At least 2 water circuits are connected to a mixing buffer. One circuit is the heating circuit of the heat pump, the second circuit is the underfloor heating. The mixing buffer is charged by the heat pump. The underfloor heating circuit draws heat from the mixing buffer. In order for the heat from the heat pump not to dissipate in the mixing buffer, the buffer must be discharged to the same extent as it is charged. The two water circuits must therefore be optimally coordinated in terms of flow. Actually no problem. However, as a rule, the heating circuit pump of a modulating heat pump is power-controlled, while the circulation pump of the underfloor heating is not. This renders the concept of the modulating heat pump absurd.
