Air Source Heat Pump Desuperheater

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 heat pump system uses r410a as refrigerant and has a heating capacity of 4 9 kw a 12w35. 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. Heat pumps reduce hot water costs through a component called a desuperheater. Geothermal systems make hot water in both heating mode and air conditioning mode.

Reverse cycle bypass valve makes ifm inactive in cooling mode. You can purchase a stand alone heat. 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.

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. 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. To move the heat heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse.
