A malfunction in the heat pump can sometimes be noticed in the form of
a disturbance in comfort.
In most cases, the heat pump notes operational interference and indicates
this with alarms and shows instructions in the display.
Domestic hot water
The water one showers in for example.
DUT, dimensioned outdoor temperature
The dimensioned outdoor temperature differs depending on where you
live. The lower the dimensioned outdoor temperature, the lower the value
should be selected on "selecting a heat curve".
Efficiency
A measurement of how effective the heat pump is. The higher the value
is the better it is.
Electrical addition
This is electricity that, for example, an immersion heater uses as addition
during the coldest days of the year to cover the heating demand that the
heat pump cannot manage.
Filtering time
Indicates the time the average outdoor temperature is calculated on.
Flow pipe
The line in which the heated water is transported from the heat pump out
to the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
Heat exchanger
Device that transfers heat energy from one medium to another without
mixing mediums. Examples of different heat exchangers are evaporators
and condensers.
Heat factor
Measurement of how much heat energy the heat pump gives off in relation
to the electric energy it needs to operate. Another term for this is COP.
Heating curve
The heating curve determines which heat the heat pump is to produce
depending on the temperature outdoors. If a high value is selected, this
tells the heat pump that it must produce a lot of heat when it is cold out-
doors in order to achieve a warm indoor temperature.
