Air-to-water heat pump

From the site visit to a sizing report compliant with EN 12831-1: Argile guides your teams at every step, calculates the required output, picks the equipment from up-to-date catalogues and shows the customer the energy they will save.

01

Integrated, multi-brand sizing

all your brands in the same calculation engine: two machines from two brands compared on the same heat demand, where a manufacturer’s tool only sizes its own catalogue

The product flow during the site visit

On site, the technician documents the air-to-water project in 4 steps: zone to heat, rooms & emitters, unit positions, sizing. They choose the target temperature, declare the planned insulation and check the heat demand against the radiators' output at low, medium and high temperature, straight from the tablet.
