HOW THE HEAT PUMP WORKS The Ideal airtherm Heat Pump provides thermodynamic heating by means of a vapour compression cycle (similar to that employed in a conventional refrigerator), in addition to operating as an active solar collector. The EVAPORATOR collects heat from the outside ambient air, pre-heated by the sun.

The heating circulation pump takes hot water from the Airtherm unit to the thermstore water storage vessel which is a specially designed indirect cylinder. The following range of cylinders are available from Ideal heating. These are fitted with thermostatic controls which control the storage water temperature. The maximum DHW temperature is set in the factory at 65ºC.
