A Revolution in Heat Pump NewNew Generation Generation In-line In-line Heat Water Heater Design PumpUnderfloor Water Heater Heat SystemsPumps by PB 1 MAGNUS In-line design, a revolution in heat pump water heater solutions. The future is here, MAGNUS in-line design is revolutionising the way heat pump water heaters are applied. Through adapting an integrated whole system design ethos MAGNUS solutions deliver comfort and Designed for Cost convenience that is more cost effective, efficient and Effectiveness extremely reliable. MAGNUS In-line systems are designed to significantly reduce the installed system cost compared with traditional systems. In-line design delivers leaving water at the right temperature required for the application and has lower water flow rates. This eliminates the traditional requirement for water storage tanks, larger pumps and larger piping. 2 Designed for Better Designed to Operate Performance Reliably, Longer MAGNUS In-line system technology MAGNUS In-line systems are low allows for substantial efficiency gains maintenance, with low service over traditional installations. This is requirements. Its ThermoShell® heat achieved through a precise control of exchanger, unlike traditional heat heated water supply for optimised exchangers, are fouling resistant. Also, heat absorption by the application. the advanced unit controller combined As the heating load of the application with application specific design is met the MAGNUS heat pump uniquely enables the compressor to water heater reduces energy input constantly operate within its design and increases in efficiency. limits improving unit life. 2 3 Heat pumps, the best option Heat pump underfloor heating 9 Whole of house heating, control temperatures for individual zones 9 Even heat distribution, no cold spots and uncomfortable airflow 9 Silent with no noise generated in the heated indoor space 9 Enhanced aesthetics, no unsightly diffusers or bulky fixed heaters 9 Environmentally friendly heating option with lowest CO2 emissions 9 Heat pumps are the most cost effective & efficient heating technology 9 MAGNUS is the most cost effective and efficient underfloor system Heat pump water heater efficiency A heat pump water heater is the most efficient form of heating as it is able to turn one unit of input power into four units of output power making it 400% efficient under typical operating conditions. Gas is typically only 70-80% efficient while electricity is only 100% efficient, so even though the initial cost may be higher for a heat pump system the very low cost of operation means the system is the most cost effective option. 4 kW heat energy output 3 kW free heat 1 kW electrical energy from power input environment Comparative energy input and output for various heating technologies. input Heat Pump output input Electric Heater output input Gas Heating output 4 MAGNUS, the best heat pump system Inefficient conventional heat pump system design Conventional underfloor heat pump system design is inefficient. Situated between the heat pump and underfloor network is a buffer tank which must be heated so water can be supplied to the underfloor tubing. Because returning cooled water mixes with the heated water the tank must be heated to a higher temperature than the underfloor requires. This continual mixing and the need for a higher buffer tank temperature makes the system inefficient as the heat pump must operate for longer and at a higher power input than ideally required. Heat pump operates in an on/off fashion with eated ater ot eated water ot high power input for to underfloor longer and more often than ideally needed Buffer water tank required Mixing of heated Higher buffer tank and cooled water temperature needed cools the tank so than the underfloor further heating is requires - increases mixing required - increases power input power input Larger ies ms reired Cooled water retrning Cooler water in from underfloor Conventional Buffer Tank Underfloor System Efficient MAGNUS In-line system design MAGNUS In-line systems are designed to directly provide water at the right temperature required by the underfloor system; conventional heat pumps are not able to do this. Unlike conventional underfloor heat pumps, MAGNUS In-line underfloor heat pumps are specifically designed for underfloor heating to maximise efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Conventional fixed speed (and inverter) buffer tank systems are less efficient as they must operate longer and with higher energy input than ideally required.

Efficient inverter compressor control In any heat pump system the compressor consumes the majority of the power. Conventional on/off full speed and inverter compressor buffer tank systems must operate longer and at higher speeds because of the mixing of cooled and heated water in the buffer tank. MAGNUS In-line systems take full advantage of their inverter compressors by significantly reducing input power as the floor warms. Non-fouling ThermoShell® technology Heat pump water heaters have at their core a refrigerant to water heat exchanger and its performance is critical to the overall performance of the system. Conventional heat exchanger designs are highly prone to fouling over time which reduces performance and greatly shortens the life of the system. MAGNUS In-line units feature highly efficient innovative ThermoShell® technology heat exchangers which are fouling resistant guaranteeing the same performance year after year. Smart efficient variable speed pumps MAGNUS In-line underfloor systems only require a single small highly efficient variable speed pump, these Class A pumps feature an EC motor which reduces energy use by around 50%. Conventional systems have high water flow rates so require two large costly pumps to run the system.
