ICS Heat Pump Boosts Trade
A leading heating technology firm has said that specifiers and building operators are becoming dissatisfied with conventional direct or indirect fired gas or oil fired systems.
Air Source Heat Pumps are instead a viable, low cost and low carbon method of providing industrial and commercial space heating.
The UK-based ICS Heat Pump Technology solution utilises the Commercial Air Source Heat Pump combined with purpose designed air handling units which together provide effective space heating.
This package of equipment provides a low carbon heating system and tangible cost management benefits with a very straightforward method of installation.
Air Source Heat Pumps are now able to provide a range of output temperatures which are able to match the insulation characteristics of virtually any industrial or commercial building.
This means that in periods of low ambient temperature down to -12 degrees C a high temperature air source heat pump system will still provide an output temperature of 65 degrees C which will satisfy the heating demands of the most exacting building.
"The new generation of higher temperature heat pumps which provide output temperatures as high as 90 degrees C really do widen the scope for commercial applications," commented Garry Broadbent of Blackpool-based ICS Heat Pump Technology.
He said: "Component and product development is moving forward at a fast pace which now means that a heat pump system can be efficiently applied to these space heating applications."
"Even though these space heating systems appear to be relatively straightforward to apply, care must be taken to ensure that the heat pump system is working at optimum efficiency providing a temperature output which is continually matched to the load on the building at any one time," he continued, noting that this control system - referred to as weather compensation - allows the system to work at its peak efficiency whilst still providing the heating capacity required by the building, thus maximising heat pump efficiency at all times.
The air source heat pump is connected to a number of internally positioned air handling units which are either mounted horizontally at high level or alternatively floor mounted dependent on the demands of the application.
Alternatively, this system could incorporate radiant panels which are also compatible with the higher temperature range of ICS heat pump units.
He also outlined that the installation of this system is made even more straightforward by the fact that all the pipe work within and around the building is a low pressure hot water system rather than gas/oil or in some cases refrigerant which also provides the additional benefit of cost savings in the form of reduced annual maintenance.
ICS Heat Pump Technology is the exclusive partner and master distributor for the full range of DeLonghi-Climaveneta and Heat Pumps in the UK and Ireland. This high specification range of heat pumps is provided via a network of approved partner installers offering a complete specification and installation service supported by the UK’s leading heat pump provider.
