Air-to-Water Heat Pumps: The CLIMATE 2050 Solution for CHR
Heat pumps (HP) air-to-water convert heat from ambient air into thermal energy for heating and domestic hot water. For the CHR sector, they offer a clean alternative to fossil-fuel boilers.
Exceptional Energy Performance
With a typical COP (Coefficient de Performance) of 3 to 5, air-to-water HPs produce 3 to 5 kWh of heat for 1 kWh of electricity consumed. That represents up to 70% energy savings compared to direct electric systems.
| Technology | Typical COP | Consumption (for 10 kWh heat) | CO2 Emissions (kg/year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air-to-water heat pump | 3.5 - 5.0 | 2.9 - 2.0 kWh | 200 - 400 |
| Gas boiler | 0.85 - 0.95 | 11.8 - 10.5 kWh | 2,200 - 2,800 |
| Electric water heater | 0.9 - 1.0 | 11.1 - 10.0 kWh | 600 - 800 |
Based on EU average electricity mix and natural gas emissions
Reduced Environmental Impact
By using electricity (increasingly decarbonized) and avoiding fossil fuels, HPs contribute to:
- Reducing CO2 emissions by 50 to 80% compared to gas boilers
- Minimizing dependence on imported energy
- Meeting 2050 climate targets
CHR Applications
- District heating: Hot water production for urban heating
- Domestic hot water: Hotels, restaurants, healthcare facilities
- Heating and cooling: Commercial and industrial buildings
