Daikin Altherma Split Air Source Heat Pump
the energy efficient home heating system
Daikin Altherma is a highly flexible, energy efficient home heating system that extracts the heat from the outside air, raises this heat to a higher temperature and then distributes warmth around the home. At the heart of the system lies an air to water heat pump. Because of this advanced technology, three quarters of the heat generated by the Daikin Altherma system is from a renewable energy source, the air around us, and therefore absolutely free of charge! The Daikin Altherma air to water heat pump is todays answer to the current and future problems associated with conventional heating systems, such as, increasing primary energy costs and an unacceptably high environmental impact.
LESS ENERGY, PLEASANT WARMTH IN THE HOME Daikin Altherma operates 3 to 5 times more efficiently than a traditional heating system based on fossil fuels or electricity. By making use of the heat in the outside air, you use far less energy while still enjoying a stable and pleasant level of comfort. Also, maintenance requirements are minimal ensuring low running costs. Thanks to the inverter technology and in-built weather compensation control Daikin Altherma uses; energy savings are even greater than most other heat pump systems.

NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
House building technology has taken giant leaps forward. Insulation techniques have improved drastically. For new and recently refurbished houses and flats Altherma provides the latest heat pump boiler technology to save you money.
WITH ENERGY PRICES SOARING
People are becoming more and more aware of the cost of heating. Traditional heating systems and boilers use fossil fuels, making them an expensive and not sustainable option for the environment. Nobody wants to waste their money. Since two thirds of the heat generated by the Altherma air source heat pump system is free of charge and maintenance is minimal, the perfect solution is just around the corner.
SO IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
It is no surprise that people throughout Europe are becoming aware of new heating technology. In less than a decade practically all properly insulated homes from Italy to Norway will be heated with heat pump boilers. Millions of pumps have already been installed. So WHY WAIT?

66 TO 80% free OF CHARGE

A heat pump boiler works much more efficiently and saves more energy than a traditional heating system based on fossil fuels. With Altherma, 1 kW of electricity consumption generates 3kW to 5 kW of free heat. Thats an investment that pays.

Running Cost:

Conditions : Annual heating energy required: kWh Source : Energy prices based on EUROSTAT statistics (first semester 2007).

Fuel Boiler 100%

Gas Boiler 82%

PER (Primary Energy Ratio)
Is the relation between the useful energy output and the primary energy input, taking into account for losses related to the electricity generation efficiency and electricity distribution.
Primary energy EFFICIENCY
Conditions: For combustion systems PER equals overall efficiency of the system, whereas for heat pumps it is equal to the seasonal performance factor multiplied by the electricity generation efficiency for which EU average is 0,4.
MEANWHILE HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY ITSELF HAS MATURED
Altherma, which extracts and converts an increased natural heat from the ambient air to your home, is the perfect example. The Altherma heat pump boiler satisfies your heating requirements but it can also supply your domestic hot water. For hot summer days, as an option, Altherma can also give you cooling. It is an all-in-one, all year round heating and cooling solution.

Did you know that

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?

Altherma

At the glance

the Altherma system can be perfectly combined with solar collectors via a solar kit to produce hot water. The sun provides 30 to 70% of the energy required for our hot water needs. Altherma, your total solution, thinks of the future.
Ambient warmth, thanks to a unique heat pump boiler system

Warm in just 1, 2, 3

Althermas air-to-water heat pump boiler quickly creates an optimal room temperature for you and your family. You enjoy a comfortably warm environment in just 3 steps: 1. The heat pump extracts free low temperature heat from the outside air. 2. The system raises the temperature of the recovered heat. 3. This greater warmth is then distributed throughout your home via heating emitters.
STAY WARM EVEN in the coldest winter days
On extremely cold days it is virtually impossible to keep you warm with free thermal energy from the outside air only. The Altherma system has taken care of that. For houses located in extreme climates with occasional or frequent freezing days, Altherma comes with an electric back-up heater inside the hydrobox. Even on the coldest day you can still have the heat pump boiler cover 60% of your requirements; the back up heater will take care of your remaining heating demand. Altherma guarantees you are never left out in the cold and, on an annual basis, the heat pump itself will still supply 90 to 95% of your heating requirements!

the solution for your total comfort
1/ Outdoor Unit : an efficient use of energy from the air
Altherma uses a natural source of energy. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air and raises its temperature to a level high enough to supply heating. This heat is then transferred to the indoor unit through refrigerant pipes (thus, the additional advantage is that the pipes can never freeze). The compact outdoor unit is easily installed and, as no drilling or excavation work is required, it can also be installed in flats and apartments.
3/ Domestic hot water tank : for low energy consumption
As for your domestic hot water, Altherma is just as clever. The unique lay-out and special placement of the system components maximise energy efficiency. The water inside the storage tank is primarily warmed up by thermal energy from the outside air, thanks to a heat exchanger connected to the heat pump. However, an additional electrical heating element in the domestic water tank can take care of extra heat required in the shower, tub or sink. At necessary intervals the water is automatically heated to 70C to prevent the risk of bacteria growth. With Altherma you can enjoy delightfully warm and perfectly safe water at all times. Depending on the daily consumption of hot water, Altherma domestic hot water tanks are available in three different sizes.
2/ Indoor unit : the heart of the Altherma system
The indoor unit heats the water that circulates through low temperature radiators, floor heating systems or fan coil units and also provides domestic hot water. If you opt for the combination of heating and cooling, then the indoor unit can also decrease the water temperature to distribute a refreshing coolness.

The operation of the system is integrated in the indoor unit. With Altherma, it is possible to regulate your heating and (optional) cooling system according to your needs. Your Daikin installer can set up a full weekly programme for you, per hour or per day. In this way, the temperature is reduced automatically at night or during your holiday, but will be pleasantly warm when you get up or return home. The floating setpoint is a built-in variable thermostat that adjusts the water temperature to the outdoor temperature. By keeping the water temperature at the lowest possible level, maximum efficiency of the system is achieved. The system can be combined with additional temperature regulating systems with separate thermostats for every single room. 5

Basics of

1/ Whats the magic behind heat pumps?
It all starts with the sun. The sun warms up our atmosphere and the outer layer of the earths crust. In one year the energy sent to the earth by the sun is 50 times higher than the total consumption of energy on our planet. This makes the sun a vast and inexhaustible source of energy. On sunny days you can feel the thermal energy from the sun on your skin. But actually, there is always lots of thermal energy in the air, even on cold winter days or even at night. And not only in Florida or the south of Spain, but also in countries like Sweden or Norway where thousands of houses have already heat pumps.

heat pump

2/ How do they work?
In nature, thermal energy travels from a higher to a lower level, from warm objects to colder ones. Simple: place a cup of coffee on your terrace table and it will cool down until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding air. A heat pump does the opposite. It is a system that pumps thermal energy from a lower to a higher level. Same happens with water. Water naturally runs from higher to lower places, but it can be pumped in the opposite direction.
Heat pumps take thermal energy from the atmosphere, or from water (rivers, lakes,) or from the ground. With Altherma energy is extracted from the outside air which is cheaper and easier than the other alternatives. In order to take energy from the air the heat pump needs a bit of energy to start with: Altherma requires only 1 kilowatt of electricity to pump 3 to 5 kilowatt of heat into your home. In other words, 66 to 80% of the heat produced by Altherma comes from the outside air and is free of charge.
3/ Why do heat pumps contribute to low CO2 emissions?
Heat pumps emissions are considerably lower than those of conventional heating systems. Because heat pumps consume little energy, CO2 emissions are reduced too since these are restricted to the electricity the pumps need.
4/ so why do people hesitate?
In spite of these undeniable benefits, heat pumps remain a mystery for many people. The concept of heat transfer from a cold source to a cold interior might not be intuitive to everybody at a first glance. But theres nothing mysterious about heat pumps.
6/ What is a REFRIGERANT and what is its role?
This refrigerant is a special liquid that evaporates at a lower temperature than the temperature of the outside air. Copper coils bring the outside air into contact with the refrigerant, which absorbs thermal energy from the air. This is the first heat exchange. The refrigerant then evaporates and as you know, extracts heat. If you lick your finger and blow on the wet spot, the saliva dries up and your skin turns cold. What you feel is heat being extracted from the underlying tissues of your finger

5/ Where does it all start?
A heat pump only needs a heat source (the outside air), two heat exchangers (one to absorb and another one to release heat) and a relatively small amount of drive energy to keep the system going. A heat pump extracts thermal energy from the environment. In the case of Altherma the source is the outside air. The pump extracts the energy at a certain temperature, increases that temperature and then releases it into a medium which in Altherma system is the water running to your low temperature radiators, under floor heating system or fan coil units. Between those two media the heat is moved by means of a refrigerant.
7/ Compressor the essence of heat pumps
As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator and extracts heat from the air, it turns into a gas. This is where the compressor comes up. When you compress a gas, the heat energy in the gas is concentrated together with the molecules and as a result, the temperature rises. If you inflate the tyre of your bicycle, you can feel the air inside warming up through the rubber. In a heat pump compressor, the temperature rises far above the original temperature of the source (outside air in the case of Altherma). Inside your house the second heat exchange takes place when the compressed gas enters the condenser, a surface which is colder than the gas itself. Finally, the gas condenses and releases heat the heat that warms up your house. Condensing means that the gas turns into a fluid again. It passes through an expansion valve, resumes its original pressure and the whole process can start all over.

WE ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY ENVIRONMENT-MINDED
Traditional heating systems that rely heavily on fossil fuels are increasingly coming under scrutiny due to the battle against CO2-emissions. Stricter European standards regarding heating economy are becoming more relevant. Since two thirds of the heat generated by the Altherma system is from a renewable source, (the air), this modern technology will satisfy the needs to reduce CO2 emissions and makes Altherma the right choice for new boiler installation.

LESS CO2 EMISSIONS

You can personally contribute to a better environment as Altherma emits no direct CO2. The pump needs power but even without access to renewable electricity, the Altherma system emits far less CO2 than fossil fuel boilers. You can personally contribute to a better environment as Altherma emits no direct CO2.
