MADE IN AUSTRIA - PRODUCED IN NIEDERKAPPEL
The smart heat pump
with really green energy.
With the GreenFOX air heat pump, we have developed a heat pump that is as sustainable as possible, based on proven technology. The GreenFOX sets a completely new standard in the operation and control of heat pumps: Smart control with the unique GreenMode, which enables maximum green heating, are just a few of the highlights.
The GreenFOX heat pump in monoblock construction is particularly quiet, comes in a stylish design and three colors and is manufactured with the usual ÖkoFEN electronic components in our main factory in Niederkappel.
THAT is quality made in Austria.
A heat pump that suits you.
We have not only valued quality, efficiency and functionality, but also the design. The GreenFOX heat pump is an elegant, stylish outdoor unit. Available in the colors white, gray and anthracite, there is the right style for every house.

Because we know how green heating works.
Really green heating with the unique GreenMode
Even though the air heat pump uses a renewable energy source, it requires additional electricity to support heat production. With the intelligent control of the GreenFOX heat pump, it is now possible - for the first time worldwide - to use low-CO2 electricity mostly when using external electricity and thus to heat really green.
The GreenFOX heat pump accesses a database that imports country-specific live electricity forecasts. These show where the electricity comes from and how "green", i.e. ecological, it is currently being produced. If, for example, electricity from coal-fired power plants is being used, the heat pump reacts and shifts its standard heating times towards a "greener electricity window". So it heats when it can use low-CO2 electricity.
Heat with green electricity all year round
Even if we produce our own electricity with the help of our own PV systems and use it to generate heat, we have to resort to external electricity in phases with little or no yield. If self-generated electricity is available, the heat pump uses it. At other times, the GreenMode ensures that you continue to heat as green as possible: If necessary, the use of electricity is shifted to a greener phase, your heating comfort remains the same.
Automatically optimize heating operation
Die smarte Regelung, die auch Wetterprognosen nutzt, passt – je nach grünem Stromangebot – den Heizbetrieb automatisch an. Die Wärmepumpe heizt somit, das gesamte Jahr, effizient, umweltfreundlich und dann, wenn es notwendig ist. So werden Sie komfortabel mit flexibler und wirklich grüner Wärme versorgt. Für ein völlig flexibles und selbstbestimmtes Heizmanagement können Sie die GreenMode-Option jederzeit pausieren.
The smart control, which also uses weather forecasts, automatically adjusts the heating operation depending on the green electricity supply. The heat pump thus heats efficiently, environmentally friendly and only when it is necessary, all year round. In this way you are comfortably supplied with flexible and really green heat. You can pause the GreenMode option at any time for completely flexible and self-determined heating management.
This is ÖkoFEN's GreenMode.
Really economical heating with electricity price data
Even if you produce your own electricity via a PV system and use it for your heat pump, at some point - especially in winter - this will reach its limits and access to external electricity will come into play. If external power consumption is unavoidable, the electricity price and costs play a central role.
But the GreenFOX heat pump accesses the electricity price exchange via a database and automatically reacts to fluctuations. If, for example, a price increase or peak occurs during a "standard heating period", the controller optimizes the heating times of the heating system so that heating is simply carried out during a cheaper period. In this way, you are automatically supplied with electricity that is as green AND as cheap as possible.
As with GreenMode, you always decide for yourself whether to use this function.
The awards for our latest innovation
The awards for our latest innovation, the GreenFOX heat pump, show once again that ÖkoFEN puts pioneering spirit into every product that bears its name.
The so-called GreenMode, which uses LIVE electricity data and access to the electricity exchange to make heating not only as "green" as possible, but also as "cheap" as possible, was honoured with the Iceberg Innovation Leadership Award. The intelligent heat pump control system, which is unique in the world, was particularly convincing in the criteria of degree of innovation & culture, potential for the future and sustainability, which are particularly relevant for ÖkoFEN.
The GreenFOX control system also won first place in the Future Zone Award in the "Internet of Things" category. This promising future technology makes it possible for the first time to analyse CO2 and electricity price data in real time and to heat with maximum environmentally friendly electricity all year round.
GreenFOX heat pump in figures
With its top performance, the GreenFOX heat pump makes it into the absolute top field on the heat pump market in Europe. The indicators also confirm this.
The most important technical figures, data and facts about the GreenFOX heat pump.
Maximum independence with a hybrid solution
The GreenFOX heat pump can be expanded at any time with an ÖkoFEN pellet heating system to form a hybrid system. So you are always well prepared, no matter what the future holds - whether you expand your house, the electricity becomes more expensive or peaks occur. A hybrid system also protects the components of both systems and extends their service life. And: You minimize the dependency on one energy source!
The GreenFOX heat pump from ÖkoFEN is a flexible, holistic heating system with really green energy.
Technical details of the GreenFOX air-water heat pump 9/14
1. Condenser
The high-quality copper heat exchanger extracts the heat for the heating system from the refrigerant.
2. Compressor
A maintenance-free and extremely quiet scroll compressor compresses the refrigerant.
3. Evaporator
The generously dimensioned evaporator ensures the transfer of environmental heat to the refrigerant. The bigger - the more efficient!
4. EEV valves
The electronic expansion valves are used for precise expansion of the refrigerant from high pressure to low pressure.
5. Safety valve
The safety valve enables automatic draining of the water circuit in case of overpressure.
6. Electrical connection box
The following electrical connections are required: 1x400V, 1x230V and a 4-pole bus connection line.
7. Collector
The receiver takes up unneeded refrigerant from the high-pressure range under varying conditions..png)
8. Flow/return connection
The flow and return connection is usually made at the bottom via a 5/4" district heating pipe. Alternatively, there is also the option of an outlet to the rear.
9. Water separator
The separator takes up saturated vapour of the low pressure range under varying conditions.
10. 4-way valve
The 4-way valve is used to reverse the circuit of the heat pump and thus for cooling and defrosting. The evaporator becomes the condenser and the condenser becomes the evaporator.
11. Fan
The whisper-quiet and highly efficient fan sucks the air through the evaporator and then releases it back into the environment. (The bigger the better)
12. Inverter technology
The inverter technology with frequency converter enables modulating compressor operation. Heat pumps with inverter technology are quieter, more efficient and allow longer running times with low power consumption.
13. Latest compressor technology
The sustainable and environmentally friendly refrigerant R290 enables highly efficient operation and a higher heating circuit flow temperature in practice.How heat is generated from air - functional principle of a heat pump
An air source heat pump uses the ambient air as an energy source and requires electricity as the driving energy to heat a building.
An integrated fan sucks in the air from the environment and heats the refrigerant contained in the device, which plays a central role in this process.
As a result of the heating, the refrigerant first evaporates before it is brought to the required temperature level and compressed in the process.
The heat that is generated is transferred to the heating system in the house - e.g. to underfloor heating. When cooling the house, the process is reversed.
A cooling process cools the refrigerant down and liquefies it. A brief relaxation phase follows before the cycle begins again.
