appliances, but it is essential that they are integrated correctly
in the heating system in order to obtain maximum output. The
thermal characteristics of the system need to be designed

outgoing water temperature is decreased.
The system must be designed so that the return
temperature is kept as low as possible, for example by
using modulating system pumps (the heat pump switches
off if the maximum return temperature is exceeded).
4.2 Hydraulic design
The choice between the HT and LT versions of the heat
pump depends on the type and design of the distribution

operation at return temperatures below 25°C.
When the design return temperature of the system is
lower than 55°C, back-up boilers are not needed for low
outside temperatures. The output ratio between the heat
pumps and the extra boilers can be determined based on
the limiting investment on the one hand and the average

When the design return temperature of the system is higher
than 55°C, back-up boilers are needed for low outside
temperatures. The output of these boilers (excluding the

the extra boilers are hydraulically connected to the heat
pumps in series (see also Fig. 02 and Fig. 03).
The gas absorption heat pump is not the most suitable
method of producing domestic hot water. The heat pump
can be used, however, to pre-heat domestic hot water
where a more complex and more expensive hydraulic
design is acceptable.
