FAQs
What types of buildings are heated with the Nova Series heat pump?
Multi-office buildings, factories, agricultural facilities, warehouses and logistics centres, shopping centres, indoor sports centres and arenas, hospitals and nursing homes, hotels and spas, to name a few.
In what sense is the Nova Series a ”modular” system?
Nova heat pumps are uniform in size and modular in design, which allows for up to four modules to be connected in series to form one larger heat pump.
How are the Nova Series modules cascaded?
Up to three of the Nova heat pump variants (i.e. Nova 110, 220, 330 and 440) can be combined to work as a single unit. This is commonly known as a cascade or a multiplex cascade. A Nova cascade therefore offers a maximum configuration of 12 connected modules (i.e. 3 Nova 440 heat pumps), offering a maximum capacity of 1,320 kW.
External control of the entire cascade is effectively the same as the external control of a single Nova Series heat pump.
What are the advantages of using R290 (propane) as a refrigerant?
1. Low GWP
R290 (propane) has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just three and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). In other words, Propane doesn’t contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, nor does it play a part in accelerating climate change.
2. Efficiency and performance
R290 (propane) performs extremely well as a refrigerant, achieving higher coefficient of performance (COP) at low ambient temperatures and higher flow temperatures compared with synthetic refrigerants.
R290 can even produce high water temperatures when the outside (ambient) air temperature is well below zero, such as during Scandinavian winters ; )
3. Easy to retrofit
R290 (propane) heat pumps usually operate with a forward temperature of 60°C and a return temperature of 40°C return. The difference between these temperatures – known as the Delta T or temperature differential – closely matches those used by gas or oil boilers.
Most buildings are already set up to work with a similar Delta T, so very few changes need to be made to accommodate the new heat pump, if at all.
Depending on the building, the existing pipework can often be reused, as may the radiators or underfloor heating system. As well as keeping costs down, reusing pipework and/or radiators can help to minimise business disruption.
4. Future-proof
Increasingly severe regulations restricting the use of both Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) increases the risk that a synthetic refrigerant heat pump could become a stranded asset.
Propane will not be subject to regulatory action in the future, thereby safeguarding the heat pump investment and its longevity.
5. Cost-effective
Because R290 (propane) heat pumps are so much more efficient than gas or oil boilers, they’re an excellent way to save money on energy bills. Apart from the fact that retrofitting comes without costly building modifications, propane itself costs significantly less than most synthetic refrigerants.
With propane, you don’t need to carry out a full refrigerant replacement each time you deal with refrigerant losses. Instead, these systems can be topped up without affecting the overall refrigerant balance.
