Carrier, an American heating solutions provider, has introduced a new line of 4-14 kW heat pumps with a coefficient of performance of up to 4.90. The system uses propane as the coolant and can reach a leaving water temperature of 75°C.
Carrier has launched a new series of air-to-water heat pumps for residential and commercial building applications.
“Offering an impressive price-performance ratio, this monoblock features a compact footprint and low refrigerant charge, which also helps to reduce environmental impact,” the manufacturer noted in its Linkedin account, emphasizing that the new product is designed for outdoor installation in an area open.
The AquaSnap 30 AWH-P monoblock system uses propane (R290) as the refrigerant and is available in eight versions – 6 single-phase models and 2 three-phase models – with nominal power ranging from 4 kW to 14 kW and a coefficient of performance (COP) ranging from 4.90 to 4.80 .
The smallest product measures 946mm x 560mm x 927mm and weighs 79.3kg, with noise levels of up to 49dB(A). The largest system measures 946mm x 560mm x 1375mm, weighs 129.3kg, and has a noise level of 54 dB(A).
In heating mode, heat pumps can operate at an outside air temperature of -20°C, while in cooling they can operate up to 46°C. The outlet water temperature can reach up to 75°C, according to the manufacturer.
“The AquaSnap 30AWH-P can be equipped with up to four units to meet the heating and cooling needs of light commercial applications,” explains Carrier. “Each unit can individually meet the requirements of the space in which it is installed.”
The heat pumps also include a portal that allows for remote home comfort management through the Carrier Comfort Management app.
“Delivering high performance, the 30AWH-P range is compatible with low to medium temperature emitters, such as underfloor heating, fan coils, water cassettes, radiators and combination installations,” the company notes. “And even high heat emitters for refurbishment applications such as boiler replacement.”
