Characteristics of REMKO inverter heat pumps
Outdoor air as a heat source
An air/water heat pump absorbs
energy from the outdoor air as its
heat source and transmits this to
the heating system.
They have the following
advantages over brine/water and
water/water heat pump systems:
Split AC unit
The REMKO
inverter heat pump is
a so called split AC unit. This means
that it consists of an outdoor unit
and an indoor unit, both of which
are connected via refrigerant-
carrying copper pipes. Thus there
are no water-carrying pipes laid
from the indoors to outdoors which
need to be made frost proof.
The outdoor unit contains only the
condenser, the evaporator and the
expansion valve. This means that
the outdoor unit is considerably
smaller.
The indoor module contains
the system's condenser and
the connections for the heating
network.
The heat pump's condenser is
equipped with a requirement-
dependent speed control system.
The power control on conventional
heat pumps provides only two
states, either ON (full output) or
OFF (no output).
The heat pump turns on below a
specified temperature and turns off
when this temperature is reached.
This kind of heat regulation is very
inefficient.
Heat regulation in the REMKO
inverter heat pump is modulated to
the actual need.
The electronics system has an
integrated frequency-converter
which serves to modify the
condenser speed and the speed
of the blower as required.
The condenser works at a higher
speed when under full load
than under partial load. The
lower speeds ensure a longer
operational lifetime for the
components, improved coefficient
of performance and lower noise.
Lower speeds also result in lower
energy consumption (electricity)
and longer service life. I.e.: inverter
heat-pumps will run practically
throughout the heating season.
In all, the highest efficiency
possible.
■
Can be used everywhere
Air is available everywhere
in unlimited quantities. For
example, no wells are required.
■
No excavation required
No large areas are required for
soil collectors.
■
Economical
Expensive drilling is not required.
■
Excellent value for money and
simple installation
■
Particularly suitable for low-
energy houses with low inlet
temperatures
■
Ideal for bivalent operation, in
order to save energy
Thanks to innovative inverter technology, this heat pump will
almost always operate by adapting its heat output to the actual
requirements of the heating season, and will in fact turn itself off
when heat is no longer needed. The same applies in the opposite
direction with cooling.
