8 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
9 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.

10 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.
11 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.
