Frequently Asked Questions

Can the VOLCANO VR1 EC work with a heat pump?

Yes. However, the heating output depends on the heating system supply temperature. At 50/30°C operating conditions, the unit's heating capacity is lower than in traditional 80/60°C or 90/70°C systems. For heat pump installations, the VOLCANO VR4 EC model is more suitable due to its higher heating capacity at low-temperature system parameters.

What are the advantages of the EC motor?

The EC motor offers lower energy consumption, smooth speed regulation, quieter operation, and higher energy efficiency compared to standard AC motors.

What types of facilities is the VOLCANO VR1 EC designed for?

The unit is commonly used in warehouses, production halls, workshops, large retail facilities, logistics centres, sports facilities, and other buildings requiring efficient heating of large open spaces.
