TECHNOLOGY BROCHURE Heating with airborne and geothermal energy: VITOCAL Vitocal heat pumps The perfect way to utilise renewables 2 / 3 INTRODUCTION sustainable environmentally responsible renewable valuable individual Heat pumps utilise renewable energy from the ground, sun, groundwater and air. This means they lower the consumption of fossil fuels, conserve valuable resources and reduce CO emissions that damage 2 the environment. Another benefit is that many of the heat pumps from Viessmann feature active and natural cooling functions. Alongside their classic application as heat generators on cold days, they can also create a pleasantly cool ambience in summer. Our extensive range offers the ideal heat pump to suit every requirement – individually matched to structural and geological conditions, as well as heat demand. Running a heat pump with power generated on site by a photovoltaic system is particularly environmentally responsible and cost effective. Ideal for new build and modernisation: Viessmann heat pumps can be operated with solar thermal or photovoltaic systems, and in conjunction with an existing oil or gas heating system. This allows every building and property owner to realise their individual ideas. 4 / 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS Heat pumps from Viessmann offer tailor-made solutions for heating and cooling, as well as a convenient hot water supply, for both new build and modernisation projects. 6 SAVE ENERGY AND PROTECT THE CLIMATE By modernising your heating system, you are making an active contribution towards protecting the climate and 6 saving fossil fuels. 12 BRINE/WATER HEAT PUMPS Brine/water heat pumps use the ground as their primary energy source, either with geothermal collectors or geothermal probes. 34 AIR SOURCE 12 34 HEAT PUMPS Air source heat pumps utilise outdoor air or extract air as their primary energy source. 66 SYSTEM TECHNOLOGIES DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER System technology from Viessmann perfects your new heating system: Vitotronic control units and Vitocell DHW cylinders, as well as high grade solar technology, for cost effective DHW heating and central heating backup. 70 SERVICE THAT COVERS EVERY ASPECT OF 66 HEATING Viessmann trade partners can advise you on everything you need to know about innovative heating technology, available subsidies and finance options, without obligation and free of charge. 72 72 THE COMPANY The Viessmann family business is a leading international manufacturer 70 of efficient energy systems. 6 / 7 HOW IT WORKS Energy from the ground Energy from the ground (collector) (collector) 1 2 3 1 2 3 Energy from the ground, the air and the sun Energy from groundwater (Vitofriocal ice store system) 5 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 Energy from the air Energy from the air (with outdoor unit) 6 1 3 1 2 3 2 1 Vitocal heat pump 4 Ice store 2 DHW cylinder 5 Solar/air absorber 3 Heating water buffer cylinder 6 Outdoor unit The air, ground, water and waste heat are primary energy sources that are practically free and can be used to run a heat pump system efficiently. Heat pump Compression process A heat pump works like a refrigerator, just in reverse. While a refrigerator directs heat to the outside, heat pumps take energy from the air or the ground 65 °C and transfer it into the living space via the heating system. The transfer medium carrying the heat drawn from the environment is compressed in Getting hotter towards the centre: from an initial temperature of order to reach the flow temperatures between 5 and 18 °C, a flow temperature of up to 65 °C is reached. necessary for different heating systems. For example, a heating system with radiators requires temperatures of up to 65 °C. Underfloor heating systems, however, manage with a flow temperature of 30 °C. This makes heat A heat exchanger transfers the energy Annual COP pumps suitable for both modernisation from the heated gas to the heating When designing a system, it is and new build. circuit.
