Vaillant ’ s aroTHERM plus is one of the greenest heat pumps available on the market and is designed to exceed the heating requirements of today . Last year , the aroTHERM won Best Heat Pump at the GREEN Home Awards and Heat Pump Product of the Year at the National ACR & Heat Pump Awards . It uses a natural refrigerant which has an exceptionally low global warming potential of just 3 .
The Quiet Mark awarded aroTHERM plus heat pump range is available in 3.5kW , 5kW , 7kW and 12kW outputs , making it suitable for most domestic properties and can be cascaded for commercial use .
Without compromising on performance , the aroTHERM plus can provide up to 25 % more usable hot water and can reach flow temperatures up to 75 ° C , removing the need for an electric immersion heater for legionella protection .
WARMFLOW ZENO AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS
For over 50 years , Warmflow has been creating innovative , award winning heating products for homes across the UK & Ireland . From the outset of designing the Warmflow Zeno heat pump it was conceived to be one of the most efficient appliances in its class . Unlike most other heat pumps which produce heat at a fixed output , this heat pump makes use of the latest variable speed compressor technology to produce heat at the rate you need . This gives the heat pump a wide output range and it automatically modulates within this range depending on your heat demands . For ease of installation , the pump and flow switch are conveniently housed within the heat pump casing . This speeds up installation and minimises wiring and plumbing needed on site .
The unit also has an inbuilt monitoring system , which monitors flow temperature and system temperatures for easy commissioning . A dedicated wiring centre greatly simplifies connection to external wiring and sensors making this heat pump very easy to install and service . Independent tests have shown its efficiency to be up to 555 % at A7W35 . This means that for every 1kW of electricity consumed 5.55kW of heat is produced .
WORCESTER BOSCH COMPRESS 7400IAW AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP
