Each units is supported by a comprehensive installation manual (available for download). The installation manuals are designed to support installers, and therefore there a certain level of plumbing and installation knowledge is presumed as with most manuals for all technologies. However we are happy to provide additional information should anything not covered be required.
The information provided for installers is based on the assumption that a reasonable level of basic plumbing knowledge is understood. All diagrams and installation schematics are for reference purposes, and will need to be reassessed by the installer. The installation schematics for Air Source Heat Pumps provided on the Eco Airpump Knowledgebase section are intended to offer installers with advise to complete a successful Renewable Energy Installation. There are many applications for the Air Source Heat Pumps due to the ease of installation, and flexibility of location.
Heat pumps are frequently integrated with other renewable energies and existing heat sources. The examples provided are only a sample of popular set ups. When installed sensibly, there is no doubt that Air Source Heat Pumps are capable of providing greater fuel economy than conventional boilers.
Typically our domestic air source heat pumps have the temperature set at a default of 58 degrees centigrade. However this can be reset up to 60 degrees centigrade where higher temperatures are required. Reasons for targeting higher temperatures include:
Our range of recommended cylinders are matched to the Eco Airpump units. The correct selection of cylinder is as important as the correct selection of heat pump. Heat Pump specific cylinders will vastly outperform even a standard solar twin coil, as they have integrated specific heat exchange which ensure that heat transfer from the Eco Airpump is maximised. We recommend a number of cylinder suppliers for standard sizes and types of cylinders, as well as manufacturers who can achieve the impossible where space is a problem, or the installation requires a bespoke cylinder.
The cylinders include the following units which are matched to our Air Source Heat Pumps:
