The V18 communicates with the Chiltrix air-to-water heat pump via low
voltage signaling. The Chiltrix heat pump always understands the load as
part of its capacity management program, as such, if a heating shortfall is
detected, the quantity of such shortfall is known.
Real time monitoring and calculation allow the Chiltrix air-to-water heat
pump to operate with the V18 with the goal being that only the needed
amount of extra heat is added.
Power increments of adjustment as small as 55 watts (188 BTU) are
possible, as needed, for precise control.
Note, the 5.5 kW rating is for 240v line voltage and is equal to 18,760
BTU.
Actual max heating BTU is determined by your local line voltage.
Standard included element is rated for 240v, 5500w, and 18,760 BTU.
Voltage deratings for a 5500w element rated at 240v if used at a different
voltage (Ohms Law):
230v= Up to 5051w (17,234 BTU)
220v= Up to 4621w (15,766 BTU)
208v= Up to 4131w (14,094 BTU)
