make sure that the controller settings are correct.
Operating manual of the heating and heat pump
controller.
To ensure that your heat pump or heat pump system oper-
ates efciently and ecologically, please pay particular atten-
tion to the following:
€
ENERGY SAVING TIP
Avoid unnecessarily high ow temperatures.
The lower the ow temperature on the heating
water side the more efcient the system.
€
ENERGY SAVING TIP
Preferably use purge ventilation. Compared to con-
tinuously open windows, it is better to air rooms
by fully opening windows for a short period, two
to three times a day (so-called “purge” ventilation);
this reduces energy consumption and your heating
bill.

Care of the unit
You can use a damp cloth and standard cleaning products to
clean the outer surfaces of the unit.
Do not use cleaning or care products that contain abrasives,
acids and/or chlorine. Such products would irreparably
damage the surfaces and could also cause technical damage
to the unit.
Maintenance of the unit
The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no regular
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, circulation pumps, lters, dirt
traps) should be checked and cleaned as necessary, but at
least annually, by qualied personnel (heating or cooling
system tters).
The intake and discharge openings must be checked for dirt
at regular intervals (depends on where the unit is installed)
and cleaned if necessary.
ATTENTION
Check regularly to ensure that the condensate can
drain out of the unit freely, without obstruction. To
this end, check the condensate pan in the unit and
the condensate drain regularly for dirt / blockages
and clean as necessary.
Icing of the protective grating
If temperatures fall below freezing and high levels of
humidity are present, ice can form on the protective grating
of the air deector hoods. In order to ensure fault-free
operation, the ice must be removed regularly!
It is best to sign a maintenance agreement with a heating
installation company. It will arrange for the necessary
maintenance work at regular intervals.
CLEANING AND FLUSHING UNIT COMPONENTS
CAUTION!
Unit components may be cleaned and
ushed only by customer service personnel
authorised by the manufacturer. Only use
liquids recommended by the manufacturer.
After ushing the condenser with chemical
cleaning agent, any residues must be neu-
tralised and the system ushed intensively
with water. Always note and follow the tech-
nical data of the respective heat exchanger
manufacturer.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault, you can read out the cause of the
fault from the diagnostic program of the heating and heat
pump controller.
Operating manual of the heating and heat pump
controller.
WARNING!
Only customer service personnel authorised
by the manufacturer may carry out service
and repair work on the components of the
unit.
Note that no fault is displayed if the safety temperature
limiter on the electric heating element has triggered
(depending on model).

INSTALLATION / CONNECTION TO THE HEATING CIRCUIT
ATTENTION
Integrate the unit in the heating circuit as shown in
the hydraulic diagram for the respective unit model.
It is not possible to connect several heat pumps in
parallel.
“Hydraulic integration” documents.
Check to make sure that the cross-sections (diameters) and
lengths of the pipes for the heating circuit (including the
pipes laid in the ground between the heat pump and the
building!) are adequately dimensioned.
The hydraulic system must be equipped with a buffer tank,
the required volume of which depends on your unit model.
see “Buffer tank” page 16 .
ATTENTION
When installing the connections, always protect the
connections on the unit from twisting, in order to
prevent damage to the copper pipes inside the unit.
Flush the heating circuit thoroughly before connecting
the unit to the heating circuit…
Dirt and deposits in the heating circuit can cause malfunc-
tions.
Install shut-off devices for the heating water outlet
(ow) and heating water inlet (return) on the heat
pump side…
By installing the shut-off devices, the evaporator and
condenser of the heat pump can be ushed, if neces-
sary.
Connect the unit to the xed piping of the heating
circuit via vibration isolators. You must install them to
prevent the transfer of structurally borne sound to the
xed piping.
NOTE.
Vibration isolators are available as accessories.

Pressure safety
Equip the heating circuit with a safety valve and expansion
vessel in accordance with local standards and guidelines.
Also install lling and draining emptying devices, shut-off
devices and non-return valves in the heating circuit.
Circulation pump
The pump cable may not be lengthened. Therefore the
distance must be chosen so that the cable is long enough.
However, it is possible to shorten the cable.
max. approx. 2.4m cable length
Only 1 PWM signal is available for the circulation pump,
therefore the hot water must be supplied with a changeover
valve via the BUP outlet.

CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate precipitated from the air must be removed
frost-free via a condensate pipe with minimum 50 mm
diameter. If surfaces are water permeable, it is sufciency
for the condensate water pipe to be laid vertically in the
ground to a depth of at least 90 cm. If the condensate is
discharged into drains or sewers, ensure frost-free laying
with a gradient.
Discharge of the condensate into the sewers is permitted
only via a trap with funnel inlet, which must be accessible at
all times.

Buffer tank
The hydraulic integration of the heat pump requires a buffer
tank in the heating circuit. The required volume of the buffer
tank is calculated using the following formula:
V
Buffer tank
=
minimum throughput heating circuit ow rate / hour
10
For the minimum throughput of the heating circuit
ow rate, see “Technical data/Scope of supply”
overview, “Heating circuit” section.
In mono-energetic air/water systems, integrate the buffer
tank in the heating water outlet (ow) upstream of the
overow valve.
Water heating
Water heating with the heat pump requires another heating
water circuit in addition (parallel) to the heating circuit.
When integrating, make sure that the hot water supply is
not fed through the buffer tank of the heating circuit.
“Hydraulic integration” documents.
Hot water tank
If the heat pump is to be used to heat water, you must
integrate special hot water tanks in the heat pump system.
Choose the storage volume so that the required quantity of
hot water is available even during a power cut.
The heat exchanger surface of the hot water tank must be
dimensioned so that the heating capacity of the heat pump
is transferred with minimum temperature drop. We offer a
variety of hot water tanks for you to choose from. They are
optimally matched to your heat pump.
Integrate the hot water tank in the heat pump system as
shown in the hydraulic diagram for your system.

DAMAGE THAT CAN OCCUR IN CASE OF FAILURE TO
COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE
- Malfunctions and the failure of components (e.g. pumps,
valves)
- Internal and external leaks (e.g. from heat exchangers)
- Cross-section reduction and blockaging of components
(e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps)
- Material fatigue
- Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation (cavitation)
- Negative effect on heat transfer (formation of coatings,
deposits) and associated noises (e.g. boiling noises, ow
noises)
LIMESCALE – THE ENERGY KILLER
Filling with untreated drinking water inevitably leads to
the precipitation of all calcium as scale. The consequence:
limescale deposits form on the heat transfer surfaces of
the heating. Efciency falls and energy costs rise. A rule of
thumb is that 1 millimetre of limescale deposit causes an
efciency loss of 10 %. In extreme cases it can even cause
damage to the heat exchangers.
WATER SOFTENING TO VDI 2035 – PART I
If the water is softened in accordance with the VDI 2035
guidelines before it is used to ll the heating system, no scale
can form. This prevents limescale deposits and the resulting
negative effects on the entire heating system, effectively and
permanently.
CORROSION – AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM
VDI 2035, Part II, deals with the problem of corrosion.
Softening the heating water can prove to be insufcient.
The pH value can signicantly exceed the limit of 10. pH
values higher than 11 can set in, which even damage rubber
seals. VDI 2035, Part 1 guidelines are nevertheless fullled;
however, VDI 2035, Part 2 proposes a pH value between 8.2
and maximum 10.
If aluminium materials are used, which is the case in many
modern heating systems, a pH value of 8.5 must not be
exceeded! Because otherwise there is a threat of corrosion
– aluminium is attacked without the presence of oxygen.
Therefore, in addition to softening the heating ll and make-
up water, the heating water should also be conditioned
appropriately. This is the only way to comply with the
VDI 2035 requirements and the recommendations and
installation instructions of the heat pump manufacturer.
Part 2 of VDI 2035 also refers to the reduction in total salt
content (conductivity). The risk of corrosion is far lower if

commissioning.
WATER QUALITY OF THE FILL AND MAKE UP WATER TO
VDI 2035
PART I AND II IN WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
Use of modern, energy-efcient heat pump systems is
becoming increasingly widespread. Their ingenious tech-
nology enables these systems to achieve very good
efciencies. The decreasing space available for heat
generators has led to the development of compact units
with increasingly smaller cross-sections and high heat
transfer capacities. This means the complexity of the
systems and the material diversity are also increasing, which
plays an important role especially with regard to their
corrosivity. The heating water not only affects the efciency
of the system, but also the life of the heat generator and the
heating components of a system.
The guide values of VDI 2035 Part I and Part II must
therefore be complied with as minimum requirements for
proper operation of the systems. Our practical experience
has shown that the safest, most reliable and fault-free
running is achieved with so-called low-salt operation.
VDI 2035 Part I provides important information and
recommendations regarding scaling and its prevention in
heating and domestic hot water heating systems.
VDI 2035 Part II primarily deals with the requirements
for reducing heating water corrosion in hot water heating
systems.
PRINCIPLES OF PART I AND PART II
The occurrence of scaling and corrosion damage in hot
water heating systems is low, if
- the planning, design and commissioning are carried out
properly
- the system is closed in corrosion terms
- adequately dimensioned pressure maintenance is inte-
grated
- the guide values for the heating water are complied with
- and regular servicing and maintenance are carried out.
A system log should be kept, in which the relevant planning
& design data is entered (VDI 2035).

Insulating the hydraulic
connections
Insulate the vibration isolators and the xed piping of
the heating circuit laid outdoors with vapour-diffusion
impermeable insulation.
Insulate according to the relevant local standards, guidelines
and directives.
ATTENTION
Lay the xed piping of the heating circuit outdoors
below the frost boundary.
Check that all hydraulic connections are leaktight.
Perform leak test…
Insulate all connection, connectors and pipes of the
heating circuit and the heat source.
deionised water is used than is the case if the system is
operated with salty, i.e. softened water.
Even drinking water softened beforehand contains dis-
solved, corrosive salts which, due to the use of different ma-
terials in the heating system, act as electrolytes and there-
fore accelerate corrosion processes. This can ultimately re-
sult in pitting.
ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH LOW-SALT OPERATION
The problems listed above do not occur at all with low-salt
operation, as the heating water contains neither corrosive
salts such as sulphates, chlorides and nitrates nor alkalising
sodium hydrogen carbonate. The corrosive properties of
deionised water are very low and in addition, scale cannot
form. This is the ideal approach for closed heating circuits, in
particular, because low oxygen input into the heating circuit
can also be tolerated.
In general, when the system is lled with deionised water,
the pH value sets itself within the ideal range due to “self-
alkalinisation”. If necessary, a pH value of 8.2 can be very
easily attained by adding chemicals. In this way, optimum
protection of the entire heating system is achieved.
MONITORING
Analytical recording and monitoring of the relevant water
values and the added conditioning substances is of decisive
importance. Therefore, they should be monitored regularly
using appropriate water test equipment.
Filling and venting the heating circuit…
Open the additional venting valve at the condenser of
the heat pump. Venting the condenser…
