Product Name: Air Source Heat Pumps
Product Description
 Air Source Heat Pumps do not incur any civil ground works cost for the
installation and laying of pipe. The cost of civil ground works can be
significant using alternative ground source systems, this is not a consideration
that is required for Air Source Heat Pumps. This makes this option a significant
advantage over Ground Source versions.
Our Air Source Heat Pumps provide an alternative low cost solution for space
heating and hot water. A typical return on investment against Oil and LPG fed
heating systems the return can take as little as 5 years. Air Source Heat Pumps
are also suitable for hot water and comfort cooling applications which provide a
comprehensive solution for both domestic and commercial applications.
Air Source Heat Pumps also provide hot water from a pressurised system up to
temperatures as high as 55°C which is very suitable for all domestic and
business requirements. This will require a tank which is specified to the usage
requirements of the tenants or usage of the building. The larger the tank the
larger the output of water.
In some applications it may be appropriate to couple an Air Source Heat Pump
with traditional heating technology to complement the required outputs. All Eco
Air Source Heat Pumps which are specified against user (domestic & commercial)
requirements do not need any third party boosting system. The outside of a
building is where the Fan intake system (outdoor air handling unit) is fixed
requiring no annual maintenance. The fan is the only moving part of the outdoor
unit which requires no ongoing maintenance.
Air Source Heat Pumps takes energy from the air and raise it to a higher
temperature, using a process which is similar to a reverse refrigeration
process. For commercial and large spaces a row or bank of Air Source Heat Pumps
(Air Handling Units) will be required along with internal Heat Pump and
Pressured Hot Water Tank for ongoing water usage. This is a system which
utilises no external pipes and most of the working elements reside within the
building. The air handling unit draws air across the water-anti freeze solution
and transfers this energy into the refrigerant. The refrigerant boils and the
gases from this are compressed to produce temperatures in excess of 100°C. This
part of the process mirrors a ground source heat pump. Air Source Heat Pumps can
be used in many more applications including large commercial projects where land
space is restricted. Air Sourced Heat Pumps can be used as a complete solution
for room heating using the same distribution system as a ground source heat pump
or a traditional system. Air Sourced Heat Pumps are ideal for very tight spaces
and within an eco architectural design or within the design of a building which
has large internal spaces such as audience halls and public places.
Eco Air Source Heat Pumps are unique as they have no major parts outside exposed
to the elements, which means that the organs compressor and circulation pumps
are all internal. The intake fan is the only feature which is external and kept
at optimum working temperature with the support an internal defrost cycle system
ensuring 365 day operation in all seasons. The internal defrost system uses the
hot water collected by the Air Source heat pump as opposed to direct electric.
These types of systems can last in excess of 20 years. The recommended
maintenance for the outdoor unit is simply to hose it down once a year. In
costal areas this process should be repeated each season. Eco Heat Pumps are the
market leader in the design, supply and installation of Air Source Heat Pumps in
the UK.
