■
Heat pump with integral instantaneous heating water
heater:
If the output available from the outdoor unit is not
sufficient, the instantaneous heating water heater is
switched on in stages.
If the duration determined for buffer heating has
expired but the required minimum return temperature
has not yet been reached, all stages of the instanta-
neous heating water heater are switched on.
■
Systems with external heat generator:
If the output available from the outdoor unit is not
sufficient, the external heat generator is switched on.
■
Systems with external heating/cooling water buffer
cylinder:
If the output available from the outdoor unit is not
sufficient, the thermal energy from the external buffer
cylinder is used.
Heating of the integral buffer cylinder ends as soon as
the minimum return temperature is 2 K above the cal-
culated set value.
