Functioning of the Integrated BES System
In order to store excess energy that is solar-generated in the collectors, the ground beneath the building is used as a geothermal store for excess energy during the summer months. In times without sufficient solar output the heat pump absorbs the required heat from the geothermal store. Vertical geothermal probes present an alternative to this arrangement.
The IS-EnergyRouter forms the interface for coupling of solar collectors, heat pump, geothermal store and storage tanks for optimum distribution of the available energy.
The IS-heat pumps were developed specifically for heat sources. They are coupled directly with the solar collectors, thus increasing the efficiency of the system significantly. Now even temperatures below 30 °C can be utilized - conventional solar systems cannot make use of this low temperature range, and therefore work far less efficiently. Heat pumps with active cooling provided cool the building via cold water buffer and area heating/cooling systems.
For economically viable use of solar generated energy, low temperature heating surfaces in the form of floor and/or wall heating are required. The necessary temperatures are provided by the system all year round.
Thermoactive component systems (TABS) utilize either solar energy or can be integrated into the system, for direct heating or cooling of the room.
Our Systems Reduce Your Costs!
With an IS-EnergyRouterSystem you not only purchase a highly efficient and perfectly harmonized energy system, but you also decide in favor of a high degree of independence from fossil fuels and their price increases for the upcoming decades.
Energy Distribution
Energy Storage
The IS-Geothermal Store is employed in combination with solar thermal energy and a heat pump. In summer, the IS-Geothermal Store is charged with excess solar thermal energy from the solar collectors, which otherwise would not be utilized, at all. In case of active cooling provided during the summer months, the exhaust heat of the building is stored in the geothermal store, as well. During the heating period, the stored energy is raised to the required temperature level for heating and supplied to the heating surfaces.
Energy Transmission
Energy Generation
The heat pump housing is characterised by its very low operating noise as well as its compact and service-friendly construction. Due to the integral refrigeration cycle reversal, the heat pump can also be used for cooling, if required. Heating and cooling with one device only!
The increase in coefficient of performance (COP) as well as the avoidance of cooling medium heavily hazardous to the environment are two essential criteria considered in the design of the systems. The IS-heat pumps can be directly coupled with solar-thermal systems, thus increasing the efficiency of the system significantly.
