Free-standing hot water tank 3 IN 1

A heat pump is, indeed, a heat generator that differs from a traditional combustion boiler. The traditional boilers with a heat exchanger to transfer heat between the water circulating inside the boiler and the domestic water are completely inappropriate for use with heat pumps. In traditional boilers, the internal heating coil, if connected to a heat pump, inevitably leads to a reduction of the exchanges as the temperature in the tank rises (as the heat exchange is a function, mainly, of the temperature differential between the two fluids and of the exchange surface). This limits the power which the heat pump can supply and thus prolongs the time required to reach the usage temperature considerably. The most immediate drawbacks when using traditional boilers are: a reduction of domestic hot water availability and a limitation to the heating or cooling capacity. In ehpoca tank domestic water circulated within an instantaneous exchanger comprising a finned copper pipe submerged in the tank. This exchanger has a very large surface that guarantees excellent heat transmission from the “technical” water in the tank to the domestic water and thus ensures the constant supply of hot water for common residential consumption.
