Heat pump radiators for efficient room air conditioning
Homeowners and builders who want to replace their existing heating system with a heat pump or are planning a new build with sustainable air conditioning technology are installing new, economical heating and cooling appliances in the rooms. These must be able to deliver high performance with low water temperatures. In the living area, heat pump radiators are particularly suitable as an alternative to underfloor heating for the operation of heat pumps, which typically deliver low flow temperatures. This contributes to the energy efficiency of the heating system and makes it possible to reduce energy consumption.
The inner workings of the devices are made entirely of expanded polypropylene (EPP) from RUCH NOVAPLAST. The EPP components hold the individual components of the radiator securely in place and, thanks to their design, direct the air flows to the inlets and outlets in accordance with defined parameters. In addition, the components perform insulating functions that promote energy conservation and thus enable energy-efficient operation. Another advantage of EPP is that the particle foam consists of 95 percent air. Thanks to the very light material, the complete device can save a lot of weight, which simplifies installation on site.
