Ground source heat pumps

Ecoforest offers a wide range of models ranging from 1 kW to 600 kW, each incorporating variable speed Inverter compressors. The Inverter regulates the speed of the compressor, and thanks to ecoGEO+ control strategies, the heat pump always adapts its operation to the precise needs of the comfort zone. This allows for a more effective use of the energy consumed, contributing only the energy that the building demands at each moment, wasting nothing.

The ecoGEO+ heat pumps allows the user to increase savings substantially, not only due to the high efficiency with which they operate in their day to day, but thanks to the technology and experience of Ecoforest. The installation of these ground source heat pumps is much simpler, more compact and more economical than other heat pumps on the market, making it possible to dispense with some of the components that most heat pumps require to be installed externally.

The ground source heat pump extracts energy from the ground or water for heating, cooling and domestic hot water production. The ground source heat pump uses the thermodynamic cycle to provide these different services, for heating it extracts heat from the ground or water and introduces this heat into the building, and for cooling it extracts heat from the building and transports it to the ground or water source.

Ground source systems have no visual or acoustic impact. Ground source installations require a higher initial investment than air source systems, due to the work associated with the collection circuit. On the other hand, ground source heat pumps have better efficiency than air source heat pumps. This allows for higher energy savings, making ground-source heat pumps more cost-effective in the long run.

The HTR (High Temperature Recovery) system consists of a heat recovery unit that recovers the thermal energy discharged by the compressor at high temperature when the unit is producing heating or cooling.

Through this heat recovery it is possible to produce domestic hot water up to 70ºC. This unique technology also allows the simultaneous production of DHW and heating or DHW and cooling, achieving considerably higher efficiencies than conventional heat pumps, as the production of hot water is done “for free” by recovering the high temperature at the compressor discharge.

This, together with their Inverter technology and Ecoforest control strategies, makes the ecoGEO+ Basic & Compact units the most efficient ground source heat pumps on the market.
