The energy costs for the old chillers were increasing significantly year-on-year and they were becoming
more unreliable so we needed to replace the system and wanted a low carbon solution.
” Collette Germon, Sustainability and Energy manager
Langdon Hospital in Dawlish needed to replace an aging heating and cooling system, so Devon Partnership NHS Trust needed a reliable, sustainable, low carbon system that had a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and in-built resilience.
The solution involved three e-Series EAHV heat pump units for heating and two e-Series EACV chillers for the cooling. In the winter months they provide underfloor heating and in the summer months they deliver underfloor cooling.
“The energy costs for the old chillers were increasing significantly year-on-year and they were becoming more unreliable so we needed to replace the system and wanted a low carbon solution,” explained Collette Germon, Sustainability and Energy manager for the Trust.
It’s not just commercial buildings
that are
benefiting from heat pumps,
although the
rhino habitat at Chester Zoo is bigger than the average UK house! But if a heat pump can keep a rhino house warm, then
it can heat about any home. just The Rhino habitat at Chester Zoo
“We need to keep our indoor rhino habitat temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees, but their home has big open doors, allowing the animals free movement to their outdoor habitat, which can lead to significant heat loss,” explains Jen Kelly, Head of Sustainability at the Zoo.
Mitsubishi Electric’s experts worked closely with the zoo’s facilities and design teams to replace the previous fossil-fuel heating with six Ecodan air source heat pumps.

In the case of a 1,000-pupil comprehensive school in Ruthin, Wales, three gas boilers were replaced directly with two air source heat pumps.
The school is maintained by the Denbighshire Education Authority which is working to net zero by 2030.
“As part of this we are looking at all our schools as an area where we know we can make a direct impact on carbon emissions,” explained Cllr Barry Mellor, Denbighshire County Council, adding: “This will lead to savings in both running costs and carbon emissions for both of us.”

We needed to find a cost-effective solution that could achieve those high temperatures without needing all that extra work to be done
