Operating Principle
Heating
Surrounding air is drawn in by the ventilator and fed via the evap-
orator (heat exchanger). The evaporator cools the air, i.e. it ex-
tracts heat from it. This extracted heat is then transferred to the
working medium (refrigerant) in the evaporator.

The heat is “pumped” to a higher temperature level by increasing
its pressure with the aid of an electrically driven compressor. It is
then transferred to the heating water using the liquifier (heat ex-
changer).

Domestic water can be prepared simultaneously, or separately,
via the desuperheater connected in series.

Electrical energy is used to raise the temperature of the heat in
the environment to a higher level. Because the energy extracted
from the air is transferred to the heating water, this type of device
is called an air-to-water heat pump.

The air-to-water heat pump consists of the main components
evaporator, ventilator and expansion valve, as well as the low-

At low ambient temperatures, humidity accumulates on the evap-
orator in the form of frost reducing the transfer of heat. The evap-
orator is defrosted automatically by the heat pump as required.
Steam may be emitted from the air outlet depending on the at-
mospheric conditions.

Cooling
The functions of the evaporator and the liquifier are reversed in

The heating water transfers its heat to the refrigerant via the liq-
uifier which is now functioning as an evaporator. The refrigerant
is pumped to a higher temperature level using the compressor.
Heat is passed on to the surrounding air via the liquifier (function-
ing as an evaporator in heating operation).

The waste heat can also be used for hot water consumers, such
as domestic hot water, swimming pool or bathroom heating, via
the additional heat exchanger.
