Dimplex launches more air-source heat pumps
Dimplex has extended its range of air-source heat pumps with units providing five outputs from 9 to 40 kW — all offering COPs that are said to be comparable with ground-source units. The largest units in the range offer a flow temperature of up to 58°C. Applications include communal systems for apartment developments and commercial buildings. Several heat pumps can be used in parallel to meet higher heating loads.
Cooling can also be provided by a 35 kW reversible air-source unit, with the heat removed from the space being used to provide domestic hot water or to heat a swimming pool.
Air-source heat pumps have small space requirements compared with ground source and can help achieve high building energy-rating scores for new-build projects. They are also suitable for retro-fit applications, especially where space is limited.
