Economical replacement of high-efficiency boiler<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe highlight of the day was the SuperHybrid heat pump from Cooll, and the timing was perfect: exactly three working days before the government gave hybrid heat pumps a strong push in the right direction with the policy goal of mandatory replacement of high-efficiency boilers by 2026). Stefan van Uffelen, former director of the Dutch Green Building Council and known for the BREEAM label, explained that he has been working on the development of this innovative heat pump since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SuperHybrid is a lightweight and compact gas-fired thermal heat pump based on space-age technology. The device is intended as a simple and economical replacement for the high-efficiency boiler, over 400,000 of which are still sold every year. The SuperHybrid uses much less electricity than the traditional heat pump, has no outdoor unit or moving parts, makes virtually no noise and uses 30 to 50% less gas than the traditional high-efficiency boiler. Rather than burning gas to heat the home, in this unit the gas power drives the heat pump cycle. The required compression of the refrigerant is not performed by an electromechanical compressor, but by an adsorption compressor. This requires heat, which is supplied by the gas burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe device can be simply connected to the existing pipes and also supplies high-temperature heating and hot water. And this heat pump is already configured to handle biogas or hydrogen gas, so it\u2019s prepared for the day when natural gas is ultimately phased out. But at today\u2019s gas prices, Van Uffelen explained, running the SuperHybrid on hydrogen can save you money right now. A connection tp a heat pump system, solar collectors or PV panels is also an option, and this would increase the efficiency even further. The price tag for the unit is expected to fall below 5,000 euros by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SuperHybrid will not place any additional burden on the electricity grid and seems an ideal choice for any poorly insulated housing estate. \u201cMy heart gets racing when I think about finding a solution for this,\u201d says Van Uffeleln. \u201cThere are already great solutions for the wealthy, but the big challenge is to be found in the existing homes of ordinary people who are suffering from energy poverty.\u201d The SuperHybrid is not suitable for newer buildings, because these are no longer being equipped with a gas connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cooll cooperates with various boiler manufacturers and installers and does not sell the technology exclusively to one party. The first pilot setup has already been completed in Kampen, and the first SuperHybrids are expected to be sold by external manufacturers and dealers in 2025. All in all, it\u2019s a solution that everyone in the field can benefit from and, judging by the reactions in the room, many went home with a new, positive outlook on the future of their own homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
