INDIVIDUAL HOMES
The set-up is extremely simple. The air to water heat pump can be placed next to the home or on the roof. It provides sustainable heating, cooling and domestic hot water. Heat is extracted from the outside air and heated by the heat pump. Heat is transferred to the water in the home’s heating circuit. The heat pump can control up to two different water temperature zones. This makes it possible to combine underfloor heating with convectors. The heat pump is capable of producing domestic hot water up to 60° to 65°C without using electrical resistance. The hot water is stored in a 250-litre tank. The entire installation is easily to control using a thermostat or the app. The 'Brain' and 'HVAC' modules provide smart control of all system components and a connection to the Cloud.
NEW-BUILD
Newly built houses are very well insulated and equipped with low-temperature heating. Two conditions that make them ideally suited to a heat pump. The heat pump can be placed next to the home or on the roof. The hot water produced is transferred to the heating and the hot water tank. A 250-litre buffer tank provides enough hot water for all domestic applications. The home can be heated with underfloor heating and/or convectors.
Single zone installation
The simplest and most common configuration is the single zone installation. The house has one type of heating system, such as underfloor heating or convectors. However, if required, the temperature of different rooms can still be controlled separately. Switching from heating to cooling applies to the entire zone.
Dual zone installation
If a house is equipped with two types of heating systems (e.g. with underfloor heating on the ground floor and convectors on the upper floor, it has a dual zone installation. This involves a more complex set-up because of the different supply temperatures, but it can offer greater comfort in terms of cooling during hot periods.
RENOVATION
The heat pump also offers a solution for renovations and existing homes. In this case, opting for a heat pump is, more than ever, both an ecologically and economically smart decision. However, this is subject to the condition that a low/medium temperature heating system is already in place and the insulation must meet certain requirements. In this scenario the heat pump can support an existing gas boiler or completely replace it. With a complete replacement, the examples of new buildings apply.
Series installation
In this configuration, the heat pump and gas boiler are installed as a series. The heat pump always preheats the circuit. If the capacity of the heat pump is insufficient, the gas boiler steps in. The smart control regulates the way the heat pump and gas boiler work together. This set-up is more efficient than the parallel set-up due to the heat pump’s continuous operation.
Parallel installation
In this configuration the heat pump is connected in parallel to the existing gas boiler. Either the heat pump or the gas boiler operates at any given time. The smart control calculates when the heat pump or gas boiler kicks in based on efficiency and price. The gas boiler will only provide all the heating during cold periods, resulting in direct cost savings.
