shut down for maintenance or when defrosting.

The following operating modes are available:

- chilled water production only (the unit operates as a chiller);
- hot water production only (the unit operates as a heat pump);
- combined production of chilled water for air-conditioning and
domestic hot water
- combined production of hot water for central heating and
domestic use

CHILLED WATER PRODUCTION ONLY

The unit operates as a simple chiller and transfers the excess
heat from the inside environment (heat of condensation) to the
air via a finned coil heat exchanger.
The system water is cooled in a freon-water plate heat
exchanger (evaporator).

HOT WATER PRODUCTION ONLY

The unit works as a heat pump that, by exploiting the heat of
the source air via the finned coil heat exchanger, heats the
water delivered to the distribution system via a freon-water plate
heat exchanger (condenser).

COMBINED PRODUCTION OF HOT AND CHILLED WATER

If the systems require simultaneous production of chilled water
and hot water for domestic use, the unit manages the
changeover in operating mode from chiller to heat pump and
deviates the flow of water to the two separate systems via a
three way valve, based on the priority assigned.
Changing the operating set point ensures the correct water pro-
duction temperature for the different uses.
Suitable storage tanks can be used for both chilled and hot
water to store the thermal energy produced for the systems,
with consequent advantages in terms of running costs.

ature hot water for central heating and for domestic use, but
also chilled water for air-conditioning in summer.
This function becomes essential in hotels where just one unit
can satisfy the requirements of all the systems, ensuring the
energy needs of the entire installation completely and efficiently.

For medium- and high-capacity installations, system capacity

can be extended to 400 kW using a modular configuration. This
type of installation allows differentiated management of domes-
tic water production so as to optimise the use of energy
resources without waste, likewise differentiating heating capaci-
ty from cooling capacity.

Its significant operating flexibility means high temperature heat

pumps can be effectively used in the following applications:
- centralised systems for apartments
- public buildings
- schools
- hotels
- hospitals and clinics
- sports facilities and fitness centres

5. CONTROL ELECTRONICS

The W3000SE controller is the new device designed especially

for heat pump applications with incorporated logic for high tem-
perature hot water production.
The keypad features function controls and a complete LCD dis-
play for viewing data and activating the unit, via a multilevel
menu, with settable display language.
The controller provides temperature control for the heating and
cooling systems in the air-conditioned rooms, as well as for
domestic hot water.
These different temperatures are managed automatically based
on the different conditions in which the system operates, with
the possibility to assign specific levels of priority to domestic hot
water production, depending on the needs of the application.
Diagnostics include complete alarm management, with “black
box” functions (via PC) and alarm log (display or PC) for best
analysis of unit behaviour.
For systems made up of multiple units, differentiated device
management means just a certain portion of the capacity
installed can be dedicated to domestic water production, in this
way ensuring more efficient energy distribution and, at the same
time, guaranteeing simultaneous water delivery to the different
distribution systems.
The built-in clock can be used to create an operating profile
containing up to 4 typical days and 10 time bands, essential for
efficient programming of energy production, and fundamental
for managing the Legionella prevention cycles.
Defrosts use proprietary self-adaptive logic involving monitoring
of multiple operating and climate parameters.
This reduces the number and duration of defrosts, consequently
increasing overall energy efficiency.
Supervision is available with different options, using proprietary
devices or by integration into third party systems using ModBus,
BACnet, BACnet-over-IP and Echelon LonWorks protocols.
A dedicated wall-mounted keypad can be used for remote con-
trol of all the functions.
