Abstract:
Within a warm circuit, a first heat exchanger is in heat exchanging contact with a heat source. A second heat exchanger is in heat exchanging contact with a space to be heated. Within a cold circuit, a third heat exchanger is in heat exchanging contact with a heat sink. A fourth heat exchanger is in contact with an external region. A valve device is to connect the warm circuit with the cold circuit. An actuating device is to switch the fourth heat exchanger into a de-icing mode. The valve device enables mixing of coolant at least partially from a portion of the warm circuit into the cold circuit.

Claim (Index 1):
A heat pump device comprising:\n a primary heat pump device having a heat source and a heat sink; and a fluid-based coolant secondary device having at least a warm circuit and a cold circuit, wherein a first heat exchanger is in heat exchanging contact with the heat source of the primary heat pump device and a second heat exchanger, which is in heat exchanging contact with a space to be heated and is connectively arranged within the warm circuit, and a third heat exchanger is in heat exchanging contact with the heat sink of the primary heat pump device and a fourth heat exchanger, which is in heat exchanging contact with an external area and is connectively arranged within the cold circuit, the heat pump device further comprising: a valve device adapted to connect the warm circuit with the cold circuit to each other, wherein a line portion, in which the mixing is carried out, lies upstream of the fourth heat exchanger; and an actuation device adapted to switch into a de-icing mode depending on an icing condition of the fourth heat exchanger, wherein the valve device enables the coolant from a section of the warm circuit, with which the heat source is in heat exchanging contact, to mix at least partially into the cold circuit.
