heat pumps and hot water

Modern buildings require less power for heating due to improved building methods and insulation values.  On the other hand, our demand for hot water is increasing.  It is therefore absolutely essential that the water heating capacity of the heat pump equipment is as efficient as possible.

The Hygienik Tank provides domestic hot water and heating for your system.  It's a key element linking the whole heating design in your house.  The system acts as both a thermal store for domestic hot water AND a buffer tank for the underfloor heating.  Fresh mains water is passed through a heat exchanger on the outside of the tank.  The result is fresh hot water that's never been stored so bacteria such as legionella cannot build up.  Basically the Hygienik Tank is a hot water cylinder and thermal store where you can "dump" any warm water from any other heat source (eg solar panels, oil/gas boilers, wood, wood chip or wood pellet-burning stoves, asphalt solar collector), providing a fully integrated package.  So all the systems and technologies are backing each other up - add a wind turbine and you can become totally self-sufficient!
