Absorption Heat Pumps ensure High Efficiency

Written by Robur Corporation | Nov 28, 2023 2:03:32 PM

Compared to Condensing Boiler system the Robur units can increase overall average building heating efficiency by approximately 40%; compared to High Efficiency electric heat pumps it can increase the efficiency by approximately 35%.

GAHP units combine all the advantages of the two most common heating technologies.

The Robur Gas Absorption Heat Pumps utilize natural gas as the primary energy source supplying hot water up to 140 °F. Suitable for heating systems where the most efficient gas appliance is required with gas efficiencies at rated conditions of 129%. These units are ideal for full load heating needs or for raising the average efficiency of a traditional boiler system.

Condensing boiler advantages

  • Environmentally friendly using natural gas
  • DHW supply
  • Only 1/10 of electricity consumption in comparison to electrical heat pumps
  • Ideal integration into existing ornew installations
  • High Reliability
  • Easy Maintenance
  • No use of Harmful Refrigerants

Electric heat pump advantages

  • Use of renewable energies
  • Cooling supply
  • No need of mechanical room

Advantages in using Robur GAHP

Compared to Condensing boiler system the Robur units can increase overall average building heating efficiencies by approximately 40%.

Compared to High Efficiency electric heat pumps the Robur units can increase overall average building heating efficiencies by approximately 35% while also reducing Electrical Energy usage by as much as 80%.
