Radiant heating/cooling with HEAT PUMPS

an inspired way to cool and heat your building

SPC have combined market leading technologies to offer the most energy efficient heating and cooling solution available by seamlessly uniting the proven energy efficiency of radiant heating and cooling, with low carbon, optimised heat pumps.

Heat pumps have long been considered only in conjunction with underfloor heating systems due to the low water temperatures that they generated. While satisfying the needs of low carbon heat generation, the underfloor emitters suffer from high inertia that offset many of the benefits of the heat pump.

The latest generation of heat pumps provide the option for high temperature water generation up to 65ºC along with reversibility for summer cooling and the possibility of building wide heat recovery in mid season.

The ideal partner to the heat pump is an SPC Radiant Conditioning Sail. Sails provide year round space conditioning and require only a relatively high summer chilled water temperature and relatively low winter hot water temperature thus allowing the heat pump to operate at its most efficient level. This system will operate at the same low water temperatures that are common for underfloor systems but with non of their disadvantages, only the added advantage of summer cooling.
