Flow pipe
The line in which the heated water is transported from the indoor module
out to the house's climate system (radiators/heating coils).
Heat exchanger
Device that transfers heat energy from one medium to another without mixing
mediums.
Heating curve
The heating curve determines which heat the indoor module is to produce
depending on the temperature outdoors. If a high value is selected, this tells
the indoor module that it must supply a lot of heat when it is cold outdoors
in order to achieve a warm indoor temperature.
Heating medium
Hot liquid, usually normal water, which is sent from the indoor module to
the house climate system and makes the accommodation warm. The heating
medium also heats the charge coil with the hot water.
Hot water coil
A hot water coil heats the domestic hot water (tap water) in the indoor
module with heating water (heating medium).
Outside sensor
A sensor that is located outdoors. This sensor tells the indoor module how
hot it is outdoors.
Radiator
Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order
to be used with VVM 500.
Refrigerant
Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and that,
through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evaporation,
the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and during condensing, gives off
heating energy.
Retur n pipe
The line in which the water is transported back to the indoor module from
the house heating system (radiators/heating coils).
