- The new Phnix HeatMaster heat pump has an ozone depletion potential of 0
- The system is available in six different versions ranging from 5kW – 120 kW
- It achieves optimal performance from -25°c to 43°c
Phnix, a China-based heat pump manufacturer, has launched a ‘smarter’ heat pump, based on its original Phnix HeatMaster technology, which is designed to be integrated with solar power systems.
The heat pump features photovoltaic, or PV-ready advanced smart control technology, and has a global warming potential (GWP) of three and ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero, making it extremely eco friendly.
In a statement, the company described the PV-ready system as “particularly valuable for businesses that are looking to maximize the use of their solar energy systems”.
The HeatMaster gives the user the ability to precisely control energy usage and heating output via its multiple control modes, including Standby, Low-power, Middle-power, and High-power modes.
It allows for centralised control, which simplifies co-ordination of solar systems in large commercial settings.
The company commented that as energy demands increase, especially during peak operation times, the ability to draw power from an alternative, sustainable source, like solar, is a huge advantage.
The heat pump also calibrates the inlet and outlet water temperature for even more control and adaptability to business or household needs.
It uses propane (R290) as the refrigerant and can reach a water temperature of 75°C, although achieves optimal performance between -25°C – 43°C.
“With multiple operation modes and precise water temperature control, the HeatMaster Series is designed to meet the unique needs of today’s commercial environments,” explained the company.
The system is available in six different varieties and has a heat capacity varying from 5kW – 120 kW, and noise levels from 40dBA to 65dBA, size dependent.
The smallest product measures 1,020mm × 448mm × 605mm and has a weight of 55kg. It has a coefficient of performance (COP) of 5 at temperatures ranging from 15°C – 20°C and of 1.80 at -15°C.
The largest product measures 2,170mm × 1,150mm × 2,130mm and weighs 733kg.It has a COP of 4.65 at temperatures between 15°C – 20°C, and of 1.86 at -15° C.
Troy Wang, sales director in charge of PHNIX Commercial HVAC Sales division, said: “In the context of the sharp increase in global fuel prices, to save costs and better meet this major economic challenge.
“The introduction of this heat pump to meet the long-term, high-volume demand for hot water seems to be the perfect choice and will gradually become a necessity.”
Phnix’s range of heat pumps covers the complete industry chain, including swimming pool heat pumps and industrial and agricultural heat pump dryers.
