Sakura launch new series of Geothermal Heat Pump, “SWS” series, with a capacity range 8~40 Kw to be used for Residential and Light Commercial applications.
The new series is a highly efficient Air Conditioning system, and energy saving as well, to provide cooling/heating effect by using a shallow layer of Geothermal Energy source such as Soil, Subsurface Water, Surface Water and so on. The Ground Surface is an collector of Solar Energy, as much as 47% of such energy reaching the Earth, over 500 times higher the annual energy consumption of human beings living on it.
Another advantage of the Geothermal Energy is its stable temperature throughout the year, in Winter it is higher, and in Summer lower than ambient temperature. It is, thus, much more efficient than any other source available.
By a minimum input of required energy, currently given by Electric Energy so far, the system increase an indoor temperature in Winter time by supplying heat from the Ground, and reduce it in Summer by releasing it into the Ground. Heating, or cooling, capacity of the Ground-sourced energy of 5Kw is measured equivalent to 1Kw electricity.
An experimental test shows the system cut off two-thirds (2/3) of electricity consumption, or a half (1/2) of fuel consumption, when applied to Boiler systems. It is measured in a range of 10 to 25 ℃, with its cooling/heating efficiency 4.8 to 5.5, which is 40% higher than existing Air-sourced Heating Pump. Operation cost is calculated only 50-60% of common Central Air Conditioners currently available in the market place.
Benefit and feature of new Sakura “SWS” series GHP are:
1) Compact - installation space required is less than 1.5m2
2) Higher efficiency / lower operation cost - COP is 4.8~5.5, almost 40%
higher, while operation cost is 40~50% lower, than normal Central Air Conditioners
available.
3) Environmetally friendly ? Reduce boiler operation in Winter, thus, no emission of waste gas, residue or water from such system.
