Exercise Booklet
Print this exercise booklet before studying the lesson on-line. It will enable you to write your answers to the HVAC
learning exercises. You will thus be able to switch between reading or listening to the file on-line and writing in the
booklet.

CONNECTING – REGULATING HEAT PUMP WITH

DHW PRODUCTION
English lesson
https://hvac-learning.com/renewable-energy/heat-pump-training/connecting-regulating-heat-pumps-with-
domestic-hot-water-dhw/

French version:

For each exercise, you will write your answer, then you will study its correction on-line before going to the next
exercise.
If you cannot do an exercise, you will be able to study its correction directly, but force yourself to write your
answer as often as possible.

Note that between 2 exercises, you will find it necessary to study the course. As a warning, in the booklet, you will
sometimes find the following indication:
- “ Study the course on-line before doing the next exercise” or
- “ Study the course on-line before going to the next paragraph”

Only study the paragraphs or the exercises which have an equal or a lower level than the one your training
requires.
NVQ Level = Vocational Certificate
A Level = High school Diploma
HND Level = Associate’s Degree
MSC Level = Engineering Schools

Then, when you have completed a file, you will be able to assess your level on-line through a Multiple Choice
Questionnaire in which you will only answer the questions related to the themes you have studied.
So now off you go and work well!
Good luck!
The Authors.

1
 N°1 – Principles of connecting heat pumps with DHW production
training – HND level
Study the course on-line before treating the exercise.

Question 1
Describe, literally, the principles of regulating the installation above.

Study the course on-line before treating the next paragraphe.

2
 N°2 – Principles of connecting HP with gas supplementary heating and
DHW production training – HND level
Study the course on-line.

N°3 – Study of manufacturers’ technical diagrams training – HND level

In the diagram below we can visualise an HP called an “Air/water” heat pump.

Question 1
In the installation above, are the heat pump and the heating circuit hydraulically decoupled?
Where is the feeder pump of the heating circuit installed?

3
Question 2
In the installation above, what are the functions of the 3 options proposed by the manufacturer?

The supplementary electric heating option is used generally to compensate power loss of heat pumps which are
subject to extreme cold exterior air conditions. Its size will be discussed in a later section. Let us look at the
information provided by the manufacturer for this supplementary heating unit:

Question 3
What supplementary heating outputs will require 3 phase connections?

4
Question 4
Compare the 2 diagrams connection A and connection B below.
What differences are shown with regard to the pre-heating of the DHW?

Connection A

Connection B

5
 N°4 – Study of animations training – HND level
Study the course on-line before treating the exercise.

Question 1
Study the animation on line, and then complete the table.

6
Question 2
Study the animation on line, and then complete the table.
