Alpha launches hydro heat pump solution W
ith UK homeowners seeking greener home heating alternatives, leading heating manufacturer Alpha has launched a new addition to its existing heat pump range. The Alpha Hydro is a single-phase solution which pairs with a pre-plumbed 200 litre cylinder and Smartech controls to provide the ultimate in renewable heating effi ciency. Cleverly working to be as effi cient as possible, the air source heat pump solution utilises low- temperature heat from the outdoor air and increases the heat within the system. This can then be transferred, for example, to water that circulates around radiators or even underfl oor heating in the home. The most noticeable diff erence in using the Hydro heat pump compared to a boiler is that it is a low-temperature system best suited to continuous operation. This contrasts with the tried and tested gas boiler which switches on and off during the day to keep the house at a required level.
A standout feature of the Hydro is its built-in weather compensation probe. This is designed to ensure precise monitoring of inside and outside temperatures. By ensuring timely changes in the heat delivered, the weather compensation will help to keep the desired levels of heat in the property constant without the homeowner noticing any fl uctuations. This is one of the reasons heat pumps are so energy effi cient.
