Heat Pumps
Based in Sweeden, Nibe are one of Europes largest heat pump manufacturers.
Heat Pumps use the energy stored in the environment and transfer it to your home for use as heating water and domestic hot water.
Heat pumps have outputs ranging from 5Kw to 360Kw
There are three main types of Heat Pump available:
- Ground source heat pumps
- Outdoor air heat pumps
- Exhaust air heat pumps
They are all ideal for running low temperature heating systems ie underfloor heating, but they can still be used to power conventional radiator systems In addition, the heat pumps can easily produce domestic hot water.
Ground source heat pumps are perhaps the most well known. Heat is collected from either a buried ground loop or a borehole. The size of ground loop or the number of boreholes is dependent on the heat pump size and the heat requirement of the building.
Outdoor air heat pumps can be used when it is not practical to install a ground source heat pump.
This converts the energy of the outside air into heat and creates a comfortable temperature inside the house.
Although none of the outside air heat pumps that are available on the market, can cover the heating requirements all year round, this type of heat pump does offer economic benefits. If the outside temperature drops to around minus fifteen degrees centigrade, then the energy content of the cold air becomes so small that the heat pump cannot provide further economic advantages. Therefore, a complementary oil-fired or electric boiler must be integrated. In general the economic benefits of an outside air heat pump depend on the local climatic conditions.
Exhaust air heat pumps use heat recovery to utilise otherwise wasted heat energy through ventiliation.This system is really an integrated ventilation system which produces a very healthy atmosphere inside the building whilst utilising heat energy that would otherwise be lost.
