Economical and environmentally-conscious
heating
The burning of fossil-based energy sources in
order to generate power creates severe consequences for the environment. A high percentage of
fossil fuels is also problematic due to the limited
resources of oil and gas and the price increases
resulting from this. For this reason, many people
today are thinking both economically and environmentally-consciously in terms of heating. The
application of heat pump technology enables both
of these concepts to be combined. It makes use of
the energy which is permanently available in the
air, water and soil and converts it into usable
heating energy by means of inputting electrical
energy. Yet in order to generate heat equivalent to
4kWh, only 1kWh of electricity is required. The rest
is made available free-of-charge by the environment.
Heat source
There are essentially three heat sources that heat
pumps can derive energy from. air, soil and
groundwater. Air heat pumps have the advantage
that air as a source heat is available everywhere in
unlimited quantities that can be used free of
charge. A disadvantage is that the outside air is at
its coldest when the heat requirement is greatest.
Brine heat pumps extract energy from the soil. This
is undertaken in serpentine pipe networks which
are laid approx. 1m deep or placed by means of
drilling. The disadvantage is the large spacerequirements for the serpentine pipe networks or
the high cost of drilling. A long-term cooling of
the soil is also a possibility.

Water heat pumps require two wells in order to
obtain heat from the groundwater, one supply well
and one dry well. The development of this source
is not possible everywhere, it is expensive and
requires planning permission.
Function of the heat pump
A heat pump is a device which makes use of a
working medium to absorb ambient heat under low
temperatures and transports this heat to a place
where it can be of use for heating purposes. Heat
pumps work according to the same principles as a
refrigerator. The difference is that heat, the byproduct of the refrigerator, is the goal of the heat
pump.
The main components of the cooling circuit consist
of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and
an expansion valve. In a finned evaporator,
the refrigerant evaporates both because of lower
pressure and because of lower heat-source temperatures through absorption of energy from the
environment. In the compressor, the refrigerant is
brought to a higher pressure and temperature by
the application of electrical energy. Next, the hot
refrigerant gas reaches the condenser, a plate
heat-exchanger. Here the hot gas condenses,
transferring heat to the heating system. The liquefied refrigerant then expands and cools in a flow
regulator, the expansion valve. Then the refrigerant flows into the evaporator once more and the
cycle is complete.
For control, a Smart-Control is included which
ensures the independent operation of all safety
devices. The water-circulation system of the Series
WKF consists of a circulation pump, plate heatexchangers, dirt traps, safety valve, a manometer,
fill- and drain valves, an automatic air-bleeder and
flow switch. The WKF-compact series has, in addition, a 3-way changeover valve and a domestic hot
water storage.
Wall- and floor consoles, condensate pans, condensate tray with heating, a 3-way changeover
valve, a overflow protection valve and other sensors are available as accessories.
The heat pump the only source of heat for a
building all year round. This mode is particularly
suitable for heating plants with low supply-water
temperatures and is primarily used in combination
with brine/water and water/water heat pumps.
Single energy source
The heat pump has an E-heater to handle peak
loads. The heat pump covers the majority of the
required heating power. Occasionally, when it is
extremely cold outside, an electrical boosterheating system switches on as required in order to
support the heat pump.
Bivalent parallel
The heat pump provides the entire heating energy
down to a predetermined outdoor temperature. If
the temperature drops below this value, a second
heat source switches on to support the heat pump.
There is a distinction to be made here between
alternative operation with oil- or gas heat and
regenerative operations with solar energy or
wood-fired heating. This mode is possible for all
heating systems.
Layout
A precise calculation of the building's heating load
according to EN 12831 is required for the design
and dimensioning of a heating system. However,
approximate requirements can be determined
based on the year of construction and the type of
building. The table
approximate specific heating loads for a number of
building types. The required heating system output
can be calculated by multiplying the area to be
heated with the given values
For a precise calculation, various factors must be
considered. The transmission-heat requirement,
the infiltration heat-loss and an allowance for water
heating comprise the total heating output which the
heating system must provide.
The total area of the floor surfaces, exterior wall
windows, doors and roofing is required in order to
determine the transmission heat requirement. In
addition, information about the materials used in
the building is required, as these lead to extremely
Ä
on page 26 shows the
varied thermal transmission coefficients (the so
called K value). Also required are the room temperature and the standard outdoor temperature, that
is, the lowest outdoor-temperature on average that
will occur during the year. The equation for calculating the transmission-heat requirement is Q=A x
U x (tR-tA) and must be calculated separately for all
room-enclosure surfaces.
The infiltration heat requirement takes into consid-
eration how often the heated room air is
exchanged for cold external air. The room volume
(V), the air exchange frequency (n) and the specific heat capacity (c) of the air is also required in
addition to the room temperature and average low
temperature. The equation is: Q=V x n x c (tR-tA).
An approximate allowance for heating water - per
person according to VDI 2067: 0.2 kW
Example
A residential home comprised of 150 m² livingspace and a heat requirement of 80 W/m² has
been selected for the example design. A total of
five persons live in the house. The heat load
amount to 11.5 kW. Adding a drinking water allowance of 0.2 kW results in a required heat capacity
of 12.5 kW. Depending on the power company, an
additional charge must then be made in order to
factor in the service time-out period. The rating and
determination of the heat pump's balance-point
temperature derives graphically from the heat
pump's temperature-specification heat-output diagram. (In the example, 35 °C for a floor heatingsystem). Next, the heat load for the standard outdoor temperature (the lowest temperature of the
year locally) and the heat threshold are marked on
the graph. The outdoor-temperature-dependent
heating requirement, simplified here as a straightline relationship between heat-load and the start of
the heating season, is recorded in the graph of
heat-load curves. The intersection of the two
straight lines with the rated heat-load curve is
plotted on the X axis, where the balance-point temperature is read. (in the example, ca.-3°C) The
least load of the 2nd heat source is the difference
between heat load and the heat pump's maximum
heat output on these days. (In the example, the
capacity necessary to cover peak loads is ca. 3
kW.)

Characteristics of REMKO inverter heat pumps
Outdoor air as a heat source
An air/water heat pump absorbs energy from the
outdoor air as its heat source and transmits this to
the heating system. They have the following
advantages over brine/water and water/water heat
pump systems:
n Can be used everywhere Air is available every-
where in unlimited quantities. For example, no
wells are required.
n No excavation required. No large areas are
required for soil collectors.
n Economical. Expensive drilling is not required.
n Excellent value for money and simple installa-
tion.
n Particularly suitable for low-energy houses with
low inlet temperatures.
n Ideal for bivalent operation, in order to save
energy.

Split AC unit
The REMKO inverter heat pump is a so called split
AC unit. This means that it consists of an outdoor
unit and an indoor unit, both of which are connected via refrigerant-carrying copper pipes. Thus
there are no water-carrying pipes laid from the
indoors to outdoors which need to be made frost
proof. The outdoor unit contains only the condenser, the evaporator and the expansion valve.
This means that the outdoor unit is considerably
smaller. The indoor module contains the system's
condenser and the connections for the heating network.
REMKO inverter technology
The heat pump's condenser is equipped with a
requirement-dependent speed control system. The
power control on conventional heat pumps provides only two states, either ON (full output) or
OFF (no output). The heat pump turns on below a
specified temperature and turns off when this temperature is reached. This kind of heat regulation is
very inefficient. Heat regulation in the Remko
inverter heat pump is modulated to the actual
need. The electronics system has an integrated
frequency-converter which serves to modify the
condenser speed and the speed of the blower as
required. The condenser works at a higher speed
when under full load than under partial load. The
lower speeds ensure a longer operational lifetime
for the components, improved coefficient of performance and lower noise. Lower speeds also
result in lower energy consumption (electricity) and
longer service life. I.e.: inverter heat-pumps will run
practically throughout the heating season. In all,
the highest efficiency possible.

Under dynamic cooling the refrigerating capacity
Thanks to innovative inverter technology, this
heat pump will almost always operate by
adapting its heating capacity to the actual
requirements of the heating season, and will in
fact turn itself off when heat is no longer
needed. The same applies in the opposite
direction with cooling.
Defrost by circulation reversal
At temperatures below about +5°C, humidity
freezes in the evaporator (outdoor module) and an
ice layer can form which reduces heat transfer
from the air to the refrigerant and to the air stream.
This layer of ice must be removed. A four-way
valve serves to reverse the refrigerant circuit, so
that the hot gas from the compressor flows through
the original evaporator and the ice that has formed
there can melt. The defrost process is not initiated
after a predetermined time; rather it is carried out
as required in order to save energy.
Cooling mode
Because of circuit reversal, cooling is also possible. In cooling mode, the components of the
refrigeration circuit are used to produce cold water
with which heat can be extracted from a building.
This can be accomplished with dynamic cooling or
passive cooling.
is actively transferred to the indoor air. This is
undertaken by means of water-based REMKO fan
convectors. In doing so, it is desirable that the inlet
temperatures are under the dewpoint, in order to
transfer a higher refrigerating capacity and to
dehumidify the indoor air.
Passive cooling refers to the absorption of heat
via cooled floors, walls or ceiling surfaces. In doing
so, water-carrying pipes make the structural sections into thermically effective heat exchangers. In
order to achieve this, the refrigerant temperature
has to lie above the dew point, in order to avoid the
formation of condensation. Dewpoint monitoring is
required for this purpose.
We recommend dynamic cooling with fan convectors, in order to achieve increased thermal performance and in order to dehumidify the air on
muggy summer days. The advantage here is that
dewpoint monitoring is not required.
The comfort zone in the illustration below shows
which values for temperature and humidity are
considered comfortable for people. This range
should ideally be met when heating or air-conditioning buildings.

WKF series
We offer two different indoor-unit designs. The
wall-mounted WKF series is equipped with a circulation pump and a safety module on the water side.
Furthermore, an electrical auxillary heater can be
incorporated as an option. It may be dispensed
with an external buffer tank when the heat pump
acting as the sole heat source. Should a second
heat source may be used, a buffer tank is needed.
The WKF series was constructed for the addition of
several heat sources (bivalent installations or systems with solar-heating equipment).
External buffer tank is always required, its size
depending on the type and the power of the
second heat source. On the one hand, the buffer
tank prevents short run-times for the heat pump
and on the other hand, that sufficient defrosting
energy is available.
3.3
WKF-compact series
In addition, the indoor module of the WKF-compact
series is fitted with an enamelled 300 L domestic
water storage. An auxiliary electric heater 9 kW is
available optionally. As a result, the WKF-compact
series is the ideal equipment when the heat pump
is intended as the sole heat source (single energysource operation).
Single energy-source operation by REMKO SmartServ or bivalent operation by REMKO Smart-BVT
is also to realize. All connections are to be installed
on top of the device.

Outdoor module installation location
n The device may be attached only to a load-

installation site should be well ventilated.
n To minimise noise, install floor consoles with
vibration dampers and a considerable distance
from acoustically-reflective walls to minimise
noise.
n The minimum clearances specified on the next
page should be maintained when carrying out
the installation. These minimum distances
serve to ensure unrestricted air intake and
exhaust. Additionally, there must be adequate
space available for installation, maintenance
and repair.
n If the outdoor module is erected in an area of
strong winds, then the device must be protected against them (Fig. 34). The snow line is
to be observed during installation (
n The outdoor module must always be installed
on vibration dampers. Vibration dampers prevent the transmission of vibrations through the
floor or walls.
Fig. 35).
n A heated, condensate tra ensures that conden-
sation from the pan can drain off. Ensure that
the condensate is prevented from freezing so
that it can drain off (gravel, drainage). The
Water Ecology Act is to be observed.
n If there is insufficient space under the device
for the refrigerant lines, then the pre-cut
recesses can be removed from the lateral
enclosure-panel and the pipes guided through
these openings.
n During installation, add about 20 cm to the
expected snow depth to guarantee unimpeded
intake and exhaust of outdoor air year round
(Fig. 35).
n The installation site of the outdoor module
should be agreed together with the operator
primarily so that operating noise is minimised
and not in terms of “short routes”. Thanks to
the split-design technology there are a great
deal of different installation options with almost
identical efficiency available.

WKF heat pump modules are used in systems with existing storage tank systems. Their applications are
varied and they can be ordered in a range of different equipment variants. For example, external drinking
water storage tanks with a min. HE surface area of 3.0m² can be used.
The Remko drinking water storage tank, type EWS 300 is an enamelled drinking water storage tank with a
HE surface area of 3.5m². The additionally necessitated three-way changeover valve is switched over by the
Smart Control to provide HW. In a bivalent alternative application, the boiler can be connected directly to the
indoor unit (bivalent variant).
The highly efficient primary pump in the indoor unit can be used as a circulation pump heating cycle and its
speed is regulated according to requirements. A pressure loss of max. 80 kPa is made available by the customer. If the pressure losses on site exceed this, a separate storage tank, e.g. Remko KPS 300 must be
used as a hydraulic compensator. Then a Remko heating cycle group unmixed, type HGU, and a mixed
heating cycle group, type HGM, are available.

Description of the cooling installation
Cooling via floor heating cycle
(surface heating cycle)
If the series WKF heat pump is to be used for
cooling, then this must be possible via the floor
heating cycle. The hydraulic connection is identical
to the connection for the heating cycle. If the circuit
is used for heating and cooling, it will be connected
as presented in the hydraulic circuit diagrams on
pages
and
on page 41. The sensors S12 and S11 measure
the inlet and return temperatures.
Cooling via a separate cooling circuit
If a separate cooling circuit should be used with
the system in addition to the heating cycles, then a
changeover valve (A14) must be installed in the
inlet pipe, which is activated with 230 V. This is
attached to the controller on A14. In cooling mode,
the valve is switched to the cooling circuit AB/A. If
no cooling mode is operated, the valve is de-energised at AB/B heating cycle.
Dewpoint control via the Smart Control cable
remote control
If the series WKF heat pump is to be used to
implement a cooling function, the Smart Control
cable remote control must be installed in the
selected reference room (e.g. living room). It is recommended that it is mounted on the wall. It must
thereby ensured that the room air can freely flow
over the remote control. The remote control measures the room temperature and room humidity.
From these it calculates the nominal dewpoint and
correspondingly adjusts the cooling water temperature with a sufficient safety margin so that the temperature on the activated room surface as well as
the exposed pipes does not fall below the dewpoint.
Cooling of the
heat pump
Ä
‘ WKF hydraulic diagram’ on page 40
Ä
‘ WKF-compact hydraulic diagram’
It is also recommended to install a 230 V dewpoint
monitor with the associated pipe temperature sensors to the feed pipes outside the heat pump. The
location should be selected so that it does not
favour the temperature falling below the dewpoint.
The dewpoint monitor is wired so that it divides the
connector in the feed line to the utility company
switch to the controller (input S16) in order to
switch of the heat pump.
Cooling without installed cable remote control
in the room
If no additional remote control apart from the heat
pump is to be installed in the room, the regulation
of the minimum inlet temperature is via the outside
temperature minus 6 K. It is then essential to
mount an additional 230 V dewpoint monitor with
associated pipe temperature sensors on the inlet
pipes. The location should be selected so that it
does not favour the temperature falling below the
dewpoint. The dewpoint monitor is wired so that it
divides the connector in the feed line to the utility
company switch to the controller (input S16) in
order to switch of the heat pump.
Cooling via a parallel buffer tank as system
boundary
If the system is to be operated with a parallel buffer
tank, which acts as system boundary to the consumer circuit, then there is no need to mounted a
remote control in the living room, if the regulation
of the consuming cooling circuit is operated via an
external controller.
Cooling via setpoint
If no additional remote control is installed in the
room, the cooling system can be operate at a setpoint that is above the dewpoint.
CAUTION!
The water temperature in the pipes is maintained
above the nominal dewpoint temperature by the
controller, in order to prevent the formation of
condensation on the exposed pipes as well as
those concealed under the plaster.

done as an exception. VDI 2035 Part 2 requires
explicitly under Point 8.4.1 that all water treatment
be explained and documented in the system log
book. This has reasons:
n The improper use of chemicals often leads to
the failure of elastomer materials
n To blockages and deposits because of sludge
formation
n To defective floating seals in pumps
n To the formation of biofilm which can cause
microbial influenced corrosion or significantly
impair heat transfer.

n Make connections to the device by hand ini-
tially, in order to ensure a good fit. Later,
tighten the joints with two open-end wrenches
Use one wrench to resist the rotation of the
other (Fig. 47).
NOTICE!
Use only tools which are approved for use in
an HVAC environment. (z. B.: bending pliers,
pipe/tubing cutters, de-burrers and flaring
tools). Do not cut refrigerant pipes with a saw.
NOTICE!
All work must be carried out in a way that prevents dirt, particles, water etc. from entering,
refrigerant lines!

Leak testing
Once all the connections have been made, the
pressure gauge station is attached to the Schrader
valve as follows (if fitted):
blue = large valve = suction pressure
Once the connection has been made successfully,
the leak test is carried out with dry nitrogen. The
leak test involves spraying a leak detection spray
onto the connections. If bubbles are visible, the
connections have not been made properly. In that
case, tighten the connection or, if necessary,
create a new flange.
Pumping down to vacuum
After completing a successful leak test, the excess
pressure in the refrigerant pipes is removed and a
vacuum pump with an absolute final partial pressure of min. 10 mbar is used to remove all of the
air and empty the pipes. Any moisture present in
the pipes will also be removed.
NOTICE!
A vacuum of at least 10 mbar must be produced!
45
REMKO WKF / WKF-compact
The time required to generate the vacuum is
dependent on the final pressure pipe volume of the
indoor units and the length of the refrigerant pipes.
This always takes at least 60 minutes. Once any
foreign gases and humidity have been completely
extracted from the system, the valves on the pressure gauge station are closed and the valves on
the outdoor component are opened as described in
the "Commissioning" section.
Commissioning
NOTICE!
Commissioning should only be performed and
documented by specially trained personnel.
Observe the operating manual for the indoor
units and outdoor components when commissioning the entire system.
Once all components have been connected and
checked, the system can be commissioned. To
ensure the proper functioning of the units, a functional check must be performed prior to handover
to the operator in order to detect any operational
irregularities. This check is dependent on the
installed indoor units. The processes are specified
in the operating manual for the indoor units being
commissioned.
Functional checks and test run
Check the following points:
n Leak-tightness of the refrigerant pipes.
n Compressor and fan running smoothly.
n Discharge of warmer water in the indoor unit
and discharge cold air in the outdoor unit in
heating mode
n Function test of the indoor units and all pro-
gram sequences.
n Check of the surface temperature of the suc-
tion pipe and that the vaporiser is not overheating. To measure the temperature, hold the
thermometer to the suction pipe and subtract
the boiling point temperature reading on the
pressure gauge from the measured temperature.
n Record the measured temperatures in the
commissioning report.
Function test of heating operating mode
1.Remove the protective caps from the valves.
2.Start the commissioning procedure by briefly
opening the shut-off valves on the outdoor
component until the pressure gauge indicates a pressure of approx. 2 bar.
3.Check all connections for leaks with leak
detection spray and suitable leak detectors. If
no leaks are found, fully open the shut-off
valves by turning them anti-clockwise using a
spanner. If leaks are found, draw off the
refrigerant and rework the defective connection. It is imperative that the vacuum creation
and drying steps are repeated!
4.Activate the main circuit breaker or fuse (to
be provided by the customer).
5.Program the heat pump manager.
6.Switching on heating mode
Due to the switch on delay, the compressor will start up a few minutes later.
7.Check the correct function and settings of all
regulation, control and safety devices during
the test run.
8.Measure all cooling data and record the
measured values in the commissioning
report.
9.Remove the pressure gauge.
Final tasks
n Use the heat pump manager to set the target
temperature to the required value.
n Re-install all disassembled parts.
n Instruct the operator on how to use the units.
NOTICE!
Check that the shut-off valves and valve caps
are tight after carrying out any work on the
cooling cycle. Use appropriate sealant products as necessary.

Adding refrigerant
DANGER!
The connection of refrigerant pipes and the
handling of refrigerant may be only be carried
out by qualified personnel (competence category I).
DANGER!
Only refrigerant in a liquid state may be used to
fill the cooling cycle!
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from refrigerant!
Refrigerant degreases the skin on contact and
may cause cold burns.
Therefore:
- Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves
when undertaking any work involving refrigerants.
-Safety glasses must be worn to protect the
eyes.
n The outdoor unit is pre-filled with refrigerant
sufficient for a length of ordinary pipe up to 10
metres.
n If the length of any of the pipelines exceeds 10
metres, then an additional filling for each
metres of pipe length (basic length) is required.

NOTICE!
The escape of refrigerant contributes to climatic change. In the event of escape, refrigerant with a low greenhouse potential has a
lesser impact on global warming than those
with a high greenhouse potential. This device
contains refrigerant with a greenhouse potential of 1975. That means the escape of 1 kg of
this refrigerant has an effect on global warming
that is 1975 times greater than 1 kg CO2,
based on 100 years. Do not conduct any work
on the refrigerant circuit or dismantle the
device - always enlist the help of qualified
experts.

Annual power input factor
The annual power input factor indicates the power
input (e.g. electrical energy) required in order to
achieve a certain benefit (e.g. heating energy). The
annual power input factor includes the energy
required for auxiliary drives.
Bivalent mode
The heat pump provides the entire heating energy
down to a predetermined outdoor temperature
(e.g. -3°C). If the temperature drops below this
value, the heat pump switches off and the secondary heating appliance takes over the heating, e.g.
a heating boiler.
Coefficient of performance
The current ratio of thermal output produced by the
heat pump to the consumed electrical power is
referred to as the coefficient of performance, as
measured under standardised boundary conditions
according to EN 255 / EN 14511. A coefficient of
performance of 4 means that a usable thermal
output amounting to 4-times the electrical power
consumption is available.
General terms
Energy supply company switching
Certain energy supply companies offer special tariffs for the operation of heat pumps.
When switching off the power supply companies only on the barrier is in contact only
requirement of a heat source (heat pump) is
blocked. Be switched off at monoenergetic
operation, the power supply of the electric
heating element with.
Evaporator
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which uses
the evaporation of a working medium in order to
extract heat from its environment at low temperatures (e.g. the outdoor air).
Expansion valve
Heat pump component for lowering the condensing
pressure on the vapour tension. In addition, the
expansion valve regulates the quantity of injected
refrigerant in relation to the evaporator load.
Compressor (condenser)
Unit designed for the mechanical conveyance and
compression of gasses. Compression serves to
significantly increase the pressure and temperature of the medium.
Condenser
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which liquefies a working medium in order to transmit heat to
its environment (e.g. the heating system).
Defrost
At outdoor temperatures below 5°C it is possible
that ice may form on the evaporators of air/water
heat pumps. The removal of this ice is referred to
as defrosting and is undertaken by supplying heat,
either regularly or as requirements dictate. Air/
water heat pumps with circuit reversal are distinguished by their requirements-based, quick and
energy-efficient defrosting system.
Heat carrier
Liquid or gas medium (e.g. water, brine or air), in
which heat is transported.
Heat pump system
A heat pump system consists of a heat pump and
a heat source system. For brine and water/water
heat pumps, the heat source system must be
made available separately.
Heat source
Medium from which the heat pump derives heat, in
other words, soil, air and water.
Heating output
Flow of heat emitted from the liquefier to the environment. The heating output is the sum of the electrical power consumed by the condenser and the
heat flux obtained from the environment.
Inverter
Power regulator which serves to match the speed
of the compressor motor and the speed of the
evaporator fans to the heating requirement.
86
Limit temperature / bivalence point
Outdoor temperature where the secondary heating
appliance cuts in under bivalent operation.
Monovalent mode
In this mode, the heat pump is the sole heating
appliance in the building all year round. Monovalent mode is primarily used in combination with
brine/water and water/water heat pumps.
Noise
Noise is transmitted in media such as air or water.
Essentially there are two types of noise, airborne
sound and solid-borne sound. Airborne sound is
transmitted entirely via the air. Solid-borne sound
is transmitted in solid materials or liquids and is
only partially radiated as airborne sound. The
audible range of sound lies between 20 and
20,000 Hz.
Refrigerant
The working medium used in a refrigerant plant,
e.g. heat pump, is referred to as the refrigerant.
The refrigerant is a liquid which is used for thermal
transfer in a refrigeration plant and which is able to
absorb heat by changing its state at low temperatures and low pressures. A further change of state
at higher temperatures and higher pressure serves
to dissipate this heat.
Refrigerating capacity
Seasonal performance factor
The seasonal performance factor relates to the
ratio of heat content delivered by the heat pump
system to the supplied electrical energy in one
year. It may not be compared to the performance
number. The seasonal performance factor
expresses the reciprocal of the annual power input
factor.
Single energy-source mode
The heat pump covers a large proportion of the
required thermal output. On a few days per year an
electrical heating coil supplements the heat pump
under extremely low outdoor temperatures. Dimensioning of the heat pump for air/water heat pumps
is generally based on a limit temperature (also
known as balance point) of approx. -5 °C.
Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level is a comparable characteristic quantity for the radiated acoustic output of a
machine, for example, a heat pump. The noise
emission level at certain distances and acoustic
environments can be measured. The standard is
based on a sound pressure level given as a nominal noise level.
Split AC unit
Design where one part of the device is positioned
outdoors and the other inside the building. Both
units are connected to each other by a refrigerant
pipe.
Heat flux extracted from the environment by the
evaporator (air, water or soil).
Regulations and guidelines
The erection, installation and commissioning of
heat pumps has to be undertaken by qualified specialist engineers. In doing so, various standards
and directives are to be observed.
Seal inspection
System operators are obliged to ensure the prevention of refrigerant leakage in accordance with
the directive on substances that deplete the ozone
layer (EC 2037/2000) and the Regulation on Certain Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (EC
842/2006). In addition, a minimum of one annual
service and inspection must be carried out, as well
as a sealing test for refrigerating plants with a
refrigerant filling weight over 3 kg.
Storage tank
The installation of a hot-water storage tank is generally recommended in order to extend the running
time of the heat pump under low heat requirements. A storage tank is required for air/water heat
pumps in order to bridge off-periods.
