NIBE PCM S42 Passive Cooling Module

Description

NIBE PCM S42 is a complete additional module developed for properties equipped with ground source heat pumps in the NIBE S series. The accessory harnesses the natural cold from the bedrock and distributes comfortable passive coolness through the building's water-borne underfloor heating system or via connected fan convectors. By utilizing the low temperature of the collector circuit, minimal energy is required to lower the indoor temperature during hot summer days, creating a balanced and comfortable indoor climate all year round with extremely low operating costs.

Smart integration and user-friendly control

As an integrated part of the connected home, NIBE PCM S42 is conveniently controlled directly via the ground source heat pump's touchscreen or remotely via smartphone and tablet. The intelligent technology automatically adapts the cooling output to the prevailing conditions and the actual needs of the indoor climate, ensuring optimal comfort and minimized energy use. The system's factory-assembled components interact seamlessly with the heat pump's software and automatic control.

Complete design and reliable technology

The module is delivered fully equipped with an integrated energy-efficient circulation pump and an intermediate exchanger that separates the brine circuit from the heating circuit. The well-thought-out design protects the heating system against condensation and guarantees stable, long-term operation. NIBE PCM is available in different output sizes to offer a tailor-made solution for each specific heat pump system.

Environmentally friendly cooling with natural geoenergy

Passive cooling, also known as free cooling, is one of the most environmentally friendly methods for lowering indoor temperatures. Since the cooling process takes place without the compressor in the heat pump having to work, only electricity is consumed for the circulation pumps. This leads to a significantly reduced energy consumption compared to conventional air conditioning systems. In addition, the process helps to return heat to the bedrock, which benefits the borehole's recharge ahead of the winter season's heating needs.

Easy installation and flexible use

The compact design makes NIBE PCM S42 easy to place next to the heat pump in a boiler room or laundry room. The unit is constructed of durable metal with a clean white finish that blends well into the environment. The system works as a 2-pipe solution and is ideal for both new construction and upgrading existing systems where you want to combine modern geothermal heating with quiet and draught-free cooling comfort.
