Entering domestic heat pump systems

Within the "System" tab, in the "Domestic heat pump" group of the main toolbar, there are options for defining and entering the following elements, which make up the different domestic heat pump systems covered by the program:

  • Equipment
    • Compact unit, monobloc domestic heat pump system
    • Outdoor unit, bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor unit with DHW tank, bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor wall unit, bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Outdoor unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor unit with DHW tank, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor wall unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system
  • Refrigerant pipe

The following domestic heat pump systems are available:

Monobloc domestic heat pump system

A monobloc domestic heat pump system consists only of the following compact unit, available in the "Equipment" menu:

  • Compact unit, monobloc domestic heat pump system

This unit is equipped with two connection sockets with water distribution pipes.

When entering a compact unit of a monobloc domestic heat pump system, the following parameters must be specified:

  • Reference
  • Catalogue / Series / Selection
    Selects and imports data from previously uploaded manufacturer catalogues via the "Catalogue management" option.
  • 3D Model
    3D view of the selected unit.
  • Nominal heating capacity / Nominal cooling capacity
    Nominal capacities of the selected unit.
  • Design condition
    • Supply temperature (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))

Temperature difference (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
This figure is set by the program.

Bibloc domestic heat pump system

A bibloc domestic heat pump system consists of two elements, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, available in the "Equipment" menu, connected by a refrigerant pipe:

  • Outdoor unit
    • Outdoor unit, bibloc domestic heat pump system
  • Indoor unit
    One of the following must be selected:
    • Indoor unit with DHW tank, bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor wall unit, bibloc domestic heat pump system

The outdoor unit and the indoor unit must be connected to a "Refrigerant pipe" via the corresponding option in the "Domestic heat pump" group.

The indoor unit also has two connection sockets with water distribution pipes.

When the indoor unit is entered, the corresponding outdoor unit is simultaneously selected in the same editing panel, depending on the system. In this way, there is no need to enter any data for the outdoor unit when it is entered and only its layout in the space needs to be defined.

Therefore, when entering an outdoor unit of a bibloc domestic heat pump system, only the following parameter needs to be entered:

  • Reference
Outdoor unit, bibloc domestic heat pump system

When entering an indoor unit of a bibloc domestic heat pump system, the following parameters must be specified:

  • Reference
  • Catalogue / Series / Outdoor unit / Indoor unit
    Selects and imports data from previously uploaded manufacturer catalogues via the "Catalogue management" option.
  • 3D Model
    3D view of the selected unit.
  • Nominal heating capacity / Nominal cooling capacity / Refrigerant
    Nominal capacities and type of refrigerant of the selected unit.
  • Design conditions
    • Supply temperature (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))

Temperature difference (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
This figure is set by the program.

Hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system

A bibloc domestic heat pump system consists of two elements, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, available in the "Equipment" menu, connected by water distribution pipes:

  • Outdoor unit
    • Outdoor unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system
  • Indoor unit
    One of the following must be selected:
    • Outdoor unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system
    • Indoor wall unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system

The primary circuit can be laid by connecting the outdoor unit and the indoor unit with "Water distribution" pipes, which are available in the corresponding group. In this case, the pipe length limits, the difference in dimensions and the pipe diameter established by the manufacturer for the primary circuit must be checked.

The indoor unit also has two further connection sockets with water distribution pipes.

When the indoor unit is entered, the corresponding outdoor unit is simultaneously selected in the same editing panel, depending on the system. This way, there is no need to enter any data for the outdoor unit at the time of entry and only its layout in the space needs to be defined.

When inserting an outdoor unit of a hydronic bibloc domestic heat pump system, only the following parameter needs to be entered:

  • Reference
Outdoor unit, hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system

When inserting an outdoor unit of a hydraulic bibloc domestic heat pump system, the following parameters must be specified:

  • Reference
  • Catalogue / Series / Outdoor unit / Indoor unit
    Selects and imports data from previously uploaded manufacturer catalogues via the "Catalogue management" option.
  • 3D model
    3D view of the selected unit.
  • Nominal heating capacity / Nominal cooling capacity
    Nominal capacities of the selected unit.
  • Design conditions
    • Supply temperature (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
  • Temperature difference (Cooling (optional) / Heating (optional))
    This figure is set by the program.
