Amicus Boost water source heat pumps
Amicus Boost heat pumps are designed for hybrid heating/hot water systems. They can integrate with Amicus LT air source heat pumps, high efficiency gas-fired boilers and water heaters, fast recovery electric water heaters and waste heat recovery systems. Ten models provide heating capacities from 38.8 to 273.2Kw and include the following features:-
- COP up to 5.14
- SCOP up to 4.47
- High operating temperatures – up to 78ºC
- Stage compressors
- Integral controls
- Indoor installation
Amicus Boost heat pumps are designed for use in hybrid heating and hot water systems; they can be installed in conjunction with Amicus LT air source heat pumps, for which Lochinvar can provide all major components, providing the convenience of a single supplier solution.
They can also operate with heat recovery/ reclaim systems.
Both can help to reduce capital cost, when compared to a standalone air source heat pump system, and will provide high levels of operating efficiency all year round.
Key Features:
- Heating capacity up to 496kW
- Designed for use with heat recovery/reclaim systems
- Operates at temperatures of up to 78°C
- COP up to 5.14
- SCOP up to 4.47
- Stage compressors
The efficiency of a heat pump is often expressed as COP; this is the ratio of heat output available from a single unit of heat input. Amicus Boost have COP of up to 5.14, which could also be described as an efficiency of up to 514%. COP is calculated at a specific ambient temperature of 7°C and at a flow temperature of 30 to 35°C.
Amicus Boost heat pumps have an acceptance temperature range of 10 to 35°C, so Heat Sharing Networks (Ambient Loops) can be an effective water source the Boost Heat Pump can utilise.
All Amicus Boost units can deliver high temperatures to a Heating or Hot Water system with a localised efficiency in excess of 500%.
