Size reduction
The buffer size is typically 50% smaller compared to a standard buffer-tank, due to fast regeneration of the upper part of the buffer during hot water draw-off peaks.
More efficient
Smaller buffer-size, enhanced stratification and zoned charging by the heat pump reduce the electricity consumption of your heat pump by over 10%.
Legionella safe
On-demand generation of potable hot water (no potable hot water stored) in combination with smart circulation temperature control provide the highest level of legionella safety.
The Conico Hot Water System is a compact, safe and efficient solution for providing hot water from your heat pump system. Rather than storing the potable hot water itself, heat is buffered in the system water used by the heat pump, and potable hot water is generated on-demand using a plate heat exchanger, making the system inherently legionella-safe. The heat is buffered in our Turbo-Heat-Buffer, which uses a clever combination of self-actuating valves to divide the heat buffer into multiple zones, which typically doubles the effective buffer capacity, and improves the system efficiency by over 10%.
1. Integrated into the tank
The Turbo-Heat-Buffer features a novel approach to integrate Thermo-Differential Valves and thermostatic valves inside the tank, using rails welded onto the inside wall of the buffer tank onto which the valves are mounted, and 2 access flanges for installing the valves. The system is factory-assembled, designed to withstand the stresses of transport, and the valves are still fully accessible after the system is installed.
2. TDV working principle
The Turbo-Heat-Buffer features Conico Valves' patented Thermo-Differential Valve technology, first introduced in 2012. This patented self-actuating valve utilizes small temperature differences to direct the inflow to the most appropriate zone in the buffer tank. This allows zones of different temperatures to co-exist within the buffer, with inflows directed automatically to the correct zone, using only a single inlet in the buffer tank.
3. Compact and efficient buffer tank
The Conico Hot Water System boosts heat-pump efficiency and hot water system buffer capacity using the Turbo-Heat-Buffer. It features automatic zoned charging by the heat pump, through a combination of Thermo-Differential Valves and a new thermostatic valve in the Turbo-Heat-Buffer. The zoned charging by the heat pump turbo-charges the regeneration of the buffer, increasing effective buffer capacity by typically 100% compared to a standard tank.
