STIEBEL ELTRON at the "Intersolar" in Munich / Market leader presents heat pump innovations

Holzminden / Munich (ots) - First-hand information about new
products and further developments in the field of renewable energy
for heating, ventilation and DHW applications awaits visitors to the
"Intersolar 2009" exhibition from 27 to 29 May 2009 in Munich at
STIEBEL ELTRON's stand. In Hall B2 at stand 220, the experts will be
showing the latest trends where heat pumps are concerned.

World-class athletes like the world champion handball player
Florian Kehrmann and the winner of the Olympic biathlon Michael Greis
depend, like so many people when building a new house, on heat pumps
from STIEBEL ELTRON, which use free and clean energy from the
environment. Because the environment is full of power. With a heat
pump, a large part of this solar energy, stored in the air, water or
ground, can be used for heating or hot water. A system of this type
definitely makes sense in terms of economic efficiency. It is still
possible to obtain energy for heating even when outside temperatures
reach -20 degrees. Calculated over the course of one year, the heat
pump will generally reduce costs for heating energy by up to 50 per
cent or more, as opposed to conventional heating. Where the potential
for savings is this high, the investment costs for a system will have
already been amortised within a few years.

The German market leader will for instance be presenting the new
WPF E brine-water heat pump in Munich.

The new WPF E/cool series of heat pumps from STIEBEL ELTRON is
convincing with the integrated, high-efficiency circulation pumps and
a high level of integration. This saves the engineer fitting the heat
pump many stages of work and as a result both material and time. As
the integral components all match each other, operational safety is
improved and potential errors in installation are ruled out from the
start. Thanks to the integrated high-efficiency pumps, both on the
brine and the heating side, it is possible to increase the efficiency
of the heating system even further.

Another new feature is the high-quality design. It has strikingly
clean and distinct lines. The ergonomic arrangement of the user panel
with the retractable control box underneath makes operation ideal for
all types of users and ensures that installation is quick and without
complications. The casing for the hydraulic lines that is
additionally included in standard delivery is also new and makes sure
that insulation is clean and professional.

The new brine to water heat pump is available in two versions: as
an E version for heating and domestic hot water and as a cool version
for cooling, heating and domestic hot water. Innovative technology, a
high standard of workmanship and distinct design are plus factors
which make the new WPF E and WPF cool series of heat pumps stand out
from the rest.

Visitors can also take a good look at the new WPL 14 HT that
already created quite a stir at the ISH in Frankfurt and was met with
great enthusiasm. If there was no space heating available in existing
buildings as a heat distribution system, this frequently used to pose
a problem when installing heat pumps. Flow temperatures of over 60
degrees, which are needed in some of these older buildings, would
make the use of environmentally friendly heat pump technology for
heating impossible without additional measures. STIEBEL ELTRON now
offers the ideal appliance for use in instances like this too with
the new high-performance WPL 14 HT heat pump: flow temperatures of up
to 75 degrees and a high heating capacity of 12.5 kW at an outside
temperature of -15° make it possible to have monovalent heating
without additional electric heating. In this way a combination with
practically any system for heat distribution, in particular radiators
as well, is feasible. The technical risk for the engineer in
refurbishments with heat pumps is kept to a minimum and the customer
has no need to worry about excessive electricity bills as a result of
direct electrical heating.

Of course, in addition to this, numerous other products can be
examined up close. Needless to say, information will also be provided
about current developments from STIEBEL ELTRON in the field of solar
panels.
