Heat pumps are becoming increasingly important, especially in view of the climate crisis and the tightening global conditions on the energy market. There are typical sources of error in their planning, installation and operation. If you recognise these, you can prevent them in a targeted manner in order to use the heat pump systems effectively. The book shows typical problems as well as the background of error sources and offers assistance in avoiding numerous planning and execution errors.

After an introduction to the different types of heat pumps, the main section discusses possible faults, their causes, their effects and possible solutions and resulting avoidance strategies.The current 3rd edition contains numerous new case studies of possible sources of faults: Contaminated heating water due to corrosion Problems with the combination of heat pump and photovoltaic system Errors in hot water preparation Use of wells for lowering groundwater levels and the consequences Pressure surges in water-water heat pump systems RegularRegular failure of the brine-water heat pump system Insufficient heating of an apartment building by the air-water heat pump Defect of a heating circulation pump Failure of a heat pump after a meter change The book is aimed at: Planning and architectural offices, energy consultants, engineers, specialist trades, experts, central heating and ventilation contractors.
