Clivet, the Italian company specialised in air conditioning and air handling heat pump systems, present the Enhanced Hydronic System, evolving central plant design to the best life-cycle saving in commercial buildings.
Keeping optimal comfort conditions within buildings results in significant capital and operating cost. This is even enhanced in the commercial sector, due to the higher range of challenging constraints such as high space loads, simultaneous cooling and heating, outdoor air management and domestic hot water, if any.
In this sector central plants are probably the most popular HVAC design.
Clivet evolve this solution and present Clivet Enhanced Hydronic System, the standardised, industrial comfort solution able to fit individual requirements of the different commercial buildings.
Its modular design provides the most suitable, specialised and efficient answer to comfort requirements of shopping centres, offices, hotels and restaurants, entertainment and hospitals, meeting the different needs related to their special functions.
CLIVET Enhanced Hydronic System is composed by 3 basic components:
– ZEPHIR3 stand-alone system for supply and exhaust air management with thermodynamic energy recovery, full outdoor air operation, total humidity and automatic temperature control, electronic filtration able to keep 99% pure air
– SPINchiller3 air cooled or water cooled multi scroll heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water production
– ELFOspace cased and uncased fancoils with DC brushless motors for heating and cooling distribution with a saving of 60% compared to traditional fancoils
The Enhanced Hydronic System from Clivet, based on high efficiency technology of reversible heat pump, always proves to be more beneficial than traditional solutions, regardless the climatic profile, heat recovery technology, cooling technology, heating technology.
The dynamic year-round analysis on a typical multi-level office building application resulted in:
· reduced energy consumption thanks to the autonomy of ZEPHIR3 system for Primary Air treatment to produce heat and cooling capacity (no pumping, no heat loss in piping)
· low power input for ventilation using the thermodynamic recovery: reduction of over 50% compared to the traditional solution
· high part-load efficiency of heat pump technology using SPINchiller3 modular multi scroll
· capability to satisfy opposite loads, between the room load and primary air, without using more expensive equipment such as multifunction (4-pipe) units
· lower energy cost in year-round operation, with overall capital cost lower than traditional solution in most projects
Those benefits apply in many other residential, commercial and industrial applications, resulting effective also with different local system type.
