The super-clean Heating Machine
The ingenious Activair ASHP
Air Source Heat Pumps are becoming an increasingly popular choice for home heating, especially in areas with less severe winters. But what makes it such a viable heating alternative, and how does it work? Quite simply, the Activair ASHP has a motor powered by electricity that supplies more energy than it consumes when it extracts heat from the surrounding air. For every unit of energy purchased as electricity, several units of heat are delivered, making it up to four times more effective.
Saving energy and preventing pollution
It 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.
