Sustainability is not only a pressing issue, but also a crucial one today. It’s not just about reducing pollution, but also because we’ve seen and experienced the effects of climate change. The use of clean energy and environmentally friendly options is essential, as is finding reliable and effective options to meet our comfort needs. Such is the case with the aerothermal system, which we’ll discuss on this occasion.
What is aerothermal energy?
It’s interesting to know what aerothermal energy is, because it’s a system that provides heating during colder seasons, as well as air conditioning during warmer months. It even provides hot water all the time, thanks to the fact that it extracts ambient energy using a thermodynamic cycle. Furthermore, it’s considered a clean and sustainable energy source.
How does aerothermal energy work?
Through a thermodynamic cycle that uses a refrigerant gas compressed at very low temperatures, heat is extracted from the external environment. This will depend on the equipment used, as well as its energy rating. If the equipment has an efficiency of 4.5, this translates to 4.5 kW (heating power) per kW of electrical energy consumed. This involves components such as a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator.
So, going back to what I said earlier, this would translate to approximately 80% free energy. That’s why aerothermal energy is known as a highly efficient heating system. This is particularly important because, for example, in Europe, the final energy demand for heating and hot water accounts for 50%.
Advantages of aerothermal energy
- Efficient and cost-effective: Compared to traditional heating systems, geothermal energy consumes less energy (kWh) and is much more economical.
- Low maintenance: It requires no fuel or specialized maintenance, making it as easy to use as any other household appliance.
- Renewable and sustainable energy: Thanks to aerothermal energy, there are fewer emissions and energy consumption. It is even considered renewable according to the CTE (Technical Building Code) and the SDGs. It is sustainable according to the EU and produces no combustion or waste.
- Simple installation and good air quality: Installed by qualified personnel, it eliminates emissions of nitrogen and sulfur oxide particles.
- Low-cost energy: Instead of paying high gas or fossil fuel bills, you can use the energy provided by aerothermal energy, including air conditioning and hot water. And you’ll see it reflected in your electricity bill. There are even tax incentives for this system. Over time, your initial investment will be amortized, making the installation of an aerothermal system a worthwhile investment.
