ECOMOD CO2 commercial heat pumps take customers one step further towards Net Zero
T
he new ECOMOD CO2 monobloc air source heat pumps form part of Ideal Heating Commercial’s
range of next generation natural refrigerant heat pumps released in 2024, featuring maximum flow temperatures up to 70°C.
Natural refrigerants have a low GWP, making them the environmentally friendly option over their lifetime. In the case of ECOMOD CO2, which uses R744 natural refrigerant, the GWP rating is just 1, making them the ideal choice for customers with Net Zero commitments. An ultra-low GWP is both good for the planet and the pocket as high GWP refrigerants will only increase in price as they become scarcer.
ECOMOD CO2 heat pumps come in three outputs – 65kW, 95kW and 130kW – with even higher outputs possible when installed in a cascade arrangement, where up to six can be centrally controlled, operating from an intelligent lead controller. A high performing unit, they can operate at a design ambient temperature of -100C, with a seasonal co-efficient of performance (CoP) rating of 3 or better. Furthermore, ECOMOD CO2 can achieve high temperatures up to 70°C, making them suitable for DHW applications and district heating systems.
ECOMOD CO2 heat pumps are quiet in operation, but for absolute minimal background noise, a further model in the range - the CO2Q - benefits from a quiet noise level as low as a 71dB(A) rating.

Breathing Buildings’ NVHRe Wins at HVR Awards
B
reathing Buildings, a leading provider of controlled natural and hybrid ventilation systems, is celebrating winning ‘Commercial/ Industrial Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the prestigious HVR Awards 2024. The company impressed
the judges with its new NVHRe, Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery (NVHRe), which is its latest addition to its award-winning range of Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling (NVHR®) systems. Breathing Buildings scooped the award at a glittering awards ceremony on Thursday 12th September at London’s Chelsea Harbour Hotel.
Marking the next step in hybrid ventilation technology, the key difference between Breathing Buildings’ original NVHR® range and the new innovative Natural Ventilation with Heat Recycling and Heat Recovery (NVHRe) is an addition of a low resistance heat exchanger cell within the unit. This allows the unit to benefit from both heat recycling and heat recovery, reclaiming even more heat than previous models, saving more energy, providing great occupant comfort, and allowing users to include it within the building energy assessments (SBEM).
Alexis Roberts, Brand Manager at Breathing Buildings commented: “We are thrilled Breathing Buildings’ NVHRe has won the ‘Commercial/Industrial Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the prestigious HVR Awards 2024. Our NVHRe takes all the benefits of energy efficient hybrid ventilation one step further by providing natural ventilation with heat recycling and heat recovery.

Ground-breaking Toshiba USX Edge modular heat pump launched
he Toshiba Universal Smart X (USX) Series Edge high-capacity modular air source heat pump is now available. Engineered for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability, the USX is poised to deliver new innovations to the commercial and industrial HVAC landscape.
At the heart of the USX Series Edge are several technological breakthroughs. The system features an enhanced compressor design based on the world’s largest capacity DC twin rotary compressor, enabling the use of high-pressure, lower-GWP R32 refrigerant. A sophisticated module control system optimises internal water flow and pressure, significantly reducing wastewater while maintaining stable environmental conditions. Additionally, an industry-first pulse width modulation (PWM) converter enhances power factor, eliminates harmonic current issues, and reduces losses, contributing to a more compact and efficient design. The USX Series Edge is available in three sizes (50HP, 60HP, and 70HP) and three variants (Cooling Only, Standard Heat Pump, and Powerful Heating), catering to various commercial and industrial needs. Its modular architecture allows for unparalleled flexibility, with configurations of up to 128 module units capable of delivering a maximum power output of 3.2MW. This scalability ensures the USX Series Edge can meet the most complex demands. David McSherry, head of sales Toshiba HVAC UK, Carrier RLC EMEA said: “This product represents a paradigm shift in HVAC technology, offering businesses unprecedented efficiency and reliability to help meet their environmental responsibilities.”

Vent-Axia leads the way in domestic ventilation innovation at the HVR Awards
B
ritish ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia impressed the judges at this year’s HVR Awards with its groundbreaking innovation. The Sussex- based company scooped an award for its Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow within the ‘Domestic Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the HVR Awards 2024. Designed to help housebuilders manage overheating in new homes, the Lo-Carbon Sentinel
Econiq Cool-Flow is Vent-Axia’s latest flagship mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system combined with its intelligent Econiq Cool-Flow Module. Vent-Axia received the accolade at a glittering awards ceremony on Thursday 12th September at London’s Chelsea Harbour Hotel.
“We are delighted that the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow has been recognised by the industry for its innovation at the prestigious HVR Awards. As temperatures rise and homes become more thermally efficient, housebuilders are finding it difficult to achieve the requirements set out to mitigate the overheating risk in Part O and TM59 standards. To help solve these challenges we designed the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow which combines all the benefits of our market-leading mechanical ventilation with heat recovery with our intelligent Econiq Cool-Flow Module,” said Steve Pearce, Product Manager at Vent-Axia.
Offering powerful cooling the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow lowers fresh air supply temperature from ambient temperatures by up to 21 ºC utilizing R32 refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, over 50% lower than R134a.
