HYBRID SYSTEMS
HYBRID SYSTEMS
CLAUSIUS aerothermal allows an aerothermal capture but with geothermal heat pumps, which gives rise to simpler and more reliable systems.
CLAUSIUS hybrid systems allow the best of geothermal and aerothermal to be obtained in a single system and are, without a doubt, the future of air conditioning systems.
HYBRID SYSTEM
CLAUSIUS ground source heat pumps integrate seamlessly into hybrid geothermal-aerothermal systems, combining ground and air collectors for enhanced efficiency. A specialized control system optimizes glycol flow between collectors, maximizing heating and cooling efficiency across varying conditions.
GROUND RECHARGING
The hybrid systems actively replenish energy into the ground during periods of high outdoor temperatures when heating is unnecessary. They achieve this by transferring heat energy extracted from the air collector to the ground through the ground collector. This cost-effective recharging process converts the ground into an efficient energy storage system. Later, the ground collector and heat pump extract stored energy for reuse in heating the house via the heating system.
CLAUSIUS AIR SYSTEM
CLAUSIUS recommends its air source heat pumps for situations where ground collector installation faces challenges, despite the advantages of ground source heat pumps. The CLAUSIUS Air System retains all benefits of ground source systems but substitutes the collector with a straightforward, efficient air source unit. This integrated approach combines CLAUSIUS ground source heat pumps with a meticulously engineered air source unit, effectively utilizing ambient air energy to operate the heat pump.
The Air Source units actively transfer energy from outside air to the heat pump through a closed glycol circuit. This setup, similar to ground source systems, guarantees simplicity and reliability. By eliminating the need for refrigerant circulation between outdoor and indoor units, installation becomes straightforward and requires less skilled personnel. This design also improves system reliability by eliminating potential high-pressure refrigerant leaks. Additionally, unlike compact air source heat pumps exposed to weather, CLAUSIUS air systems house all critical components indoors, protecting them from environmental damage. This configuration significantly enhances reliability and longevity.
CLAUSIUS AIR UNITS
CLAUSIUS Air Units used in the CLAUSIUS Air and Hybrid Systems have been specially designed by CLAUSIUS in collaboration with a well-known heat exchanger manufacturer.
CLAUSIUS Air Units are equipped with the exclusive defrosting system ?CLAUSIUS Local Defrosting System? specially designed and validated by CLAUSIUS. The CLAUSIUS Local Defrosting System consists of heating the glycol inside the Air Unit and its recirculation only inside the Air Unit tubes, thus preventing its circulation through the connection loop between the Air Unit and the heat pump. This feature allows to reduce the defrosting times and to increase considerably the efficiency of the heating system.
This exclusive CLAUSIUS Local Defrosting System allows obtaining the advantages listed below comparing to other traditional defrosting systems.
The heat is supplied from inside the Air Unit tubes, so a faster and more efficient defrosting process is achieved by minimizing the heat losses to the environment.
The heating and recirculation of the glycol is carried out only inside the Air Unit, thus avoiding its circulation through the connecting circuit between the Air Unit and the heat pump. This feature avoids significant heat losses, as well as the expansion-contraction processes due to the strong temperature changes of the elements and junctions of the circuit during the defrosting proceses, which provides the system a reliability and efficiency much higher than the systems in which the heating of the glycol is carried out in the heat pump.
The CLAUSIUS Local Defrosting System is installed in the CLAUSIUS Air
Units and tested by CLAUSIUS.
BUILT-IN DESUPERHEATER IN CLASSIC MODELS
In CLASSIC configuration and in all H and HC models, a system with desuperheater can be integrated.
The system with desuperheater allows the production of DHW at high temperature as well as a simultaneous production of heating and DHW or swimming pool and cooling with DHW or swimming pool in HC DS models. The desuperheater system consists of one heat exchanger (desuperheater), a circulation pump and the corresponding valves and control system. Our desuperheater system allows:
- Simultaneous production of heating and DHW at high temperature.
- Simultaneous production of cooling and DHW at high temperature.
- Simultaneous production of heating and swimming pool.
- Simultaneous production of cooling and swimming pool.
- Production of only DHW using the condenser and desuperheater simultaneously, which increases the efficiency of the heat pump in these processes
DHW TANKS WITH BUILT-IN DESUPERHEATER IN CLASSIC MODELS
In CLASSIC configuration, all H and HC models can be combined with a DHW tank with desuperheater to produce DHW at high temperature. Combination of CLASSIC models with DHW tank with desuperheater allows DHW production at temperatures up to 80 ?C without electric heaters.
CLASSIC models combined with DHW tanks with desuperheater include all connection and control elements of the DHW production system and are supplied preloaded with refrigerant and with quick connections. The capacities of CLAUSIUS DHW tanks with desuperheater available are 250, 300 and 500 liters. The use of these tanks enables to considerably increase the amount of DHW available. The use of a 500 liters tank with DHW at 80 ?C would allow to obtain more than 1000 liters of DHW for domestic use at 38 ?C.
CLAUSIUS ADVANCE CONTROL
In CLASSIC and ELITE configurations and in all models, we can integrate the CLAUSIUS Advance Control system.
The unique CLAUSIUS ?Advance Control System? has been specifically designed by CLAUSIUS, allowing the control of complex installations, CLAUSIUS Air Source and CLAUSIUS Hybrid Systems, as well as the integration of the heat pumps with photovoltaic installations. CLAUSIUS Advance Control incorporates all the functionalities of the CLAUSIUS Standard control system. Furthermore, adds the features that are detailed below.
- Control of 5 mixing groups.
- Independent control of 6 zones with heating and cooling thermostats.
- Control of the DHW recirculation system by temperature.
- Control of 3 in-line electric heaters.
- Control with flow switches in both brine and heating circuits.
- Simultaneous use of Th-tunes, Internet Kit and Data Acquisition Kit.
- Indoor temperature and humidity measurements.
- Control of bivalent systems through on-off of the complementary system.
- Control of secondary circuits from the buffer tank.
- Control of the CLAUSIUS ground-air source hybrid system.
- Control of the heat pump combined with photovoltaic systems.
