Working principle of water-to-air heat pumps
Water-to-air heat pumps are energy-efficient heating solutions that use the heat energy of the outside air. They work by transferring heat from the outside air to a hydronic heating system, such as underfloor heating or radiators. This process is carried out by the heat pump’s compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion valve.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant, which raises its temperature. The evaporator, in turn, collects heat from the outside air and transfers it to the refrigerant. The condenser releases this heat energy into the water circuit, and the expansion valve reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, returning it to the evaporator. This cycle continues until the desired core temperature is reached.
Energy efficiency and savings
Water-to-air heat pumps are renowned for their energy efficiency. They can produce up to four times more thermal energy than they consume in electricity. This makes them an excellent choice for those who want to reduce their energy costs and lower their carbon footprint.
In addition, water-to-air heat pumps can also serve as cooling devices during the summer months, which increases their versatility. This means that you can use the same system for both heating and cooling, which brings additional savings in the long run.
Installation and maintenance
The installation of water-to-air heat pumps is a relatively simple process, but it requires professional skills. The installation includes the positioning of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit and their connection to the water heating system. It is important that the installation is done correctly so that the system works optimally and safely.
Maintenance is also an important part of using a water-to-air heat pump. Regular maintenance will ensure that the system works efficiently and for a long time. This includes cleaning the filters, checking the refrigerant and assessing the general condition. We offer comprehensive maintenance services, so you can be sure that your system is always working at its best.
Environmental friendliness
Water-to-air heat pumps are an environmentally friendly choice because they use renewable energy. They reduce the use of fossil fuels and thus carbon dioxide emissions. This makes them an excellent choice for those who want to make environmentally friendly choices.
In addition, water-to-air heat pumps do not produce local emissions, which improves air quality. This is particularly important in urban areas where air quality can be poor. So by choosing a water-to-air heat pump, you can do your bit for the environment.
Suitability for different applications
Water-to-air heat pumps are suitable for a wide range of applications, including detached houses, terraced houses and small apartment blocks. They are particularly useful in buildings with water heating systems. This makes them a flexible and versatile heating solution.
