Safety and quality
APPLICATION: Inverter air | water heat pump with output-depend-
ent control for indoor installation. Low sound emissions outdoors
make it ideal for densely built-up areas. Can be put to optimum
use to provide DHW and heating in modernisation projects due
to constantly high flow temperatures. The "IK" version includes
the compact air routing module with pre-installed air hoses on
the air intake and discharge, a controller and hydraulic compo-
nents. It can therefore be quickly and neatly installed in corners.
EQUIPMENT/CONVENIENCE: Optimum noise reduction due to
encapsulated refrigerant circuit and isolated compressor. The
wide gaps between the evaporator fins create low air resistance
and, in combination with the modulating fan, result in a low
sound power level. The combined enhanced vapour injection/
enhanced saturated vapour injection cools the scroll compressor
at low outside temperatures, enabling the maximum flow tem-
perature to be achieved all year round. In combination with the
ISG (optional accessory), the heat pump controller can be used
to control the system via a home network or a mobile device.
With integral heat and electricity metering via refrigerant circuit
data. An emergency/booster heater enables mono energetic op-
eration. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed, tested for
tightness at the factory and filled with safety refrigerant R410A.
EFFICIENCY: The waste heat from the inverter is used to raise
the return temperature, thereby increasing the overall effi-
ciency of the system. Demand-dependent and energy effi-
cient defrosting by reversing the circuit. The condensate pan is
heated by the refrigerant circuit to enable efficient defrosting.
INSTALLATION: Integral anti-vibration mounts for direct connec-
tion to the heating system. The metal casing is corrosion-protect-
ed and made from galvanised, powder-coated sheet steel, with
an alpine white stove enamel finish.
Function
Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger
(evaporator) on the air side across the entire application range
(see specification). The heating water is heated to the flow tem-
perature in the heat exchanger on the water side (condenser) us-
ing electrical energy (compressor). At low air temperatures, the
humidity in the air precipitates as hoarfrost on the evaporator
fins. This hoarfrost is automatically defrosted. Water created by
this defrosting process collects in the defrost pan and is drained
off via a hose. The energy required for defrosting is drawn from
the heating system. The heat pump automatically reverts to heat-
ing mode at the end of the defrost cycle. The heat pump manager
and output control function match the heat pump heating output
variably to the actual heat demand.
