Italian heat pump manufacturer Clivet has launched a new air heat pump for applications in commercial buildings.
“Our new heat pump meets different types of applications thanks to its full inverter technology on compressors and fans and its wide operating range,” the company said in a statement. “It is designed to connect up to seven units in a local network, achieving a maximum system capacity of 1,660 kW.”
The new product, called Large EV PL, uses R32 (difluoromethane) as refrigerant and rotary/scroll compressors with inverter. It also features high-efficiency DC fans with variable speed control and copper aluminum coils with hydrophilic treatment.
The new series has a capacity range from 44 kW to 238 kW and the manufacturer ensures that the seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) can be as high as 4.17, while the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) is indicated at 4.65.
The system can provide a water temperature of up to 60 C at an ambient temperature of -4 C to 30 C, and up to 45 C at -20 C.
“Large EVO PL is equipped with Clivet’s patented smart defrost technology that can evaluate which type of defrost is most suitable: traditional defrost where hot refrigerant vapor is produced to the coil and evaporated in the hot circuit or defrost where hot refrigerant vapor is produced to the coil produced and evaporated in the cold side circuit, avoiding the dissipation of thermal power, thus achieving greater overall energy savings during the operating period guaranteed,” the company said.
Clivet is headquartered in Feltre, in Italy’s northern province of Belluno. It also produces boilers, chillers and air handling units.
