GTE - CO2 Heat Pumps
Co2 Heat Pumps Provide The Opportunity To Utilise And Integrate Renewable Technology Within A Project, Satisfying A 52-Week Defined Hot Water Requirement.
In comparison to standard heat pumps using chemical refrigerants a natural refrigerant CO2 heat pump provides a real benefit in terms of efficiently delivering outlet temperatures of over 70ºC
- Using CO2 as a refrigerant enables high-temperature hot water to be delivered with greater efficiency
- No need to consider medium temperature 45ºC heating circuit integration to achieve renewable targets
- Air, water or ground source CO2 systems available
- CO2 scores high with respect to BREEAM and environmental standards. The gas is a natural refrigerant with a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 1, signifying minimal risk.
CO2 Heat Pumps for both retrofit and new build applications
Heat Pumps are a source of renewable hot water generation at your site, whether residential or commercial:
- The Renewable Heat Incentive (NDRHI) could give greater returns with respect to retrofit applications.
- Hot water production within a 52-week period is preferable to seasonal heating only. This setup greatly reduces both cost and carbon emissions.
CO2 Heat Pump Systems – for both Practical and Cost-Saving Benefits
To meet the highest environmental standards, equipment should operate using natural refrigerants like CO2. Here are just some of the advantages to utilising this refrigerant:
- COST & CARBON SAVINGS.
- High-temperature heaters are available from either air & ground/water source.
- Proven technology provides both cooling and hot water
- Delivers a COP of 4 when producing water at 65ºC
- R410 model delivers COP of 1.9 when producing hot water at 65ºC
- Carbon dioxide is twice as efficient as conventional refrigerants
