The expansion valve, along with the condenser and evaporator, is one of the key components of the working cycle of a heat pump. Without it, one of the phases of the heat pump’s operation would essentially be ineffective. Learn how the expansion valve works and what its purpose is, which will help you understand the general principle of how a heat pump operates.

The history of district heating is a fascinating tale of how technology has transformed our daily lives over the centuries. From the earliest attempts to bring warmth into homes in ancient civilizations, through groundbreaking inventions of the Middle Ages, to modern, advanced systems – this evolution reflects not only technological progress but also the changing needs and challenges of societies. It is a story full of innovations that have shaped both our homes and entire cities.

Connecting a fireplace to a closed system using a heat exchanger is a solution that is gaining increasing popularity in modern heating systems. It combines efficiency, safety, and user convenience. Contemporary fireplaces are increasingly becoming the centerpiece of home heating systems, with their integration into open systems becoming almost a standard. Such an installation not only boosts energy efficiency but also minimizes the risk of overheating or system failure. Sounds promising,...

In today's world, energy efficiency and the safety of heating systems remain top priorities. But do you know how crucial a role an open expansion tank plays? This unassuming device, though small, serves a vital function in heating systems. It protects the system from dangerous pressure increases that can occur when water reaches excessively high temperatures or starts to boil. Simple yet indispensable.

Legionella in water is a topic of growing importance, particularly in the context of public health. This bacterium, naturally found in aquatic environments, can pose a serious threat in places such as hospitals, hotels, or nursing homes, where water is extensively used or stored. Understanding the conditions that promote the growth of Legionella and implementing measures to effectively limit its spread are crucial. It is not only a matter of knowledge but also of responsibility.

Installing Underfloor Heating. In this guide, you will learn what makes underfloor heating increasingly popular and how to carry out its installation step by step to avoid potential issues.

Are you planning to install a heat pump in a house with an old heating system? How can you protect the heat pump from the damaging effects of an open system? Read about how heat pumps are practically separated from old installations using plate heat exchangers.

How is a condensing boiler in an sealed system connected to an open installation using a plate heat exchanger? How is the heat exchanger selected for this application, and what needs to be considered? We discuss all technical and practical aspects.

In today's blog post, we take a closer look at the thermostatic valve for a hot water tank. Find out if you really know what it's used for, how to choose the right model, and why it's worth investing in one! Enjoy reading.

The specifics of using plate heat exchangers (or others) with groundwater, river water, rainwater, deep well water, or brine are entirely different from using them with municipal water. Most manufacturers exclude warranty coverage for heat exchanger tightness if they operate with untreated water. Why?

Solid fuel boilers most often require operation in an open system, which somewhat limits our options for connecting them, for example, to underfloor heating. However, there are ways to address this – check how the connection between sealed and open systems works.

Read this if your heat pump has started generating higher costs and consuming more electricity than usual. If there’s an issue with your return on investment and it was supposed to be cheaper, check what the possible reasons could be.
