Outside air contains a reliable level of heat that can be captured by our one piece air source heat pump.
The Baxi AmbifloTM is suitable for domestic use and takes the latent heat from outside air, using this energy to provide heating within the home. Air source heat pumps can offer substantial carbon savings when compared to other heating sources such as electric storage heaters and oil boilers.
Under typical conditions, air source heat pumps operate at average seasonal efficiences of between 200% and 300%. The efficiency of heat pumps varies depending on the difference between the outside air temperature and central heating temperature. The smaller the difference, the greater the efficiency.
How it works
1. Outside air is drawn over the evaporator. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and changes from a liquid to a vapour.
2. The refrigerant then passes through a compressor, increasing the pressure and consequently the temperature of the vapour. This higher temperature is now suitable for domestic heating.
3. The higher temperature refrigerant then passes through the condenser heat exchanger, transferring heat to the heating system.
4. With the heat now removed, the refrigerant returns to liquid. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, returning the refrigerant to its original state ready to repeat the cycle.
Solar
The Baxi AmbifloTM can also be used together with Baxi SolarfloTM thermal domestic hot water system to provide a total heating and hot water solution from one supplier. Therefore reducing carbon emissions and fuel bills from the property and achieving Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) requirements for new build properties.
Accessories
The system packs include all the necessary components to control and link to a standard heating circuit. A range of accessories is also available to suit other types of heating circuits.
