Integrated design: the byword for efficiency and sustainability with CO2 condensing units

Blog
An integrated approach to designing HVAC and refrigeration systems is a further step forward in the ongoing quest for energy efficiency.  This strategy allows running cost energy savings also for supermarkets by exploiting the synergies created between HVAC and refrigeration systems. For instance, the heat extracted from refrigerated counters can be recovered and used by the HVAC...

Airborne infectivity control by proper IAQ while minimising environmental impact

Blog
IAQ plays a critical role in both safeguarding human health and influencing our well-being , not only representing our direct exposure to commonly known pollutants such as CO 2 , volatile organic compounds and particulate matter, but also through its role in the spread of airborne pathogens. In fact, the concentration of pollutants in the indoor environments where we spend a significant...

Q&A about heat pumps

Blog
Heat pumps have been a hot topic for the last few years: their aim is to replace all other types of space/water heating systems over the next 10-15 years, in order to reach the decarbonisation targets defined worldwide. Having worked in this market for more than 20 years, I have been involved in hundreds of Q&A sessions about heat pump technology, ranging from academic studies to the...

Market trends and types of heat pumps based on circuit architecture

Blog
In the previous blog post “ Types of heat pumps: sources and heat distribution system in the building ”, we saw how heat pumps can be classified according to how they exchange heat with the outside source and the indoor environment. We will now examine the final classification that can be made regarding heat pumps, i.e. the architecture of the units, each with its own characteristics,...

Types of heat pumps: sources and heat distribution system in the building

Blog
In the previous blog post “ Heat pumps and refrigerant circuits ”, we saw what a heat pump is, the basic principles of the refrigerant circuit and the indices that define its efficiency. In this article we will examine the classification of heat pumps according to the method of heat exchange with the outside (source) and heat distribution to the rooms in the building . To work properly,...

The heat pump industry is pushing the limits!

Blog
As we all know, the large industrial heat pump industry is growing really fast, especially in the EU. However, the rest of the world will certainly soon follow.  For many years the main market for heat pumps has mainly been in households , i.e. large volumes, an HFC refrigerant and the use of standard components that have “always” been available on the market. These components were...

Heat pumps: how much is enough?

Blog
Heat pumps are seen as a key technology in decarbonization since they do not emit carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) when generating heat or cold from renewable sources while contributing to increasing the energy efficiency of buildings. They are able to provide high-performance heating and cooling by using electricity, thereby avoiding the emissions from gas, oil and coal boilers. Specifically, heat...

Heat pumps and refrigerant circuits

Blog
Introduction It is now well known that heat pump technology is a key tool in achieving the decarbonisation of building heating systems and meeting the emission reduction objectives set globally and in particular by the EU, which aims to make Europe the first continent with a zero environmental impact.   The heat pumps currently available on the market can boast an average energy...
