Unico Climate Control, a leading
manufacturer of sustainable heating and cooling solutions in Europe
that has recently appointed George Matthews as its Business Development
Director, recently announced its latest innovation. The UniHub, designed to
maximise energy efficiency in the home or office and distribute it to various
water systems, is a cost-effective addition to any house or small commercial
building.
Designed to take source and supply tubing from up to five different systems,
UniHub employs advanced liquid swirling techniques to achieve maximum exchange
of heat energy. With UniHub, the energy from each system can be distributed via
the central unit, saving energy and money and reducing energy bills. UniHub is
ruggedly constructed from copper, for the most efficient exchange of heat
energy. Water in each circuit, on entry to the UniHub cylinder, is swirled so
that more of the mass makes contact with the copper surface, giving up or
taking in energy via simple temperature difference between one circuit and
another. The unit is specifically designed for the high flow rates needed for
heat pumps, offering greater efficiency for low grade heat, thus preventing
cycling of systems. This means that heat pumps run for longer making for long
life and increasing efficiency.
 The UniHub also acts as an energy and water store,
replacing the need for, and cost of, a separate hot water tank. What is more,
the cylinder fits into the same physical space as a domestic electric boiler so
no additional space is taken up. The UniHub is the latest in a full range of
sustainable energy solutions from Unico, designed to make the most of the
energy available in any home or business and enhance the energy characteristics
of the Unico System heating and cooling system. According to the companys
press release, the Unico System delivers advanced central heating and cooling
via draught-free, small-duct outlets and is a favourite with those looking for
a more sustainable energy system. |
