Daikin Europe N.V. has further expanded its award winning Altherma™ heat pump range. Following its low temperature and monobloc versions, Daikin Europe N.V. announces an Altherma™ high temperature air-to-water residential version – Altherma HT – across Western Europe. With the launch of this high temperature heating system (with optional domestic hot water preparation) expected this summer, Daikin has set its sights on the huge replacement market for heat pumps. Unique features in Altherma HT’s pair application are its efficient two-step compression that guarantees water temperatures in radiators to 80°C without the need for a booster heater, its operation at outdoor temperatures down to -25°C, the possible integration of its intelligent hydro-box and water tank, and night mode (reducing sound levels by up to 9 dBA).

Optional domestic hot water, installation flexibility
Additional features include the system’s optional domestic hot water preparation. Since the system efficiently heats water to 80°C, the two water tank volumes offered – 200 and 260 litres – can easily provide between 400 and 500 litres of water for bathing or showering. With the heat pump system operating at a continuous high temperature level, it can also provide thermal disinfection of legionella without a booster heater. To save space, the hot water tank can be mounted on the system’s intelligent hydro-box, which includes all hydraulic parts (indoor heat pump, expansion tank, shut off and 3-way valves). The stylish design of the floor mounted indoor unit, as well as its silent operation in night mode (reducing sound levels by 3dBA) add to the system’s attractiveness. An intelligent remote controller ensures optimum operation and comfort.
