General description
2.1. Heat pump
Heat pumps are made up of three main circuits: collection, refrigerant and
production. These circuits transport thermal energy between the collection
source and the different consumption points (DHW, heating, etc.). The transfer
of energy from one circuit to another is carried out by means of heat
exchangers, where the fluid at a higher temperature gives off heat to the
fluid at a lower temperature without mixing. The temperature of the collection
circuit is lower than that required for production. Therefore, to transfer
energy between both circuits, the refrigerant performs a thermodynamic cycle
in which it evaporates at low pressure and temperature and condenses at high
pressure and temperature, successively. To carry out this process, the
compressor consumes a small amount of electrical energy compared to the
thermal energy supplied. In geothermal heat pumps, the collection source is
obtained from the ground, while in aerothermal heat pumps it is obtained from
the outside air.
Electrical energy consumed 20 – 25%
Free energy extracted from the earth 75 – 80%
Energy supplied 100%

Modulating control technology The components integrated into the heat pump
have modulating control technology, allowing the thermal power, flow rates and
flow temperature to be adapted to the requirements at any given time. In
addition, the start-up cycles are considerably reduced, which extends the
useful life of the equipment. All of this allows you to reduce the electrical
consumption of your installation and obtain optimal energy efficiency
throughout the year.
HTR technology High-temperature heat recovery (HTR system). This exchanger
allows the temperature of the DHW accumulator to be raised to 70 ºC, when the
heat pump is producing heating or cooling for the home. This technology
increases the performance of the heat pump and its energy efficiency, since it
reduces the time dedicated to DHW production.
Integrated auxiliary heating equipment Electric resistance in the production
circuit. If desired, this resistance can be used occasionally to cover
consumption peaks, obtain high DHW temperatures or as emergency equipment if
it is impossible to start the compressor.
Passive cooling technology Additional exchanger for passive cooling. This
exchanger allows energy to be transferred directly from the production circuit
to the collection circuit, without the need to use the compressor. The only
electrical consumption is due to the circulation pumps, thus obtaining high
energy efficiency. This technology allows you to cool your home economically
with moderate outside temperatures.
Active cooling technology by cycle reversal Reversible heat pumps can reverse
the operating cycle in summer to produce active cooling. In this way, the heat
pump transports energy from the home to the ground using the compressor. This
technology allows you to cool your home even with high outside temperatures.
Simultaneous production technology Heat pumps can produce heat and cold
simultaneously, controlling the emission temperature for both services by
managing the heat pump and modulating bypass valves.
Integrated design ECOFOREST heat pumps include most of the components
necessary for your heating/cooling and DHW installation. This simplifies the
external installation, which reduces costs and space.

This field displays icons indicating the operating modes that are active.
Depending on the heat pump model and the configuration carried out by the
technical service, several operating modes may be displayed simultaneously.
DIRECT HEATING mode / DIRECT COOLING mode The heat pump sends hot/cold water
directly to the heating/cooling system, adjusting the power supplied to the
consumption of the home. The flow temperature and flow rate are constantly
monitored to optimise the performance of the installation. These modes are
activated when the heat pump receives a heating/cooling request from the
indoor terminals installed in the home (thermostats, th-Tune terminals, thT
terminals or TH sensors).
INERTIA HEATING mode / INERTIA COOLING mode The heat pump sends hot/cold water
to the inertia storage tank of the heating/cooling system. The power supplied,
flow rate and flow temperature are constantly monitored to maintain the
storage tank temperature and optimise the performance of the installation.
These modes are activated when the temperature of the buffer tank is
lower/higher than the start temperature differential.
DHW mode The heat pump sends hot water to raise the temperature of the tank to
reach the set DHW temperature in the shortest possible time. This mode is
activated when the temperature of the DHW tank is lower than the start
temperature differential.
POOL mode The heat pump sends hot water to the pool production exchanger by
adjusting the power supplied. The flow rate and the flow temperature are
constantly monitored to optimise the performance of the installation. This
mode is activated when the heat pump receives a pool production request.
ANTI-LEGIONELLA mode The heat pump raises the temperature of the tank to the
final temperature set by the technical service for the legionella programme.
Initially, heating is carried out with the compressor and then the auxiliary
DHW system is activated, if present, until the final temperature is reached.
This mode is activated according to what is established in the weekly anti-
legionella programme.
DEFROST mode The heat pump stops its normal operation to remove the frost on
the coil. Once the defrost is finished, the heat pump will continue with
normal operation. This mode is activated according to the parameters
configured in the installer menu.
ANTIFREEZE mode The heat pump activates the pump of the production circuit and
the consumption groups when there is no thermal demand to check, in conditions
of low outside temperature, the temperature in the circuit and activate
thermal production if necessary to prevent the fluid from freezing
.

When the electrical surplus management or forced consumption functions (SG4)
are activated, the terminals automatically change to the most demanding
ambient temperature setpoint according to the operating mode (Tmax for heating
/ Tmin for cooling). When none of these functions are activated, the indoor
terminals automatically change to the least demanding setpoint. Once the
automatic setpoint change has been made, it can be modified by acting directly
on each of the indoor terminals. The new setpoint will be maintained until the
conditions for a new automatic setpoint change are met.
Note: This configuration is associated with heating and cooling services. If
it is modified for heating service, it is automatically modified for cooling
service and vice versa.

General description
2.1. Heat pumps
Ecoforest heat pumps are comprised of three main circuits: source circuit,
cooling circuit and output circuit. These circuits transport the thermal
energy between the source and the various points of consumption (DHW, heating,
etc.). The transfer of energy from one circuit to another takes place through
heat exchangers, where the higher temperature fluid transfers heat to the
fluid at a lower temperature without mixing. The temperature of the source
circuit is lower than required for production. Therefore, to transfer the
energy between both circuits, the refrigerant undergoes a thermodynamic cycle
during which it evaporates at low pressure and temperature and condenses at
high pressure and temperature, repeatedly. To carry out this process, the
compressor consumes a small amount of electric energy compared to the thermal
energy that it supplies. In geothermal heat pumps the source is obtained from
the ground, while in aerothermal sources it is obtained from outside air.
Electric energy consumed 20 – 25%
Free energy extracted from the earth 75 – 80%
Energy supplied 100%

Inverter technology
The compressor and circulation pumps with modulating inverter technology can
adapt the thermal power, flow and outlet temperature to any given needs. On
the other hand, the starting cycles are considerably reduced, prolonging
equipment service life. All this allows users to reduce installation
electrical consumption and obtain optimal energy efficiency throughout the
year.
HTR technology
High temperature recovery (HTR) system. This heat exchanger is used to raise
the DHW storage tank temperature to 70ºC when the heat pump is producing heat
or cool air for the home. This technology increases the performance of the
heat pump and its energy efficiency, since it reduces the time dedicated to
the production of DHW.
Auxiliary integrated hot water equipment
Electrical resistor in the production circuit. This resistor can be used at
specific times to cover consumption peaks, achieve high DHW temperatures or
act as an emergency unit if the compressor cannot be started up.
Passive cooling technology
The installation can also include an additional exchanger for passive cooling.
This exchanger transfers heat directly from the production circuit to the
brine circuit without having to use the compressor. The only electrical
consumption is by the circulation pumps, thereby obtaining high energy
efficiency. This technology allows economical home cooling with moderate
outdoor temperatures.
Active cooling technology by cycle inversion
Reversible heat pumps can reverse the operation cycle in the summer to produce
active cooling. Thus, the heat pump transports energy from the home to the
terrain by using the compressor. This technology can be used to cool the home
even in the presence of high outdoor temperatures.
Simultaneous production
The heat pump can produce heat and cold simultaneously, it controls the
emission temperature for both services by managing the heat pump and
modulating derivation valves.
Comprehensive design
Ecoforest heat pumps include most of the components needed for the
installation or heating / cooling and DHW. This simplifies external
installation, reducing costs and space.

3.4. Mode
This field shows the icons that indicate the operating modes that are active.
Several operating modes can be viewed simultaneously, depending on the heat
pump model and the configuration set up by the technical service.
DIRECT HEATING Mode / DIRECT COOLING Mode The heat pump sends hot / cold water
directly to the heating / cooling system and adjusts the power supply to the
consumption of the home. The outlet temperature and flow are constantly
controlled to optimize installation performance. These modes are activated
when the heat pump receives a heating / cooling demand from the interior
terminals installed in the home (thermostats, th-Tune terminals, thT terminals
or TH sensors).
BUFFER HEATING Mode / BUFFER COOLING Mode The heat pump sends hot / cold water
to the buffer storage tank of the heating / cooling system. The power supply,
flow and outlet temperature are constantly controlled to maintain storage tank
temperature and optimize installation performance. These modes are activated
when the buffer storage tank temperature is lower / higher than the
differential of start-up temperatures.
DHW mode The heat pump sends hot water to increase the temperature of the
storage tank so it reaches the DHW setpoint temperature as soon as possible.
This mode is activated when the DHW storage tank temperature is lower than the
differential of start-up temperatures.
POOL mode The heat pump sends hot water to the pool production exchanger and
adjusts the power supply. The outlet temperature and flow are constantly
controlled to optimize installation performance. This mode is activated when
the heat pump receives a demand for pool production.
LEGIONELLA PROTECTION Mode The heat pump raises the temperature of the storage
tank to the final temperature set by the technical service for the legionella
protection program. Heating is produced initially by the compressor, followed
by activation of the auxiliary DHW system, if there is one, until the final
temperature is reached. This mode is activated in compliance with the
provisions in the weekly legionella protection program.
DEFROST Mode The heat pump interrupts its normal function, to eliminate the
existing frost in the battery. Once the defrost ends, the heat pump will
continue with normal operation. This mode is activated according to the
parameters configured in the installer menu.
ANTI-FREEZE mode In low outdoor temperature conditions, the heat pump
activates the circulating pump and the consumption groups when there is not a
thermal request to check the temperature in the circuits, activating the
compressor if necessary to prevent the water in the circuits from freezing .
DRYING HEATING FLOOR mode (Only visible with floor drying activated) The heat
pump sends hot water directly to the underfloor heating system, adjusting the
delivered temperature to the one previously set in the “underfloor heating –
floor drying” menu and running for whatever period of time has been set in
that menu. Note: After all the stages set in the floor drying program are
completed, the heat pump returns to normal operation and this screen
disappears. If there are requests for the enabled services, the heat pump
deals with them.

NOTE
Activation of the various OPERATING MODES may be affected by the time schedule
functions or heat pump service priorities (DHW, HEATING, COOLING, POOL).
The activation of the HEATING and COOLING operating modes may be affected by
service shut down temperatures.
Apart from the icons that define the operating modes, the following icons can
also be found in this field.
Operation This indicates thermal energy transfer between circuits and its
direction. If the icon is shown continuously, this indicates normal heat pump
operation. If the icon flashes, there is a heat pump protection activated. If
the icon is shown partially filled, it indicates that the compressor is
running, and it is shown empty indicates that the thermal energy is
transferred with the compressor off. Energy source Power removal or injection
at the energy source.
Cycle inversion The HEAT/COLD production cycle is being inverted. Only for reversible heat pumps.
STAND Stand-by
-BY
The heat pump remains in standby because there is no service request.
3.5. Operation program
The heat pump operation program determines which operation modes can be
activated.
WINTER program The heat pump does not allow activation of the PASSIVE COLD and
ACTIVE COLD operating modes.
SUMMER program The heat pump does not allow activation of the HEATING
operating mode.
COMBINED program The heat pump allows activation of any operating mode.
AUTO program The heat pump automatically switches between the WINTER/SUMMER
operating programs, depending on the outside temperature. The temperatures and
time required for the switch must be adjusted by the user.
REMOTE Control WINTER / SUMMER program selection is triggered by an external
signal.
3.6. Heat pump status

ON + SMART GRID status The heat pump is on and fulfilling any SG state.
ON +SG1 (Normal status): The heat pump operates normally according to their
configuration.
ON +SG2 (Reduced tariff): We are in a reduced tariff period, so we will take
advantage of the lower price of electricity to change heat pump setpoints and
produce more heat and cold.
ON +SG3 (Locked status): The heat pump is on, but limits the high
consumptions, therefore, it sends a compressor and heater lock signal.
ON +SG4 (Forced status): The heat pump will force the maximum possible
consumption in the installation to help balance the grid.
ON + NIGHT SCHEDULE status The heat pump is on and available to activate all
its functions, but performance is limited by night-time schedule programming.
