1 - daikin ALTHERMA Split type Air-to-water HEAT PUMP

THE OUTDOOR UNIT

Compact, weather-resistant and easy to install Contains an inverter controlled compressor for energy efficiency and precise temperature regulation Heat pump operation range: heating and domestic hot water to -4F outside temperature
HEAT EXCHANGER ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENT
As standard, the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit is provided with an anti-corrosion treatment. This treatment guarantees and noticeably increases the resistance against acid rain and salt corrosion.
Typical Daikin heat exchanger Hydrophilic layer Aluminium Corrosion-resistant acrylate resin
SUPER PERFORMANCE THANKS TO THE INVERTER PRINCIPLe
The coefficient of performance (COP) of the Daikin Altherma heat pump is also largely attributable to the Daikin inverter principle. An integrated frequencyconverter adjusts the rotational speed of the compressor to suit the heating demand. Therefore, the system seldom operates at full capacity and your customer only pays for the energy which they actually need.

Heating operation:

Temperature / Power input Temperature remains stable System without Inverter System with Inverter Time

Slow start Set temp.

HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSORS:
The scroll-compressors provided are designed as a compact, robust, low-noise device to guarantee optimal operational reliability (no valves and built-in swing-link coupling) and efficiency (through a low initial flow and a constant compression ratio).

TECHNICALLY

EXTRA POSSIBILITIES THANKS TO THE Indoor unit
Heating and Cooling If you choose Daikin Altherma with an indoor unit EKHBX, it can not only heat the house, but also cool it. The heat pump is then equipped with a reversible 4-way valve, whereby the refrigeration cycle is reversed and heat is removed from the rooms. The indoor unit can cool rooms via under floor cooling or fan coil units.

3 - THE domestic HOT WATER TANK
Available in 2 capacities: 50 and 80 gallons for floor mounted installation.
Stainless steel design. 1 37/64 cfc-free insulation material (polyurethane). Contains 2 heating elements: a heat exchanger at the bottom where the hot water from the hydrobox circulates and an extra 3 kW electric heater at the top. A thermistor in the hot water tank controls a 3-way valve and/or booster heater via the hydrobox.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL HOT WATER TANK
>> Stainless steel Daikin offers a tank made of stainless steel equipped with a sacrificial rod to protect the tank against corrosion. >> Anti-bacteria function To prevent the development of bacteria, the hot water tank is equipped with an anti-bacteria function. You can set up the program so the water is heated to a specific temperature (standard setting = 158F) at a set time on one or more days of the week. >> Flexible control It is possible to set priority setting for the production of domestic hot water. In this way the customer has domestic hot water available at any time of the day. The heating of the domestic hot water can also be set up according to the night tarif. Another opportunity for rational energy consumption.
>> Regulating switch-on and shut-off temperatures You personally set the minimum and maximum temperature when the water in the tank must be heated by the heat pump for the customer. >> Delaying booster heater switch-off To prevent the booster heater from switching on and off too often, you can allow the system to switch off as soon as the temperature reaches a maximum of 39F higher than the set temperature. >> Allowing back-up heater and booster heater to work separately Programming the system to prevent the simultaneous operation of the back-up heater and the booster heater is also possible. An interesting possibility for homes with a limited current amp load! No natural gas or fuel oil connection or exhaust fume channel required.

Your customers with a solar boiler can enjoy wonderful hot water at any time, even when the sun is not shining? An integrated re-heater is included in the system to help the sun on cloudy days.

4 - SOLAR KIT

SOLAR Thermal BOILER
Averaged over an entire year, the sun delivers half of the energy we need to bring our domestic water up to the desired temperature for free. Your customer can use this solar energy by connecting a solar boiler to the Daikin Altherma system. A solar boiler is a thermal solar-energy system, whereby solar rays are transformed into heat. The heat is then stored in a water supply tank.

Did you know that
Daikin has set up a number of monitoring sites (in Europe, Oregon, New Hampshire, Alaska,.), where Daikin Altherma has been tested under totally different climate conditions. High satisfaction has been achieved with increased comfort, stable indoor temperature, low energy consumption and hot water always available. whatever the weather conditions at the monitoring site. 17

UNIQUE BENEFITS

Control customized to your customer The water temperature changes in function with the outside temperature so that your customer can enjoy a stable level of heating at any time. As the installer, you set up the system according to the desires of your customer. You input four temperatures to determine the heating curve and in doing so, you perfectly tune the Daikin Altherma system to the type of home. Automatic re-start after power interruption In the event of a power interruption of up to two hours, the system automatically resumes with the previously set parameters. Quiet operation The outdoor unit makes hardly any noise thereby leaving your customers (and the neighbors) peace and quiet undisturbed. You can even set the outdoor unit to produce 10dB(A) less noise during the night. Electric back-up heating Every Daikin Altherma system is equipped with a backup heater (heating capacity of 3 or 6 kW). This unit can be used for supplemental heating during extremely cold outdoor temperatures or as a back-up in case of any problems with the outdoor unit. Your customer can then enjoy comfortable heating at any moment. The operation of the back-up heater can be coupled to the outside temperature. The back-up heater will then only operate when outside temperatures are extremely low.

with a Daikin Altherma heat pump, the temperature of the domestic water can go up to 185F, the temperature of the hot water for heating ranges between 59F and 131F and the temperature of the cold water for cooling between 41F and 72F. 18

4.ECONOMICALLY

Customers today are, more than ever, conscious of the cost of heating. There is not only the increasing cost of fuel oil and natural gas, but also the limited supply of fossil fuels and the problem of CO2 emissions. Energy efficient heating solutions are gaining in popularity. Daikin Altherma debuted in Europe in 2006 and since then has demonstrated significant economical advantages over traditional systems as highlighted on the following graphics.
1. 66 To 80% Additional Heat
A heat pump boiler works more efficiently and saves more energy than a traditional heating system using fossil fuel. Daikin Altherma generates at least 3 to 5 kW of additional heat per 1kW of electricity used. Talk about a good investment.
2. PER (primary energy ratio)
This is the relationship between the useable energy generated and the primary energy consumed, with consideration for the electricity production efficiency and the electricity distribution.

OPERATING COSTS:

Conditions: Required annual heating energy: 20,000 kWh. Source: Energy prices based on EUROSTAT statistics [first semester 2007].
LOW PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Conditions : For combustion systems, the PER indicates the overall efficiency of the system, while for heat pumps it is equal to the seasonal performance factor multiplied by the electricity production efficiency which on average is 0.4 in the European Union.

100% 68% 82%

Daikin Altherma air / water heat pump boiler Gas boiler Fuel oil boiler
A small amount of ventilation in highly insulated houses provides for a healthy interior environment. The principle is simple: fresh air enters and contaminated air is removed. In total, there are 4 ways in which air can be introduced and removed. But there is only one that is energy efficient, and that is ventilation with heat recovery. A maximum amount of energy is recuperated from the contaminated air and transferred to the fresh air. By equipping the home with a ventilation system that includes heat recuperation, the heating requirement decreases and the quality of the home increases.

LOWER CO2 EMISSIONS

Daikin Altherma produces no direct CO2 emissions, so you personally contribute to a better environment. The system does use electricity, but even without renewable electricity the CO2 emissions are still much lower than boilers that use fossil fuels. 19

DAIKIN ALTHERMA DELIVERS DESIRED FOOTPRINT. BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY

The Challenge

Oregon locals embarking upon building the most sustainable energy efficient home possible, wanted a heating solution worthy of their green vision.
Portland, Oregon consistently ranks among Americas greenest cities. In fact, a recent Popular Science magazine study rated it the countrys greenest city. So when Dawn Bauman and Wendy Broussard set out in February 2007 to build a home in Portlands Collins View neighborhood, their quest to make it as sustainable, energy efficient, and eco-friendly as possible wasnt out of the ordinary. However, one eco-friendly aspect of the home would turn out to be unique so unique in fact, the homeowners have only halfjokingly considered putting a guest book in their mechanical room. Bauman and Broussard ended up with the first installation of the Daikin Altherma system in the U.S. and a tremendously eco-friendly heating and hot water supply solution resulting in multiple tours of the homes mechanical room. We are strong believers that living on this planet is a privilege and we need to be good stewards of it. Although we all have footprints we leave behind we decided ours could be just footprints and not dents left on the environment, Bauman said.

Daikins Solution

The first U.S. installation of Daikin Altherma - a domestic heating and hot water solution providing outstanding performance even during the coldest months.
Application: Residential Location: Portland, Oregon USA
The Bauman-Broussard home, which received a LEED Platinum rating, is the site of the first installation of Daikin Altherma in North America.
MANY DEMANDS, FEW SOLUTIONS
Bauman and Broussard began the project in winter 2007 by interviewing several architectural firms, focusing on ones with green building expertise. They selected Constructive Form Architecture and Design, LLC, a young/start-up firm whose members have environmentally supportive design experience throughout the U.S. and Europe. Brent Hinrichs, architect with Constructive Form, explained the homeowners were intent on selecting as many green options as made sense for them. This involved extensive research and discussions since the design intent was to use a minimal amount of energy and the most efficient (though not cost prohibitive) systems available, in conjunction with reducing the overall electric and heating loads for the project as a starting point, Hinrichs said. The air-to-water heat pump was the preferred option.otherwise we would have been looking at a solar thermal preheat for a modulating electric boiler system given the goal of eliminating fossil fuel, he recalled. Hinrichs and his Constructive Form co-owners, Simone Goldfeder, designer, LEED AP and Kina Voelz, architect, LEED AP, discovered none of the North American air-towater heat pump systems under
development were available at the time. They also learned the other existing systems had lower efficiencies especially at winter temperatures.
was specified. Daikin was very responsive and engaged in identifying potential test sites for the Daikin Altherma system in North America, Hinrichs recalled.

A NORTH AMERICAN FIRST
Daikin has more than 50 years of experience with heat pumps and provides more than a million of them to homes and commercial applications each year, so while Daikin Altherma was new to North America,
Thus, they contacted every international manufacturer they could find via the Internet, and found Daikin Altherma was an all-electric system with a variable speed inverter compressor providing a high coefficient of performance while delivering the sought after combined/ integrated hydronic and domestic hot water functionality. The Daikin Altherma system consists of 2 main They worked with components (outdoor unit and hydrobox) that can the local Daikin AC also be combined with optional accessories such office and when Daikin as a water tank and solar thermal kit to ensure officials approved the ideal water temperature. home as an introductory test-site for the everyone involved in the project continental U.S., Daikin Altherma confirmed that a proven history of

performance and efficiency was the most important aspect of its selection for the job. Broussard and Bauman were fairly active in the design of the home, and at one point seriously considered using only a wood stove for heating. But they didnt warm to the idea of starting a fire each morning for warmth. We knew we wanted in-floor radiant heating but we never really had to pursue other brands of systems, thanks to the guidance from our architect/design firm, Bauman said. Construction started in May 2008. The HVAC contractor selected for the job, Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning, is the Portland areas largest Daikin Network Alliance (DNA) partner and had extensive experience with other Daikin products. The radiant heating system, which has four zones and runs throughout the 1.5-story, 1,820 square-foot home, was one of the first aspects of the mechanical system to be installed. Brian Erdahl, lead technician at Jacobs, explained all of the radiant floor tubing was run to the remote manifolds in the walls and some panel radiators were oversized, so they could match the BTUs needed with 120F water. Next, the contractor ran supply and return feed lines to the mechanical room to supply the radiant floor and panel heaters in four separate zones. After the plumber installed the
plumbing lines and everything was roughed in, the Daikin Altherma outdoor unit and the Hydrobox (Daikins indoor unit containing the refrigerant/water heat exchanger) were set for installation. A heat recovery ventilator was also installed to control the fresh air entering the house and works hand in hand with Daikin Altherma for outstanding efficiency and air quality. While there were some European-to-U.S. voltage and metric-to-standard conversion challenges, they were all overcome fairly quickly and easily. Additionally, Jacobs had to work with the city of Portland
for approval of the unit since there was an ETL listing, but no applicable AHRI testing and rating program. But, Erdahl said the city officials were more than happy to let a system this efficient go into a home in the Portland area and they were great to work with.

EFFICIENCY UNDER CONTROL

Daikin Altherma provides the ability to intricately monitor and manipulate system performance, and features an automatic control system adjusting the systems operation to varying ambient conditions. It can basically be tuned to suit the homeowners exacting requirements, and also
FLEXIBILITY IS EVERYTHING

Daikin Altherma is flexible enough to be applied in many types installations new or retrofit. Daikin Altherma can be connected to:
standard low temperature radiators under- floor heating fan coil units

features an automatic re-start feature in the event of a power interruption. Additionally Daikin Altherma system can be equipped with a back-up heater (in a refurbishment type application, Daikin Altherma can reuse an existing boiler installation) that can be used for supplemental heating during extremely cold outdoor temperatures or as a backup to the outdoor unit. The homes control system was set up so the thermostat calls for heat, opens the valve, and turns the circulation pump on, but the pump will only run when necessary. Thus, the
homeowners are not paying for the pump to check water temperatures when they are in the nonheating season. Another benefit offered by Daikin Altherma is that it operates extremely quietly as low as 49 dB(A) and can even be set to produce 10dB(A) less noise during the night. In addition to Daikin Altherma, and a host of other eco-friendly initiatives such as installation of a 2.4 kW solar photovoltaic system enhanced energy savings considerably. The homeowners are actually selling power back to the grid, and providing all of their domestic hot water with the use of Daikin Altherma via the solar photovoltaic panel array. The house was also preplumbed for future solar thermal inputs and there is a potential for using a reverse-cycle to provide chilled water for partial tempering of the floor during cooling season. Efforts like this earned the home which was completed in February 2009 Platinum certification under the United States Green Building Councils LEED for Homes Pilot Program. And while that certification certainly hinged on several components, Daikin Altherma
played an instrumental role. Bauman and Broussard have been surprised at the number of people who have asked them where they can get the Daikin Altherma system in the U.S. However, they say the best surprise is the efficiency. Our electric bill is amazingly low for the size of the house and the fact that the entire house runs on electricity alone.
