10 Operating principle of heat

pumps

Heat pumps operate on the same principle as a

refrigerator: same technology, only with reversed

benets. The refrigerator extracts heat from foods,

which is released into the room through ns on the

back.

The heat pump extracts heat from our environment:

air, earth or ground water. The extracted heat is

conditioned in the unit and supplied to the heating

water. Even when it is extremely cold outside, the heat

pump draws enough heat to heat a house.

Example: drawing of a brine/water heat pump with

oor heating:

4

⁄4 = usable energy

approx.

3

⁄4 = environmental energy

approx.

1

⁄4 = external electrical

energy

11 Area of utilisation

Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits

of application and the applicable regulations, every

heat pump can be utilised in new or existing heating

systems.

12 Heat metering

In addition to proof of the unit’s eciency, the

EEWaermeG also requires heat metering (hereafter

referred to as HQR). Heat metering is mandatory for

air/water heat pumps. Heat metering for brine/water

and water/water heat pumps only have to be installed

for a ow temperature ≥ 35 °C. The heat metering must

record the total thermal energy released (heating and

domestic hot water) in the building. In heat pumps

with heat metering, the analysis is carried out by the

regulator. The regulator displays the thermal energy

discharged in the heating system in kWh.

13 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.

To ensure that your heat pump or heat pump system

operates eciently and ecologically, the following are

especially important:

€

ENERGY SAVING TIP

Avoid unnecessarily high ow temperatures.A

lower ow temperature on the hot water side

increases the eciency of the system.

€

ENERGY SAVING TIP

Preferably use purge ventilation. Compared

to continuously open windows, it is better to

air rooms by fully opening windows for a short

period, two to three times a day (so-called

“rapid” or “purge” ventilation); this reduces

energy consumption and your heating bill.

You can operate and control the heat pump system

with the control element of the heating and heat pump

regulator.

NOTE

Make sure that the control settings are

correct.

Operating manual of the heating and heat

pump regulator

14 Cooling

There are two ways to use the heat pump for air con-

ditioning in rooms, through: „passive cooling“ and „ac-

tive cooling“.

The main dierence is the compressor operation.

While the compressor is not needed for passive cool-

ing, i.e. it is passive, the compressor operates during

active cooling, i.e. it is active.

Another dierence is that both passive and active

cooling is possible with the ground and groundwater

heat sources. But only active cooling is possible with

the outside air heat source.

Passive cooling is the more cost-eective option. Low-

ering the temperature by 3-4 K is often fully sucient

to produce a comfortable room temperature in the

summer.

Whereas higher cooling output is possible with active

cooling.

Passive cooling uses the fact that the ground and

groundwater, from a depth of around 8 metres, are

more or less a constant temperature all year round

and in the summer are around 9 °C to 10 °C cooler

than the outside air or the interior rooms.

This temperature dierence is sucient to cool a build-

ing with energy from the ground and groundwater. Ad-

ditional fan coils, cooling ceilings, underoor heating

and thermo active building systems (embedding cool-

ing pipes), such as concrete core thermal activation,

can be used for direct cooling.

ATTENTION

By cooling with low ow temperatures, con-

densate can be expected to form on the heat

distribution system as the temperature falls

below the dew point. If the heat distribution

system is not designed for these operating

conditions, it must be protected by appro-

priate safety devices, e.g. dew point monitor

(purchasable accessory).

NOTICE

If the heating surfaces are used for heating

and cooling, the control valves must be suita-

ble for heating and cooling.

In addition, a dew-point monitor should be

used for cooling.

NOTE

Use recommended accessory dew point

monitors.

The room thermostat of the cooling function

(purchasable accessories, optional)

The room thermostat is used to release and to switch

o the cooling function:

I Cooling function switched on

Cooling function o

USE OF THE COOLING FUNCTION

The heating and heat pump regulation program acti-

vates the cooling function only if the following condi-

tions are fullled:

● Heat pump type with integrated cooling function

● Room thermostat of the cooling function is

switched on

● Temperature of the heat source is ≥ +5 °C

● Heat pump is currently not being used for „heat-

ing“ nor for „domestic water heating“. If the heat

pump control program sends the “domestic wa-

ter heating” request to the heat pump, the cool-

ing function of the heat pump stops automati-

cally for the duration of the domestic water heat-

ing

● The „Automatic“ setting is selected under the

„Cooling mode“ heading

● The outside temperature release set at the con-

trol is exceeded

Operating manual of the heating and heat

pump regulator

The cooling function can be used in two variants:

Variant 1:

Manual switching from heating to cooling mode

(and vice versa). This uses a xed pre-set ow

temperature.

Operating manual of the heating and heat

pump controller.

Variant 2:

Automatic switching from heating to cooling

mode (and vice versa). This variant can operate

using a cooling curve.

NOTE

Variant 2 is only possible if the expansion

board (purchasable accessories) is installed

in the heating and heat pump controller.

Expansion board operating manual

15 Care of the unit

The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a

damp cloth and standard cleaning products.

Do not use cleaning or care products that contain

abrasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would

destroy the surfaces and could also damage the

technical components of the unit.

16 Maintenance of the unit

The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no regu-

lar 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, circulating pumps,

lters, dirt traps) should be inspected and cleaned

as needed - at the very least annually - by qualied

personnel (heating or cooling system tters).

It is best to arrange a maintenance agreement with

a heating installation company. The company will

arrange for the required maintenance at regular

intervals.

23.2 ushing and lling the heating

circuit

Water quality

of the ll and additional water in hot water

heating systems according to VDI 2035 Part

I and II

Use of modern, energy-ecient heat pump systems

is becoming increasingly widespread. Their ingenious

technology enables these systems to achieve very

good eciencies. The decreasing space available for

heat generators has led to the development of compact

units with increasingly smaller cross-sections and high

capacities. This means the complexity of the systems

and the material diversity are also increasing, which

plays an important role especially in their corrosion

behaviour. The heating water not only aects the

e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 and most

19

Subject to technical amendments without notice | 83053700kUK – Translation of the original operating manual | ait-deutschland GmbH

trouble-free running of the systems is achieved with

so-called low-salt operation.

VDI 2035 Part I gives 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

● proper planning and commissioning is carried out

● the system is closed in corrosion terms

● adequately dimensioned pressurising is inte-

grated

● the guide values for the heating water are com-

plied with

● and regular servicing and maintenance are car-

ried out.

A system log should be kept, in which the relevant

planning data is entered (VDI 2035).

Damage that can occur in case of non-

compliance

● malfunctions and the failure of components (e.g.

pumps, valves)

● internal and external leaks (e.g. from heat ex-

changers)

● cross-section reduction and blockaging of compo-

nents (e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps)

● Material fatigue

● gas bubbles and gas cushion formation (cavita-

tion)

● negative eect on heat transfer (formation of coat-

ings, 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. The eciency falls

and the energy costs rise. A rule of thumb is that 1

millimetre of limescale deposit causes an energy 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 before the heating is lled, in

accordance with the VDI 2035 guidelines, no scale

can form. This eectively and permanently prevents

limescale deposits and the resulting negative eects

on the entire heating system.

Corrosion – an underestimated problem

VDI 2035, Part II, deals with the problem of corrosion.

Softening the heating water can prove to be

insu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. The VDI 2035, Part

1 guidelines are fullled, however, VDI 2035, Part 2

suggests 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 – and aluminium is attacked without the

presence of oxygen. Therefore, apart from softening

the heating ll and additional water, the heating water

should also be appropriately conditioned. 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 points out the reduction in total

salt content (conductivity). The risk of corrosion is far

lower if deionised water is used than is the case if the

system is operated with salty, i.e. softened water.

Even if the water has been softened beforehand, it

contains dissolved, corrosion-promoting salts, which

act as electrolytes due to the use of dierent materials

in the heating system and therefore accelerate

corrosion processes. This can ultimately result in

pitting.

On the safe side with low-salt operation

The problems listed above do not occur at all with

low-salt operation, as neither corrosive salts such as

sulphates, chlorides and nitrates nor alkalising sodium

hydrogen carbonate are in the heating water. The

corrosive properties of deionised water are very low

and in addition, fur cannot form in the boiler. 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 alkalised 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 active conditioning

substances is of decisive importance. Therefore, they

should be monitored regularly using appropriate water

test equipment.

ATTENTION

Before ushing and lling the heating circuit,

the drain pipe of the safety valve must be

connected.

Flush heating circuit system thoroughly.

Fill heating circuit.

Bleed heating circuit.

24 Insulating the hydraulic

connections

NOTE

Insulate the heating circuit and the heat

source according to relevant local standards

and guidelines.

Check all hydraulic connections for leaks. Perform

leak test.

Insulate all connections, vibration isolation,

connections and pipes of the heating circuit and

the heat source. Insulate the heat source so that it

is vapour-diusion tight.
