EcoFlow, a global manufacturer of energy self-sufficiency solutions, is expanding its product line and creating new opportunities for the use of solar energy. The brand has already introduced technological products that can be integrated into the EcoFlow PowerOcean system, allowing the use of solar energy to generate heat for heating apartments and houses.
EcoFlow PowerHeat
The air-water heat pump is designed for heating private houses. Using diffused heat from the air outside, the EcoFlow PowerHeat generates energy, which it transfers to heat the water in the heating system, such as in radiators or underfloor heating. The system supports both single-phase and three-phase connections. The heat pump uses environmentally friendly propane refrigerant R290. The new product will be available on the Ukrainian market this summer and will come in two power versions: 9 kW and 20 kW. The device will be presented in two sizes: 1263 mm x 440 mm x 875 mm, weighing 115 kg, and 1263 mm x 440 mm x 1375 mm, weighing 180 kg.
EcoFlow PowerGlow
A smart heater can be connected to a buffer tank with warm water, which is intended for heating the premises. In fact, the EcoFlow PowerGlow optimizes the consumption of solar energy by using its excess to heat water. The new product is expected to be released in three different capacities: 3.5 kW, 6 kW, and 9 kW. The innovative 6 kW and 9 kW units will have a three-phase connection, while the 3.5 kW unit will also have a single-phase connection. The operating temperature range is from -20°C to 70°C. The length of the heating rod varies from 375 mm to 550 mm, and the weight of the entire system ranges from 2.5 kg to 3 kg.
Both novelties are integrated into the three-phase and single-phase EcoFlow PowerOcean system and are able to work using both solar energy and the centralized power grid. The new solutions, like the previous ones, can be controlled remotely through an application, allowing users to set a heating schedule. Technological innovations from EcoFlow will help reduce electricity bills and minimize users' dependence on energy suppliers.
