Remeha' s updated hybrid heat pump Elga Ace Monoblock easily connects directly to the central heating standpipe, to the open manifold or to the district heating system with a patented system. This gives more freedom of choice in determining the location of heat pump.
The unit is remarkably quiet, which makes siting even more flexible. This Elga Ace is a monoblock so it does not have an indoor unit anyway. It does have an intelligent control box, but it can be placed in almost any location in the home.
No F-gases certificate required
In a monoblock heat pump, not only the compressor and evaporator are in the outdoor unit, but also the plate exchanger and pump. The refrigerant (R32) therefore remains within the closed circuit in the outdoor unit and does not enter the house. Heat transfer requires a slightly thicker, insulated pipe. This transports the heat using water from outside to inside, where the heat is transported into the central heating system via the central heating stand pipe. Therefore, the installer does not need to have F-gas certification to install these monoblocks.
Extra subsidy through Energy Class A+++
With a COP value A7/W35 up to 5.2, the Elga Ace Monoblock has excellent efficiency. This results in the energy label A+++. Besides the relatively low energy consumption, this has the advantage that users receive an additional subsidy of 225 euros on these appliances, on top of the standard ISDE subsidy amount. The total subsidy can amount to 3,225 euros, which significantly reduces the payback time of this monoblock heat pump.
Familiar with Ace platform
The Elga Ace Monoblock is remarkably quiet. The sound pressure at 1m distance is 47, 50 and 51dB(A), according to EN12102. The pump comes in a capacity of 4, 6 or 8 kW. The heat pump is equipped with OpenTherm control. Thus, this device can also be combined with any brand of central heating boiler, without losing its modulating operation. An installer familiar with the Ace platform will also have no problem working with this hybrid heat pump: who knows one, knows them all. Like central heating equipment in the Ace family, the Elga Ace Monoblock works with the advanced eSmart Inside control system, allowing for quick installation of the pump via the Smart Start app.
