The Italian manufacturer said its new Fullness heat pump system has a coefficient of performance of 2.8 and a seasonal energy efficiency ratio of 3.79.
Italian heat pump manufacturer Clivet, part of China-based electrical appliances company Midea, has launched a new residential air-to-air heat pump system designed for single-family and multi-family homes.
According to the company, the new all-in-one heat pump does not require an outdoor unit as it is designed to replace traditional multi-component systems with a single compact indoor unit.
The product, called Fullness, offers a heating power of 5.21 kW and a cooling power of 5 kW. The system measures 2,000 mm x 1,100 mm x 600 mm and operates at noise levels of 40–45 dB(A). The coefficient of performance (COP) is 2.90 and the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) is 3.79, according to the manufacturer. The system can also deliver water temperatures up to 70°C.
The unit uses a recirculation damper to operate in full recirculation mode, ensuring that the air is continuously treated within the system. The supply air heat exchanger conditions the air supplied to the living space, while the supply fan maintains a constant air flow and delivers exactly the amount of air needed at any given time, the company said.
On the extraction side, the exhaust air heat exchanger recovers energy from polluted air and outside air to improve overall efficiency. The exhaust fan removes used air and allows effective heat exchange. To optimize air exchange, the fresh air damper regulates the incoming air flow, maintaining the right balance between ventilation and energy savings.
The system also includes an inverter compressor, which adjusts energy output in real time to environmental demand, minimizing unnecessary energy consumption. The domestic hot water storage tank provides enough water for up to four people, while the anti-scald thermostat valve limits the water temperature to prevent scalding. The operation of the system is supported by a 15 liter expansion tank, a backup heating element and a domestic water pump.
“The unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the domestic hot water stored in the optional tank, which can be installed below or next to the heat pump module,” says Clivet. “Through electronic filtration, Fullness purifies the air in every room and reduces humidity and pollutants, creating a natural indoor climate all year round.”
