Air-to-Water Heat Pump
The principle of an air-to-water heat pump
An air to water heating system consists of an outdoor unit (evaporator with a fan) that moves the air trough aluminium fins ( similar to a car radiator) from which is the heat energy is removed ( absorbed into refrigerant temperature) Refrigerant gas is then compressed and high temperature is exchanged from refrigerant to heating water. The indoor unit, located in the building, ensures the production of heating and hot water.

Key factors influencing savings achieved
The basic three factors affect how much you can expect to save with a heat pump
1. Heat pump lifespan
Heat pump systems must be correctly commissioned according to the heat loss of the building. MasterTherm’s online control system in combination with the latest parts and components from leading manufacturers, installed in a robust and practical design, allows us to offer a 7-year warranty on all parts of the heat pump.
Last but not least, professional assembly by certified professionals, proactive routine maintenance and the availability of spare parts from the European production plan is essential.

2. Coefficient of Performance (COP)
The higher the temperature at the heat pump inlet and the lower the temperature at the heat pump outlet, the higher the efficiency. This is the “holy grail” of all heat pump systems. Domestic hot water heating is therefore usually the least efficient circuit of every heat pump system.
However this doesn’t have to be the case with the use of a Desuperheater.
To increase efficiency, we supply a desuperheater, ie a device integrated in a heat pump, designed for efficient hot water heating. Hot water is heated at high temperature while the compressor is running, as a “by-product” of the building’s heating. DHW tank water temperature often reaches temperatures up to 80 ° C. Domestic hot water tank is therefore sanitised from legionaries bacteria without using any additional heat sources such as immersion.
3. System solution
MasterTherm heat pumps are designed and equipped with hardware and software to work as a complete heating system, not only as a heat source.
There is therefore no need to buy expensive additional components, such as secondary control systems, thermostats, UFH actuators, Etc. Everything you need is included in the price of the equipment, in one functional unit. Reliable installation by accredited installers ensures the system potential is fully realised and optimised on site for the client’s needs and preferences.
