Heat pumps for large-scale applications

Daikin Europe N.V. has announced the expansion of its Daikin Altherma heat pump range to cover large-scale commercial applications in which space heating and hot water production are a priority. Due to the use of Daikin Altherma cascade technology, large volumes of hot water (with temperatures to 80°C) can be produced efficiently, making the system suitable for applications with a high demand for space heating and/or hot water heating.

Leaving water temperatures from 25 to 80°C make the system suitable for all types of radiators, under floor heating, fan coil units, heat pump convectors as well as hot water production. The high leaving water temperatures also make it suitable for upgrading existing heating systems, allowing retention of existing high temperature radiators.

Altherma cascade technology, in combination with inverter controlled compressors and weather dependant temperature control, results in efficient operation. Daikin says running costs can be up to 36% less than for some comparable oil or gas installations.

Daikin Europe products are distributed in the UK by Daikin Airconditioning UK and Space Airconditioning.
