Description
Our planet is changing and we need to change the way we heat our homes. We need a way to heat our homes that uses less energy, reduces running costs and significantly reduces CO2 emissions and carbon footprint.
These systems involve new, more efficient ways of heating and delivering hot water to homes compared to traditional home heating methods such as oil or gas boilers.
Air to water heat pumps can provide a solution.
Leomon can provide air to water heat pumps and standalone units. Heat pumps operate by converting energy from the outside air into heat, which means that every 1kW of electricity used to drive the heat pump is able to provide up to 5kW of energy in a well-insulated home - helping to reduce heating bills by up to 60% and CO2 emissions by 50% compared to traditional boiler heating systems.
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside ambient air all year round, even in temperatures as low as -25°C. The compact and virtually silent outdoor unit uses the award-winning DC inverter PAM technology. We offer two types of air source heat pumps, a Mono-Bloc unit and a split unit
Benefits for homeowners
1. Lower fuel bills
2. Reduced carbon emissions
3. Self-contained heating and hot water solution - just add a hot water tank
4. Suitable for new build and renovation projects - can even be used with an existing boiler
5. Up to 5 times more efficient than a traditional gas boiler
6. Meets renewable energy planning requirements
Benefits for installers
1. Simple and quick installation, no refrigeration treatment required (split units require refrigeration piping)
2. Inverter technology means heat output is matched to the heating load of the house
3. High COP - market leading COP of 5.0 (2HP model)
4. Weather compensation control
5. World-renowned, highly reliable high pressure scroll compressors
6. Output power from 5kW to 16kW
7. 600mm compact height option
8. Combine with other renewable technologies
How do air to water heat pumps work?
An air-to-water (or air-source) heat pump harnesses the energy in the outside air and converts it into usable heat. This is done through a refrigeration process and a vapour compression cycle, which sounds complicated, but it’s basically how a fridge works, only in reverse.
Heat pumps work much more efficiently at lower temperatures than standard boiler systems. An air-to-water heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way a fridge extracts heat from the inside. It can extract heat from the air even at temperatures as low as -15° C.
This makes them ideal for floor heating systems or larger radiators that can emit heat at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
Floor heating systems circulate low-temperature water. Most conventional heating systems circulate high-temperature water, usually between 50ºC and 80ºC, while floor heating systems circulate water between 25ºC and 40ºC.
Air-to-water heat pumps are the most modern and efficient way to generate this low-temperature water supply. Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat your home and meet your domestic hot water needs. Air-to-water heat pumps also significantly reduce CO2 emissions and your carbon footprint.
What is the difference between a split and a monoblock heat pump?
A "split" unit is exactly that. It divides the refrigeration process into an outdoor fan unit and an indoor unit. The compressor is therefore located in the outdoor unit and two pipes with refrigerant connect to the indoor unit, where the heat exchanger and water side as well as the main controller are located.
The advantage of a split air conditioner is that the outdoor unit can be installed at a distance from the house (usually up to 50 meters) and there is almost no heat loss. In addition, the outdoor unit is smaller and quieter.
With a "monoblock" air conditioner, the compressor, heat exchanger and water side of the refrigeration cycle are all contained in the outdoor unit. Therefore, no special qualifications are required to install a monoblock air conditioner, as it is very similar to boiler installation.
Our products
* Monoblock units
A compact solution with a single unit installed outside the house, it does not take up space inside and can be used with an existing heating solution. The heat pump can be connected to the indoor heating system by simply laying two insulated pipes and electrical connection cables in the ground.
* Split tank combination unit
Split system that produces hot or cold water to supply radiators, fan coils, floor heating or a combination of these. When connected to a tank, it can also be used to produce domestic hot water.
