Additional heat:
The additional heat is the heat produced in addition to the heat supplied
by the compressor in your heat pump. Additional heaters can be for ex-
ample, immersion heater, electric heater, gas/oil/pellet/wood burner or
district heating.
Brine
Anti-freeze liquid, e.g. ethanol or glycol mixed with water, which transports
heat energy from the heat source (rock/ground/lake) to the heat pump.
Brine side
Brine hoses, any bore holes and the evaporator make up the brine side.
Calculated flow line temperature
The temperature that the heat pump calculates that the heating system
requires for an optimum accommodation temperature. The colder the
outdoor temperature, the higher the calculated supply temperature.
Circulation pump
Pump that circulates liquid in a pipe system.
Climate system
The climate system can also be called the heating and/or cooling system.
The building is cooled or heated using radiators, under floor coils or con-
vector fans.
Coil tank
A heater with a coil in it. The water in the coil heats the water in the
heater.
Collector
Hose where the brine circulates in a closed system between the heat source
and the heat pump.
Compressor
Compresses the gas state refrigerant. When the refrigerant is compressed,
the pressure and the temperature increase.
