A next-generation heat pump: The ROTEX HPSU compact Ultra
Slated to debut on the market at the end of 2017, the HPSU compact Ultra will set new standards for air-to-water heat pumps. Equipped with a new compressor and the refrigerant R-32, the system achieves outstanding efficiency, with a coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 5.4 (A7/W35). In addition, since a flow temperature of up to 65°C is possible without using a heating element, the heat pump has a wider variety of applications – for new buildings, modernized properties and multi-family housing connected in cascade. The HPSU compact Ultra combines cutting-edge heat pump technology with an integrated heat storage tank – enabling heating, cooling and hot water requirements to be met by a single system. The new ROTEX eye control system ensures fast and easy commissioning.
As part of the Bluevolution series, the HPSU compact Ultra heat pump is one of the DAIKIN group’s products that uses the future-fit refrigerant R-32. With its low global warming potential (GWP) of 675, R-32 is playing an important role in cutting carbon dioxide emissions. Thanks to their low GWP ratings, all Bluevolution products already comply with the new regulations governing the emission of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) for 2025. The DAIKIN group is in the vanguard with the introduction of this new heat pump technology.
In addition, the air-to-water heat pump belongs to the group of ECH2O products. All ROTEX products with this label are based on a unique heat storage principle. What’s more, they are extremely compact, ensure very convenient hot water production and, as open systems, can be used in combination with additional heat sources.
The ROTEX HPSU compact Ultra will be available as of the end of 2017, initially with capacities ranging from 4kW to 8kW.
