2 System description
2.1 Concept of operation
The hybrid system consists of the following components:
- A Glow-worm Envirosorb 5 heat pump,
- A "Compact" hydraulic module,
- A boiler,
- The Systempro control unit
- A Climapro2 RF wireless programmable room thermostat,
- A wireless photovoltaic outdoor sensor
The following options may be added to the system:
- 2 port valves for zoning,
- A domestic hot water cylinder
The hybrid system’s concept of operation is as follows:
- The home's heat is generated by either the heat pump or the
boiler, dependant on outdoor weather conditions, and the
energy prices paid for gas and electricity.
- The software in the Systempro control unit constantly
monitors outdoor temperature, and the co-effi cient of
Performance (COP). The control unit then decides when
to switch between the heat pump or the boiler to maintain
comfort levels, whilst maximising the effi ciency of the system.
The switchover point must be determined in accordance with
the respective energy costs (see the "Activation of control unit >
Settings> Energy management" chapter).
