KEEPING WARM IN HARSH CLIMATES
Extreme cold environments pose unique challenges for HVAC systems. Thanks to a state-of-the-art Arctic Chamber, however, the AetherLux heat pumps have been proven to operate reliably in the harshest of climates
TESTING THE HEAT PUMP To prove its performance, the heat pump was rigorously tested in
a state-of-the-art Arctic Chamber, designed to simulate extreme subzero conditions as low as -51˚C. The Arctic Chamber ensures a consistent and repeatable testing environment, free from external variables that could skew results. Professional-grade Testo tools – including the 605i, 405i, and 915i
– were used to collect precise and scientifically validated data on performance metrics such as temperature output, humidity control, and airflow efficiency. The Arctic Chamber allowed the company to:
1. Simulate Extreme Cold: Create conditions as low as -51˚C to push the heat pump to its operational limits.
2. Control Variables: Maintain stable temperatures and eliminate environmental inconsistencies for reliable data.
3. Repeat Testing: Conduct multiple cycles to verify consistent performance and durability under prolonged exposure to extreme conditions.
Four key performance metrics were evaluated: • Temperature Output: To confirm the heat pump delivers sufficient warmth in extreme cold.
A
new range of heat pumps have been introduced that are said to utilise revolutionary technology to deliver unmatched heating
performance, even in the harshest climates. It is claimed that the AetherLux heat pumps, available from Terravis Energy, offer significantly higher efficiency, reduced energy costs and lower emissions when compared to traditional systems, with the ability to maintain consistent heating in extreme conditions. Designed as a complete replacement for traditional furnaces and air
conditioners, providing efficient heating and cooling year-round, these new pumps are said to offer significant energy savings due to their superior efficiency and innovative design, reducing both energy consumption and operational costs.
ENERGY EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE Suitable for both residential and commercial applications, the heat
pump is available in various sizes, enabling its use in different spaces. AetherLux features revolutionary advancements and the company’s
IQ software with built-in AI-driven optimisation to ensure continuous performance, energy efficiency, and adaptability to the requirements of the home. It also integrates with smart home systems, allowing you to monitor and control your heating and cooling from anywhere. As for its performance, it offers high heat output, the ability to
maintain efficiency in extreme climates, and advanced technology that ensures consistent performance, the company claims. AetherLux uses R32 refrigerant, an environmentally friendly choice
with a low global warming potential. It has also been built with recyclable materials and energy-efficient technology, reducing its environmental footprint. Furthermore, the new heat pump is compatible with most homes
and requires minimal adjustments during installation, the company explains. It is also designed for durability – to provide reliable performance for 15+ years with regular maintenance.
HEAT PUMPS FACTS:
• A heat pump is a smart device that heats and cools your home using the air or ground outside. It replaces the need for a separate furnace and air conditioner, combining both functions into one efficient system.
• Think of a heat pump like a reverse refrigerator: In winter, it pulls heat from outside (yes, even cold air has heat!) and brings it inside to warm your home. In summer, it does the opposite, taking heat from inside your home and releasing it outside to keep you cool.
• Heat pumps cool your home in summer just like an AC, but they also heat your home in winter, which an AC cannot do. • Heat pumps are designed to be more energy-efficient than traditional AC units. • Year-Round Comfort: Instead of needing separate systems, a heat pump does it all.
• Humidity Control: Ensuring comfort and efficiency in harsh climates. • Airflow Efficiency: Verifying that the system maintains consistent airflow despite low temperatures. • Energy Usage: Measuring energy efficiency and operational costs during extreme conditions. Extreme cold environments pose unique challenges for HVAC systems.
By subjecting the AetherLux heat pump to these rigorous tests, the company demonstrated its ability to: Operate reliably in the harshest climates; Maintain energy efficiency and performance consistency; and deliver comfort and value to users in real-world extreme conditions.
