The affordable sustainable heating solutionOffering a choice of affordable and sustainable heating products to

the market is paramount to Trianco. Activair air to water heat pumps,

were the first renewable offering launched under the Trianco brand

and have since provided energy saving solutions to hundreds of

homes across the UK. The range has also been officially stamped

with the ‘Microgeneration Certificate’ confirming it as one of the

lowest priced ‘MCS’ accredited products available on the

market today.

Why an air source heat pump?

Activair air source heat pumps (ASHP’s) have been a popular choice

for households seeking to achieve low cost heating and DHW for

the home without having to make huge exceptions for install and

purchase price as with other renewable technologies such as ground

source heat pumps and solar. We believe this technology is one of

the most logical renewable heating solutions for domestic use.

A ground sourced heat pump is usually much more complicated

due to the need for wells or buried coils, together with alterations

to land and property. It’s therefore much more expensive to install

than an air sourced heat pump. Solar power is another option, but

is dependent on sunny days for adequate performance levels. Wind

turbines obviously depend upon a good supply of wind and as such

can fail in sheltered locations where as Activair will work around, the

clock, regardless of conditions, in all but the most extreme

low temperatures.

Activair - 4kW

Saving energy and preventing pollution

Activair works in a very similar way to a domestic refrigerator,

utilising a working fluid driven around a refrigerant circuit containing

four components - an evaporator, a compressor a condenser and an

expansion valve. The refrigerant liquid circulating within the system has

a boiling point as low as -40°C and evaporates when absorbing heat

from ambient air. This means it’s possible to extract considerable heat

from extremely low temperatures. The resulting refrigerant gas is then

compressed, adding more heat energy and raising its temperature to

around 60°C. This heat is then passed via the heat exchanger into your

home for use in your hot water cylinder.

Coefficient of Performance

The coefficient of performance, or COP, of a heat pump is the ratio

of the output heat to the input supplied. An air source heat pump

operating at COP of 3.0 will provide 3kW of heat output for every 1kW

of unit input (energy consumed). The average yearly temperature in

the UK is 10-11 degrees. Assuming this, the Activair 8kW presents an

impressive average COP of 4.0 at 7 degrees C.

What savings can I achieve? Government grant initiatives are in place

to encourage installation of renewable

technologies such as air source heat pumps.

The current Renewable Heat Premium

Payments (RHPP) is a scheme that offers the

homeowner a voucher worth £850.00 on

the installation of an MCS accredited ASHP

(subject to terms and conditions).

The purchase and installation cost of a 4kW

Activair can be at the fraction of the cost of

other renewable technologies and significant

pay back can be achieved. The RHI expected next year is intended to

adopt a feed in tariff approach with payments made for every kW - hour

of energy produced in the home, still pending government clarification.

InstallationActivair can be installed externally floor standing or wall mounted (using wall mounting brackets) The 4kW

and 8kW can be installed in a loft space providing suitable clearances and siting instructions are met. It is

important that every heat pump is correctly sized for the property and not merely based on the output of an

existing installation of a previously used gas or oil boiler for example. Appropriate room by room heat loss

calculations should be established for the property to ascertain the correct output requirement for the heat

pump. To install, Activair requires simple connection to a suitable heating system along with an electrical

connection, an MCS accredited engineer should carry out the installation, should government grants wish to

be claimed for.

As well as the monetary saving opportunities with Activair,

significant savings on CO2 emissions would result in lowering the

impact on the environment and growing effects of climate change.

Commercial applicationActivair is also offered in commercial scale outputs from

18kW – 144kW. Modular cascade systems are available up to

432kW (i.e 6 times 72kW units). Ideal for residential or commercial

installations i.e. Hospitals, hotels, large retail stores, flat developments

and office premises these units can be installed internally (i.e. in a

boiler room) or external to the building. Commercial models are

ideally suited to premises requiring constant, around the clock,

heating and hot water and are an ideal solution for companies or

specifiers looking to assess and reduce energy consumption and

ultimately reduce expensive energy bills in larger buildings.
