There is a difference between just placing a heat pump outside and designing it specifically for that purpose.
In the early 2000s, outdoor air-water heat pumps started to become a more popular alternative to indoor solutions. The reasons for this success were the increasing efficiency, easiness of installation and space saving in the house.
The disadvantages were the noise produced by the significant amount of air moved around the evaporator and the aethetically simple design. The tall boxes – sometimes even with silencers attached, to reduce the noise – were very intrusive and nearly impossible to fit into the architecture and landscape surrounding them.
So the requirements we gave our R&D team were clear – Instead of just adapting an indoor air water heat pump to an outdoor positioning, we needed a heat pump designed specifically for outdoor use: Extremely silent and efficient but still compact and able to blend into its environment.
Our R&D team knew, that in order to reduce noise they had to use a much larger evaporator – the part of the heat pump that extracts the energy from the air passing through the fins.
To fulfill the compact dimension requirement, instead of the flat evaporator that heat pumps usually use, the idea was to design the evaporator in a circular shape.
The result was an unusual looking heat pump, with a small footprint and less height. It was definitely a technological breakthrough, but we were missing a convincing design.
After an online market research with home owners on different design options, the industrial design office Weinberg & Ruf started working on their first proposals.
With their team of designers, constructors and graphic artists – and after many different iterations – they were able to create the timeless, unique and non intrusive design that conveys value and advanced technology.
The compact and non-intrusive design, as well as its stainless steel casing make the AEROTOP® SG blend seamlessly into its environment.
What makes a design icon? We think it’s the result of a smart idea that solves a real problem with no trade off.
The unit had to meet all three core requirements in equal measure – minimum noise emissions, maximum efficiency and an unobtrusive design.
In terms of functionality, the AEROTOP® SG impresses with exactly these properties – without compromise.
The design follows exactly this approach and thus carries to the outside what the device is about on the inside.
And that, for us, is what makes a design icon: timeless, performing and high-quality – a perfect complement for the highest architectural standards.
Understatement is when something is there and yet doesn‘t stand out. Just like your new heat pump.
The AEROTOP® SG12 achieves 46 dB(A) sound pressure in reduced night mode at a distance of 1m (when mounted directly at house wall). After 4m it is only 35 dB(A), so noise protection guidelines are complied with and therefore the installation in a pure residential area is possible without any difficulties.
To heat a single-family house with an air-water heat pump, up to 6,000 m³ of air per hour must flow through the evaporator via the fan. This air flow can produce audible noise. In the AEROTOP® SG, however, noise is reduced to a minimum by three basic details.
At an outside temperature of -7°C and a supply temperature of 35° C, the AEROTOP® SG delivers up to 14.1 kW of power, depending on the model.
SCOP stands for the seasonal coefficient of performance of the unit. The value shows the factor of energy generated per 1 kWh of supplied electricity annualy.
The AEROTOP® SG allows you to maintain high flow temperatures even when it gets cold outside. So even at -10°C outside temperatures, flow temperature of 60°C can be provided.
AEROTOP® SG regulates the heat output continuously, so the fan speed and compressor adapt to the current demand automatically. This ensures 100% comfort with efficient operation and reduces on/off cycles.
With a supply temperature of up to 60°C, the increased temperature requirements of common radiator heating systems in existing buildings are also met.

During operation of an air-to-water heat pump, the evaporator on the air intake side can freeze up, depending on the weather conditions. This layer of ice must be defrosted regularly and the resulting condensation, up to 50 litres per day, must be drained. There are various options for draining condensation:
A = Load-bearing base, B = Antifreeze (compacted crushed stone), C = Ground, D = Condensate drain hose, E = Condensate drain pipe, F = Syphon, G = Sewerage drain
A = Load-bearing base, B = Antifreeze (compacted crushed stone), C = Ground, D = Condensate drain hose, E = Condensate drain pipe, F = Gravel for seepage of condensate
with an integrated room temperature sensor for one or two heating circuits. The unit features an attractive design and built-in display lighting, allowing for easy operation by the user. From the living space, the operating mode and temperature settings can be adjusted, and all essential heating information can be read. This ensures optimal comfort with maximum energy savings.

Suitable for versatile applications, especially for system separation in older heating systems, such as underfloor heating.
There are many similarities between a heat pump system and one with an alternative heat generator, such as an oil, gas, or pellet boiler. The main difference is that a heat pump is installed outside the property, while a boiler is traditionally installed inside a property. The diagrams below show two simplified systems, which both provide heating and domestic hot water.
If the volume of water in a heating system is relatively small, a buffer tank helps to balance the system and ensure the heat pump works efficiently. The buffer tank also facilitates the heat pump's defrost cycle without taking heat from the system's heat emitters.
The buffer in this system is supplying heat to the heating circuit, as well as a fresh water station. Plus, in summer, solar PV panels can provide energy to the buffer, which can be used for domestic hot water.
