FEATURES AND TECHNICAL DATA

FEATURES
Operation
Based on the thermodynamic water-ammonia absorption cycle
(H
2
0–NH
3
), the appliance produces hot water using outdoor air
as a renewable energy source (cold source) and natural gas (or
LPG) as primary energy.
The thermodynamic cycle takes place within a hermetically
sealed circuit, in welded construction, perfectly tight, facto-
ry-tested, which does not require any maintenance or coolant
top-ups.
Mechanical and thermo-hydraulic components

Standard or silenced fan
According to the type of fan the GAHP A unit is available in two
versions:
▶
standard fan, for applications that do not require a special
degree of noiselessness;
▶
silenced fan, for applications that require a high degree of
noiselessness;
