DeLonghi Air to Water Heat Pumps

Certainly available everywhere, even when water or earth is unusable, air can provide a key element in both heating and cooling of homes. New generation hot water heat pumps allow us to use air to heat even when it is found at very low temperatures, guaranteeing nonetheless a very high-energy yield from the system.

How do they work?

Climaveneta by Delonghi air to water heat pumps use the heat of the external air and transfer it to the house. The external air is cooled by passing over a finned heat exchanger. Thus heat is extracted from the evaporator of the heat pump. Delonghi designs a complete range of air heat pumps with different sizes and characteristics, (6-60kW). These consistently achieve high efficiencies as they are specifically designed to heat in a cold environment as opposed to most air to air heat pumps or other air to water heat pumps that are designed to cool in a hot environment.

With full floating (variable pump & fan) technology, these systems have a high coefficient of performance even when there is a very low outside temperature (down to -15 degrees). The initial capital cost can be higher than for other conventional heating sources, but the source of the heat, the “air”, has no cost. The cost to the environment is also lessened because there is no burning of fossil fuels.

The heat pumps are very compact in size and be fitted in any place. They can be used for heating purposes, as well as for the production of domestic hot water, or for both functions at the same time.
