Air Conditioning from All Seasons Climate Control
The Energy Efficient Heating System – as seen on the BBC’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” |
 |
Altherma is a highly flexible, energy efficient heating system, extracting heat from the outside air, raising heat to a higher temperature and distributing warmth around the home through high quality heating units. At the heart of the system lies an air to water heat pump.
How It Works?
Daikin Altherma is a unique system that heats, produces domestic hot water and offers maximum comfort the whole year round.
Heat pumps work on a well established principle known as vapour compression or refrigerant cycle. They work in much the same way as the common refrigerator, a technology already used in every household, but in reverse. The air to water heat pump from Daikin extracts renewable heat from the outside air. The system consists of a closed circuit containing a refrigerant.
A thermodynamic cycle is created through evaporation, condensation, compression and expansion. A heat pump 'pumps' heat from a low to a high temperature level. The heat is then transferred via a heat exchanger to the hot water heating system (under floor heating, radiators or fan convectors), and to the hot water cylinder in the home. For every 1kW of electrical input Daikin Altherma will deliver between 3 to 5kW of usable heat.
