Viessmann Climate Solutions UK – part of Carrier Global Corporation – has launched a 40 kW air source heat pump for larger properties, public sector applications and small- to mid-scale commercial installations.
Providing both heating and cooling within a single appliance, the Vitocal 250-A Pro is energy rated A+++ for both low and medium temperature applications. It uses the natural propane refrigerant R290.
Thanks to its maximum flow temperature of 70 oC, it can be used with existing radiator systems in many cases, making it ideal for larger modernisation projects.
Installation is faster thanks to factory-installed operating and safety devices, while the weather-compensated remote monitoring and control system mean operation and maintenance are also greatly simplified.
The design, incorporating vibration decoupling and sound jacketing, ensures the Vitocal 250-A Pro is very quiet in operation.
Viessmann Product Manager, Hugh Jones, said:
The 250-A Pro stands out because of its looks, its performance and its environmental credentials. This is a premium heat pump that fills a gap in the market for a highly efficient, propane solution for larger installations. We have a number of customers lined up who have been waiting for an appliance that can offer this level of quality and efficiency at the scale and price point they need.
The Vitocal 250-A Pro can be operated in bi- or monovalent modes. Requiring a three-phase electrical supply, its 40 kW output is sufficient for very large, detached houses or apartment buildings with four to five flats. Next year, the facility to cascade up to four units together will be added, further extending its range of applications.
