Introduction to the ASHP Series
The ASHP Series air source heat pump (ASHP) is designed for facilities that demand a reliable, high-temperature hot water supply, whether for hospitality, healthcare, education, or industry. Its innovative technology provides not only efficient heating but also an eco-conscious approach, using non-toxic, non-flammable CO2 refrigerant. With a focus on both performance and sustainability, the ASHP Series is engineered to support commercial hot water needs in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way.
ASHP Intsallation
Eco-Friendly and Powerful Performance
In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, the ASHP Series sets itself apart with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant, R744 (CO2). Known for its non-toxic and non-flammable properties, CO2 is considered one of the safest and most eco-friendly refrigerants on the market. By using R744, the ASHP Series delivers outstanding hot water production with minimal environmental impact, offering an ideal choice for businesses committed to sustainability.
High Temperature and High Efficiency
The ASHP Series excels in producing domestic hot water (DHW) up to 90°C, meeting the demands of high-capacity facilities. This high temperature not only ensures optimal hygiene standards in settings such as hospitals and hotels but also contributes to energy savings by reducing the need for additional heating. Moreover, the system’s high Coefficient of Performance (COP) ensures that it operates efficiently even under demanding conditions, maximising energy usage while minimising operational costs.
Built for Commercial Applications
Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of commercial facilities, the ASHP Series is available in models ranging from 10kW to 100kW, allowing businesses to select a unit that perfectly matches their hot water demand. The ASHP Series can deliver large volumes of hot water, making it suitable for settings with fluctuating demand cycles, such as sports centres, hotels, and office buildings. With high reliability and performance, the BB Series ensures a consistent hot water supply during peak periods.
Smart Technology Integration
The ASHP Series comes equipped with BMS (Building Management System) connectivity and an energy meter for real-time monitoring and efficient control. Through this integration, operators can easily track performance, manage energy consumption, and troubleshoot potential issues remotely. The BMS compatibility makes the ASHP Series a smart investment for large facilities, allowing seamless operation within existing building management infrastructures and contributing to greater energy savings.
Flexibility and Versatile Models
With a range of models from 10 to 100kW, the ASHP Series offers flexibility for installations of different sizes and hot water demands. This flexibility means that whether a facility requires a single unit or multiple units to meet its needs, the ASHP Series can be configured to provide consistent, high-temperature water with ease. The compact design of the units also makes them suitable for buildings with limited mechanical space.
Efficient Water Storage and Instantaneous Production
One of the standout features of the ASHP Series is its semi-instantaneous production of domestic hot water, achieved through a brazed plate heat exchanger and buffer storage system. The heat storage buffers are designed to maintain a minimum ∆T (temperature difference) across the primary flow and return, which enhances the unit’s efficiency and increases its COP.
When used in this configuration, it allows the ASHP Series to store hot water efficiently while providing on-demand DHW. This setup ensures that the ASHP Series can quickly respond to high-demand situations without compromising on temperature or efficiency.
DHW Recirculation and Water Storage
The ASHP Series supports a water recirculation loop, which when installed ensures a continuous supply of DHW and minimises the time required to heat water on demand. With hot primary flow generated by the ASHP and circulated through the primary side of the secondary plate heat exchanger (PHE), hot water is always available when needed, helping to conserve energy and minimise wait times.
For installations requiring additional temperature control, the ASHP Series can be equipped to include an auxiliary heater. This auxiliary heater can top up the DHW temperature, further improving comfort and efficiency for facilities with high or fluctuating demand cycles.
On-Demand DHW with Recirculation Loop
Combining efficient water storage with on-demand production, the ASHP Series supports both instantaneous hot water production and recirculation loops, creating a system that’s flexible and highly responsive to demand. This dual approach ensures that the system can handle peak demands without sacrificing efficiency. The recirculation loop, when paired with the heat storage buffers, ensures hot water is available immediately when needed, enhancing user satisfaction and energy efficiency.

Compact, Quiet, and Easy to Install
The ASHP Series offers a relatively compact design, which allows for easier installation even in facilities with limited mechanical space. Despite its powerful performance, the ASHP Series operates quietly, making it suitable for environments where noise reduction is a priority, such as residential buildings and hotels. Additionally, the modular nature of the system allows components to be shipped separately and assembled on-site, simplifying transportation and setup.
Conclusion: Why the ASHP Series Stands Out
The ASHP Series represents a significant advancement in commercial hot water solutions, offering high temperatures, eco-friendly performance, and intelligent features in a compact package. With options for instantaneous DHW generation, buffer storage, and recirculation loops, it provides facilities with flexibility, efficiency, and peace of mind.
For commercial facilities that require a consistent, on-demand supply of hot water, the ASHP Series delivers reliable performance with minimal environmental impact. Whether your priority is reducing energy costs, improving hot water availability, or advancing sustainability goals, the ASHP Series offers a future-proof solution designed to meet modern commercial needs.
