Heat Pump

Although not well known and used, the system heat pump makes its power consumption is reduced compared to its performance.
Heat pumps are so called because of the similarity to the pumps used to draw water from wells or reservoirs from one level to another higher. Instead of water, they transport thermal energy from one to another warmer to raise the temperature of room air or water from a reservoir cold spot.
Since this move contradicts the second law of thermodynamics (which states that heat is transferred spontaneously from one to another cooler hot source to equalize, and not the other), to carry out needed to provide energy, in this case electrical.

Between 2 and 5 times more energy than it consumes:
In fact, they were chosen by Greenpeace in 2011 as the best heating system in terms of energy efficiency. This feature is due to its operation and is based on transport instead of generating heat.
However, since no burning fuel to generate heat or through a resistor, the system multiplies the power offered in relation to consuming.
The performance of heat pumps is measured by a figure known as COP or coefficient of performance (coefficient of performance), which is the result of dividing the power supplied between offered. Although the logic states that that number will be maximum cone 1 (1 kilowatt hour electricity is equal to 1 kilowatt thermal hour) depending on the model and environmental conditions, the COP of heat pumps varies between 2 and 5.
Doing the equivalent calculations, the COP of a gas boiler is around 0.9 and an electric radiator, 1.
Since efficiency of a heat pump depends on environmental conditions, especially outside temperature , not all sites will be suitable to use.
The greater the difference between external and internal temperature, the lower efficiency, reduced to half when there was less than 0 degrees.

Advantages

  • High Efficiency: High performance and low power with great performance, COP up to 4.06, various powers available to suit different needs.
  • Immediate and low cost installation: System quick and easy installation in different formats.
  • Hot water and heating: The unit can be used to generate both domestic hot water and heating.
  • Ease of maintenance and use: Minimal maintenance and easy to use system.
  • management and scheduling: Comfort in the management and programming, as well as when extensions or adaptations later.
We have a wide range of heat pumps with different powers, from 10KW to 14KW and monoblock format PSTM10C , PSTM13C or biblock (block + split) PSTS11HC , PSTS14HC.
