Reinventing thermal comfort through ventilation and heat pump synergy
As heat waves intensify and thermal regulations become more stringent, ensuring indoor comfort while optimizing energy efficiency is becoming a major challenge for building professionals. Zehnder is meeting this challenge with the ComfoClime Q , an innovation that combines heating, cooling, and ventilation in a single compact system. Combined with the ComfoAir Q 450 dual-flow ventilation system , this solution is a strategic asset for installers, project managers, and specifiers.
A compact monobloc system, without an external unit
The true strength of the ComfoClime Q lies in its ease of integration . No outdoor unit, no complex refrigeration network. This reversible air-to-air heat pump module installs directly above the ComfoAir Q 450 unit, thus minimizing its footprint (only 1950 mm high). It delivers 100% air comfort year-round, without any interruption in airflow or unnecessary equipment.
Key technical features:
- Airflow: up to 450 m³ / h
- Active Refresh: up to 2,7 kW (or 4,1 kW with enthalpy exchanger)
- Active heating: up to 2,9 kW (or 5,5 kW combined)
- Refrigerant: R32, with low environmental impact
- Technology Inverter for intelligent modulation
“Innovation is about keeping things simple when the technology is complex.” — An installer during the presentation at ARTIBAT
Smart control with Climate Switch®
Thanks to Climate Switch® technology , the ComfoClime Q automatically adapts its operating mode according to:
- The measured indoor temperature
- External climatic conditions
- The occupant's lifestyle (Comfort or Eco)
- The chosen time schedule
This intelligent control system ensures a consistent and controlled temperature in living areas, with controlled energy consumption.
Optimal air quality, summer and winter
Zehnder doesn't just offer good thermal comfort. The Swiss company also places indoor air quality (IAQ) at the heart of its concerns. The ComfoAir Q 450 + ComfoClime Q duo ensures:
- Continuous extraction of stale air (kitchen, bathroom, toilet)
- The insufflation of air new, filtered and tempered
- High-performance filtration against pollen, dust and VOCs
- A functioning, an operation, a operating, a working silent, suitable for collective housing and individual houses
