Air Source Heat Pump Desuperheater

Reverse cycle bypass valve makes ifm inactive in cooling mode.

Air source heat pump desuperheater. The hot water generating component of a geothermal system is called a desuperheater. The combined system costs about 25 more than a standard heat pump of similar size and the simple payback on the additional cost in areas where natural gas is not available. You can purchase a stand alone heat. Heats water by acting as a desuperheater while the heat pump is running in heating mode for space heating purposes.

While most geothermal heat pump manufacturers have this as an add on all of our residential heat pumps come with a desuperheater included for domestic hot water preheating even our air source heat pumps. The heat pump system uses r410a as refrigerant and has a heating capacity of 4 9 kw a 12w35. Geothermal systems make hot water in both heating mode and air conditioning mode. In this study an extensive analysis of a desuperheater des applied in a combined solar and air source heat pump ashp system for a residential low heating energy building 45 kw h m 2 a is carried out using the climatic conditions of graz.

To move the heat heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse. The rcc can also be equipped with a refrigeration heat reclaimer which is similar to the common desuperheater coil found on the high end heat pumps and air conditioners. While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room a stand alone air source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it at a higher temperature into a tank to heat water.
