Energy Saving
We realize plumbing and heating systems with energy saving technologies
The European Union's goals are: to reduce CO2 emissions by 20%; increase energy efficiency by 20%; and to boost consumption of renewable resources by 20%.
European legislation encourages and promotes innovation and research into energy-efficient air-conditioning and heating technologies in buildings.
Our aim is install solutions which offer low-energy consumption and high energy production using renewable energy resources. We encourage replacement of traditional gas heaters with new condensing boilers. We can offer solar thermal energy technology and install high-efficiency air-to water and/or water-to-water heat pumps ( geothermal with aquifer).
The first step a small family can take towards energy efficiency is the installation of a CONDENSING BOILER. Boilers are the core of the central heating system because they produce the combustion to create thermal energy used for different purposes (environmental heating, production of hot water for sanitary or productive usage).
Conventional boilers, also referred to as 'high-efficiency boilers', can use just one part of the sensible heat, while the water vapor - produced during the combustion process, whose latent heat (or energy density) is as much as 11% of the energy extracted by the combustion - is wasted in the atmosphere when expelled. In these cases, the temperature of the waste vapor is still very high (as much as around 140-160°C for high-efficiency boilers and around 200-250 °C for less efficient ones).
However, by using new materials which are resistent to corrision, and a special heat exchanger, condensing boilers can recover most of the heat that would otherwise be wasted through expulsion. In this case, the vapor/smoke/gases are expelled from the system at a temperature of 40 C. The most advanced technology available in boilers utilized the hot temperature of the return water from the central heating system to condense the gases, which are cooler than the temperature of the delivery water, the recovered heat is then used to preheat the return water of the system.
The GEOTHERMAL PANEL is a system which has the same functions as the boiler and air conditioning., This can both heat or cool the environment in hot or cold weather by using the constant underground temperature, as well as the capability to produce sanitary hot water. It is the ideal alternative to the traditional panel, if it is integrated with thermal solar plans or photovoltaic systems complete with high-efficiency equipment.
The geothermal panel has three main components:
- geothermal probe
- geothermal heat pump (water-to-water)
- heat accumulator, to which is connected the distribution network for central heating, water and sanitary systems.
The HEAT PUMP PANEL is a system which has the same function as the geothermal panel, exept that it uses external air instead of underground water as the energy source used for thermal energy production.
This kind of panel is recommended for low thermal dispersion (class type A) and located in localities with winter temperatures that do not consistently fall below 0°C. Additionaly, the best energy conservation solution in this case is integration of the solar thermal and/or photovoltaic panel.
The ideal solution to get the maximum benefit in terms of energy savings is if an underfloor heating/cooling system will be matched with the condensing boiler, heat pump air-water, or water-water (pump geothermal) .
Underfloor heating system means distribute the heat evenly over the entire surface of the house, by generating a considerable feeling of physiological comfort that approaches the ideal heating for the human body. This will avoid the uneconomic stratifications heat ceiling.
Energy saving is closely related to the wide radiating surface, which allows the use of average temperatures of around 33 ° flow, compared to the traditional values for other plants around 70 °.
It is also an optimal solution in terms of space avoiding unused spaces in the house normally occupied by the radiator or fan coil, allowing greater freedom of furnishings.
You can have the possibility to set the desired temperature in each individual room and has no installation constraints related to the type of flooring choice.
With the same radiant heating system components, you have the ability to cool the entire surface of the house during the summer combining it dehumidifiers.
Even in this case, the level of comfort is optimal because it is as always uniform over the entire surface space. And more, thanks to particular devices, the air temperature and humidity within the environments are kept under control by a control unit.
To this we have to add the complete absence of annoying noise, air movement and proliferation of bacteria in the air.
In terms of energy saving, the power consumption compared to traditional air systems, is often less than 50%.
The SOLAR PANEL is made up of a panel that receives solar energy from both an exchanger - where the used fluid circulates - and from a tank that stores the produced energy. There are many different types of panel available on the market, but the most widely used are the thermal solar panel plan and solar vacuum tube with high levels of thermal efficiency.
The former is commonly used to produce sanitary hot water, whereas the latter, which provide a higher thermal yield, are also recommended for integration in central heating systems.
