Units Installed in a Modular Building In Sudbury, London
The building only has electricity for its heating so the client opted for heat pump units for maximum efficiency.
We were excited to be commissioned for an interesting project in Sudbury, London. The location was a modular building with only electricity available to meet its heating needs. Obviously, electrical heating is a very expensive way of heating a building, especially a commercial one so we put our heads down with the building project managers and came up with a solution for cooling and heat using heat pumps.
Heat pumps are an integral part of an air conditioning system. They work by transferring heat from one area to another one via the refrigerant. Heat pumps are a particularly cost-effective heating method with air source heat pumps recognised as renewable heat technology.
While cooling, the heat pump transfers heat from inside to the outside thus cooling the inside area. To heat an internal space, heat pumps extract heat from the outside air. The pumps operate efficiently even if the outside temperature is down to -20°C. This heat extracted from the atmosphere is directed to heat to the internal spaces. Air source heat pumps provide 100% of heating requirements particularly in temperate climates such as the UK.
The heat pumps today can reduce electricity usage by up to 50% compared to other heating systems. In addition, they have the benefit of dehumidifying better than standard air conditioning resulting in less energy use and more efficient cooling in hot weather. Combined with the inverter technology supplied by the Mitsubishi external units chosen for this project, the heat pump system is particularly efficient, with simple operation and maintenance and usually a lower initial investment.
In total, we installed seven different systems in the building using a combination of ceiling mounted and wall mounted distribution units and of course our bank of external Mitsubishi inverter technology heat pump units.
