Air Source Heat Pump Desuperheater

Heat pumps reduce hot water costs through a component called a desuperheater.

Air source heat pump desuperheater.

In this study an extensive analysis of a desuperheater des applied in a combined solar and air source heat pump ashp system for a residential low heating energy building 45 kw h m 2 a is carried out using the climatic conditions of graz. While most geothermal heat pump manufacturers have this as an add on all of our residential heat pumps come with a desuperheater included for domestic hot water preheating even our air source heat pumps. While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room a stand alone air source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it at a higher temperature into a tank to heat water. Geothermal systems make hot water in both heating mode and air conditioning mode.

The combined system costs about 25 more than a standard heat pump of similar size and the simple payback on the additional cost in areas where natural gas is not available. To move the heat heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse. The hot water generating component of a geothermal system is called a desuperheater. For use with third party non nordic split air source heat pumps.

The rcc can also be equipped with a refrigeration heat reclaimer which is similar to the common desuperheater coil found on the high end heat pumps and air conditioners. Heats water by acting as a desuperheater while the heat pump is running in heating mode for space heating purposes. You can purchase a stand alone heat.
