ICS Cool Energy’s heat pump division, ICS Heat Pumps, has recently supplied and installed three energy efficient inverterdriven air source units to a college in the north of England to recover and reuse air to provide heating for staff and students.
The three AW i-KI MTD units are controlled via a cascade module and achieve COP (coefficient of performance) levels of 4.02. Offering various energy
saving features including inverter compressors, the units provide small startup currents for sites where electrical supply is an issue, as well as weather sensors which take advantage of solar gains, and accurate ambient air temperature readings.
The energy efficient heat pumps were installed within the college’s internal plant room to recover the lantern energy of the return air duct of the exciting air handling unit. The units recover wasted heat which is exerted from the air handling system at a temperature of 15°C and redistributed to heat staff and students within the main building.
The units are ideal for buildings which are used by personnel as they are quiet and compact; exerting a noise level of 50dB(A) at 1 metre, and therefore don’t
need to be situated far from staff and students enabling personnel to work in a comfortable environment without distractions from the temperature control
system.
