Monoblock Heat Pumps - Everything compact in one device
Air to Water Heat Pump system is used for both space heating and domestic hot water supply. The heat collected from the outdoor air is then distributed through a water-based system, such as underfloor heating, radiators, or a combination of both.

Monoblock Heat Pumps
SPIRIT M are high-efficiency Monoblock Heat Pumps. These produce hot and cold water for underfloor heating, radiators and fan coils. Production of Direct Hot Water is allowed when combined with a water heater. Available in powers from 6 kW to 16 kW.
THE MONOBLOCK SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC KIT
• It consists of a single unit, which integrates the heat pump and the hydraulic kit.
• If a buffer tank or a Direct Hot Water tank is required, we will install them independently.
• Direct connection to Direct Hot Water systems, underfloor heating, fans and radiators, water tanks, gas boilers, etc.
- WI-FI Controlled
- Water outlet at 60°C without electrical resistance support
- Five years warranty
- GOLDEN FIN – The battery's anti-corrosion treatment gives it a golden appearance (Golden Fin). The anti-corrosion treatment makes it ideal for marine environments.
Benefits of the Air-to-Water Heat Pumps :
1. Renewable Energy Source:
The heat extracted from the outdoor air is a renewable resource, making the system more environmentally friendly compared to traditional fossil fuel-based heating systems.
2. Energy Efficiency:
Air-to-water heat pumps are efficient even in colder climates, though their performance may drop as temperatures decrease. However, they may still need supplemental heating during extremely cold periods.
3. Lower Operating Costs:
While the upfront costs can be higher than traditional systems, air-to-water heat pumps can lead to lower operating costs over time due to their energy efficiency.
4. Versatility:
These heat pumps can be used for both space heating and domestic hot water, offering a comprehensive solution for building heating needs.
5. Reduced Carbon Emissions:
Since the heat pump relies on electricity to operate, if that electricity comes from renewable sources, the system's overall carbon footprint can be significantly reduced.
How an Air-to-Water Heat Pump works?
Heat pumps can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy to provide efficient heating and cooling. When renewable energy is used to operate heat pumps, the overall system becomes more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
1. Heat Extraction:
The heat pump unit contains a refrigerant that evaporates at low temperatures. It takes in the outdoor air, even in colder weather, and extracts heat from it. The refrigerant absorbs this heat and turns into a gas.
2. Compression:
The gas refrigerant is then compressed, which increases its temperature. This process raises the heat energy and transforms the gas into a high-pressure, high-temperature state.
3. Heat Release:
The hot, pressurized gas releases its heat into the water within the central heating system. This raises the temperature of the water, which is then circulated throughout the building to provide heating and, in some cases, hot water for domestic use.
5. Expansion and Cooling:
After releasing its heat, the refrigerant returns to a low-pressure state and turns back into a liquid. This process involves a drop in temperature. The refrigerant is then ready to repeat the cycle by absorbing heat from the outdoor air once again.
9 STEPS to installing a Heat Pump System with Renewables Energy Source
- Determine the heat pump type: air-to-air, air-to-water, ground source, etc., based on your heating and cooling needs.
- Evaluate the location for installation, considering factors like available space, climate, and access to renewable energy sources (if applicable).
- Check if any permits or approvals are required for installation in your area.
- Calculate the heat load of your building to determine the appropriate heat pump capacity.
- Design the distribution system for heating and cooling (ductwork, piping, radiators, etc.).
- Plan the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines.
- If installing solar panels, determine the suitable location and orientation for optimal sunlight exposure.
- Install solar panels or wind turbines according to manufacturer guidelines and local regulations.
- Connect the renewable energy system to the electrical grid or storage system.
- Purchase the heat pump unit along with necessary components like air handlers, coils, expansion valves, etc.
- For ground source systems, plan and install the ground loop or boreholes if applicable.
- Install any required electrical wiring or circuits for the heat pump and renewable energy system.
- Ensure the installation site is ready and clean for efficient installation.
- Install the indoor unit, connecting it to the distribution system (ductwork, radiators, etc.).
- Ensure proper insulation and sealing to prevent energy loss.
- Position the outdoor unit on a stable surface with sufficient clearances for airflow.
- Connect refrigerant lines between the indoor and outdoor units.
- Charge the system with refrigerant as per manufacturer specifications.
- Check for refrigerant leaks and proper pressure levels.
- Connect the heat pump and renewable energy system to the electrical grid or storage system.
- Ensure proper grounding and compliance with safety codes.
- Install and configure the thermostat or control system to operate the heat pump and renewable energy sources efficiently.
- Integrate the renewable energy system with the heat pump controls.
- Test the heat pump system in both heating and cooling modes.
- Verify the operation of the renewable energy system and its integration with the heat pump.
- Check for leaks, system pressures, and temperature differentials.
- Provide training to the building owner or user on how to operate and maintain the heat pump and renewable energy system.
- Explain troubleshooting and maintenance tasks specific to the integrated system.
- Establish a maintenance schedule to ensure the ongoing efficiency and performance of the heat pump and renewable energy system.
