Daikin Altherma 3 Bibloc 11 kW Air Source Heat Pump with 180 L Tank

Daikin Altherma 3 11 kW heat pump

The Daikin Altherma 3 Bibloc 11 kW is an air-to-water heat-pump system designed to provide efficient residential heating and domestic hot water.

This configuration combines a Daikin Altherma 3 heat-pump system with an integrated 180 L domestic hot-water tank, creating a practical solution for homes that need both space heating and hot-water production. Daikin’s European documentation lists 180 L integrated-tank configurations within the Altherma range.

Furthermore, the Altherma 3 R range uses R32 refrigerant and is designed to operate in cold outdoor conditions, with the documented 11 kW outdoor-unit family rated for operation down to -25°C.

Daikin Altherma 3 11 kW Heat Pump

The Daikin Altherma 3 11 kW is designed for larger residential heating requirements where an appropriately sized air-to-water heat pump is required.

Unlike a conventional air conditioner, an air-to-water heat pump transfers heat from outdoor air into a water-based heating system.

As a result, the system can be connected to compatible heating emitters such as:

• Underfloor heating
• Low-temperature radiators
• Heat-pump convectors
• Other compatible hydronic heating systems

The exact system design should be determined by a qualified heating professional.

180 L Domestic Hot-Water Tank

A major feature of this product is the 180 litre domestic hot-water storage capacity.

Daikin documents integrated 180 L stainless-steel domestic hot-water tanks within its Altherma configurations.

The integrated tank allows the heating system and domestic hot-water function to be combined into a single coordinated installation.

This can be particularly useful for residential properties where space efficiency is important.

Air-to-Water Heat Pump Technology

The Altherma 3 uses air-to-water heat-pump technology.

Outdoor air is used as the renewable heat source. The system then transfers that energy into the property’s water-based heating circuit.

Therefore, it can work particularly well with low-temperature heating systems.

Potential applications include:

• Underfloor heating
• Low-temperature radiators
• Heat-pump convectors
• Domestic hot-water production

Daikin describes Altherma 3 R as an air-to-water heat-pump range designed for energy-efficient residential heating.

11 kW Heating System

The 11 kW class provides a higher-capacity option within the Altherma range.

However, the term “11 kW” should be treated as the model/capacity class, rather than assuming the system delivers exactly 11.0 kW under every operating condition.

Actual heat output varies according to:

• Outdoor temperature
• Leaving-water temperature
• Operating mode
• Specific indoor/outdoor combination
• Installation conditions

For this reason, customers should have the property professionally assessed before purchasing.

Heating for European Homes

The Daikin Altherma 3 is designed for European heating applications.

Daikin states that the relevant 11–14 kW ERLA outdoor-unit family can operate down to -25°C, providing an important cold-weather capability for suitable installations.

This makes the product relevant to customers searching for:

• Daikin heat pump Europe
• Daikin air source heat pump Europe
• Daikin 11 kW heat pump
• Daikin winter heating system
• Daikin renewable heating system

R32 Refrigerant

The relevant Daikin Altherma 3 R outdoor-unit family uses R32 refrigerant. Daikin’s technical documentation identifies R32 with a GWP of 675.

R32 is therefore an important supporting keyword for European searches:

Daikin R32 air source heat pump

Other useful variations include:

• Daikin R32 heat pump
• Daikin Altherma R32
• R32 air-to-water heat pump
• Daikin 11 kW R32 heat pump

Domestic Heating and Hot Water

The combination of heat-pump heating and domestic hot-water storage gives this product two major functions.

Space Heating

The heat pump transfers energy from outdoor air into the home’s water-based heating circuit.

Domestic Hot Water

The integrated 180 L tank stores domestic hot water for household use.

Consequently, customers can use one coordinated heating system rather than installing completely separate equipment for space heating and hot-water production.

Suitable for Underfloor Heating

Air-to-water heat pumps are particularly well suited to low-temperature heating systems.

The Daikin Altherma 3 range is designed for low-temperature applications, making it relevant to properties using:

• Underfloor heating
• Low-temperature radiators
• Heat-pump convectors

For best performance, the heating system should be designed around the heat pump’s required flow temperatures.

Integrated Hot-Water Solution

The 180 L configuration can simplify the overall system design because the domestic hot-water tank is integrated into the indoor unit.

Daikin’s documented integrated configurations combine the heat pump and stainless-steel domestic hot-water tank into a coordinated installation.

As a result, customers can reduce the need for a separate large hot-water storage appliance.

Compact Indoor Design

Daikin’s integrated Altherma configurations are designed to provide a relatively compact installation compared with installing separate heating and hot-water equipment.

For example, Daikin documents a 180 L integrated configuration at approximately 1,650 × 595 × 625 mm for the referenced model family.

Always confirm the exact dimensions of the particular SKU supplied by EuroFuelSupply before publishing them as final product specifications.

Smart Control

Compatible Altherma systems can support Daikin Onecta connected control.

Daikin describes Onecta as allowing users to control indoor climate from a smartphone or tablet, while the exact connectivity hardware depends on the configuration.

Therefore, don’t state that Wi-Fi is included unless the exact EuroFuelSupply package contains the required module.

Cold-Weather Operation

Cold-weather capability is an important selling point for European customers.

The relevant Daikin 11–14 kW ERLA outdoor-unit family is designed to operate at outdoor temperatures down to -25°C.

This can make the system relevant to customers in colder European climates.

Actual performance and heat output at low outdoor temperatures depend on the specific system combination and operating conditions.

Energy Efficiency

Daikin Altherma 3 R is designed around high seasonal heating efficiency.

Daikin states that the Altherma 3 R range can achieve A+++ seasonal efficiency in the applicable energy-label conditions.

However, for this specific 11 kW / 180 L product page, use the exact current EU energy label and product data for the actual combination you sell.

Don’t automatically apply the maximum range rating to every configuration.
