SWEP launches two new high efficiency products Rheem launches Rheem IKONIC™ tankless gas water heaters
SWEP , part of Dover ( DOV ) and the supplier of brazed plate heat exchangers ( BPHEs ) has announced the launch of the B8DW double-wall compact heat exchanger and the FI22AS high-efficiency condenser and evaporator . The new B8DW is a double-wall BPHE based on SWEP ’ s latest technology . Double-wall technology protects the two fluid circuits from contamination in the event of internal leakage and is used when extra safety is required , such as for tap water heating or industrial applications . A protective air column between plates drains any leaked fluids to the outside of the heat exchanger , preventing contamination in the protected flow . SWEP ’ s new B8DW brings other novel technologies such as asymmetry and provides enhanced safety and high thermal and material efficiency to a range of applications , including heat pumps , boilers , transformer cooling , desuperheaters , heat recovery from air compressors and tap water stations . The B8DW also provides users with increased performance and material efficiency from small to medium capacity applications . SWEP ’ s new FI22AS is a state-ofthe-art condenser , optimized for
natural refrigerants such as R290 and R32 , which are some of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly options . The FI22AS meets the rapidly increasing demand for residential heat pumps , mainly hydronic Air-to-Water and Ground Sourced Heat Pumps , by providing compact and cost- and material efficient high performing condenser and evaporator duty . Heat pumps and FI22AS , enable industries and societies to increase efficiency and convert from fossil-fueled heating systems to renewable electricity , which reduces the need for energy without compromising on comfort .
Rheem ® launches Rheem IKONIC™ , a super high efficiency condensing gas tankless water heater . This new product line elevates the industry standard for energy efficient , environmentally friendly water heating products while offering homeowners smart control . Rheem IKONIC delivers a best-inclass 0.96 UEF , resulting in up to a 36 % reduction in energy use and carbon footprint and up-to 65 % reduction in NOx emissions . Also featuring a built-in recirculation pump ( SR models ), Rheem IKONIC offers homeowners no wait access to continuous hot water , preventing up-to 12,000 gallons of water from being wasted down the drain each year . With integrated Wi-Fi Technology , Rheem IKONIC provides users with complete control of the unit from anywhere . This includes temperature adjustments , energy usage tracking , and modifying recirculation modes - all from a smart phone with the EcoNet ® Mobile App . In addition to the positive environmental impact , cost savings from the reduced energy and water consumption of Rheem IKONIC has the potential to pay for itself in less than three years . The line is ENERGY STAR ® certified and qualifies for many state and local rebate programs , while the unit ’ s super high energy efficiency can help homeowners save up-to $ 1,650 over a 15-year period , in energy costs . The built-in recirculation pump , featured in SR models of Rheem IKONIC , offers another layer of potential savings , which can translate to more than $ 1,000 in reduced water costs over 15 years .

NIBE is pleased to officially launch this new technology which produces two types of energy , thermal energy , and electricity , by using a unique solar panel . The PV-T system builds on NIBE ’ s promise to continuously update its products , and to make it easy to be ‘ smart .’ NIBE PV-T collector is an alternative , innovative , and silent heat source for use with NIBE ground source heat pumps , removing the requirement of ground or bore hole collector array . The PV-T collectors produce electrical energy that can be used to operate a ground source heat pump . On a hot day , the circulating brine helps cool the PV-T panel , increasing PV-T generation efficiency . The system was recently successfully installed at the University of
West London . The ground-breaking scheme is considered one of the largest of its kind in the world and was made possible thanks to a GBP 5M Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund . The project involved the replacement of old gas boilers with ground source heat pumps alongside 580 solar PV-T panels . The site remained active throughout the build due to the use of prefabricated structures and the innovative PV-T design removing the need for extensive groundworks . The PV-T collector is designed so that even on cloudy days and at night , the heat exchanger provides sufficient energy for the heat pump . In warmer months , the heat extracted by the collector helps cool the PV aperture surface , improving generation efficiency .
