HEAT PUMP
High temperatures in low-carbon heating plans
Said to offer a complete low carbon solution for commercial applications, the CZ-HT high-temperature air-to- water inverter heat pump from DAIKIN is designed to achieve water heating temperatures of up to 70°C in all weather conditions. It also operates effectively in high delta T scenarios, making it suitable for a variety of heating applications. To comply with future F-Gas
regulations, it uses R-454C refrigerant, which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 148. Available in nine sizes ranging from 19-70kW, it allows for flexible and cost-efficient installations. Each unit is equipped with Daikin’s inverter scroll compressors and Daikin- designed electronically commutated (EC) fans for optimal performance.
SOLAR INVERTER
Maximising energy yield in challenging conditions
Targeting small-to- medium utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations, SOLAR EDGE TECHNOLOGIES has launched the SolarEdge TerraMax Inverter in the UK. This inverter is suitable for various site conditions, including ground- mounted installations on sloped or irregular terrains, as well as dual-use applications like floating PV and agrivoltaics. It utilises advanced Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE) to enhance energy yields
40
by addressing module mismatch and shading issues, particularly in bi- facial modules. Key features include
99% inverter efficiency, the ability for 200% DC-oversizing, and an integrated night-time PID rectifier. The design supports longer string lengths of up to 80 modules, which could potentially reduce cabling needs and balance of
system (BoS) costs by up to 50%. Additionally, the system offers high- precision module-level monitoring and PV fleet management, contributing to lower operational and maintenance costs. The SE330K model
is now available for pre- order, with shipments expected to begin in
early 2025. ■

Applications include comfort
heating, domestic hot water, and cooling in settings such as offices, gyms, hotels and hospitals. It can replace fossil fuel boilers and is also suitable for noise-sensitive environments, with a reduced noise mode available. The system incorporates advanced
features such as optimised defrost logic and high-efficiency heat exchangers, contributing to lower running costs and energy efficiency. Commenting on the launch,
Daikin’s Cliff Jones says: “The new CZ-HT complements our large Applied heat pump portfolio and is a real game changer to provide further decarbonisation solutions. With the ability to reliably generate hot water up to 70°C, it can be used as a direct replacement for boilers or in hybrid mode. It can also be supplied with an on-board pump, simplifying the installation and requiring less space in
the plant area.” ■

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC has entered the UK refrigeration market with the ECOV R744 Series of condensing units, which offer low noise levels, long pipe runs, a small footprint, and a wide evaporating temperature range between -45°C and -5°C, meaning units can be used for chilling or freezing. The refrigeration units utilise non-flammable CO₂ refrigerant (R744), with a low global warming potential (GWP) of only 1. Two versions of the larger model are
available (ECOV-X37VA and ECOV- X55VA) which offer duties ranging from1.98 to 16.7kW at an ambient temperature of 35°C. A smaller unit (ECOV-X15VA) delivers duties from 0.65kW to 4.243kW at an ambient temperature of 35°C. All ECOV units can be connected to
multiple refrigerated display cabinets or cold rooms evaporators, making them a suitable choice for smaller retail shops, convenience stores and cold storage rooms in pubs, cafes, and restaurants, along with cold chain distribution centres.
The ECOV-X37 and X55 units are equipped with an inverter driven scroll compressor, multi-flow condenser and a DC inverter fan to improve energy saving performance and deliver an SEPR (Seasonal Efficiency Performance Ratio) of 2.6. Direct Modbus connectivity allows the
units to easily communicate with various monitoring systems, and a heat recovery port enables rejected heat to be used for minimal space heating and sanitary hot water demand through the addition of a
plate heat exchanger. ■

BUILDING CONTROLLER
Intelligent, scalable, sustainable building automation system
The RC-FLEXone BACnet Building Controller from RELIABLE CONTROLS suits a wide range of equipment and room control applications and is designed to evolve with the needs of the built environment. It features flexible inputs and outputs, enabled by FLEX I/O technology, which allows customisation to meet specific building requirements. This flexibility supports easy design changes and expansions, minimising the need for additional controllers. The device also boasts extensive data management capabilities, with the ability to store over a million data points. This large storage capacity reduces the risk of data loss and supports advanced analytics, energy sequencing,
and integrated fault detection and diagnostics. It offers stable, high-speed Ethernet communication, facilitating quick data exchange and real-time monitoring, while Copper Switch technology ensures data transmission continuity even during power loss. In addition, the controller is backward
compatible with previous-generation Reliable Controls devices, allowing for seamless integration into existing networks without the need for additional gateways. It is manufactured from highly recyclable materials, complying with environmental directives to minimise ecological impact and facilitate easy
disposal at the end of its life cycle. ■
