Heat pumps with an outdoor unit
Lucht/water warmtepompen met buitenunit zijn de meest gebruikte oplossing in de woningbouw. De warmtepomp staat buiten, bijvoorbeeld in de tuin of op het dak, en levert warmte aan de installatie binnen. Omdat de unit buiten staat, blijft de technische ruimte binnen overzichtelijk en compact.
Hoe werkt een warmtepomp met buitenunit?
An outdoor air-to-water heat pump draws energy from the outside air and converts it into heat for the home.
The outdoor unit contains, among other things, a fan, evaporator and compressor. The generated heat is transferred indoors and used there for:
- Space heating
- Tap water
- Or a combination of these
De buitenunit werkt altijd samen met componenten binnen, zoals een binnenmodule, buffervat of tapwatervoorraadvaat. Samen vormen ze één systeem.
What does an outdoor setup look like in practice?
Bij Lucht/water warmtepomp met buitenunit staat de warmtepomp buiten, de plaatsing verschilt per woning en situatie. Veelvoorkomende opstellingen zijn:
- In the garden or against the facade
- On a flat roof
- On a sloping roof
For terraced houses and compact developments, placement on the roof is increasingly being chosen. This keeps the outdoor space clear and limits the impact of noise on the immediate surroundings.
The position of the unit influences the performance of the system. The distance from the dwelling, the airflow around the unit, and the routing of pipes play an important role in this.
