Hamworthy adds heat pumps to commercial range

The Tyneham is Hamworthy Heating’s first monobloc air source heat pump range, designed for commercial applications. It’s one of the smallest commercial heat pumps and has a co-efficient of performance (CoP) rating of up to 4.85, to provide efficient,

low-carbon heating.

The range has seven models with six nominal outputs of 14kW to 70kW, which can be cascaded to achieve higher outputs in larger installations. Incorporating inverter controller compressor to accurately match the heat demand, RG32 refrigerant also maximises low global warming potential.

All components are housed in the compact and lightweight main unit for ease of commission and installation. Additional options include flexible hoses, anti-vibration feet, externally mounted control units, and single-phase units. Heat pumps can be combined with Hamworthy modular boilers to create a hybrid heating system. www.hamworthy-heating.com

ESi’s newest heating control is the RTP4 Touch programmable room thermostat, suitable for combi, system and heat-only boilers. When installed with the ESi Wi-Fi hub, heating and hot water can be controlled via Alexa or the ESi Centro App. Load compensation functionality, available via OpenTherm, modulates the flow temperature according to the desired room temperature, saving up to 15 per cent on gas usage.

The RTP4 Touch has a large backlit LCD and touch screen for ease of use and programming.

The control slots in neatly between ESi’s RTP4RF units and its 6 Series WIFI programmable room thermostats. It offers optimum start/ stop and delayed-start functions for additional cost savings; 7-day, 5/2-day or 24-hour options to suit the user’s lifestyle; automatic summer/winter change settings and has home, manual, away, sleep and holiday modes. It also comes with a landlord’s service interval reminder. www.esicontrols.co.uk

The Gas and Plumbing industry is undergoing one of the most developmental periods in recent years. Emerging technologies and changing consumer needs have opened up doors for brand new industry approaches and there’s never been a more exciting time to get involved.

Eastleigh College are proud to champion one of these emerging technologies in Air Source Heat Pumps. These devices utilise renewable energy to create more sustainable heating and plans are in place to introduce these in both domestic and industrial environments. However, with only 20% of heating engineers being qualified to install heat pumps, the demand for training in this sector is high.

Our course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to help roll out this important new technology across the country and create a more sustainable future.
