Hitachi’s new R32 heat pump hat trick
This autumn, Hitachi is launching three new ranges of its popular Yutaki heat pumps all using low GWP R32 refrigerant. The twin fan Yutaki M monobloc has been updated to include four new models – 11kW, 12kW, 13kW and 16kW, with the introduction of the hydrosplit wall-mounted Yutaki H and pre-plumbed Yutaki Hcombi cylinder completing the release.
Y
utaki H and HCombi are hydrosplit systems with the heat exchanger and refrigerant circuit sealed within the outdoor unit and connected to the indoor unit via
hydraulic connections. This “plug and play” concept opens up the world of heat pump sales, installation and servicing to gas engineers, heating engineers and plumbers since the sealed system means there’s no refrigerant handling or F-Gas requirement. Components are easily accessible from the front of the indoor and outdoor units for quick and simple installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
G3 compliant
“These R32 heat pumps are part of a new generation of products we’re launching to help meet the ambitious Net Zero targets set by the UK Government. But, more importantly, the sealed circuit on Yutaki H and HCombi removes the requirement for F-Gas, opening up a new potential income or revenue stream to plumbers and gas/heating engineers who may be looking to expand their range of services.”

With the Yutaki HCombi, the indoor unit supplies heating, cooling and domestic hot water to the home through its integrated stainless steel cylinder tank with a footprint of less than 600mm x 600mm. With low noise levels, the HCombi can be installed in a utility room, kitchen or airing cupboard, giving housebuilders and homeowners fl exibility over the most suitable installation site as part of a new build or renovation project. Yutaki HCombi is available in single and three-phase and the cylinder is compliant with G3 regulations for the UK market, with other models expected to receive their certifi cations to coincide with the offi cial product launch. Domestic customers will benefi t from a continual supply of hot water and heating up to 60˚C even when outside temperatures are as low as -10˚C, and the new award-winning controller is intuitive, easy to use and displays live energy consumption data in colour, so customers can monitor their energy use and spend. Supporting plumbers and heating installers Speaking about the new R32 heat pump ranges, Alex Jones, Hitachi’s product marketing manager said: “These R32 heat pumps are part of a new generation of products we’re launching to help meet the ambitious Net Zero targets set by the UK Government. But, more importantly, the sealed circuit on Yutaki H and HCombi removes the requirement for F-Gas, opening up a new potential income or revenue stream to plumbers and gas/heating engineers who may be looking to expand their range of services.” He continued: “We also have one-day product training courses available for engineers to upskill and improve their heat pump product knowledge, so if anyone is considering entering the heat pump market we have resources to help.” The new R32 monobloc and hydrosplit ranges will be available to purchase
