The costs of heating or cooling a building keep increasing. Most industrial facilities are still heated with traditional fossil fuels, mainly coal. However, combustion of fuels such as coal is becoming increasingly expensive every year, and also has an adverse impact on human health and the environment. A great alternative to the poisonous fossil fuels are inverter heat pumps, which have been steadily gaining traction.

What are Inverter Heat Pumps?

Inverter heat pumps are innovative eco-friendly devices for heating or cooling buildings. They contain an inverter compressor. It is a modern solution with a whole range of benefits. Here are some of them.

1. Energy Efficiency
   Inverter heat pumps use renewable energy sources harvested from the environment. They can adapt their capacity to the current demands of the building, which improves energy efficiency and lowers costs. This means that inverter heat pumps modulate their operation; as the temperature difference (between outdoor and indoor environments) grows, the power of the inverter heat pump increases. These devices show high energy efficiency and, with good maintenance, can be used for many years. One example is our XD-HP AHUs with internal heat pumps. These innovative devices with heat recovery stand out with their high energy efficiency of up to 85%.
   
   
2. Applications
   Inverter heat pumps are all-rounders as they can operate in all environmental conditions. They can be used with heat emitting appliances such as radiators. They are an ideal solution for modern residential and industrial buildings (such as shopping centres, office buildings, retail units, hotels, and other commercial buildings) as well as older buildings. Furthermore, inverter heat pumps can be installed in leisure centres and swimming pools to ensure optimal and comfortable conditions for working, living or exercising throughout the year.
   
   
3. Eco-Friendliness
   Inverter heat pumps have a negligible impact on the natural environment. They are highly sustainable devices, as their operation does not generate or emit harmful substances into the atmosphere. Modern technological solutions such as inverter heat pumps also prevent the release of carbon monoxide, which is extremely harmful and dangerous to human health and life. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen when industrial or residential facilities are heated with traditional fossil fuels, such as coal or coke. The eco-friendliness of inverter heat pumps is based primarily on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases into the natural environment. Therefore, these devices contribute to lower air pollution levels and are an excellent alternative to fossil fuel-powered boilers. Another key fact is that some of those units can use renewable energy sources, such as our XD-HP AHUs with internal heat pumps. This makes them a very effective and efficient solution.
   
   
4. Better Supplied Air
   We like to work and relax in spaces without excessive humidity and dust - with freshly supplied air. To achieve better air quality, proper filtration is important. Ratherm AHUs contain special high-quality filters, which remove all such impurities. Heating, air-conditioning and ventilation systems can also benefit from our swirl air diffusers They are excellent devices for removing and delivering air streams in these systems.
   
   
5. Quiet Operation
   Inverter heat pumps also stand out with their low noise levels during operation. Whether installed in industrial, retail or residential buildings, they are practically inaudible. This significantly increases occupant comfort.
