NIBE Ground source A new generation of heat pumps

+– NIBE GROUND SOURCE 2

Underground solar heat - a vast reserve of energy just waiting to be tapped! Look out of your window and what do you see? The street? The house opposite? The trees and fields? What we at NIBE see is a free source of energy – the ground! With the aid of a ground source heat pump, solar energy stored in the ground can be collected and used to heat your home. Here’s how. Warmth builds up underground from the first days of spring when the surface of the earth starts to thaw, to high summer, when the rays of the midday sun penetrate deep down into the ground. By the time the autumn leaves are falling,...

Why choose a ground source heat pump? NIBE GROUND SOURCE 4

You save money Installing a ground source heat pump from NIBE can lead to a reduction in energy consumption of up to 80%. The reason for this is that a ground source heat pump uses the ground, surface soil or nearby lake as its main energy source, and all these kinds of energy are free of charge. Although the heat pump doesn’t pay for itself in the first month, you will notice the financial benefits right away because your heating bills will be so much lower. Moreover, the efficiency of NIBE’s latest generation of ground source heat pumps (they have an especially high operating range) positively...

FOUR kinds of ground source energy The term “ground source” covers four different heat sources: rock, surface soil, ground water and lake. The one that suits your location best is determined by factors such as the building’s energy needs, your current heating system and the kind of terrain your house stands upon. Your local NIBE installer will be able to offer advice about which one is most appropriate for your home. In all four cases, the heat pump concentrates the stored energy from one of these sources in such a way as to provide the hot water for radiators, underfloor heating, baths and showers....

Ground water Lake collector A viable energy source for any building where ground water is easily accessible. Cost-effective installation for lakeside homes. Ground water can also be utilised as a heat source since it has a temperature of between 4 and 12°C all-year round. The heat pump collects stored solar energy from the ground water. Normally, there is one well for drawing up water and one for returning it. If your home is built beside a water source such as a lake, heat from the lake water can be extracted using a surface soil collector anchored to the bottom of the lake. NIBE GROUND SOURCE...

How do ground source heat pumps work? The earth absorbs and stores heat from the sun year after year, providing us with a constant source of naturally renewed energy. Just a few feet under the ground, there is a fairly constant average temperature of 4°C to 12°C. This trapped energy represents a vast reserve of low grade heat waiting to be tapped. The ground source heat pump gathers heat from the solar energy stored underground, either using collectors buried at a shallow depth, or from boreholes which are drilled deeper underground. The heat is transferred from the ground to the heat pump using...

NIBE’s answer: Home owners, architects and builders are looking for When compared to alternative heating solutions, more environmentally-friendly ways to regulate the heat pumps have a very low environmental impact. indoor climate. There is an obvious trend away from natural gas and oil Designed for domestic use, NIBE ground source heat based solutions due to the pressures of cost and avail- pumps are easy to install, operate and maintain. They ability of fossil fuels. Long term planning is called for. are built to last and can be driven by a variety of differ- ent energy sources, depending on...

WHAT IMPACT DOES A NIBE GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP HAVE ON YOUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION? It reduces energy consumption for heating and hot water by up to 80%! Thanks to a series of efficiency-enhancing innovations, such as low energy circulation pumps (class A), an especially well-insulated hot water tank and indeed, to the design of the tank itself, NIBE’s ground source heat pumps offer a particularly high Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF). That is, their average performance calculated over an entire year, taking into account the changing weather conditions and the household’s fluctuating energy needs....

More good reasons to exchange your conventional boiler for a NIBE ground source heat pump: – NIBE ground source heat pumps are ideal for underfloor heating and water-filled radiators. They tap into highly stable temperatures below the earth’s surface to provide a consistent source of energy all year round. – Most NIBE heat pumps also include a cooling function. – You no longer need to worry about the availability of fossil fuels. – No natural gas supply, flues or ventilation are needed. – A NIBE heat pump gives you a clean, discreet heating, eliminating the need for a chimney. – The noise level...

NIBE ground source heat pumps & accessories Presenting the new generation.

The new generation of NIBE ground source heat pumps The principle behind ground source heating is basically very simple, but at NIBE we have developed the technology over the years, leading to increasingly sophisticated and advanced products. Our new generation of ground source heat pumps is packed with sophisticated technology, but at the same time incredibly simple to install and operate. Designed for connection to a heat distribution system such as radiators, convectors or underfloor heating, these new heat pumps offer astonishing savings and big environmental benefits. Now, even more efficient!...

NIBE GROUND SOURCE 15

NIBE ground source heat pump installed in your home Four functions in one: Heating cooling, DOMESTIC hot water and ventilation with one heat pump Using your NIBE ground source heat pump, all these functions are possible. Water-borne distribution of heating takes place via radiators or an underfloor heating system; cooling takes place via fancoils or the same underfloor system. Zero visual impact: All outdoor elements out of sight Since the bore hole, surface or underground water collectors are hidden beneath the ground, there is no visible evidence of the heat pump in your garden. Surface soil...
