Daikin Altherma Heating Only Air Source Heat-Pump Boiler System installation kit

The Daikin Altherma is ideal for home and small commercial applications. The system comprises of a outdoor heat-pump which collects the heat from the outside air and transfers it to the indoor heat exchanger. Highly efficient and adaptable the Daikin Altherma will save money and CO2.

The Daikin Altherma can be easily intergrated with a solar collector which is positioned south facing on the outside of the building for heating the domestic hot water. There is no specific panel required by Altherma which makes it adptable for use with most solar collectors. The sun can provide 30 to 70% of the energy required for our hot water needs.

With space and water heating representing 85% of UK residential energy consumption, replacing conventional central heating boilers with Daikin Altherma air to water heat pumps is the single largest contribution householders can make towards reducing carbon emissions.

Even at a temperature of -20°C, Altherma can still generate heat. At these extreme conditions the Daikin Altherma can supply additional heat by means of an electrical back-up heater. On an annual basis, the heat pump itself will still supply 90 to 95% of your heating requirements. 

Domestic hot water tank

The water inside the storage tank is primarily warmed up by thermal energy from the outside air, thanks to a heat exchanger connected to the heat pump. An additional electrical heating element in the domestic water tank can take care of extra heat required in the shower, tub or sink. At necessary intervals the water is automatically heated to 70°C  to prevent bacteria growth.

EKHBH016AB (Indoor Boiler Unit). With Daikin Altherma you can enjoy delightfully warm and perfectly safe water at all times. Depending on your daily consumption of hot water, Altherma domestic hot water tanks are available in three different sizes, with the largest one being the most efficient. These sizes are 150 ltr, 200 ltr and 300 ltr which can be selcted at the top of this page. 

Solar Collector  (optional)

EKUHWB2WB Solar Installation Accessory Kit.

In combination with solar collectors, Daikin Altherma uses thermal energy from the sun, which will keep up its good work for another five billion years, for heating the domestic hot water. The sun can provide 30 to 70% of the energy required for our hot water needs. The EKUHWB2WB installation kit is what is required when connecting a solar collector to the system

The system can be combined with additional temperature regulating systems with separate thermostats for every single room. Both wired and wireless models of easy-to-use thermostats with extensive possibilities are available from Daikin.

The outdoor units

Altherma uses a natural source of energy. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air and raises its temperature to a level high enough to supply heating

The Daikin Altherma heat pump system extracts low grade thermal energy (at ambient temperature) from the environment (heat freely available in outside air), upgrades the heat to a higher temperature and releases it into the water running through your central heating system with low temperature radiators, under floor heating system or fan coil units.
