A new heating system powered by the sun – all year round
HYSS
The HYSS system makes possible the short-term storage of
solar energy underground. Even if the sun alone normally
cannot cover full heating requirements, HYSS creates the best
conditions for a marked improvement in heat pump efficiency
(COP). The solar heating is integrated with the heat pump right
from the start, and the system comprises also the storage of
solar heat underground – in either an energy well or a ground
loop. Other components of the system are an optimised storage
tank and an integrated control system. The user achieves good
operating economy without an excessively large investment.
The use of solar heating can be maximised by using a correctly
dimensioned number of solar panels, combined with the highly
efficient speed-controlled (inverter-controlled) heat pump. Even
during the winter, the solar heating will contribute by preheating
the incoming brine, resulting in higher efficiency of the heat-
pump and less power consumption. This gives a shorter
payback time for the heating system, since the solar panels are
used not only to produce hot water, but also to increase the
efficiency of the heat pump. Assembly and start-up of the
heating system are simple, and the user-friendly control system
makes HYSS a heating system that is truly “fit for use”,
supplying the full requirement for hot tap water and room
heating without additional sources of heat.
HYSS is delivered with integrated measurement equipment with
high accuracy. In this way, the user can continuously monitor
the performance of the system both in real time (COP) and
over longer periods of time (SCOP). The user can check at any
time that the system is actually delivering what the calculations
promised.
The system is connected to a webserver. This makes it possible
to carry out rapidly any necessary fault finding and repair, and
automatically ensures that the user always has the most recent
and best software.
