What Makes Arctic Heat Pump an Efficient Air Source Heat Pump?

Are you looking for a high-energy efficient air source heat pump for cold climates? If yes, then you should choose no other than Arctic Heat Pump. It’s ideal for both hydronic heating and cooling purposes. This system is perfectly designed to integrate with a solar thermal heating system quickly. It can improve the system’s overall efficiency and operational costs by 20%. A solar thermal system is perfectly combined with an air source heat pump to add an extra 47,000 BTU per day on an average per every solar collector.

However, the Northern Lights solar thermal system features with SunRain solar evacuated tube collectors. They can be able to deliver hot water to the system amidst cold North American winter days. The collectors are engineered with top technology in North America and come with a 10-year warranty. Their efficiency allows the system to absorb and deliver around 80% of the solar energy. 

How does Arctic Heat Pump work? 

SunRain solar vacuum tubes use heat pipe technology that helps in transferring solar energy to the heat bulb. The heat bulb can be able to attain temperatures of 300C. Every solar collector comes with 20 or 30 bulbs, which are inserted into an insulated copper header, a heat exchanger. 

Artic heat pumps

The heat pipes help in transferring heat energy to the copper header and then to the special glycol heating fluid. Every header has the capacity of carrying 2.2 liters or 0.6 gallons of the heating fluid. A temperature sensor is inserted into the header. Another temperature sensor is present at the bottom of the heat pump buffer tank. A differential controller with a heat pump helps in determining both temperatures. 

When the heating fluid in the top of the solar collector goes above the water temperature in the solar tank, the heat pump starts to work, and the energy transfer starts. The heating fluid circulates throughout the large heat exchanger present on the bottom of the tank. After that, the energy is transferred to the storage tank which will be delivered to the remaining part of the home heating system. 

An air-source heat pump is a perfect combination of integrating with a solar system as both systems contain the same glycol heating fluid. Moreover, the hydronic heat pump and solar thermal units use the same principle of energy storage as a thermal mass i.e. buffer tank unlike other air to air heat pumps. 

If you are looking for a system to reduce energy costs, you should consider combining an air source heat pump with a solar thermal system. It will increase the performance and minimize the operational costs to a greater extent.

Heat Pumps in Nova Scotia – The Energy Efficient Heating Solution

Heat pumps are one of the significant examples that determine how far technology has come! Providing energy efficient heating using electricity is truly a tremendous technological advancement! What makes heat pumps in Nova Scotia a better choice to tackle with the cold weather is that these harvests are prevailing heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside without making use of fuels!  Limits of the Heat Pumps – Heat pumps extract heat from the air outside, hence their efficiency is directly proportional to the temperature outdoor which means when there is less heat in the air the heat pumps need to work a bit harder to extract the available heat. Top quality and highly efficient heat pumps can extract heat down to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius and beyond that in some instances. Heat Pump Efficiency – Basically, two efficiency ratings are set by the heat pump industry. The first one is the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) and the second one is t

Understanding Benefits of Radiant Floor Cooling Used by Hydronic Heat Pump

More often, people overlook that a Hydronic Heat Pump is capable of cooling as well as heating. However, most homeowners are very much aware of the benefits of radiant floor heating over centralized forced air heating.  But most homeowners and also builders don’t know that radiant floor cooling is possible and can be affordable especially for those building a home with a Hydronic air to water heat pump. Please keep in mind that, radiant cooling process is quiet, efficient and completely dust free. This is the main reason why this method has been used in Europe over decades.  More importantly, there’s a research done by Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory in California, the USA. The studies estimate that the energy savings by radiant floor cooling is over 30% than the traditional forced air cooling.  The Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating  Most people have a misconception that they can’t cool a slab. It’s due to the fact that a slab will condensate which will leave

Why Do You Buy an EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump?

Image
Are you looking for highly-efficient heat pumps? If yes, then you should look no further than an EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump . EVI stands for “Enhanced Vapor Injection” – a technology used on cold climate heat pumps to provide superior performance at lower temperatures.    Generally, heat pumps use a single or a dual-speed compressor which means it is either off or on. Arctic EVI DC Inverter Heat Pump uses the industry-standard compressor, a variable-speed DC Panasonic EVI compressor. The DC motor operates at the exact speed which it requires to achieve optimal efficiency.  This way, the heat pump achieves over 30% more efficiency on an average than a standard heat pump system. It is very important as the compressor consumes bulk amount of energy requirements for a heat pump.  The decrease in compressor energy results in significant increase in the COP – Co-efficiency of Performance. The heat pump system has brushless DC fan motor and PFC control; so it doesn’t require a
