Understanding Aerothermal Systems
Overview of Aerothermal Heating and Cooling
- Aerothermal systems are recognized as one of the most cost-effective and reliable heating and cooling solutions available today, leading to increased interest from families for both new constructions and energy modernization of existing homes.
- Despite the significant advantages of aerothermal technology, potential users often have questions, particularly regarding which type to install: monoblock or biblock systems.
Types of Aerothermal Systems
Monoblock System
- The monoblock system consists of a single unit located outside the home that contains all refrigeration circuits. It does not include an interior unit but requires a separate hot water accumulator (ACS).
- A typical 200-liter accumulator has dimensions around 60 cm in diameter and 140 cm in height, designed primarily for indoor use to minimize energy loss; however, outdoor models with good insulation are also available.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Monoblock
- Advantages:
- Lower installation costs.
- No need for interior space usage.
- Simplified installation without refrigeration connections between units.
- Disadvantages:
- Lacks an internal unit requiring a separate ACS accumulator.
- Requires more exterior space due to being a single unit.
Biblock System
- The biblock system comprises two separate units: one external (ventilator) and one internal (refrigeration unit). This setup necessitates integrated refrigeration connections within the house.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Biblock
- Advantages:
- Typically integrates ACS within the internal unit, reducing noise since the ventilator operates outside.
- Allows greater distance between units due to refrigeration installation, enhancing performance.
- Disadvantages:
- Occupies both interior and exterior space.
- Generally incurs higher installation costs compared to monoblock systems.
Recommendations on System Selection
- After evaluating both systems' advantages and disadvantages, biblock systems generally offer superior performance due to reduced energy losses from having critical components indoors.
- However, if space is limited, monoblock remains a viable option. Both types utilize aerothermal principles effectively for heating, cooling, and hot water production with up to an 80% energy savings.
