1.4 Standardised output data
Explanations to determine and interpret the specified standardised
output data
1.4.1 Standard: EN 14511
The output data specifically mentioned in text, diagrams and
technical datasheets has been determined in line with the test
conditions described in the standard shown in the heading of
this chapter.
Generally, these standardised test conditions will not fully meet
the conditions found at the installation site of the system user.
Depending on the chosen test method and the extent to which
the selected method deviates from the conditions described in the
standard shown in the heading of this chapter, any deviations can
have a considerable impact. Further factors that have an influence
on the test values are the measuring equipment, the system con-
figuration, the age of the system and the flow rates.
A confirmation of the specified output data can only be obtained
if the conditions applicable to the relevant test match those of the
standard shown in the heading of this chapter.

3. Appliance description
The WPF is a heating heat pump designed as a ground source
heat pump. The heat pump extracts energy from the heat source
medium at a low temperature level. This extracted energy is then
transferred to the heating water at a higher level, enriched by
the electric energy drawn by the compressor. Subject to the heat
source temperature, the heating water can be heated up to a flow
temperature of 60 °C.
Inside the WPF, a heating circuit pump and a three-way valve have
been integrated for diverting the flow either to the heating circuit
