ROTEX – a strong partner

Competence in heating technologyThe history of ROTEX heating systems is marked by numerous innovative products and developments. Founded in 1973 as a plastics processor, ROTEX GmbH started producing heating oil storage tanks made of polyethylene (PE) in 1978. The company succeeded in quickly claiming a leading position on the market in this sector. With new product groups – from underfloor heating and hot water storage tanks right up to solar techno-logy – ROTEX continued to achieve further developments in heating and household technology. Today ROTEX sees itself as a provider of complete, innovative and environmentally friendly heating systems.

The comprehensive ROTEX systemIt is our aim to reduce fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emis-sions through the deployment of renewables in tandem with comprehensive ROTEX system technology. Because of this system concept, as well as a comprehensive product- and ser-vice offer, ROTEX today is the leading technical provider in the building service technology. ROTEX has been a member of the Daikin Group since 2008. The result of the combined compe-tence are product solutions which meet the highest demands.

The new heat pump generation: Outstanding performance + environmental responsibility

Heating and cooling with air, sun and ROTEXThe new ROTEX heat pumps with the Bluevolution technology combines a highly efficient compressor and the innovative refrigerant R-32.

Embrace efficiency and modern sustainability with the refrigerant of the futureEveryone is a winner when environmentally friendly R-32 refri-gerant is used. With its low GWP of 675, it is already playing an important part in reducing CO2 emissions, thereby keeping its environmental impact to a minimum. Due to this low GWP, all Bluevolution products already fulfil the requirements of new EU Regulation 517/2014, which stipulates that fluorinated green-house gases (also known as F-gases) be gradually replaced by 2030.

What GWP meansGWP (global warming potential) is a value indicating the global warming impact of a greenhouse gas. The lower the value, the lower the potential contribution to global warming.

New ROTEX air-to-water heat pumps – powered by Bluevolution

A complete solution: HPSU compact Ultra 4-8 kWAdvanced heat pump technology with integrated thermal store. Hygienic with the ability to incorporate additional heat sources

The versatile solution: HPSU Bi-Bloc Ultra 4-8 kWFlexible application, also for cascades.

The ideal solution for your needs

Maximum convenience:

• The new air-to-water heat pumps from ROTEX – powered by Bluevolution – boost domestic hot water output by up to 40 % thanks to their state of the art technology

• An optimum interior climate is maintained through heating and cooling when combined with underfloor heating

Outstanding performance:

• Flexible for use in new build and even modernisation projects, reaching flow temperatures of up to 65 °C without the need for an immersion heater

Powered by BluevolutionThe next generation heat pumps from ROTEX bear the Bluevolution label. This shows that they are part of the DAIKIN Group product range that uses futureproof R-32 refrigerant. Combined with a new highly efficient com-pressor, these next generation heat pumps achieve the highest efficiency values.

Dream dimensions for your heating:Heating and hot water in just 0.36 m2

Irrespective of whether with or without solar energy exploitati-on, the ROTEX GCU compact and HPSU compact are anoptimum combination of high-efficiency condensing boilerand hygienic thermal store. As a result of the uncompromisingcombination of these functions, these compact unitsset new standards with regard to space saving and energyexploitation. An area of only 0.36 m2 (300 litre storagevolume) or 0.64 m2 (500 litre storage volume) is sufficient toaccommodate the complete heating, hot water generationand stratified solar thermal store.

Gas condensing + solar energyThe ROTEX GCU compact combines modern gas condensingtechnology with solar thermal store in the smallest possiblespace. The integration of the condensing heating boiler ontop of the thermal store means that the surface losses of theunit are kept to a minimum. Losses as a result of cooling,as occur in usual boiler storage combinations, do not occurhere.

Heat pump + solar energyROTEX offers an especially compact and pioneering compre-hensive solution in the form of the new heat pump unit,the HPSU compact. The HPSU compact exploits free andregenerative environmental energy from the sun and the air.The internal unit of the heat pump and the stratified solarthermal store are also combined here. The HPSU compactcan not only provide heating but can also cool if required.

The Hybrid central unit – open for all energy typesAll ROTEX solar thermal stores can also be used as an efficientthermal store for additional heat sources. For example, in addition to a solar system, a fireplace with water pocket can be used to provide support during heating and hot water gene-ration. If a solar system is not installed directly, it can retrofitted quickly and easily at any time.

Think water hygiene when buyinga heating system

Clean water is a prerequisite for lifeFresh hot water is a basic necessity in every home, be it for showering, bathing, cooking or handwashing. These days we could not imagine living without a steady supply of hot water, readily available whenever we want it. And naturally, we also expect this water to be hygienic. Conventional water heaters can often fall short in this respect. That is why we have made it our business to focus on water hygiene!

Optimum water hygiene – day after dayROTEX thermal stores have been designed with the latest hea-ting technology and domestic hot water hygiene standards in mind. They are fundamentally different in design from conven-tional high volume domestic hot water tanks. Sludge and rust deposits, sedimentation and even the growth of dangerous legionella bacteria, such as can be found in many large tanks, cannot occur here. Their design concept means that they can provide 100 % hygienic domestic hot water at any time.

The domestic hot water is contained in a high performance indirect coil made from durable stainless steel (INOX). Your hot water will always be perfectly hygienic.

The storage tank only needs to be filled with water once, when it is commissioned, and then simply provides thermal storage. The water is neither replaced nor consumed. The interior and exterior walls of the tank are made from shock- and impact-resistant polypropylene and the space in between is filled with highly effective foam insulation. This results in excellent insulati-on values and minimum surface losses
