The Italian manufacturer said its Gemini air-to-water heat pump is intended for commercial and industrial applications. It reportedly achieves a coefficient of performance of up to 3.28 and delivers hot water temperatures of up to 60C.
Italian heating and cooling specialist MTA Spa has launched a modular air-to-water heat pump system for commercial and industrial applications.
“The Gemini heat pump is designed for applications that require flexibility, scalability and a smaller installation footprint,” the company said in a statement. “Scalable system configurations and an optional hydraulic modularity kit allow up to six units to be connected on site, delivering heating capacities from 84 to 900 kW and cooling capacities from 87 kW to more than 1 MW.”
The system is available in six versions, with heating capacities ranging from 83.7 kW to 148.5 kW and cooling capacities ranging from 83.4 kW to 147.4 kW.
The smallest unit measures 2,774 mm x 1,115 mm x 2,327 mm and weighs 785 kg. It reportedly achieves a coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 3.28 and a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of 4.04. The noise level is between 84.8 dB(A) and 95.7 dB(A).
The largest system measures 3,741 mm x 1,115 mm x 2,327 mm and weighs 1,157 kg. The COP reaches up to 3.14, while the SCOP is indicated at 3.62. The noise level is between 86.9 dB(A) and 92.4 dB(A).
Use all models R454B as a refrigerant, with a global warming potential (GWP) of 466.
Each unit has hermetic scroll compressors and an air-cooled condenser with copper tubes and aluminum fins. It is also equipped with axial fans with aluminum blades and an evaporator with plate heat exchanger. The unit also features IP54 rated electrical cabinet protection, a microprocessor based control system and an electronic expansion valve.
“The heat pump range achieves SCOP improvements of up to 18% while delivering hot water temperatures of up to 60C all year round,” the manufacturer said.
MTA is headquartered in Tribano, in the province of Padua, in the Veneto region of Italy. It develops and produces chillers, heat pumps and process cooling systems for commercial, industrial and comfort applications. The portfolio focuses on high-efficiency, low-GWP refrigerant technologies and integrated thermal management systems.
