Energy sources and operating modes 
Energy sources

Air as heat source Main layout, air as heat source


Air heated by the sun is universally
available. Even at –20 °C outdoor air
temperature, heat pumps can still ex-
tract sufficient energy for efficient use.
However, air as heat source has the
disadvantage that it is coldest when the
highest heat demand arises.
Although it is still possible to extract
heat from air as cold as -20 °C, the
heat pump coefficient of performance
decreases in line with the outside
temperature.
Therefore in most cases the aim is to
combine with a second heat source that

26_03_01_0360
boosts the heat pump output, particu-
larly during the colder season.
One particular benefit is the ease of
installation of air | water heat pumps,
as no extensive ground work or well
drilling is required.

Heat source water


Main layout, groundwater as heat source
Groundwater is a good store of solar
energy. Even on the coldest days in
winter, temperatures of +7 °C to +12 °C
are maintained.
The near constant temperature level of
this heat source enables the heat pump
to achieve a favourable COP all the year
round.
Regrettably, groundwater of adequate
quality is not universally available.
Where it is available, its utilisation is
certainly worthwhile.
Utilising this heat source requires the
drilling of a delivery or dry well.
26_03_01_0361

The use of groundwater usually


requires the approval of your local
water board [check local regulations].
Your local water board will advise you
about the possibility of utilising these
waterways.

Energy sources and operating modes 
Energy sources

Heat source: Ground with a geothermal Main layout, geothermal collector


collector as heat source
At a depth of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, the
ground remains warm enough, even on
colder days, to enable an economical
heat pump operation.
This requires the availability of a prop-
erty large enough to accommodate a
pipe system for collecting the heat from
the ground. As a rule of thumb, you
would need approximately two to three
times as much ground area as living
area to be heated.
In dry, sandy soil, the geothermal
collector can extract between 10 and

Geothermal probes that are set up to

Heating water quality

Water quality Benefits of water softening


The heating water quality has an »» Preventing thermal stresses through deposits
impact on the components that are part »» Prevention of mechanical stresses and component failure
of the water circuit as well as on the
function of the entire system. »» Energy saving through optimised heat exchanger surfaces

Here, the water hardness and the


substances in the water are the crucial
factors.
In Germany, the water quality of heat-
ing systems between 20 and 300 kW
output are regulated by the VDI 2035.
In accordance with VDI 2035, sheet
1, fill and top-up water of heating
systems must be treated or softened to
prevent damage. If the limits specified
in the table are not adhered to, soften
the heating water.

General function
Our softening appliances work on the
ion exchange principle.
When exchanging ions, the fill water
as well as the top-up water are routed
through a sodium-ion exchange resin.
Calcium ions and magnesium ions are
replaced with sodium ions. By replac-
ing the Ca and Mg ions, chemical com-
pounds based on the aforementioned
are no longer possible in the heating
water, in other words, soft water free
from calcium is generated.
This chemical process has no negative
effect on heating water or the service
life of system components and parts. Conversion table

In this example, the point of intersec-
tion between the heating curve B and
the max. heat pump flow temperature
of +60 °C arrives at an outside tem-
perature of – 4 °C. The application limit
of this heat pump therefore lies at an
outside temperature of – 4 °C because
of the heat distribution system.
It is often noted in practice that,
through external and internal energy
recovery, the heating limits can be
extended to meet lower temperatures.
This means that the heat pump covers
a higher percentage of the annual
heating load.

Rule of thumb
The lower the flow temperature of the
heating system, the higher the output
of the heat pump.

Hydraulic connection into the heat consumer system

Buffer cylinder Heat pump with overflow facility


For a perfect operation, heat pumps
require a minimum flow rate of heating
water. A buffer cylinder is recommend-
ed to ensure a trouble-free heat pump
operation.
Buffer cylinders provide hydraulic
separation between the heat pump
circuit and the heating circuit volume
flow. The flow rate in the heat pump
circuit remains constant if the flow rate
in the heating circuit is reduced by

26_03_01_0380
thermostatic valves, for example.
Convector heating systems are gener-
ally filled with a small amount of water.
In such systems, use a buffer cylinder Heat pump with low loss header (separating cylinder)
of appropriate size to prevent frequent
cycling of the heat pump.
A buffer cylinder is also required for
the defrost operation of air | water heat
pumps.
Subject to tariff and country concerned,
heat pumps can be switched off by
electricity supply utilities during peak
times. For radiator heating systems that
cool down rapidly, the buffer cylinder
volume is selected so that the heat
stored therein is sufficient to cover any

26_03_01_0381
power-OFF periods.

Heat pumps with buffer cylinder

Heating pipework Mono energetic heat pump system


The additional water volume in the
buffer cylinder and the possibility of
shutting down the heat source requires
that an additional expansion vessel
is installed. Heat pumps are pro-
tected in Germany in accordance with
DIN EN 12828.
In systems operated without buffer cyl-
inder, ensure the minimum heat pump
circulation volume on the water side.

Structure-borne noise transfer


Preferably, flexible pressure hoses
(anti-vibration) are used to connect the

26_03_01_0718
machine to the pipework of the build-
ing. These will minimise the transfer
of oscillations, vibrations and other
structure-borne noise.
Dual mode heat pump system
Use anti-vibration mounts for all pipe
fittings.

Use a suitable buffer charging pump

For dual mode systems, always connect
the heat pump into the return of the
second heat source. The second heat
source may be an existing oil or gas
boiler, for example.

Heat pumps without buffer cylinder

Installation without buffer cylinder Mono mode brine | water heat pump without buffer cylinder
A constant heat pump flow rate is
required to enable the heat pump to
function correctly. This must be at least
20% of the nominal flow rate. Particu-
larly for air | water heat pumps, other
higher minimum flow rates may be
required.
The appliance-specific minimum flow
rate must be ensured at all times for air
| water heat pumps.
Constant flow rates are primarily
achieved with area heating systems,
where some zone valves are always
open. This can be realised by means
of an appropriate control unit for zone

26_03_01_0714
valves.
To avoid contravening the Energy
Savings Ordinance [Germany], a dis-
pensation must be applied for from Mono energetic air | water heat pump without buffer cylinder
the appropriate building authorities
if generally no zone valves are to be
installed.

Example: The room temperature can be


captured by the remote adjuster of the
heat pump control unit if zone valves
are only to be avoided in the living
room.
This will not contravene the Energy
Saving Ordinance.

DHW heating

DHW heating with heat pumps DHW heating with DHW cylinder SBB WP.
The wide range of applications and the
many options of combining heat pumps
with cylinders of different sizes and
equipment levels require engineering
and installation documents, that are
tailored to each individual application.
The connections on the power supply
and water side of the heat pump are
made in line with our technical guide.

DHW cylinders
The size of the DHW cylinder is subject
to the daily and the peak consumption,
the DHW distribution system and the

26_03_01_0384
installed draw-off points.
Apartment buildings and non-residen-
tial buildings are sized in accordance
with the consumption profiles and
guidelines appertaining to the hygiene DHW heating with instantaneous water heater cylinder SBS W.
requirements.
Generally, DHW is heated by means of
internal indirect coils or an external
heat exchanger.
When using an instantaneous wa-
ter heater cylinder, DHW is heated
by means of an internal indirect coil
according to the instantaneous water
heater principle.

Internal indirect coil


On account of the low temperature dif-
ferentials, we recommend an internal
indirect coil for DHW heating by means
26_03_01_0386
of a heating heat pump.
Internal indirect coils for DHW heating
require a heat transfer area of at least
0.25 m² per kW heating output of the
heat pump.
When sized in this way, DHW tempera-
tures of approx. +50 °C can be reached.
Where higher temperatures are re-
quired, DHW needs to be reheated by a
flanged immersion heater; alternatively
a high temperature heat pump must be
used.

Freshwater module | primary station 

Appliance description DHW heating with a freshwater module


The freshwater module supplies one or
two residential units with hot water.
This appliance is solely designed for
the transfer of heat from the cylinder
circuit (primary circuit) to a freshwater
circuit (secondary circuit).
Energy is delivered by a buffer cylinder
with a cylinder temperature of +55 °C.
The primary circulation pump is regu-
lated via block modulation, so that the
required DHW temperature remains as
constant as possible.
The DHW circulation option enables
three time slots to be defined. Outside

26_03_01_0719
these times, DHW circulation is acti-
vated by draw-off detection.
An additional sensor enables the
activation of an immersion heater
DHW heating with primary station
inside the buffer cylinder via a floating
contact.
The freshwater module is pre-pro-
grammed at the factory.

Control
The charging of the buffer cylinder for
DHW heating is regulated by the heat
pump system control unit.

Modernising older buildings 
Dual mode operation with existing boiler

Operation with an existing boiler Dual mode air | water heat pump system
The combination of two heat sources
(e.g. oil or gas boiler and heating
heat pump) in detached or two-family
houses is generally not economical.
Dual mode operation is only a tempo-
rary solution where the system is to
continue in use, for example because
the oil tank is well filled.
After using up the stock of oil, the oil
boiler should be removed and replaced
by the electric booster heater integrat-
ed in the heat pump. This requires that
the heating heat pump is appropriately
sized.

26_03_01_0720
Apart from the space taken up by the
oil boiler and oil tanks, economic rea-
sons particularly favour the removal of
the old system. Dual mode air | water heat pump system
The running costs for maintaining the
oil system and the sweeping of the
chimney frequently exceed the energy
costs of the integral emergency/booster

Heat sinks for cooling operation 
Geothermal collector and groundwater

Cooling with a geothermal collector Main layout,


geothermal collector as heat source
Using geothermal collectors for passive
and active cooling is generally possible,
but it does require accurate engineer-
ing. Collectors are installed near the
surface. This fact and high outside
temperatures can easily result in pas-
sive cooling heating up the ground
quite quickly. As a consequence, the
cooling capacity dwindles significantly
due to the insignificant temperature
differentials.

In most cases, passive cooling becomes


impossible from a source temperature

26_03_01_0362
of > 20 °C.

The local conditions are decisive for the


utilisation of the collector for cooling
purposes. The geological conditions
as well as the availability of water-
bearing strata determine the possibility
of utilisation. A geological assessment
must establish whether the heat flow
dissipated by cooling in summer can
be compensated for by the surrounding
ground, thereby preventing a detrimen-
tal drying out.

Cooling with groundwater


Main layout, groundwater as heat source
The utilisation of groundwater for
passive and active cooling is possible
and highly attractive. The consistent
groundwater temperatures of between
8 °C and 12 °C make active cooling un-
necessary in most cases, as a high level
of heat can be transferred to the well
system. When utilising groundwater
for cooling ensure that the require-
ments of the local water authority are
not infringed. For this, particularly the
temperature level is very important.
An intermediate heat exchanger is
recommended for system separation.
This must be corrosion-resistant and

Distribution systems for cooling operation 
Underfloor cooling

Distribution systems
As with heating, sizing the cooling dis-
tribution system is an essential success
factor for cooling applications. Particu-
larly in passive mode, the transfer ca-
pacity and the associated temperature
level are restricted. The distribution
system must be able to maximise the
effectiveness of the system. Apart from
thermo-active systems, fan convectors
or ceiling cassettes are commonly used.

Thermo-active component systems


Water-bearing pipework that is inte-
grated in ceilings, walls and floors to
help create a cosy ambience, gener-

26_03_01_1522
ally comes under the umbrella term
“Thermo-active component systems”.
Subject to demand, buildings can be
heated or cooled by circulating hot or Hook and loop system
cold water through the pipework. The
large areas that transfer heat or cooling
enable an effective energy provision
even at minor temperature differentials
between the room and the respective
surface.

Underfloor cooling
With only little additional control effort
and equipment, the underfloor heating
system can also be used for cooling
during the warmer season. The manu-
facturer must approve the suitability
of the floor construction for cooling,
particular that of the installed screed.
31_03_01_0006
Passive cooling always requires that
zone valves with changeover facility are
used.
The transfer capacity of underfloor Underfloor cooling
heating systems is significantly lower 1
than that of fan convectors or ceiling
cassettes. Consequently, the cooling 2
load of a room can frequently not be
fully transferred, meaning that the
required room temperature cannot be 3
achieved. In that case, the refrigeration
distribution system should be limited to 4
essential rooms.

Fan convectors and cassette units Fan convector


Apart from thermo-active systems, fan
convectors or ceiling cassettes are com-
monly used for cooling buildings. The
coolant temperatures lie between +7 °C
and +20 °C.
With fan convectors and cassette units,
the cooling water temperatures can
be reduced to below the dew point.
Sensible heat as well as latent heat can
be extracted from the room air through
the condensate removal.
The cooling capacity of a fan convec-
tor or a cassette unit is subject to the
size, the air flow rate and the coolant

of DIN 1946 into account, for example,

achieved.
The normal equipment sizing for aver-
age fan stages offers users the op-
tion of regulating quickly, even when
heat loads fluctuate severely (high fan
stage).
Fan convectors and ceiling cassettes are
equipped with a condensate drain and
can therefore be used for cooling water
temperatures below the dew point.
It is possible to extract sensible and
latent heat (condensate will be created)
from the room to be cooled. In that
case, distribution lines and compo-
nents must be insulated with vapour PIC00001255-00

Air | water heat pump 
WPL 10 ACS

Air | water heat pump for compact external installation. Internal air routing and
the shape of the plastic vanes of the axial fan ensure a lower sound power level.
The metal casing is corrosion-protected and made from galvanised and powder
coated sheet steel with an Alpine White stove enamelled finish. The fan grille,
the moulded recesses and the cover are made from weather-compensated and
UV-resistant plastic in Aluminium White. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically
sealed, tested for leaks at the factory and filled with safety refrigerant R407C. The
generously sized evaporator raises the heat pump efficiency. The large fin spacing
of the evaporator provides little air resistance, resulting in sound reduction and

Air | water heat pump 
WPL 13/20 basic

Air | water heat pump for compact external installation. Air is drawn in at the side
of the appliance, and discharged again via the axial fan at an angle from the back.
Corrosion-resistant metal casing made from galvanised, powder coated and stove
enamelled sheet steel. The casing parts are stove enamelled in Alpine White and
insulated to reduce noise. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed, tested for
leaks at the factory and filled with safety refrigerant R407C. Twin compressor anti-
vibration mounts for reducing the sound power level. Generously sized evaporator
for greater efficiency. The wide fin clearance results in low air resistance and con-
sequently in a sound reduction as well as optimum defrosting performance. With
integral emergency/booster heater for mono heating mode or mono energetic
heating mode and high DHW temperatures. The 4/2-way valve enables defrost-
ing by reversing the refrigerant circuit. An electronic expansion valve with bi-flow

characteristics and its own control unit and switching via the internal heat pump
control systems serves to optimise the superheating control and thereby achieves
an improvement in the COP. Time and energy efficient defrosting by reversing the
circuit. The condensate pan is heated by the refrigera nt circuit to enable efficient
defrosting. With integral heat and electricity metering via refrigerant circuit data.

Ensure that the surface on which
the heat pump is to be installed, is
horizontal, level, solid and permanent.
The entire heat pump frame should be
in contact with the substrate. Uneven
substrates can increase the noise emis-
sions of the heat pump. The heat pump
must be accessible from all sides.

Protection of heating water lines
against frost and moisture
In external installations protect the flow
and return lines against frost by means
of adequate thermal insulation and by
routing them inside conduits to protect
them against moisture. Insulation
thickness in accordance with Energy
Saving Ordinance.
The frost stat inside the heat pump
that automatically starts the circula-
tion pump in the heat pump circuit at
<+10 °C and thereby safeguards circu-
lation in all water-bearing components,
offers additional frost protection.
Fill the heating system with antifreeze
if the power supply cannot be guaran-
teed for a longer period of time.

Condensate drain
Route the condensate drain hose with a
steady fall or to the side out of the heat
pump.
When installing the heat pump outside,
route the condensate to an existing
drain or into a coarse gravel soakaway.
For this, ensure an installation that is
free from the risk of frost.

external installations with appropriate accessories. Corrosion-resistant metal cas-
ing made from galvanised, powder coated and stove enamelled sheet steel. The
refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed, tested for leaks at the factory and filled
with safety refrigerant R407C. Twin compressor anti-vibration mounts for reducing
the sound power level. Intermediate refrigerant injection cools the scroll compres-
sor at low outside temperatures, thereby achieving a higher heating output. The
wide fin clearance of the evaporator results in low air resistance and consequently
in a sound reduction as well as optimum defrosting performance. The 4/2-way
valve enables defrosting by reversing the refrigerant circuit. An electronic expan-
sion valve with bi-flow characteristics and its own control unit and switching

Air routing with hoses


The total length of hoses on the air
intake and discharge side must not
exceed 8 m. Never incorporate more
than four 90° bends. 1 2 3 4
The hose will tend to sag because of its
flexibility; therefore secure it approx.
every 1 m.
Special hoses are used to route the
inlet air from the outside to the heat
pump and discharge air from the heat
pump to the outdoors. These hoses are
highly flexible, thermally insulated and

26_03_01_1466
are self-extinguishing in case of fire.

Air routing with air ducts 1 Concrete 4 Recess all around in


the case of screed with
With air routing longer than 8 m, air 2 Impact sound insulation impact sound or thermal
ducts can also be connected to the heat 3 Floating screed insulation
pump. The cross-section of the air duct
varies according to the air flow rate and
according to the externally available,
static pressure differential of the heat
pump.
≥1000

To reduce the transfer of structure-


borne noise in the building, install an
air hose or canvas flange between the
heat pump and air ducts. When siz-
ing air ducts and grilles, observe the
external pressure of the fan. At least 20
% of total external fan pressure must
additionally be taken into account for
the air discharge side.
If the heat pump is installed in an
enclosed room, containing a combus-
≥200

tion appliance that draws its combus-


tion air directly from the room (open
flue operation), then provide a vent
to the installation room with 250 cm²
diameter to prevent the heat pump
from influencing the operation of the ≥500 ≥500
combustion equipment.
Without this additional vent, small,
unavoidable leaks on the air intake
side, e.g. at hose connectors or at the
heat pump, will reduce the air pressure
≥1000

in the enclosed room to unacceptable


levels.

Air routing with hoses Internal installation


The total length of hoses on the air
intake and discharge side must not
exceed 8 m. Never incorporate more
than four 90° bends. 1 2 3 4
The hose will tend to sag because of its
flexibility; therefore secure it approx.
every 1 m.
Special hoses are used to route the
inlet air from the outside to the heat
pump and discharge air from the heat
pump to the outdoors. These hoses are
highly flexible, thermally insulated and

26_03_01_1466
are self-extinguishing in case of fire.

pump. The cross-section of the air duct
varies according to the air flow rate and
according to the externally available,
static pressure differential of the heat
pump.
≥1000

To reduce the transfer of structure-


borne noise in the building, install an
air hose or canvas flange between the
heat pump and air ducts. When siz-
ing air ducts and grilles, observe the
external pressure of the fan. At least 20
% of total external fan pressure must
additionally be taken into account for
the air discharge side.
If the heat pump is installed in an
enclosed room, containing a combus-
≥200

tion appliance that draws its combus-


tion air directly from the room (open
flue operation), then provide a vent
to the installation room with 250 cm²
diameter to prevent the heat pump
from influencing the operation of the ≥500 ≥500
combustion equipment.
Without this additional vent, small,
unavoidable leaks on the air intake
side, e.g. at hose connectors or at the
heat pump, will reduce the air pressure

levels.

Air | water heat pump 
WPL 33 HT external installation

Inverter air | water heat pump with intermediate refrigerant injection. Can be
used in external installations with corresponding accessories. The sound power
level can be kept low by regulating the fan and the two inverter compressors. The
metal casing is made from corrosion-protected galvanised, powder-coated and
stove enamelled sheet steel. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically sealed, tested
for leaks at the factory and filled with safety refrigerant R407C. A refrigerant circuit
with two inverter compressors, which are regulated subject to demand and to
optimise the COP, ensure high efficiency. Through intermediate refrigerant injec-
tion, the scroll compressors are cooled at low outside temperatures and a higher
heating output is achieved. The wide fin clearance results in low air resistance and
consequently in a sound reduction as well as optimum defrosting performance.
The 4/2-way valve enables defrosting by reversing the refrigerant circuit. With in-

Air routing with hoses


The total length of hoses on the air
intake and discharge side must not
exceed 8 m. Never incorporate more
than four 90° bends. 1 2 3 4
The hose will tend to sag because of its
flexibility; therefore secure it approx.
every 1 m.
Special hoses are used to route the
inlet air from the outside to the heat
pump and discharge air from the heat
pump to the outdoors. These hoses are
highly flexible, thermally insulated and

26_03_01_1466
are self-extinguishing in case of fire.

pump. The cross-section of the air duct
varies according to the air flow rate and
according to the externally available,
static pressure differential of the heat
pump.
≥1000

To reduce the transfer of structure-


borne noise in the building, install an
air hose or canvas flange between the
heat pump and air ducts. When siz-
ing air ducts and grilles, observe the
external pressure of the fan. At least 20
% of total external fan pressure must
additionally be taken into account for
the air discharge side.
If the heat pump is installed in an
enclosed room, containing a combus-
≥200

tion appliance that draws its combus-


tion air directly from the room (open
flue operation), then provide a vent
to the installation room with 250 cm²
diameter to prevent the heat pump
from influencing the operation of the ≥500 ≥500
combustion equipment.
Without this additional vent, small,
unavoidable leaks on the air intake
side, e.g. at hose connectors or at the
heat pump, will reduce the air pressure

in the enclosed room to unacceptable


levels.

Sizing

Geothermal collector
In Central Europe, the ground as heat
source in this context is the upper layer
of the earth down to a depth of 2 m.
Heat is yielded via a heat exchanger
that is buried horizontally in an area,
where no buildings are located, near
the building to be heated.
The heat relevant to the extraction from
the ground is stored solar energy that
is transferred to the ground through
direct irradiation, air-borne heat trans-
fers and precipitation. This is also the
energy source for the rapid regenera-
tion of the supercooled ground at the
end of the heating season.

26_03_01_0461
The heat rising from lower strata
upwards amounts to only 0.05 to 0.12

heat source of the upper strata.

each. exceed 100 m in length, otherwise
larger circulation pumps with a higher
power consumption would be required.
The spacing between pipes is subject
to the soil condition and should be
between 0.6 and 1.0 m. This prevents
any ice radii from joining up to allow
rain water to soak away.
The pipes can be buried as part of the
general groundwork when building a
new house. In existing systems, excava-
tors can be used.

Note
Subject to climatic and geo-
logical conditions, for exam-
ple, the depth at which pipes
are laid may vary. Informa-

Geothermal probes 
General information

Geothermal probes U-tube probe with welded foot


Geothermal probes comprise a probe
foot and endless, vertical probe pipes.
The pipe diameter is
»» 25 x 2.3 mm down to a depth of 60 m
and
»» 32 x 3 mm down to a depth of 100 m.
This probe is inserted into a drilled
hole in the ground. After inserting the
pipes, the holes are filled under pres-
sure with a suspension, e.g. bentonite.
After curing, this must provide a dense,
permanent and physically stable con-
nection between the geothermal probe
and the surrounding rock. That ensures
a good thermal transfer.

Sizing
The system is sized in accordance with

Brine | water heat pumps 
Product overview

Compact convenience
A brine | water heat pump is an ideal
heat pump solution where a sufficiently
large property is available.
The plastic pipes of the geothermal
collector buried under ground or the
geothermal probes, in which the heat
transfer medium circulates, deliver en-
ergy to the heat pump. The heat pump
is installed in rooms that are free from
the risk of frost.

Control unit
The heating heat pump is regulated by
means of the heat pump manager.

E-000000-405_
The heat pump manager can be
installed inside the building, e.g. in a
utility room.
The heat pump manager is already
integrated in some heat pumps.

DHW heat pump 
WWK 300

This DHW heat pump is a compact appliance for delivering DHW at several draw-
off points in domestic and commercial environments. The DHW temperature can
be variably adjusted for the heat pump operation. If required, automatic electric
reheating can be achieved by means of the programmable 7-day time switch.
Electric reheating ensures that the upper third of the cylinder content is heated up
to the hygienically satisfactory DHW temperature. In its upper section, this com-
pact appliance includes an air | water heat pump unit comprising a condenser,
evaporator, fans, compressor plus all required control and safety equipment for
the refrigerant circuit. The user interface is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, a
DHW thermometer and an illuminated pushbutton for the once-only electric heat-
up. The lower appliance section includes the enamelled steel cylinder with directly
applied foam insulation and protective magnesium anode. Lowest heat losses are
PIC00000415-00

assured by the highly effective thermal insulation. The metal casing features a
white stove enamelled finish. The appliance is equipped with a power cable with

Function

The appliance can be used as a central


extract air module for heat recovery
together with a brine | water heat
pump. When combined with a brine |
water heat pump, the heat recovered
from the extract air is transferred to
the brine circuit. Per 100 m² ventilated
living space, the heat source can be
reduced by approx. 700 W extraction
rate. The appliance can be installed
directly on the heat pump or on a g05 b01 d45
f03 f04
wall mounting bracket. The control
unit supplied enables the selection of
a complete ventilation program with g04

three ventilation stages and various


operating modes. An LED signals that
the filter has become contaminated
g05
and should be replaced.

Instantaneous water heater cylinders 
SBS 601/801/1001/1501 W SOL

Instantaneous water heating cylinder

Technical description:
Instantaneous water heating cylinder for DHW heating and hydraulic separa-
tion of the flow from heat pumps and heating circuits. It is designed to provide
system separation, to extend the heat pump runtime and, to an extent, to bridge
power-OFF periods. “W SOL” series for additional solar backup. DHW is heated via
a corrugated stainless steel internal indirect coil that functions like an instantane-
ous water heater. Optional extension by fitting connectors for an additional heat
source and threaded immersion heater (BGC). The thermal insulation WD SBS
(special accessory) ensures the lowest heat losses.
