Air Source Heat Pump Right for Solar System Integration

What Makes Air Source Heat Pump Right for Solar
System Integration?

• Are you looking for a highly efficient air source
  heat pump technology that works well for cold
  climates in North America? Arctic Heat Pump is
  the industry-standard heat pump working
  effectively for hydronic heating and cooling
  purposes. This system is perfectly engineered to
  integrate quickly with a solar thermal heating
  system. This heat pump technology can increase
  the solar systems operational costs and overall
  efficiency by 20. The solar thermal system makes
  a perfect combination to integrate with the
  Arctic series heat pump. The unit can add more
  than 47,000 BTU per day on average per collector.

• Generally, the solar thermal system uses the
  SunRain solar vacuum tube collectors. These
  collectors can accommodate the hot water needs of
  homes amidst the coldest winter days in North
  America. They are the highly advanced collectors
  in North America and come with a ten-year
  warranty. Solar vacuum tubes deliver higher
  efficiency, which allows them to produce energy
  even during cloudy weather conditions. However,
  the solar thermal units have an 80 efficiency
  rating which means they absorb 80 solar energy.
  But the solar PV systems only deliver 13-16
  efficiency. Now you know why solar thermal
  systems have been commonly used in areas with the
  lowest electricity costs worldwide.

What Makes the Air Source Heat Pump Right for
Solar Thermal System Integration? 

• Solar evacuated tubes use heat pipe technology to
  transfer solar energy to a heat bulb. The
  temperature of the heat bulb can rise to 300 C.
  Every solar vacuum collector has 20 or 30 bulbs
  inserted into an insulated copper header,
  otherwise known as a heat exchanger. The heat
  pipes transfer heat energy to the copper header
  and a special glycol heating fluid. Every heat
  exchanger has around 2.2 liters or 0.6 gallons of
  heating fluid.

• A temperature sensor is inserted into the heat
  exchanger,, and the other temperature sensor is
  placed at the bottom of the heat pump buffer
  tank. The system has a differential controller
  with a pump unit that helps determine both
  temperatures. When the heating fluid at the top
  of the collector goes above the water temperature
  in the buffer tank, the pump switches on,
  commencing the energy transfer.
• The hot fluid is circulated throughout the large
  heat exchanger present in the bottom part of the
  tank. After that, the energy is again transferred
  to the storage tank, which will be transferred to
  the remaining part of the home heating system for
  further use.

The Key Takeaway

• Integrating the air source heat pump with the
  solar thermal system is ideal because both units
  have the same glycol heating fluid. In addition,
  they share the same principle of energy storage
  thermal mass. Therefore, if you are looking to
  cut down your home heating costs, you should
  consider integrating your air-to-water heat pump
  with the solar thermal unit to increase the
  system performance and minimize operational costs
  to a greater extent.
