The heat pump system is planned step by step. The overview of individual
steps below refers to the respective sections in which each planning
step is clearly described.
1. Establishing the outside design temperature θe
2. Establishing the heating load
3. Establishing hot water demand
4. Establishing the heat emitter temperature
5. Heat pump selection and determination of the bivalence point 68 and 69
6. Installation room and acoustics
7. Integration of hydraulics and control engineering
Panasonic offers the Aquarea Designer for free download at
www.PanasonicProClub.com, for easy and quick modelling
and optimisation of the heat pump heating systems.
The program offers the following functions:
• Sizing of heat pumps based on building and consumption data
• Comprises in-house air-conditioning and weather databases for
sizing calculation
• Quick selection of the suitable heat pump
• Calculation of the bivalence point
• Calculation of coefficient of performance and seasonal performance
factor according to VDI 4650
• Costs comparison
• Quick design or expert design as well as either a short or long report
