Cop 4.0 with an air-to-air heat pump in an old building? Oh man! I don’t know such systems, but please explain, what supply temperature is the air supposed to have then? 130 kWh/m2, 150 m2 -> roughly results in a heating load of about 13 kW. With NAT, the building is supposed to be kept at temperature through air circulation. Let’s assume air supply temperature = 40°C Air density = 1.2 kg/m3 Specific heat capacity in kJ/(kg·K) = 1.003 results in 2340 m3/hour air circulation. With 2.5 m ceiling height, that’s a 6-fold air exchange rate per hour. Do you want ventilation ducts like in Real under the ceiling in your house? :D Apart from that, it simply won’t work with COP 4.0, With NAT rather COP 1.8 and then we’re already at a 13.86-fold air exchange rate :D If it were a proper old building with 250 kWh/m2 you would have almost replaced the air in the room every 2 minutes. Real hair dryer :P The air will be so unpleasant that you'd rather stay outside at -15°C. But I’m happy to be convinced otherwise.This is complete nonsense. The heating demand of a building is independent of the type of heating and of course a heat pump can provide as much heat to an old building accordingly. And it has nothing to do with fan heaters because the principle of the heat pump is used. The efficiency is about a factor of 4 higher than that of a fan heater.
