REMKO CMF - DUO
Economical and environmentally-
conscious heating
The burning of fossil-based
energy sources in order to
generate power creates severe
consequences for the environment.
A high percentage of fossil fuels
is also problematic due to the
limited resources of oil and gas
and the price increases resulting
from this. For this reason, many
people today are thinking both
economically and environmentally-
consciously in terms of heating.
The application of heat pump
technology enables both of these
concepts to be combined. It
makes use of the energy which
is permanently available in the air,
water and soil and converts it into
usable heating energy by means
of inputting electrical energy.
Yet in order to generate heat
equivalent to 4kWh, only 1kWh
of electricity is required. The rest
is made available free-of-charge by
the environment.

Heat source
There are essentially three heat
sources that heat pumps can
derive energy from. air, soil and
groundwater. Air heat pumps have
the advantage that air as a source
heat is available everywhere in
unlimited
quantities that can be
used free of charge. A disadvantage
is that the outside air is at its
coldest when the heat requirement
is greatest.
Brine heat pumps extract energy
from the soil. This is undertaken
in serpentine pipe networks
which are laid approx. 1m deep
or placed by means of drilling.
The disadvantage is the large space
requirements
for the serpentine
pipe networks or the high cost of
drilling
. A long-term cooling of
the soil is also a possibility.
Water heat pumps require two
wells
in order to obtain heat from
the groundwater, one supply well
and one dry well. The development
of this source is not possible
everywhere, it is expensive and
requires planning permission.

Intended use
Depending on the model, the
equipment and the additional
fittings with which it is equipped
is only intended to be used as an
air-conditioner for the purpose of
cooling or heating the air in an
enclosed room.
Different or additional use shall not
be classed as intended use. The
manufacturer/supplier assumes no
liability for damages arising from an
unintended use of the equipment.
The user bears the sole risk in such
cases.
Using the equipment as intended
also includes working in accord-
ance with the operating manual
and installation instructions and
complying with the maintenance
requirements.
