2 System description
2.1 Concept of operation
The Standalone system consists of the following components:
- A Glow-worm Envirosorb 5 heat pump,
- A "Standalone" hydraulic module,
- The Systempro control unit
- A Climapro2 RF wireless programmable room thermostat,
- A wireless photovoltaic outdoor sensor
The following options may be added to the system:
- 2 port valves for zoning,
- A domestic hot water cylinder.
2.1.1 Operating principle in heating
The system is designed to provide a heating need of 6kW max
at the reference temperature.
The heat generator consists of a heat pump and a hydraulic
module equipped with an electric heater. The heat emitters can
also be low temperature (heated fl oor, gentle heat radiators...)
or medium temperature (steel panels...). In order to always
obtain the best comfort/economy trade-off, the module heat
pump and/or electric heater supply the heating installation with
hot water at the temperature necessary to obtain the desired
ambient temperature.
When the power of the heat pump is insuffi cient to provide
heating, the self-controlled electric heater in the module
can operate simultaneously, up to a power of 4kW, as a
backup. This guarantees optimal use of the heat pump while
guaranteeing that the total electrical power consumption will
never exceed 6kW. When the heat pump is not operating, the
electric heater can reach a power level of 6kW.
The changeover point between the heat pump and the electric
heater is managed automatically, depending on the outside and
ambient temperatures. Thus, the system always optimises the
use of the heat pump with respect to the electric top-up heater.
2.1.2 Operating principle of the domestic hot
water system
The domestic hot water heating circuit consists of a heat pump,
a 3-way valve and a FLUROCYL hot water tank equipped with
an electric heater.
In order to always obtain the best comfort/economy trade-off,
the heat pump and/or the FLUROCYL tank electric heater
provide the energy needed to maintain the stored water at the
required temperature.
The lower part of the tank is heated 3 times a day by the heat
pump. In order to provide maximum economy, the electric
heater heats the top part of the tank just to provide the comfort
desired by the user.
The lower the hot water temperature setting, the more the
heat pump will provide energy and, therefore, more economic
operation.
