This new build development in Trowbridge was built to the latest building regulations. The Danfoss \ Thermia Diplomat ground source heat pump with an integrated 180L heat pump optimised hot water cylinder was specified. Whilst an air source heat pump could easily have done the job, it was agreed that ground source would be preferred.
This is complemented with a Uponor and Heatmiser wet under floor system using the traditional method of 16mm PEX pipe buried in screed.
Due to the high insulation properties of the building, heating was not required on the first floor but it was suggested that installing under floor heating in diffuser plates for the bathroom would be worthwhile. Who doesn’t like a warm floor in the bathroom?
The Danfoss Thermia range of heat pumps has been specifically designed to maximize efficiency with market leading efficiency and hot water production. The compact design & integrated hot water cylinder make the unit ideal when space is an issue.
Internal modulating circulation pumps maximize efficiency and performance while reducing the annual running cost.
The Thermia Diplomat G2 has market leading hot water production. This is made possible by two technologies;
- Hot Gas Water heater, is patented technology that utilizes rejected energy from the heating cycle to produce free hot water simultaneously.
- Tap Water Stratificator, is patented technology developed to stratify hot water in the tank to ensure optimum performance and maximise usable hot water.
This system is efficient and unobtrusive, providing hot water and heating living spaces in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner for many years to come.
