ENERGY EFFICIENT HEATING FOR LOW PRESSURE HOT WATER
Ground Source Heat Pumps utilise heat collector pipework which absorbs energy from beneath ground level. Heat collector pipework is buried within the earth’s strata; either horizontally in relatively shallow excavations, or vertically within circular bore holes.
For both versions, this heat collector pipework is connected to efficient water-to-water heat pump(s), where the absorbed energy is considerably upgraded and transferred to the LPHW circuit. This provides a constant supply of hot water.
HEATING SYSTEM OPTIONS
Both ground and air source equipment can either be installed for sole provision of LPHW heating (known as a Monovalent system), or in conjunction with more traditional heating methods such as boilers, known as a Bivalent system.
A ‘buffer’ tank is often needed to assist with the demands of the hot water system. The LPHW can also be upgraded in temperature, if necessary, by independent heating (by others). Typical LPHW temperatures available from both Ground Source and Air Source Heat Pumps range from 35ºC – 55ºC, although 65ºC can be achieved with Air Source units (under certain conditions).
