Air-to-water heat pumps

A heat-pump system shaped around the building, water circuit and climate.

An air-to-water heat pump transfers energy from outdoor air into a building's water system. Correct selection connects the unit with the real heating and cooling loads, required water temperatures, emitters, circulation and controls.

GOLD · SYSTEM GUIDE

One platform for heating, cooling and hot water.

Depending on the selected model and system design, a heat pump can supply space heating, chilled or cooled water, and domestic hot-water storage. The hydraulic circuit and controls determine how these applications operate together.

GOLD air-to-water heat pump

Where the system can contribute

01

Space heating

Supplies warm water to compatible emitters such as underfloor circuits, fan coils or appropriately selected radiators.

02

Cooling

Selected reversible systems can supply cooled water to suitable terminal units and a correctly designed condensate strategy.

03

Domestic hot water

Works with a correctly sized hot-water cylinder, heat exchanger arrangement and control sequence.

GOLD heat-pump series

The current GOLD range includes two air-to-water platforms. Exact performance depends on the selected model and operating conditions.

01

R290 high-temperature series

Full-inverter models in 8, 12, 16 and 22 kW heating capacities, with outlet water up to 80 C.

02

R32 full-inverter series

Models in 8, 12.5, 16 and 22 kW heating capacities, with outlet water up to 60 C and cabinet configuration varying by capacity.

Inputs used to frame the right selection

Capacity alone is not enough. A useful project review starts from the building and the operating conditions.

01

Design heat load

The building's calculated demand at local winter design conditions.

02

Climate

Outdoor design temperatures and the seasonal conditions in the project location.

03

Required water temperature

The supply temperature needed by the selected emitters and domestic hot-water strategy.

04

Hydraulic design

Flow rates, pressure loss, buffer volume, separation and circulation requirements.

05

Emitters

Underfloor loops, fan coils, radiators or other water-side terminal equipment.

06

Controls

Zones, sensors, operating priorities and the coordination of heating, cooling and hot water.

GOLD GROUP

The product and the water system must be selected together.

Gold Group can review the building type, area, location, required temperatures and distribution method to help define the appropriate next technical step.
