The Q-ton Heat Pump: A Proven Solution for Efficient Domestic Hot Water Heating
In today's market, where sustainability and efficiency are key, STULZ continues to lead with innovative solutions that not only reduce energy costs but also contribute to a more sustainable world. One such solution, the Q-ton CO2 heat pump, has proven itself in numerous projects as a reliable and efficient method for heating domestic hot water. This article focuses on the benefits of the Q-ton heat pump for installers and its diverse application possibilities within utility buildings, such as sports associations, care institutions, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, apartment complexes, and universities.
Efficient Domestic Hot Water Heating with CO2
Developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the Q-ton heat pump uses CO2 as a natural refrigerant. This choice of CO2 offers several advantages; it is not only more environmentally friendly than traditional refrigerants, but it also enables the Q-ton to heat domestic hot water to temperatures of up to 90°C, even at an external temperature of -25°C. This performance is exceptional, especially when considering the need for legionella prevention, which requires domestic hot water to be at least 60°C at all points. The challenges around legionella prevention in utility buildings require a robust and reliable hot water supply. The STULZ Q-ton heat pump, with its capacity to efficiently heat domestic hot water up to 90°C, offers an ideal solution to this challenge. The heat pump is designed with a two-stage compressor that combines both rotary and scroll technology, ensuring high efficiency and excellent performance under all weather conditions.
Applications of the Q-ton Heat Pump in Practice
STULZ has already achieved successful projects with the Q-ton heat pump across various sectors. For example, in a center for young people with special needs, the installation of Q-ton heat pumps with buffer tanks of a thousand liters has led to a constant availability of hot water for thirty showers per building. These projects demonstrate that the Q-ton heat pump is not just a theory but a proven solution that meets the high demands for hot water needs in large buildings.
