Refrigerant
Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and
that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evap-
oration, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and when condensing
gives off heating energy.
Return pipe
The line in which the water is transported back to the heat pump from
the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
Return temp
The temperature of the water that returns to the heat pump after releasing
the heat energy to the radiators/heating coils.
Safety valve
A valve that opens and releases a small amount of liquid if the pressure is
too high.
Shuttle valve
A valve that can send liquid in two directions. A shuttle valve that enables
liquid to be sent to the climate system, when the heat pump produces
heating for the house, and to the hot water heater, when the heat pump
produces hot water.
Supply temperature
The temperature of the heated water sent by the heat pump to the heating
system.
Water heater
Container where domestic water is heated. Is located somewhere outside
the heat pump.
