The Arctic Extreme High Temperature Heat Pump can deliver usable water temperatures as high as 80 C or 176 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.
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 75 C. (167F) 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 75C (167F).
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.
It is suitable for houses which have poor insulation or existing old radiator.
Compressor Efficiency 25%
Being the smart heat pumps, KFXRS-101/A perfectly combines eco-friendly R410A refrigerant and advanced new technology of EVI DC inverter to produce 55°C hot water -25°C low temperature condition reducing power consumption and improve the heating capacity.
Hydrophilic Aluminium Finned Evaporator.
The finned heat exchanger is with corrugated copper tubes to greatly improve thermal efficiency, and with hydrophilic coating surface for sufficient defrosting.
The main difference is the output water temperature. A standard heat pump typically maxes out at 130°F (55°C), which is perfect for floor heating but too cool for old radiators. A High Temperature Heat Pump can produce water up to 167°F (75°C), making it a direct replacement for oil, propane, or gas boilers.
No! That is the primary benefit of this system. Because it produces water at 167°F, you can keep your existing cast iron radiators, high-temp baseboards, or fan coils. You save thousands of dollars on renovation costs.
Yes. It is excellent for domestic hot water, especially in commercial settings (like hotels or restaurants) where higher water temperatures are required for sanitation codes and to prevent Legionella bacteria.
It is still much more efficient than a boiler. While a heat pump is most efficient at lower temperatures, the Arctic Extreme still delivers a COP (Coefficient of Performance) of 2.5 to 3.0 in many conditions. This means for every $1 of electricity, you get $2.50 to $3.00 worth of heat.
Yes. The Arctic Extreme is designed for cold climates and utilizes EVI technology to continue extracting heat from the air down to -22°F (-30°C).
