Predictika · Split heat pump orders

An AI sales agent's heat pump order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an air-to-water split heat pump: model, outdoor unit and hydraulic module, refrigerant line, R32 charge, room volume, heating circuits, options and the charge, capacity and weight figures it states on the quote. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the installation notice rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Alfea Extensa A.I. R32 split heat pump orders: models 5, 6, 8 and 10, refrigerant line and charge, room volume, circuits, options and stated figures. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Alfea Extensa A.I. R32 split orders as described in the public installation notice and data sheet, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Pairing — each model has its own outdoor unit and hydraulic module, the supply is single-phase 230 V, and the gas and liquid line diameters follow the outdoor unit connections.
  • Refrigerant line and charge — the line must run between 3 m and 30 m, the height difference may not exceed 20 m, insulation thickness depends on humidity and glass wool is prohibited; beyond the length covered by the factory charge R32 must be added by an approved specialist, which goes to a person for approval.
  • Room and circuit — the room volume must reach the minimum for the total R32 charge unless the room is ventilated, flow temperature is limited by the emitter type, and the circuit water volume is compared with the notice values (a person approves a shortfall on floors and radiators, a fan-coil shortfall is blocked).
  • Options and stated figures — the two-circuit kit, 6 kW backup relay, boiler relief kit, cooling kit, sanitary kit with mixed tank and condensate tray each carry their own rules, and the stated charge, heating capacity and weight are compared with the values computed from the notice and catalog.

Any Alfea Extensa A.I. R32 order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (no public professional price list was found, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), Combi-Duo and tank variants, the room opening cross-section tables, the ignition-source rule and installation-site conditions beyond the values listed.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong

Click to expand

Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
A refrigerant charge that grows with the line lengthOnly with care
The added charge, the minimum room volume and the specialist requirement all derive from one length; each model has its own free length and rate.
The length is one input; the charge, the room minimum and the approval are computed together on every call.
A second circuit that needs its own kitOnly with workarounds
The requirement depends on a choice on one line and a different choice on another, so it needs cross-line rules that interact with the rest.
Every choice is in one request, so the conflict is found whichever order the choices arrive in.
Stated charge, capacity and weight that must match the noticeOnly with care
The values depend on the model, line length and emitter type; each combination needs its own calculation and comparison.
Charge, capacity and weight are computed on every call and compared with the figures the quote states.
A room size that depends on the total chargeOnly with care
The minimum volume is a derived total that depends on the length and the model, and it changes when the room is ventilated.
The total charge and the minimum room volume are computed from the order and checked against the room on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.
All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Click to expand

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

1The heat pump is powered from a single-phase 230 V, 50 Hz supply; a three-phase supply is not listed.
2The outdoor unit in the order is not the one paired with this model in the package pairing table (5 and 6 use WOYA060KLT, 8 uses WOYA080KLT, 10 uses WOYA100KLT).
3The hydraulic module in the order is not the one paired with this model (5 uses 24,301, 6 and 8 use 24,302, 10 uses 24,303).
4The refrigerant line is 2 m; the minimum between the outdoor unit and the hydraulic module is 3 m.
5The line is longer than the length covered by the factory charge, so 125 g of R32 must be added; the notice requires an approved specialist for this, so a person should confirm it is arranged.
6The line is longer than the length covered by the factory charge, so 375 g of R32 must be added; the notice requires an approved specialist for this, so a person should confirm it is arranged.
7The refrigerant line is 31 m; the maximum, with added charge, is 30 m.
8The line is longer than the length covered by the factory charge, so 400 g of R32 must be added; the notice requires an approved specialist for this, so a person should confirm it is arranged.
9The line is longer than the length covered by the factory charge, so 100 g of R32 must be added; the notice requires an approved specialist for this, so a person should confirm it is arranged.
10The height difference between the units is 21 m; the maximum is 20 m.
11The gas and liquid line diameters in the order do not match the outdoor unit connections (1/2 inch and 1/4 inch on models 5, 6 and 8; 5/8 inch and 3/8 inch on model 10).
12The quote states a total R32 charge of 970 g; the notice rules give 1,095 g (factory charge plus added charge for the line length).
13The room is 3 m3; with the total charge of 970 g the minimum room volume is 4 m3 unless the room is ventilated.
14The room is 5 m3; with the total charge of 1,630 g the minimum room volume is 6 m3 unless the room is ventilated.
15The room is 4 m3; with the total charge of 1,345 g the minimum room volume is 5 m3 unless the room is ventilated.
16The room and the adjacent room total 3 m3; with the total charge of 970 g the two rooms together must reach the minimum volume of 4 m3.
17The refrigerant line insulation is 10 mm; the notice requires at least 15 mm for the humidity stated.
18The refrigerant line insulation is 15 mm; the notice requires at least 20 mm for the humidity stated.
19Glass wool is prohibited as refrigerant line insulation.
20The heating circuit holds 22 L; a fan-coil circuit must hold at least 23 L, or a buffer tank is needed on the return.
21The heating flow temperature is 46 C; this emitter type is limited to 45 C.
22The heating flow temperature is 53 C; this emitter type is limited to 52 C.
23The design outdoor temperatures are -21 C minimum and 30 C maximum; the heat pump operates from -20 C to +35 C.
24The design outdoor temperatures are -7 C minimum and 36 C maximum; the heat pump operates from -20 C to +35 C.
25The order has 3 heating circuits; the heat pump manages one or two.
26A second heating circuit needs the two-circuit kit (570,630); it is not in the order.
27A 6 kW electric backup needs the 6 kW backup relay kit (75,327); it is not in the order.
28With the boiler relief kit the electric backup must not be connected; the order has both.
29Summer cooling needs the cooling kit (75,328); it is not in the order.
30Cooling is described for heating-cooling floors or ceilings and fan-coil units, not for radiators.
31Domestic hot water needs both the sanitary kit (73,991) and a mixed sanitary tank; the order has only one of them.
32The condensate tray (74,049) is listed for models 5, 6 and 8, not for model 10.
33The quote states a heating capacity of 6,000 W; the notice gives 5,500 W at the +7 C outdoor condition for this emitter type.
34The quote states a heating capacity of 7,500 W; the notice gives 7,000 W at the +7 C outdoor condition for this emitter type.
35The quote states 45 kg for the outdoor unit and hydraulic module; the catalog weights add up to 84 kg.
36The circuit holds 10 L; the notice recommends at least 15 L per circuit for this emitter type, so a person should confirm the volume or add a buffer tank.
37The circuit holds 11 L; the notice recommends at least 12 L per circuit for this emitter type, so a person should confirm the volume or add a buffer tank.
38A breaker rating or cable section differs from the indicative values in the notice; the installer must check them against the electrical standard before the quote goes out.
39The refrigerant line is 32 m; the maximum, with added charge, is 30 m.
40The quote states a total R32 charge of 970 g; the notice rules give 1,395 g (factory charge plus added charge for the line length).
41The quote states 50 kg for the outdoor unit and hydraulic module; the catalog weights add up to 84 kg.
42The line is longer than the length covered by the factory charge, so 425 g of R32 must be added; the notice requires an approved specialist for this, so a person should confirm it is arranged.

Narration transcript

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for an air-to-water split heat pump: model, outdoor unit and hydraulic module, refrigerant line, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the installation notice rules and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
  3. The agent says. Please quote a model 10 Alfea Extensa A.I. R32 split heat pump. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states a total R32 charge of 1,630 g, a heating capacity of 9,500 W and 100 kg for the outdoor unit and hydraulic module.
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. The room is 5 m3; with the total charge of 1,630 g the minimum room volume is 6 m3 unless the room is ventilated. The condensate tray (74,049) is listed for models 5, 6 and 8, not for model 10. The quote states 100 kg for the outdoor unit and hydraulic module; the catalog weights add up to 107 kg.
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
  7. What this shows: for stated charge, capacity and weight that must match the notice, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
  9. The corrected request. It changes the room volume to 12, the condensate tray to no and the stated weight to 107 kg.
  10. It calls the validator again.
  11. This time the validator clears it.
  12. All three earlier findings are cleared.
  13. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
