The Danae heat pump system is conceived for industrial applications and is available in 10 versions with cooling capacities ranging from 22.1 kW to 156.9 kW and heating capacities of 24.8 kW and 181.6 kW.
Italian heating and cooling specialist Tecnofreddo and Italy-based compressor manufacturer Frascold have launched a propane (R290) heat pump for applications that require increased temperatures.
The Danae heat pump system is based on the ATEX-HT compressors developed by Frascold and is said to be able to reach a temperature of 80 C. “These compessors have been built to maintain high reliability for raised temperatures and under continuous use,” Tecnofreddo said in a statement.
The heat pump also uses a line start permanent magnet (LSPM) electric motor, which ensures a significant increase in efficiency by 6% and combines the benefits of both induction and permanent magnetic engines, according to the manufacturers.
The new product is available in 10 versions with cooling capacities ranging from 22.1 kW to 156.9 kW and heating capacities of 24.8 kW and 181.6 kW.
The smallest system measures 3,300 mm x 1,150 mm x 2,500 mm and weighs 1,000 kg, while the largest has a size of 4,400 mm x 2,350 mm x 2,500 mm and weighs 2,350 kg.
In heating mode, the system has a performance coefficient (COP) from 3.63 to 3.82 and a seasonal performance companies (SCOP) from 3.29 to 3.75.
“The heat pump at high temperature developed with Frascold compressors marks a turning point in our industry, thanks to the ability to combine high performance and environmentalism,” said Gianmarco ASARO, marketing manager at Tecnofreddo. “The choice of R290 coolant, combined with advanced components, has enabled us to design a solution that not only matches the strict environmental regulations, but also with the growing needs of companies to reduce consumption and operating costs.”
