This Event
Using heat pumps to generate hot water isn’t a futuristic technological dream. These heat pumps are here now, available from BC suppliers and are a key strategy to help reduce emissions from both new and existing buildings. Not all DHW heat pumps are created equal though. Some use refrigerants with a high global warming potential, while others use refrigerants with an ultra-low GWP – like CO2. This event featured Mitsubishi Electric’s new CITY MULTI QAHV., capable of reaching a CoP of 4.11 and operating in temperatures as low as -25 C.
