SAV SYSTEMS BRINGS AERO HEAT PUMP RANGE TO BRITAIN

SAV Systems is now marketing the innovative range of Aero Heat Pumps in the UK.

 

Manufactured in Germany by the Conergy Group, the Aero range of Air/Water Heat Pumps has established a reputation for high efficiency performance across Europe.

 

Here in Britain the distinctive Aero features in the form of top quality design and construction and high COP’s make a perfect match for SAV’s new LoadTracker concept.

 

LoadTracker utilises EC Power’s XRGl 15 CHP unit in multiples. This rugged machine, with its ultra-reliable Toyota gas-fired engine, has a total efficiency of up to 92%. Used in multiples, it can provide 6 -75kW electricity and 17-150 Kw heating. And there’s no need to export spare electricity to the grid – there is no spare electricity!

 

Using CHP and heat pump technologies in harmony makes it possible to maximise the carbon saving potential of both –providing cheaper, greener electrical power plus full comfort heating and ample hot water. Heat pumps run on electricity, providing a constant electrical demand for the CHP, even at periods when electrical demand is otherwise low. All the energy generated is used.

 

CHP, heat pumps and boilers where necessary can be combined with high efficiency thermal stores to create low carbon solutions for schools, hospital, apartment buildings and a host of other applications across the UK.

Powerful synergy

The synergy between LoadTracker and Aero Heat Pumps is a powerful one.  The range of Air/Water models is comprehensive, with a choice of five units available with heating capacities between 8.9 kW and 29.8 kW and COP’s up to 4.4.

 

Quiet running, high efficiency scroll type compressors, with twin units serving the higher capacity models, offer a broad spectrum of performance, which can be closely matched to the LoadTracker requirements at any hour of the day or night.

 

Even when running in the small hours an Aero Heat Pumps is unlikely to disturb nearby sleepers. At one metre an Aero 20 creates only 60 dB(A) even with both compressors running!

 

For applications where sound is an even more vital consideration, the Aero range includes a totally encapsulated low noise module.

Features

Other Aero features include stainless steel condensers and plate type heat exchangers and a large fin evaporator.

 

Auto defrost by reverse cycle operation is standard and hot gas is also used to protect the condensate tray against icing up.

 

Designed for external location Aero Heat Pumps are housed in rugged weatherproof casings with air intake and outlet louvres optimised for good air flow.

 

Locating the louvres at high level on the Heat Pumps - 2 metres above ground - ensures a supply of slightly warmer air to the heat exchanger. This bonus of 1-2oC contributes to a better COP.

 

The multi-function control unit will serve up to three independent heating circuits and Aero compressors may be remotely controlled.
