Chiltrix V18b Variable Capacity In-Line Electric Backup Heater For Heat Pump Chillers (V18b, Unico)

Chiltrix V18b Variable Capacity In-Line Electric Backup Heater For Heat Pump Chillers

Description:

• A patent-pending backup heat technology for air to water heat pumps, the V18 communicates with the Chiltrix CX34 to target a precise BTU shortfall.

• The V18 output is modulated in real time from 0-18,760 BTU (0- 5.5 kW) in .5% increments to avoid overshoot and maximize the percentage of total heat provided by the higher COP heating source (the compressor).

• Integrated and automatic, the V18 provides the industry-leading backup heating solution for air-to-water (hydronic) heat pump systems.
