Heating, hot water and ventilation - all in one system
Any NIBE heat pump can be combined with a ventilation system to provide you with heating, hot water and ventilation in the same system. Ventilation is a simple concept - used, stale air is extracted from inside the property. This stale air has the heat extracted from it using the ERS (Energy Recovery System). The extracted heat energy is then mixed with cool, fresh air from outside resulting in warm, fresh air inside the property while the cold, stale air is deposited outside.
NIBE ERS systems use mechanical ventilation with heat recovery resulting in an all-in-one heating, hot water, and ventilation system when combined with the heat pump.
Air Source
Any NIBE Air Source heat pump can be combined with an ERS S10 or ERS 20 to create a heating, hot water, and ventilation system. The necessary ductwork would need to be installed to ensure the system operates.
Ground Source
Any NIBE Ground source heat pump can also be combined with an ERS S10 or ERS 20 to create a heating, hot water, and ventilation system. The necessary ductwork would need to be installed to ensure the system operates.
Exhaust Air
NIBE Exhaust Air heat pumps use ventilation as a core principle to operate. Combination of the refrigeration cycle and the ventilation process forms the foundation for how the heat pump operates. As such, exhaust air heat pumps have ventilation built into the system and don't require an extra unit such as the ERS.
NIBE ERS S10
- Heat recovery ventilation unit with high temperature efficiency and low energy consumption.
- Together with the NIBE ground source or air/water s-series heat pump, it provides an integrated solution in houses with balanced ventilation.
- Easy to control and part of your smart home in combination with a NIBE heat pump.
NIBE ERS 20
- Provides a complete exhaust and supply air solutions for NIBE ground or air source heat pumps.
- Easily controlled by the heat pump
- Up to 92% efficiency
How heat pumps can boost indoor air quality
In the UK, the average person spends 92% of their time indoors. This is why indoor air quality matters and should be an important consideration for any homeowner.
Household air pollution like particulate matter and allergens can worsen symptoms of asthma and other respiratory conditions. A ventilation system in combination with a heat pump can help to solve this.
