The new Thermino hp range is currently compatible with leading heat pumps from Vaillant, Daikin, Kensa and Samsung, with more coming soon. Thermino e replaces direct cylinders that are primarily electrically heated and Thermino i replaces indirect hot water tanks with a backup immersion heater. Models optimised for solar PV self-consumption with combi boilers, system boilers and heat pumps are available.
Sunamp designs and manufactures compact heat batteries based on its patented Plentigrade high performance thermal storage technology platform. The new Thermino range contains a new and improved Plentigrade P58 phase change material (PCM) formulation with greater energy density to deliver even more hot water from thermal batteries that are up to four times smaller than equivalent hot water cylinders.
Like other Sunamp products, Thermino thermal storage is easy to install, requires no mandatory routine maintenance, helps to overcome the intermittency issues of renewable energy and lowers carbon emissions. Thermino heat batteries can be charged by air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, photovoltaics (PV), grid electricity and boilers. The products have been further optimized for use with heat pumps, including significantly reduced pressure drops (up to 70% lower).
Sunamp chief executive Andrew Bissell said:
“The new Thermino range is super-compact, easy to install and has a key role to play in the electrification of heat. To tackle climate change, we need to change how we heat our buildings and move away from burning fossil fuels. Thermino is the perfect partner and an enabler for renewable energy systems, especially where space in the home is at a premium.”
Sunamp is active in 17 countries worldwide and has sold over 15,000 heat batteries into the European residential market, counting some of the UK’s leading housing associations among its customers.
