The Netherlands-based home and office energy specialist raised capital to expand its offering into Italy, Spain, France, and Scandinavia. It is already active in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
US-based Johnson Controls says its new screw heat pump is able to deliver high-temperature hot water as high as 80 C. The system reportedly has a combined coefficient of performance of 4.1.
The Italian manufacturer said the heat pump has a seasonal coefficient of performance of 3.80 to 4.80. The new product can reportedly operate from -15 C to 52 C in cooling mode and from -20 C to 30 C in heating mode.
Scientists in the United Kingdom have proposed to combine residential thermoelectric heat pumps with heat storage tanks and have found this solution offers a higher heat output, a higher coefficient of performance, and shorter heating time. They stressed that thermoelectric heat pumps are easily combinable with DC photovoltaic energy.
UK researchers have evaluated the impact that heat pumps could have on fuel poverty in England and Scotland. They have found that the benefits heat pumps can provide exist in both scenarios.
Swedish heat pump manufacturer Aira has secured financing to expand its business, which targets the residential market. It has also obtained a grant to establish a heat pump production facility in Poland.
According to the manufacturer, the new Inverter Ducted Split (IDS) Ultra heat pump can provide 100% heating capacity at an outdoor temperature of -15 C and can operate down to – 25 C.
Germany’s Electrofleet has invested in its virtual power plant technology partner Dieenergiekoppler. The two collaborate to enable mid-sized businesses to use self-produced renewable energy based on fixed price contracts. Dieenergiekoppler’s latest financing round solidified the collaboration.
The Chinese manufacturer said its new propane heat pump has a seasonal coefficient of performance exceeding 5.0.
Researchers in Sweden sought to raise the efficiency of ground source heat pumps by combining their operation with that of PVT systems and free cooling. Through a series of simulations, they found that this integrated solution may reduce borehole length and land area requirements.
