UK-based Wondrwall says its new heat pump has a coefficient of performance of up to 4.99, with an inlet-outlet temperature of 30 C to 35 C. The system is based on the company’s AI-powered Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to manage household energy flows efficiently.
Wondrwall, a UK-based energy equipment and solutions provider, this week launched what it claims is the solution the world’s “most intelligent” heat pump system for residential applications.
“Fully integrated with Wondrwall’s AI-powered Home Energy Management System (HEMS), this monobloc air-to-water heat pump redefines low-carbon heating efficiency by reducing energy consumption, lowering operating costs and supporting grid flexibility,” said the company in a statement. “With Wondrwall HEMS and intelligent heat pump controls, heating energy bills can be reduced by more than 80% compared to comparable homes with a standalone heat pump.”
The new product uses propane (R290) as a refrigerant and is available in two versions: WDR-HP-006-UK and WDR-HP-008-UK.
The smaller system measures 1,187mm x 808mm x 438mm and weighs 110kg. It has a maximum power consumption of 3.5 kW and a sound power level of 60 dB(A). The coefficient of performance (COP) ranges from 3.06 at a water inlet-outlet temperature of 47 C to 55 C to a COP of 4.77 at a water inlet-outlet temperature of 30 C to 35 C.
The larger model measures 1,287mm by 908mm by 458mm and weighs 134kg. It offers a maximum power consumption of 5.4 kW and has a sound power level of 58 dB(A). The COP ranges from 3.12 at a water inlet-outlet temperature of 47 C to 55 C to 4.96 at 30 C to 35 C.
In cooling mode, the products operate between 14°C and 45°C, with a water outlet temperature range from 5°C to 25°C. In heating mode, they operate from -15°C to 45°C, with a water outlet temperature range from 20°C to 75°C. domestic hot water, their operating range is 25 C to 45 C, with a water outlet temperature range of 20 C to 65 C.
The systems also feature automatic tuning to adapt to the building’s heat loss and predictive weather compensation. These functions allow them to adapt energy demand to grid requirements, without affecting the comfort of residents.
“Not only are we launching an intelligent heat pump solution that delivers impressive energy efficiency, but for the first time we are opening up the Wondrwall system to all heat pump manufacturers, allowing everyone to benefit from the energy saving potential our technology has to offer. ,” said CEO Daniel Burton.
