HEAT PUMPS

Mark Mogey, Altecnic.

MARK MOGEY, HEAD OF OEM SALES & ROI AT ALTECNIC, EXPLORES HOW THE INSTALLATION OF BUFFER TANKS, ANTI-FREEZE VALVES, AND THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES CAN BE A GAME-CHANGER FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF HEAT PUMP INSTALLATIONS… Elevating heat pump efficiency

H eat pump systems have become increasingly popular due to their energy-efficient nature. However, they can be a costly investment and face challenges related to efficiency, temperature fluctuations, and system longevity. There are various components which offer an innovative solution to these issues, ensuring optimal performance and comfort in heat pump systems. POWERING EFFICIENCY AND STABILITY WITH BUFFER TANKS Buffer tanks serve as guardians of efficiency and comfort. These reservoirs store excess heat generated by heat pumps during peak production periods to be used later, reducing the frequency of start-ups and shutdowns. This translates

into improved energy efficiency, as heat pumps can run at their optimal efficiency levels for longer periods. Moreover, buffer tanks prevent rapid temperature fluctuations by providing a steady source of heat during peak demand. This minimises the on-off cycling of heat pumps, which can lead to increased wear and tear. The result is not just energy savings, but also an extended lifespan for the heat pump system, as well as greater comfort for homeowners who want consistent water temperatures. 569 SERIES BUFFER TANKS The Altecnic 569 Series buffer tanks have been specifically designed to optimise domestic or small commercial heat pump systems. They come in various sizes, accommodating different heat pump

capacities and system requirements. Designed with multiple connection points, the 569 Series buffer tanks facilitate effortless integration into existing heat pump installations. With precision engineering and forward-thinking design, these buffer tanks have been engineered to elevate heat pump systems to new heights of efficiency and reliability. Constructed from high-quality materials, the 569 Series buffer tanks offer excellent corrosion resistance. This durability extends the tank’s lifespan and contributes to the reliability of the entire system. With this, these buffer tanks feature thermal insulation to minimize heat loss and ensure that the stored heat remains available for distribution, maximising energy efficiency.
