Engineering & Key Features

 

Real EVI Vapor Injection Circuit: Integrates an external brazed plate heat exchanger as an economizer. Sub-cools liquid refrigerant while injecting superheated vapor into the scroll compression chamber, protecting the compressor discharge temperature and preserving full heating output at -7°C.

Full DC Inverter Drive Architecture: Combines a variable-speed inverter compressor, brushless DC fan motor, and an electronic expansion valve (EEV) with 500-step precise flow regulation to match real-time thermal load fluctuations within plus/minus 0.5°C.

Acoustic Suppression Assembly: Double-isolation compressor mounting rubber pads, encapsulated inverter compressor sound-blanket, and CFD-optimized skewed fan blades reduce mechanical vibration and noise emissions below German TRVB residential sound limits.

Smart Grid & Photovoltaic Integration: Standard hardware inputs for SG-Ready (Smart Grid) and PV-Ready contacts, allowing automated load-shifting to consume self-generated solar power or utilize off-peak utility tariffs.

 

Technology & Working Principle

 

The system utilizes a closed-loop vapor-compression refrigeration cycle optimized for cold-climate hydronic applications:

EVI Injection Process: In sub-zero ambient conditions, standard heat pumps suffer from mass flow starvation. The intermediate-pressure injection port feeds compressed vapor directly into the middle of the scroll compression pocket, boosting refrigerant mass flow and lifting condensing enthalpy without overheating the motor windings.

Dynamic Defrosting Logic: Eliminates energy-wasting timed defrost cycles. Dual electronic sensors monitor evaporating coil temperature and ambient relative humidity, initiating reverse-cycle defrost only when frost buildup restricts air passage. Total defrost duration is kept under 4 minutes, minimizing indoor water temperature fluctuation.

 

Applications

 

Underfloor Heating & Fan Coils: Low-temperature water supply (35°C to 41°C) maximizes structural thermal mass efficiency.

Radiator Boiler Replacement: High output temperature capability (65°C for R32; 75°C for R290) permits direct retrofitting into existing cast-iron or steel panel radiator circuits without changing terminal units.

Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Production: Integrates with 3-way diverting valves to supply external DHW tanks, executing weekly Legionella thermal disinfection cycles up to 70°C.

Multi-Unit Cascading: Up to 6 units are managed via master-slave controller architecture to balance operating hours and deliver staged capacity up to 160kW for light commercial buildings.

 

System Solutions & Pre-Engineered Accessories

 

To reduce installation overhead for mechanical contractors, we supply factory-matched hydraulic kits:

Wall-Mounted Indoor Hydrobox: Houses a Grundfos/Wilo high-efficiency PWM circulation pump, an 8L expansion vessel, an automatic air vent, a pressure relief valve, and a staged electric backup heater (3kW / 6kW).

Buffer & DHW Tank Layouts: Factory-vetted piping schematics for dual-buffer configurations (ensuring adequate defrost volume and hydraulic decoupling).

Cascade Control Panel: Centralized touchscreen interface managing weather-compensated heating curves (outdoor reset control) across multi-unit commercial arrays.

ErP Energy Label: A+++ and A++ certificates issued by TÜV Rheinland / SGS.

Keymark & MCS technical documentation packages available for European subsidy alignment.

RoHS & REACH environmental compliance statements.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the lowest ambient temperature for reliable heating?

A: The unit operates down to -25°C outdoor temperature, maintaining a COP greater than 2.0 even under extreme frost conditions.

Q: What is the maximum water output temperature without relying on backup heaters?

A: R32 models deliver up to 60°C water at -10°C ambient; R290 (Propane) models deliver up to 75°C, matching legacy boiler supply temperatures.

Q: How does the unit prevent indoor temperature drops during defrosting?

A: Defrosting utilizes dynamic sensor logic, completing reverse-cycle defrost within 3 to 5 minutes. The indoor hydronic loop temperature is preserved by the system's primary water volume and buffer tank inertia.

Q: What is your standard warranty and spare parts replacement policy?

A: We provide a 3-year warranty on core components (compressor, main inverter board, plate heat exchanger) and a 5-year structural warranty. Critical spare parts are stocked in European logistics centers for 48-hour dispatch.

Q: Are your controllers compatible with third-party Building Management Systems (BMS)?

A: Yes. Standard controllers include an RS485 communication port running Modbus RTU protocol, allowing direct integration into commercial BMS or home automation gateways.
