Trianco 'Activair'
Air to water heat pump
'Activair air source heat pumps convert wasted heat to provide hot water. Quickly and easily installed externally, in a loft space or a garage, they can be five times as efficient as a gas or oil boiler.
Versions: • 3kW, • 5kW, • 12kW
The Activair uses a small amount of electricity to drive a fan and a quiet, low vibration compressor. From the surrounding air, it extracts large quantities of low grade, otherwise wasted heat. This means it is an incredibly efficient heating system capable of providing a constant supply of hot water at up to 55ºC.
The Activair has a range of impressive features. Cut-out devices guard against abnormal operating conditions, a digital electronic temperature controller ensures precise and consistent control of water temperature and a stainless steel plate heat exchanger ensures corrosion free, long service life. The exterior of the unit is protected by a plasticised zintec coated steel casing.
