Safety and quality
APPLICATION: Inverter air | water heat pump with output-de-
pendent control, designed as a mono block appliance for
compact outdoor installation. Can be used for heating and
DHW; also provides efficient cooling via circuit reversal. Ide-
ally suited for use in new builds or buildings with a low sys-
tem temperature. Sold in perfectly matched sets with com-
pact indoor units for straightforward, space saving installation.
EQUIPMENT/CONVENIENCE: Optimum noise reduction due to
encapsulated refrigerant circuit and isolated compressor. In
combination with the ISG (optional accessory), the heat pump
controller (included in the sets) can be used to control the sys-
tem via a home network or a mobile terminal device. With in-
tegral heat and electricity metering via refrigerant circuit data.
The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed, tested for tight-
ness 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 efficiency of the system. Demand-depend-
ent and energy efficient defrosting by reversing the circuit.
INSTALLATION: Accessories for effective drainage of any conden-
sate are available for both floor or wall mounted installations.
Integral anti-vibration mounts for direct connection to the heat-
ing system. Easy access to the electrical connection panel without
having to open the appliance.
Function
Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger
(evaporator) on the air side across its entire operating range.
The heating water is heated to the flow temperature in the heat
exchanger on the water side (condenser) using electrical ener-
gy (compressor). At low air temperatures, the humidity in the air
precipitates as hoarfrost on the evaporator fins. This hoarfrost is
automatically defrosted. The accumulating water flows out of the
appliance via the condensate drain in the floor of the appliance
and seeps away into the gravel bed. The energy required for de-
frosting is drawn from the heating system. The heat pump auto-
matically reverts to heating 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.
In cooling mode, heat is extracted from the heating water via the
heat exchanger on the heating side. The refrigerant is heated fur-
ther by electrical energy (compressor) and gives off this heat to
the outdoor air via the heat exchanger on the air side.
