A heat pump is part of a heating and cooling system and is installed outside your home. In cooler months, a heat pump pulls heat from the cold outdoor air into your home, and in warmer months it pulls heat out of indoor air to cool your home. Quite simply, heat pumps can keep you cool or warm, all the while also providing domestic hot water.
Traditional gas boilers operate on fossil fuels, such as natural gas, to heat buildings or provide hot water. Samsung’s heat pumps, called EHS, are Air Source heat pumps that use electricity and ambient energy available in outside air to generate heat and produce hot water for your home.
There are two types of Air Source heat pumps
Air-to-Air heat pumps that use the outside air as a source to heat or cool your home via an air conditioning indoor unit.
Air-to-Water heat pumps that take heat from the outside air to produce domestic hot water and heat via radiators and underfloor heating.
Heat pump composition
A heat pump consists of an outdoor unit, a hydronic system, a domestic hot water tank and a controller.
The water tank holds your domestic hot water supply. It is available in different sizes so it can fit into almost any space. You also have options in terms of capacity: Samsung’s ClimateHub offers the choice between a 200 or 260 litres tank, so you can select the option that better suits the size of your family and your expected water usage.
The outdoor unit does most of the work. It removes heat from the air inside your home and transfers it outside when you need cool air. And it absorbs heat from the outdoor air and brings it into your home when you need heat.
The hydro unit takes care of warming up the water and sending it through the piping of your home.
The refrigerant piping enables the refrigerant to flow from the outdoor unit to the hydro unit which runs the refrigerant.
Our heat pumps use refrigerants – a fluid that the heat pump uses to cool your home – in the warmer months and heat your home in the cooler months. The refrigerant circulates through your heat pump to absorb, transfer and release heat.
Monitor and adjust your heating and air conditioning using the intuitive Wired Remote Controller. It can even be installed anywhere you want for more convenient access.
