Purpose of the Heat
Pump
2.1 Application
The brine-to-water heat pump is to be used exclusively for the
heating and cooling of heating water. It can be used in new or
previously existing heating systems. A mixture of water and ant-
freeze (brine) is used as the heat transfer medium in the heat
source system. Borehole heat exchangers, ground heat colletors
or similar systems can be used as the heat source system.
2.2 Operating Principle
Heating
The heat generated by the sun, wind and rain is stored in the
ground. This heat stored in the ground is collected at a low tem-
perature by the brine circulating in the ground collector, ground
coil or similar device. A circulating pump then conveys the
"heated" brine to the evaporator of the heat pump. There the heat
is given off to the refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle. This cools
the brine so that it can once again absorb thermal energy in the
brine circuit.
The refrigerant is drawn in by the electrically driven compressor,
compressed and "pumped" to a higher temperature level. The
electrical power needed to run the compressor is not lost in this
process. Most of it is absorbed by the refrigerant.
Subsequently, the refrigerant is passed through the condenser
where it transfers its heat energy to the heating water. Depend-
ing on the set operating point (thermostat setting), the heating
water is thus heated up to a max. of 62 °C.
Cooling
The functions of the evaporator and the liquifier are reversed in
the "Cooling" operating mode.
The heating water gives up its heat to the refrigerant via the liqui-
fier which is now functioning as an evaporator. The refrigerant is
pumped to a higher temperature level using the compressor.
Heat passes into the brine via the liquifier (evaporator in heating
operation) and consequently into the ground.

Basic Device
The basic device consists of a ready-to-use heat pump for indoor
installation, complete with sheet metal casing, control panel and
integrated heat pump manager. The refrigerant circuit is hermet-
ically sealed. It contains the Kyoto protocol approved refrigerant
R410A with a GWP value of 1975. It is CFC-free, does not de-
plete ozone and is non-flammable.
All components required for the operation of the heat pump are
located in the control box.. An external temperature sensor in-
cluding fixing accessories and a dirt trap are supplied with the
heat pump. The supply for the load current and the control volt-
age must be installed by the customer.
The control wire of the brine pump (to be provided by the cus-
tomer) is to be connected to the control box. When so doing, a
motor protecting device is to be installed, if required.
The customer must provide both the heat source system and the
brine circuit manifold.
