Previously, the house was heated with an electric boiler. The system worked properly, however, winter electricity bills were significant, because the boiler consumes a lot of energy. In addition, the lack of flexible control over temperature conditions made this solution not always convenient for owners.
After analyzing the heat loss of the house, the state of insulation and the length of existing communications, it was decided to switch to a modern and energy-efficient solution - installing an air source heat pump Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI.
Why Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI?
Model Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI is an air-to-water inverter heat pump, characterized by high performance even at low temperatures. Thanks to EVI technology (Enhanced Vapor Injection), it can work effectively in temperatures down to -30°C, which makes it an ideal choice for the climate of the Kyiv region.
Key advantages of this model:
- High conversion rate (COP) – an electric boiler is several times more efficient.
- Inverter technology – smooth power control, Quiet operation and energy saving.
- Compatible with warm system and radiator heating.
- Modern refrigerant R32 – environmental friendliness and high efficiency.
1. Installation of the Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI heat pump
After the preparatory work and analysis of the existing heating system, we proceeded directly to the installation of the heat pump.
The Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI external unit was installed next to the house on a special metal frame, raised above ground level to protect from snow and precipitation. To reduce vibrations and ensure quiet operation, the equipment used anti-vibration resistance. This guarantees free air circulation around the unit and safe operation even in winter.
Insulated pipelines were laid from the outdoor unit, passing through a prepared hole in the wall and connected to the hydraulic module in the boiler room. An additional drainage system is equipped to remove condensate, prevents ice formation while the pump is operating in heating mode.
2. Installation of a hydraulic engine
The heat pump hydraulic module was installed in the boiler house, where the electric boiler used to work. Thanks to its compact size, it fits seamlessly into the existing space and did not require additional redevelopment.
The main task of the hydromodule is to transfer thermal energy from the external unit to the heating system of the house. It was connected because of the buffer tank, which was already installed previously and used with an electric boiler. This integration allowed us to save money and make the most efficient use of existing infrastructure.
Special attention was paid to the automation system. The hydraulic module is equipped with a controller, allowing you to adjust the temperature, manage operating modes and monitor efficiency in real time. This ensures complete autonomy of the system and comfort for residents without the need for constant manual intervention.
3. Connection to the DHW tank and buffer tank
The heat pump hydraulic module is connected simultaneously to the buffer tank and the indirect heating boiler. The buffer tank is used to stabilize the operation of the heating system - it accumulates coolant and ensures its uniform supply to the circuits of radiators or heated floors. A circulation pump is connected to the buffer, pumping water through the system, maintaining stable pressure and temperature.
The second tank is an indirect heating boiler for hot water supply. It contains a heat exchanger, through which the coolant from the hydraulic module passes, heating water for domestic needs. The system automation is configured like this, that, if necessary, the hot water boiler is heated first, and only then the heat goes to heating through a buffer tank.
Additionally, an expansion tank is integrated into the system, compensating for pressure changes when heating or cooling the coolant. This scheme allows you to simultaneously provide the building with heat and hot water., reduce the load on the heat pump compressor and improve overall energy efficiency.
4. Installing stabilizers to protect the heat pump
To protect the heating system and all household appliances in the house, a three-phase set of Elex Hertz voltage stabilizers is installed - one for each phase. This decision was not chosen by chance, After all, power surges quite often occur in rural networks, phase imbalances or low performance, which can negatively affect the operation of the heat pump, pumping groups, electronics and other consumers.
Elex Hertz stabilizers are known for their high voltage equalization accuracy, quick response to changes and reliability in long-term operation. Each phase is connected separately, thanks to which it was possible to achieve maximum stability of the system even with significant fluctuations in the network. In case of critical voltage deviations, the stabilizers automatically turn off the power, which provides an additional level of protection for equipment.
Thus, the use of three Elex Hertz stabilizers guarantees stable operation of the Raymer heat pump, pumps, automation and all electronics at home. This increases the reliability of the heating system, extends the life of equipment and allows owners to be confident in the safety of investments in modern energy-efficient technologies.
Advantages of the new generation Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI heat pump
The Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI heat pump has the power 15 kW, making it ideal for efficiently heating rooms up to 120 sq.m. It provides significant energy savings of up to 80% compared to traditional heating systems, which reduces heating costs.
Using green energy, this heat pump helps reduce CO2 emissions and has a positive impact on the environment.
Inverter compressor and Enhanced Vapor Injection technology (EVI)
Inverter technology allows you to adjust the pump power depending on demand, providing stable and efficient heating of the room. Thanks Enhanced Vapor Injection technology (EVI), The heat pump can operate at low temperatures down to -30 °C, which expands the possibilities of use in different climatic conditions.
New black design for better heat absorption
New design in black, as a result of the latest developments and research in the field of heating equipment for better absorption of heat from the environment, makes the Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI heat pump the best choice among other heating systems.
Black surfaces are less susceptible to visible dirt, dust and scratches compared to white or light-colored surfaces. This reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance of the device, which is user friendly.
Black has better heat absorption ability, which can be useful for outdoor units of heat pumps in the cold season. This helps prevent icing and improves operating efficiency..
Remote control
Built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to control the heat pump from a distance. Wherever you are, you can turn on/off the heat pump, and also track its performance with access to the Internet.
The convenience of this function is that, that even being on a trip, you can turn on and set the heating or cooling operation in advance, and enjoy a comfortable temperature in the house upon arrival, without waiting for the system to work at full capacity.
Benefits of installing Raymer RAY-15DS2-EVI for the customer
Installing a heat pump brings a number of important benefits to the customer:
Saving on energy consumption: Heat pumps use minimal electricity to convert heat from the air or ground. This allows you to significantly reduce heating costs compared to traditional electric boilers or gas boilers.
