The new ECOMOD CO2 monobloc air source heat pumps form part of Ideal Heating Commercial’s range of next generation natural refrigerant heat pumps released in 2024, featuring maximum flow temperatures up to 70°C.
As the name implies, natural refrigerants are those that occur naturally, as opposed to synthetically made. They have a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making them the environmentally friendly option over their lifetime.
In the case of ECOMOD CO2, which uses R744 natural refrigerant, the GWP rating is just 1, making them the ideal choice for customers with net zero commitments. An ultra-low GWP is both good for the planet and the pocket as high GWP refrigerants will only increase in price as they become scarcer.
ECOMOD CO2 heat pumps come in three outputs – 65kW, 95kW and 130kW – with even higher outputs possible when installed in a cascade arrangement, where up to six can be centrally controlled, operating from an intelligent lead controller. A high performing unit, they can operate at a design ambient temperature of -10⁰C, with a seasonal co-efficient of performance (CoP) rating of 3 or better.
Furthermore, ECOMOD CO2 can achieve high temperatures up to 70°C, making them suitable for Domestic Hot Water (DHW) applications and district heating systems.
ECOMOD CO2 heat pumps are quiet in operation, but for absolute minimal background noise, a further model in the range – the CO2Q – benefits from a quiet noise level as low as a 71dB(A) rating
ECOMOD CO2 and ECOMOD 290HT form Ideal Heating Commercial’s range of natural refrigerant heat pumps. As with all ECOMOD heat pumps, they can be installed alongside other Ideal Heating commercial solutions, including the market-leading Evomax 2 and Imax Xtra 2 commercial condensing boilers, to build a low carbon hybrid heating system.
Ideal Heating delivers commercial heating solutions that are at the forefront of technology and developed in line with the latest market trends and legislation. For more information, visit idealcommercialboilers.com/products/ecomod-co2-co2q
