Abstract: In order to improve heat reclamation, a circulatory composite system having one heat exchanger each in a supply air volume flow and an exhaust air volume flow is provided in an air treatment system and connected to a buffer reservoir supplied by a heat pump with heat energy. In addition, a method for operating a heat reclamation system with the structure of a circulatory composite system with an integrated heat pump is designed such that the volume flow of the heat exchanger is divided in the line leading to the heat exchanger. The at least two volume flows serve to flow through the heat exchanger (compressor) of the heat pump with a larger or smaller volume flow than the heat exchanger in the supply air.

Abstract: A device for controlling the heat output of a heat pump, with a storage circuit, wherein heat energy can be stored in a storage container, comprises means for receiving a volume flow of a heat carrier medium from a condenser of the heat pump and means in the circuit of the heat carrier medium for controllably feeding a volume flow of the heat carrier medium from a condenser of the heat pump to a desuperheater. In an embodiment of the invention, the device further comprises means in the refrigeration circuit of the heat pump for feeding the heat carrier medium from the desuperheater to the condenser of the heat pump.

Abstract: Existing energy recovery systems are used in the fields of air conditioning and ventilation for recovering energy from the outgoing air or external air. Subsequent to an energy recovery system (10), additional thermal energy is extracted from a used air volume flow AB, which is coming from an air-conditioned room, by another system, which consists of a heat pump (3), a heat exchanger (1), another heat exchanger (2), an accumulator circuit (9), an energy accumulator (9.1), and of a mixing valve (6). The associated supply air volume flow ZU is, when heating, additionally heated by the heat pump (3) by means of thermal energy from the used air volume flow AB. This results in increasing the energy yield from the used air volume flow AB. The temperature of the supply air is regulated. When cooling, the supply air volume flow ZU is cooled to the desired supply air temperature.
