Novelan heat pumps

Air/water monoblocGround sourceHot waterExhaust air 17 series

NOVELAN is a heat pump brand of ait-deutschland GmbH in Kasendorf, Bavaria, the same company that makes alpha innotec heat pumps, and is sold through the three-tier wholesale channel to installers. Novelan traces its roots to the heat pumps Siemens built from 1976; the Kasendorf plant dates from 1998. The current range covers the Helox (R290), LADV and Jabbah air-to-water units, the GroundHub, SICV 6.3, WSV 6.3, SIC and SI brine-to-water units and the BW-S, WIB and ZLW hot water heat pumps, mostly controlled by the WPR-Net (Luxtronik) regulator.

Novelan in Zerofy

Zerofy has no integration for Novelan yet. Where a series below has an SG Ready input, Zerofy can still switch it through a Shelly relay. The heat pump comparison lists every brand Zerofy supports.

Novelan Air-to-water monoblock

The whole refrigerant circuit sits in one outdoor unit; only water pipes run into the house. The most common choice for retrofits, because no refrigerant lines need to be installed inside.

Novelan Ground-source (brine/water)

Draws heat from a borehole or ground loop, so the source stays at a steady temperature all winter. Higher efficiency and no outdoor noise, but boreholes cost money and need a permit.

Novelan Hot water heat pumps

A small heat pump built onto a hot water tank. It heats drinking water only and is a good way to turn surplus solar into stored heat – or to add hot water to a house that is otherwise heated differently.

Heating output is the figure in the manufacturer's datasheet; the basis (nominal output at A7/W35 or B0/W35, or design heat load) differs between brands, so check the datasheet before comparing. * = design heat load Pdesignh at 35 °C from the BAFA portal.

SG Ready is a label of the Bundesverband Wärmepumpe (BWP) e.V.; “Yes” means the manufacturer documents the two-input interface or declares it on the BAFA portal, not that the series carries the BWP label – the label list is at waermepumpe.de. EEBUS is a standard of the EEBus Initiative e.V.; Modbus is a registered trademark of Schneider Electric, licensed to the Modbus Organization. Product names, logos and photos belong to their manufacturers and are shown to identify the products. Grant data: BAFA Wärmeerzeuger-Portal and Lista ZUM (IOŚ-PIB) as of the dates shown; the SCOP at 55 °C in the BAFA tables is calculated by Zerofy from the portal's ηs value.
