Air Source Heat Pump Desuperheater

Heat pumps reduce hot water costs through a component called a desuperheater.

Air source heat pump desuperheater.

The heat pump system uses r410a as refrigerant and has a heating capacity of 4 9 kw a 12w35. While most geothermal heat pump manufacturers have this as an add on all of our residential heat pumps come with a desuperheater included for domestic hot water preheating even our air source heat pumps. The hot water generating component of a geothermal system is called a desuperheater. It is merely a pump and a heat exchanger that is plumbed in such a way so as to carry the waste heat away from the refrigeration cycle and into your water heater.

Reverse cycle bypass valve makes ifm inactive in cooling mode. Heats water by acting as a desuperheater while the heat pump is running in heating mode for space heating purposes. The combined system costs about 25 more than a standard heat pump of similar size and the simple payback on the additional cost in areas where natural gas is not available. To move the heat heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse.

For use with third party non nordic split air source heat pumps. The rcc can also be equipped with a refrigeration heat reclaimer which is similar to the common desuperheater coil found on the high end heat pumps and air conditioners. While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room a stand alone air source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it at a higher temperature into a tank to heat water.
