How does a heat pump function? I The task of a heat pump is to “pump up” heat from a low temperature to a higher temperature. With the energy which is generated by cooling water from 20 °C to 10 °C, the same volume of water can be reheated from 40 °C to 50 °C with a heat pump at another place. I In this way the energy is not lost, because the energy extracted at one place can be returned at another place at a higher temperature. I A refrigerator is an example of a heat pump. The heat that is extracted from the chilled goods at refrigeration temperatures is emitted into the environment at a higher temperature from the rear of the refrigerator.

To use SOLAERA the following preconditions must be met: I Low temperature heating with max 35 °C supply I Minimum collector surface area of 20 - 25 m2 I Minimum tilt of the collectors 60 - 90 °C I Type of construction of the new building according to EnEV standard with max. 10 MWh annual consumption (heating and hot water) I Standing area in the cellar for the energy centre and the combined storage tank approx. 3 m x 1.2 m

Field test 2007 SOLAERA systems will be put into operation in 2007 during field tests within a radius of 100 km of the company sites in Frankfurt am Main and Lörrach (Germany). A marketing campaign throughout Germany is planned for 2008. If you are interested you can fill in a form for planning your solar system (download available on the homepage www.consolar.de). We will be happy to check whether your house is suitable for the SOLAERA system.
