Monovalent ground source heat pump
Lämpöässä ground source heat pumps are monovalent, which means that all DHW and water for central heating is produced without the aid of an electrical immersion system. Even when the weather is very cold (for example, in Finland temperatures can drop to -35°C in winter), DHW can still be produced and underfloor heating and radiators can still be used.
Lämpöässä monovalent pumps are designed in such a manner so that the size of the unit is optimised. The integrated storage tank is the largest on the market and the compressor output is higher than that of the bivalent pump (which uses an electrical immersion system), which means that the same amount of energy is produced within a shorter timescale and that the compressor service life is longer.
The monovalent ground source heat pump is both environmentally friendly and kind to your wallet.
Superheat technology for DHW
We operate on the basis that DHW should only be produced using the compressor - therefore
without an electrical immersion system. This can be achieved with superheat technology. DHW is produced in a superheat storage tank in two stages. A DHW coil inside the tank is pre-heated in the lower part of the tank prior to being heated for the final time in the upper part of the tank.
Superheat technology comprises a heat exchanger located just beyond the compressor.
