Clearly Hybrid

Clearly Hybrid is the UK’s first hybrid renewable domestic heating and hot water system which uses advanced controls to select the most cost effective method of heating at any time.

The Clearly Hybrid system combines the use of a new Glow-worm boiler, such as the Ultracom₂ with the brand new Envirosorb 5 air to water heat pump. The revolutionary heating system automatically selects when to use low carbon renewable energy from the heat pump or traditional energy from the High Efficiency boiler, to always deliver cost effective heating and hot water to your customers.

The Clearly Hybrid system provides a perfect solution for consumers and organisations that are looking to use new, yet proven, technologies to deliver cost effective heating and reduce their carbon footprint.

Envirosorb 5

The new slimline air to water heat pump is extremely quiet and very compact. With a COP of 3.73 it produces almost 5kW of heat energy which can be used for central heating.

The heat pump unit communicates with the rest of the Clearly Hybrid system to provide heating whenever it is most cost effective to do so. The brand new heat pump is also incredibly straightforward to install with no F Gas qualifications required and no glycol needed in the central heating circuit.

Dimensions

Ultracom₂

The Clearly Hybrid system is compatible with a range of Glow-worm combi, system and regular heat only High Efficiency boilers. The High Efficiency boiler provides cost effective support to the system whenever gas is the preferred fuel source for use, whilst also ensuring comfort and familiarity to the homeowner.

Dimensions

(Typical dimensions for Ultracom₂ cxi)
740mm x 418mm x 346mm

Key Features

• High Efficiency boiler providing domestic hot water and heating support
• Provides security of traditional heating system to homeowner
• Wide range of combi, system and regular heat only models with outputs ranging between 12kW - 35kW
• Wide choice of flueing options available
• Straightforward to install and easy to use

Hydraulic Module HB

This houses the circulating pump which transfers the heat generated by the heat pump into the heating system. The Hydraulic Module also separates the heat pump circuit from the central heating circuit meaning that you don’t need to fill the whole system with glycol. The Hydraulic Module in itself is compact and easy to site, as no separate expansion vessel or additional buffer vessel are required.

Dimensions

431mm x 414mm x 157mm

Key features

• Compact and discrete unit; designed to be housed close to the boiler
• Separates the heat pump circuit from the main CH system eliminating the need for glycol antifreeze in the CH circuit

Control Systems

Systempro

 

The Systempro provides the intelligence behind the Clearly Hybrid system, and continuously communicates with each element of the heating system to optimise it for energy use, and select the most cost efficient method of heating. The Systempro acts as a central installer interface, where a homeowner’s energy tariff ratio is programmed, and maintenance menus, fault history, system parameters etc can all be accessed.

Following installation, there is no need for the end user to use this part of the system, unless they want to update their energy tariffs.

Dimensions

290mm x 264mm x 45mm

Key features

• The ‘brains’ of the system
• Central installer interface
• No need for end user interaction
• Uses intelligent eBus technology to coordinate entire Clearly Hybrid system
• Can be used to control a multi-zone system

Climapro₂ RF

Glow-worm’s most intuitive and user friendly control; Climapro₂ RF is the main point of interaction with the Clearly Hybrid system for the homeowner. The handheld control enables your customers to simply and quickly programme their specific heating and hot water requirements in detail, from the comfort of their armchair.

Key features

• Two channel wireless programmable room thermostat for complete time and temperature control of central heating and domestic hot water
• Large backlit display
• Simple handheld unit which can be wall mounted or portable within the home
• Provides room and weather compensation when combined with wireless outdoor sensor

Wireless Outdoor Sensor

The Glow-worm wireless outdoor sensor intelligently communicates the outside temperature to the rest of the system to provide weather compensated flow temperatures for maximum efficiency. The sensor is small and discrete, and is paired with the Systempro on installation meaning no external wiring is required between the unit and the rest of the system.

Key features

• Works on indirect sunlight which charges the in-built PV cells
• Can add an additional 3% points onto SAP efficiency of the system
• No batteries required meaning minimal maintenance
• Simple and quick to install
