Using EVI technology (Enhanced Vapour Injection), the first stage compressor is able to greatly reduce the temperature of the freon entering the evaporator. A lower freon temperature means the system can extract more energy from the air at a lower temperature. Our units work in weather as cold as -30C /-22F.
High temp Output – 85C/185F
Works down to -30c/-22F

A+ Rating for Energy Savings
Using a two-stage compression cycle, the Arctic Extreme High Temperature Heat Pump can deliver usable water temperatures as high as 85 C or 185 F. This high temperature Heat Pump can be used where most other heat pumps can’t deliver, such as direct boiler replacement or for high temperature domestic hot water. The Arctic Extreme can operate in temperatures as low as -30 C/ -22 F while still producing energy savings that exceed traditional electric boilers.
How it works
The operating temperatures of Heat Pumps are limited to the type of freon used. R410a and R32 can boil (evaporate) at temperatures as low as -45 C (-49F). This low boil point allows them to extract heat from very cold air temperatures. However, these freons are limited on the hot side to around 55 C (132 F). Other Freons can operate at a much high temperature but fail to operate in cold temperatures. Introducing the Arctic Extreme, North America’s only high temperature EVI heat pump! By using two compression cycles, each with a different Freon, we are able to boost the operating temperatures as high as 85 C. (185F) while still being able to operate at very cold temperatures.
Step 1 - Used our standard EVI Heat Pump to Extract the energy from cold air
Step 2 - Instead of transferring the energy to the Hydronic Loop, the Energy is transferred through a Heat Exchanger to second refrigeration loop.
Step 3 - Uses R-134a to raise the refrigerant temperature as high as 85C (185F)
