Delta-Discovery Air heat pump housing
WITH REVOLUTIONARY WINDSHIELD
Discover the updated Delta-Discovery Air heat pump housing: the perfect solution for installing heat pumps on pitched roofs. The updated Delta-Discovery Air heat pump housing is the second generation of a successful product line developed around customer feedback and years of experience. The aesthetically pleasing Delta-Discovery Air has a high build quality and is ideal for both monoblock and split unit systems. In addition, the housing is now available in any RAL color, allowing it to be optimally matched to the color of the roof and fit perfectly into its environment.
CUSTOM MADE
The Delta-Discovery Air housing is custom made to accommodate the heat pump and its desired location on the roof. As large as needed and as small as possible for a perfect position on pitched roofs.
ELIMINATION OF DIRECTIONAL WIND
One of the biggest innovations of the Delta-Discovery Air is the WindShield, an aerodynamic curved panel mounted on the outside of the housing. The patented WindShield eliminates adverse effects from wind on the performance of the heat pump. In other words; the COP (Coefficient of Performance) of the heat pump is not so affected by directional wind. In addition, the Delta Discovery Air is now also suitable for sustainable heat pumps with propane, what is becoming more and more.
ACCESSIBLE FROM THE INSIDE FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
After placing the Heat pump housing on a steep roof, it can be accessed easily from inside the house through the inspection hatch. The annual inspection and minor repairs can so easily be performed from inside the house. A major advantage of the indoor inspection hatch is that the installer no longer has to access the roof reducing servicing and maintenance costs for the consumer. A new option is an opening rear panel for even better access to the heat pump for inspection and maintenance, this gives the service technician more freedom of movement. Other innovations are the options to provide the Delta-Discovery Air with Heat Recovery Drain connection and/or sewer venting connection, if desired. In addition, the housing is now available in any RAL color, allowing it to be optimally matched to the color of the roof and fit perfectly into its environment.
DELTA-DISCOVERY AIR ROOF FLASHING WITH LEADAX
During the development of the Delta-Discovery Air, extra attention was given to sustainability and recyclability. The roof flashing features Leadax, the world’s first lead substitute with the same characteristics as traditional lead. Leadax has no harmful effects on health and the environment, while maintaining quality and flexibility.
RETENTION OF THE HOME’S INSULATION VALUE AND PREFAB MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
The heat pump housing is installed completely outside the home’s insulation shell, maintaining the home’s EPC value. An additional advantage is that this solution does not come at the expense of living space in the house and requires limited piping. The housing is of modular design, this means that the roof flashing and the connection box can be delivered directly to the contractor for integration into the roof structure. The top box can be delivered to the installer or prefab department of the technical wholesaler. There, the outer part of the monoblock or split unit can be built into the top box. The whole unit (the top box including the installed heat pump unit) can then be mounted directly on the building site on the already installed roof flashing and connection box. As a result, only one crane movement is required per house!
UNIQUE SOLUTION FROM INSTALLER TO END CLIENT
The Delta-Discovery Air heat pump housing has been developed in collaboration with installers, construction firms, heat pump manufacturers and end clients (such as housing associations). This approach resulted in incorporation of all market requirements into the development process. The result is an efficient housing with a clean design that offers optimal comfort to the end customer, maximum protection of the heat pump and easy access for the installer.
