Taurus Heat Pumps - 110 EVI
Use advice for data set Studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A4 Transportation of the product to construction site, A5 Installation to building, C1 Deconstruction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life C3 Waste processing and C4 Disposal. In addition, the benefits and loads beyond the system boundary of stage D consist of product reuse, recovery and recycling. System boundary describing the system boundary and the input and output flows is shown below: The end of waste point of the recycled steel raw material was assumed to be after scrap steel collection, sorting and preparation. Processing of scrap steel in steel production was considered to be part of next life cycle and included to the system boundaries of the studied product. End of waste point of the studied product is the step when material is used as fuel in an incineration plant or recycled material is handled in the collection and sorting plant. EOW point of the waste flows in A3- module is the step when materials are collected and handled in the sorting plant. EOW point of the packaging materials collected for recycling in A5 module is the point when materials are collected and handled in the sorting plant. Production stage (A3) on the Gebwell´s production sites cover following manufacturing processes; raw material supply, steel cutting, welding and soldering components, assembly, software programming and packaging. After that, products will be transported to the client. The production processes of products are presented in following figure.
Technical purpose of product or process This environmental declaration covers the environmental impacts of Taurus EVI and Taurus Inverter Pro heat pumps manufactured by Gebwell Ltd. in Leppävirta, Finland. The EPD contains three different products. Taurus EVI Heat Pump Taurus EVI is a tandem heat pump with two EVI compressors and a controller with IoT features for heating of large properties. Taurus EVI Heat Pump is a choice for heating large properties. The heating output of the pump is high even at high condensation temperatures. The compressor recovers excess heat from the fluid line, which is then used to vaporise the refrigerant into the compressor’s low-pressure block. Taking advantage of the high vaporisation temperature of the high temperature provides better efficiency. Economizer’s performance improves at higher condensation temperatures. Data from the IoT controller that is stored in the cloud service are used in system development. The data stored in the cloud service enables adjusting heating based on weather forecasts and learning the thermal capacity and the heating/cooling behaviour of a certain property, for example. Furthermore, the cloud service enables remote updating of the controller software and monitoring and controlling the system online using a browser based Gebwell Smart Control Hub. Taurus EVI heat pump comes in two capacities Taurus EVI 80 and Taurus EVI 110.
General comment on data set PROCEDURED FOR COLLECTION PROCESS SPECIFIC DATA Production specific data was collected directly from manufacturer’s production plant. The data represents the production of the studied product at the plant from the materials transported to the facility and represents 1 year average. The data represents year 2021, which was the latest year with full year data. All gathered data was used without excluding categories in advance following the system boundaries set in earlier chapters. CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING THE GENERIC DATA Generic data that was used for upstream and downstream processes represents complementary data from Ecoinvent 3.6 database. The datasets were chosen to represent the studied system as closely as possible. When available supplier specific information was used for instance in form of EN 15804 EPDs or emissions profile of local energy supplier. When supplier specific information was not available the information sources were chosen based on their technical and geographical representativeness. Only when country specific or European data has not been available has global level data been used (concerns mainly data from ecoinvent 3.6) As up-to-date data as possible was chosen and no more than five-year-old for producer specific data and ten years for generic data was used. Allocation rules used are made according to the ISO14044:2006. Allocation is avoided when possible and when necessary, allocation is made based on physical shares and also avoiding double calculations. Allocation is required if the production process produces more than one product and the flows of materials, energy and waste cannot be separately measured for the studied product. Allocation used in generic data sources follow the requirements of the EN 15804 -standard. It should be noticed that the allocation method ‘allocation, cut-off by classification’ has been used for Ecoinvent 3.6 data, which complies with EN 15804. Avoiding allocation could not be avoided for following inputs as the information was only measured on factory process level. • Electricity consumption and heat production: only measured on factory level • Energy-, wood- metal, rubber-, cable-, and plastic waste: only measured on factory level • Water use: only measured on factory level • Welding gases: only measured on factory level The inputs were allocated to studied product based on production volume (mass in kilograms). According to EN 15804, flows leaving the system at the end-of-waste boundary of the product stage (A1-A3) are allocated as coproducts. In this study, the recyclable metal scrap from cutting process is considered as a co-product. Scrap metal collected from the steel cutting process is sent for recycling, and environmental impacts from the product manufacturing and waste processing in A1-A3 modules are allocated for this co-product based on mass (kg). This study follows the cut-off criteria stated in RTS PCR and EN 15804 -standard. This study does not exclude anu modules or processes which represent more than 1 % of the emissions of studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Excluded processes and the criteria for exclusion are given in following table. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
