GMC AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP

Air-to-Air Heat Pump can provide heating and cooling for the home. It also features advanced air purification technology, which is particularly beneficial to allergy sufferers.

The heat pump comprises an outdoor and an indoor unit, which convert latent energy in the air (even on the coldest days) into heat for your home. The outdoor unit extracts the energy in air outside the property. This heat, absorbed by refrigerant solution within the unit, is turned into hot air by the indoor unit and distributed within the property.


These pumps can be used in a variety of buildings with multiple uses from domestic to commercial properties. For every Kw of electric to put into these units you get 3 out. Combine this system with a Solar PV system and you will drastically reduce your heating bills, but also in the summer you have an AC unit.

Example Case Study

Building  

-

Office accommodation

Occupation

-

9am-5pm

Layout 

-

100m2 open plan

With the example office accommodation, the use of an Air Source heat pump combined with Solar PV would see a drastic decrease in energy consumption for the building. The Solar PV modules would be generating power throughout the day supplying the Air Source Heat Pump with free electricity to Generate Heat. While supplying other office equipment with free electricity.

The Added bonus from the Air Source Heat Pump is the same unit can be use to cool the area during the summer.

Solar PV and Air Source Heat Pump a great combination for any office accommodation.
The example explained is an office, however the same system would work perfectly in some domestic circumstances.
