Air to Water Heat Pumps

Home | Thermea Heat Pumps | Air to Water Heat Pumps

A heat pump is an intricate part of a temperature control system. It plays a crucial role in either cooling or heating up your rooms, according to your requirements. These are especially designed and powered by electricity to ensure heat transfer through refrigerants and keep the comfort factor of your home intact all year round.

An air to water heat pump typically functions in this fashion - it absorbs excess heat from the atmosphere and transfers the heat to water, which in turn is distributed among radiators to provide warmth inside the house. Heat pumps do not run on burning fossil fuels, making it a clean and environment friendly method of temperature regulation.

How does an air to water heat pump work?

The units in air to water heat pumps work in a manner that is similar to air to air heat pumps, but without the usage of the reversing valve.

In this system, a gaseous refrigerant having high pressure and temperature is sent to the plate heat exchanger right from the compressor of the machine. On the other side of the heat exchanger, cool water has been cycled from the storage tank. This cool water enters the heat exchanger, comes in contact with the hot refrigerant, becomes more hot and goes back to the storage tank. This cycle continues until the refrigerant gives away all it's heat, goes through condensation and leaves the heat exchanger.

Once this happens, the hot water tank channels the hot water to the radiators, sinks and faucets within the building to supply hot water and to keep the room temperature warm.

Modern Air to water heat pump Dubai, saves energy and minimizes CO2 emissions. Its integrated hot water heater, immersion heater, circulation pump, and climate system make heat production safe and inexpensive. Heat is transferred from an outside unit to an interior unit using a closed pipe system and refrigerant. Heat transfer requirements are:

An outside device transfers air heat to a coolant
Compressors raise coolant temperature
A heat exchanger transfers heat from the coolant to the hot water reserve tank
Radiators and faucets are heated
Returning cold water to the tank
Transferring coolant from tank to outside unit

What are the advantages of air to water heat pumps?

Lower running costs : Heat pumps run-on electricity and are cheaper than pumps that are based on combustion.

Less maintenance : Heat pumps can run efficiently if proper maintenance is done once a year, unlike combustion heating systems.

Reduces carbon emission : These pumps do not require fuels and help to drastically cut down carbon emission.

Provides cooling : During summers, heat pumps are designed to perform reversible function, thus working like an AC unit.

Long lifespan : The average lifespan of heat pumps is relatively much longer, around 14-15 years.

Better safety : Since heat pumps run on electricity and do not require combustion of any fuel, it makes the operation process a lot safer and easier and reduces safety concerns.

Energy Efficient : Thermea's innovative heat pump and inverter technologies provide the highest level of energy efficiency.

Quiet Operations : Unique innovations, such as inverter-driven compressors and natural convection heat distribution, contribute to Thermea's ease of operation.

Wide variety : The variety of heat pump systems for residential and commercial applications offered by Thermea meets all requirements for the temperature and quantity of hot water.

Integrated Heating and Hot Water : Installation space and costs are drastically reduced when heating and hot water are supplied by a single integrated system.
