The Italian manufacturer has expanded its range of propane monobloc heat pumps with new models that deliver a supply temperature of up to 85 C and achieve a seasonal coefficient of performance of 4.95.
Italy-based heating specialist Ferroli has expanded its Omnia Life M monobloc air-to-water heat pump platform with the launch of new high-capacity 26T-35T models, aimed at medium to large residential and light commercial applications requiring higher thermal efficiency and higher supply temperatures.
The Omnia Life M 26T–35T models use propane (R290) as a refrigerant and rely on DC inverter compressors that enable variable speed operation to meet thermal demand and optimize seasonal efficiency.
“They are supplied as complete units with an integrated hydronic module and ensure fast, safe and practical installation,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “For larger applications, the units support installation in multiple cascade configurations, consisting of one master unit – managed directly by the controller – and up to five slave units.”
The heat pumps can reportedly deliver supply temperatures of up to 85 C, while operating in low ambient conditions down to around -20 C. This makes the system a viable replacement for traditional fossil fuel boilers in renovation scenarios where high-temperature radiant heaters are already installed, the company said.
The new products cover a nominal power range of approximately 26 to 35 kW per unit. In cascade configurations of up to six units, the system can be scaled up to a total heating capacity of more than 150 kW.
The systems can reportedly achieve a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 4.95 and a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 5.21.
Other key design features include a three-phase power supply, an integrated hydronic kit to simplify installation, and a monobloc outdoor configuration that eliminates the need for on-site refrigerant treatment.
“The units are suitable for outdoor installation and can produce water temperatures of up to 85C, making them ideal for radiant panels, fan coil units, radiators and for the indirect production of domestic hot water (DHW) via an optional external storage tank,” the manufacturer said.
Founded in 1955, Ferroli is headquartered in San Bonifacio, near Verona, northern Italy. The company designs and manufactures a wide range of solutions, including heat pumps, boilers and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
