Heat pump capacity limitation according airflow

Heat pump is not operating when outdoor air temperature is between 15°C and 20°C, as, in this case, the rotary heat 

exchanger is usually capable of reaching desired air temperature. 

If heating/cooling demand increases when the heat pump is switched off, additional heaters/coolers are activated

.

When the heat pump is running, we recommend operating air handling units with the smallest pos-

sible air volume difference between the supply and extract airflows. In case of high flow imbalances 

(>20%), capacity and efficiency of the heat pump decreases, therefore the compressor operates at 

a critical refrigerant pressure limit. This results in reduced operating life and increased probability of 

failure.

During winter operation, when the heat pump is in heating mode, condensate on the evaporator starts freezing and 

forms frost. Large ice deposits block airflow in the evaporator and may damage the heat pump. Therefore, the evaporator 

is automatically defrosted during winter use. When the outdoor temperature drops below zero, the heat pump automation 

system starts constantly monitoring pressure difference upstream and downstream the evaporator heat exchanger. When 

condensate accumulates in heat exchanger plates and ice starts to form, pressure increases and defrosting actions are initi-

ated. During the defrost cycle, part of the hot refrigerant gas is directed from the compressor to the evaporator to melt for-

ming ice crystals, therefore supply air temperature temporarily drops. Integrated electric or auxiliary heaters are switched on 

to compensate for this change. As soon as frost melts and pressure decreases, all the power of the heat pump is redirected 

to the heating process.

Depends on configuration.
