The present invention relates to a
system (100) for making
hybrid heating systems more efficient, characterized in that it comprises a
combustion heat generator (20) adapted to be powered by a fuel mixture comprising or consisting of
hydrogen or a mixture of
hydrogen and
oxygen, an electrolyser (30) adapted to produce said mixture of
hydrogen and
oxygen, a
heat pump (10) comprising a low-temperature heat source, at least one
heat exchanger (40) connected to said electrolyser (30) and to said
heat pump (10), said exchanger being adapted to recover the
waste heat from said electrolyser (30) and to transfer it to an
evaporator of said
heat pump (10), an accumulation tank (70) for storing a thermal fluid produced by said heat generator (20) and / or by said heat pump (10),
temperature sensing means, and a memory and a
control unit connected to said
temperature sensing means and to said memory in which the value of a maximum ambient temperature Tamb, a
maximum temperature of the accumulation tank Tam, a minimum
operating temperature of the heat pump Tmin and a maximum
operating temperature of the heat pump or of the thermal fluid Tmax is saved, said
control unit being configured to acquire the values of the temperature of said accumulation tank Tacc, of said low-temperature heat source of said heat pump TE and of the temperature of the environment to be heated TA by means of said
temperature sensing means, check if said temperature of the environment to be heated TA is lower than said
maximum temperature of the environment Tamb and said temperature of said accumulation tank Tacc is lower than said
maximum temperature of the accumulation tank Tam and, if so, generate a
signal to switch on said
combustion heat generator (20) and said electrolyser (30), and check if said temperature of the low-temperature heat source of the heat pump TE is higher than the minimum
operating temperature of the heat pump Tmin and said temperature of said accumulation tank Tacc is lower than the maximum operating temperature of the heat pump or of the thermal fluid Tmax and, if so, generate a
signal to switch on said heat pump (10). The present invention also relates to a method for controlling a
system for making
hybrid heating systems more efficient.
