The company says that its new SL22KLV heat pump system can supply heat in temperatures as low as -28.9 C. It uses R -454B as a coolant and has a size ranging from 2 tons to 5 tons.
The VS -based heating specialist Lennox has unveiled a new heat pump for extreme cold temperatures.
Discerned SL22KLV, the new heat pump system would have an efficiency assessment of a maximum of 21 for seasonal energy -efficiency ratio 2 (seer2), 13.2 for energy -efficiency ratio 2 (EEA2) and 10.5 for heating seasonal performance 2 (HSPF2).
The new product uses R-454B as the coolant and has a size ranging from 2 tons to 5 tons. The number of tons does not refer to its weight, but to it Ton heat that a house needs.
The cooling capacity is assessed on between 22,000 BTUTS and 56,000 BTUT, while the heating capacity varies from 21,600 BTUH and 60,000 BTUT.
The heat pump has a size of 908 mm x 1,010 mm x 1.181 mm and is said to deliver heating at temperatures as low as -28.9 C.
“The compressor with variable speed, equipped with electronic coolant injection (ERI) technology, adjusts energy consumption dynamically based on outside temperatures, reducing energy costs,” the company said in a statement. “Moreover, the heat pump has a precision-from-balanced, direct-drive fan and sound-damping system for ultra-quiet operation and a peaceful home environment.”
The noise level of the system is assessed at 59 dB. It is designed with a composite unit base and at the top, removable louver panel and can be linked to a Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat.
“We are committed to promoting heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technology to meet the developing needs of our customers,” said Prakash Bedapudi, Chief Technology Officer at Lennox. “The SL22KLV is an example of our dedication to innovation, in which advanced functions are integrated that ensure optimum performance and energy efficiency, even in the most challenging climates.”
