Daikin Europe NV, a subsidiary of the Japanese heating system manufacturer Daikin, has launched a new residential air-to-water heat pump line designed for single-family homes.

These systems use propane (R290) as the refrigerant and feature outdoor unit dimensions of 1,122 mm x 1,330 mm x 600 mm. Their output ranges from 6 kW to 14 kW, with a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) between 3.6 and 5.5.

The Daikin Altherma 4 H offers industry-leading heating capacity, capable of delivering hot water at temperatures up to 75° C. The largest unit in the range, rated at 14 kW, provides a heating output of 13.3 kW even at an ambient temperature of -7° C, with a leaving water temperature (LWT) setting of 55° C.

These new heat pumps can operate at temperatures as low as -28° C and have noise levels of 28 dBA.

The systems include several safety features, such as a gas separator, factory-mounted anti-freeze valves, a sealed switchbox and a gas sensor with automatic fan operation.
