What is the ouput of this ASHP?

[Triassic]

Imtrying to establish what size this ASHP is and is it a model worth having?

 

Viessmann Air Source Heat Pump complete with Indoor Unit & 200L Viessmann Buffer Tank. Buffer Tank Model - VC100-ESWV 200L. Air Source Model - Vitocal 200 - S/222/S/242/S

You seem to be missing a bit of the model number. It should end in ,A04 (3Kw) .A07 (5.6KW) .A10 (7.7Kw) or ,B10 (7.5Kw)

Just contacted the seller who says - The heat pump is 4.5kw power consumption, heating output is 7.7kw.

 

Is it a split or a mono?

Is the COP really only 7.7/4.5 = 1.7 ? 

 

Does it improve at say half power?

From what others have deduced the ASHP in question is a split unit and being second hand may not be worth buying as it requires a specialist install.

 

ps. So you can’t sleep either!

would the power input include backup immersion elements perhaps?
