Abstract:
Heat pump system ( 100 ) comprising a heat medium circuit ( 210,220,230,240,250,310,320,410,420,430,440,450,460 ) in turn comprising at least three heat exchanging means ( 314,315,315,422,433,452 ) between the heat medium and a respective heat source or sink selected from outdoor air, a water body, the ground, indoorair, pool water or tap water, a valve means ( 311,312,313,421,431,451 ) arranged to selectively direct the heat medium to at least two of said heat exchanging means, and a control means ( 500 ). The invention is characterized in that the heat pump system comprises temperature sensors ( 314 a, 314 b; 315 a, 315 b; 316 a, 316 b; 423,424,425;432,434,435 ) both upstream and downstream of at least one of said heat exchanging means, in that the system determines, based upon temperature measurement values comprising at least onevalue read from said sensors, to what heat exchanging means the heat medium is to be directed, and in that when heat medium is not directed to a certain heat exchanging means a measured temperature value is read upstream and downstream of the certain heatexchanging means, and in that an alert is set off in case the values differ by more than a predetermined value. The invention also relates to a method.

Claim (Index 5):
Heat pump system according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat pump system further comprises a compressor, an expansion valve, at least one primary heat exchanging means arranged to transfer thermal energy between a primary-side heat medium and a primary heat source or sink selected from outdoor air, a water body or the ground, at least one secondary heat exchanging means, arranged to transfer thermal energy between a secondary-side heat medium and a secondary heat source or sink selected from indoors air, pool water and tap water, and wherein the speed of the compressor can be controlled, wherein an opening of the expansion valve is adjustable, wherein the control means is arranged to control the power of the heat pump system by controlling the speed of the compressor, and wherein the control means is arranged to control an output temperature of heat medium flowing out from the expansion valve by controlling the opening of the expansion valve given the controlled speed of the compressor.
