Sponsored by: Carrier unveils new generation of heat pumps
CARRIER HAS INTRODUCED a new generation of AquaSnap air-to-water scroll heat pumps with Greenspeed intelligence, offering new levels of efficiency and performance for building owners.
The new generation of 30RQP AquaSnap heat pumps combines simplicity and intelligence.
The product features the latest technologies including variable-speed driven fans, brazed plate heat exchangers with asymmetric channels, electronic expansion valves and a full colour touch-screen user display.
This new range includes an innovative defrosting method, which can be used without
consuming any additional energy.
Therefore, it can significantly improve the seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of the heat pump by up to 12% compared with earlier AquaSnap models. This defrosting method generates shorter payback, higher efficiency and reliability and improved comfort, reducing noise and vibration emission level as well as environmental impact.
The built-in hydraulic modules with optional variable-speed driven pumps can electronically control the variable water flow to meet real application needs during partial load operation
and stand-by periods, thus significantly reducing the pumping energy consumption by two-thirds. The modules also feature electronic sensors for automatic pump protection against cavitation and for water flow electronic reading and setting. The energy efficiency performance of the AquaSnap heat pumps with Greenspeed intelligence already meets the 2017 European Ecodesign regulation with a SCOP value in heating of up to 3.38. Additionally, the new range offers segment leading performance with European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) values in cooling of up to 4.28.
In addition, the new AquaSnap range uses proven technology that Carrier service teams are familiar with and trained on to maintain. AquaSnap heat pumps are produced in France and are available for delivery now to the European, Middle East and African regions.

BSRIA’S NEWLY RELEASED heat pump study shows continued growth in the global heat pump market with the market value reaching $5.4bn (¤4bnn euros) in 2014, up 1.7% from 2013.
The increase was driven by positive growth rates recorded in Europe and in North America, while in Asia the market was curbed by the slowdown of the Chinese economy and an increase in competition leading to the increased pressure on prices in Japan. Despite the market pressure, Japan remains the biggest market worldwide, in terms of value, reaching
