4 Description of the product
4.1 General description
The thermodynamic water heaters in the KALIKO SPLIT range have the
following specifications:
● Floor-standing thermodynamic storage water heater
● Heat pump extracting energy from the outside air
● Display with timer program
● 2.4 kW steatite immersion heater
● Glass-lined tank protected by magnesium anode
● Very thick insulation (0% CFCs).
The domestic hot water tank can be heated by:
● The outdoor unit (Cf fig. 4).
● The immersion heater (electrical back-up - AUTO Mode
and E-heat Mode) (up to 70°C).
4.2 Operating principle
The thermodynamic water heater uses the outside air to produce
domestic hot water.
The refrigerant circuit is a closed circuit in which the R-134a refrigerant
plays the role of an energy carrier.
The heat from the intake air is transferred to the refrigerant in the finned
heat exchanger at a low evaporation temperature.
The refrigerant is drawn in in vapour form by a compressor, which raises
it to a higher pressure and temperature and sends it to the condenser.
In the condenser, the heat extracted in the evaporator and some of the
energy absorbed by the compressor are released into the water.
The refrigerant is depressurised in the expansion valve and then cooled.
The refrigerant fluid can again extract the heat contained in the intake air
from the evaporator.
