Warmth in 3 Steps
Altherma's air-to-water heat pump boiler quickly creates an optimal room temperature for you and your family. You enjoy a comfortably warm environment in just 3 steps:
• The heat pump extracts free low temperature heat from the outside air.
• The system raises the temperature of the recovered heat.
• The greater warmth is then distributed throughout your home via heating emitters.

Without flames or fumes, there is no need for a chimney or constant ventilation in the room where the Altherma indoor unit is installed.
Flexible Configurations
Altherma can be configured for use in both new and refurbishment applications, and connects to standard low temperature radiators, under floor heating or fan coil units. If you already have a heating system, there is no need to change it all.

Absolutely Safe
Altherma works without oil, gas or other hazardous substances – reducing potential risk that goes together. Moreover, you don't need a gas connection or a fuel tank. No risk of intoxication, smell or pollution from leaking tanks.
Outdoor units
Altherma uses a natural source of energy. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air and raises its temperature to a level of high enough to supply heating. This heat is then transferred to the indoor unit through cooling agent pipes (thus, the additional advantage is that the pipes can never freeze. The compact outdoor unit is easily installed and, as no drilling or excavation work is required, it can also be installed in flats and apartments.
The outdoor unit comes in two ranges, 6, 7 & 8 kW and 11, 14 &16 kW (single phase and three phase).This reversible air/water heat pump contains an inverter controlled compressor. The inverter system constantly maintains the ambient temperature, which results in an energy consumption of 30% compared to a traditional on/off system.
Indoor units
The indoor unit heats the water that circulates through low temperature radiators, floor heating systems or fan coil unit and also provide domestic hot water. The indoor unit exists in two versions, and each version exists in two capacities. The EKHBH is for heating only and the EKHBX is for heating and cooling.
Domestic hot water tank
The water inside the storage tank is primarily warmed up by thermal energy from the outside air, thanks to a heat exchanger connected to the heat pump. An additional electrical heating element in the domestic water tank can take care of extra heat required in the shower, tub or sink. At necessary intervals the water is automatically heated to 70°C to prevent bacteria growth. With Altherma you can enjoy delightfully warm and perfectly safe water at all times. Depending on your daily consumption of hot water, Altherma domestic hot water tanks are available in three different sizes, with the largest one being the most efficient.
