Compressor bearings for quiet heat pumps

The number of heat pumps installed is steadily increasing as property owners look to more sustainable heating systems. But more heat pumps in residential areas also means more challenges in terms of noise. Elastic bearings are a helpful solution here, while elastic decoupling of the compressor is particularly promising when it comes to permanently reducing primary noise levels.

Kronoterm is one of the most innovative heat pump manufacturers on the market and recently received the EHPA Quality Label for Austria and Switzerland for their ADAPT MAX heat pump. As part of this certification process, efficiency, quality and reliability are thoroughly tested in accredited laboratories. With an LWA of just 49 dB, the ADAPT MAX is one of the quietest heat pumps on the market. This is a remarkable achievement, especially given the fierce competition in the heat pump market, where manufacturers constantly strive for top rankings in both efficiency and noise reduction.

A key factor in Kronoterm's success is the internal elastic decoupling of the compressor. Kronoterm uses either Isotop® Compact or Isotop® MSN-DAMP to make sure that vibrations from the compressor are not transmitted to the housing of the heat pump. This helps to make decoupled heat pumps significantly quieter than models without an elastic compressor bearing.

Luka Čretnik Purchaser at Kronoterm

Our journey with Kronoterm began in 2018 with some initial testing. The company contacted us as they were looking for a way to lastingly reduce structure-borne noise. Drawing on our expertise in selecting the optimal Isotop® elements, we achieved impressive results. Kronoterm's mission is to produce exceptionally quiet heat pumps and continuously seek ways to enhance its system. The team used our online selection tool EquipCalc to take compressor decoupling to the next level for their latest models, with the company's heat pumps now being among the quietest on the market.

Getzner's products are effective over the long term without any drop off in performance and are easy to install. The company also provides fantastic service and advice, which makes them the right partner for us.
