Hamworthy Heating

Heat pumps

  • Do Hamworthy Heating sell commercial heat pumps?

    Yes, Hamworthy Heating sell a full range of commercial air source heat pumps (ASHPs).The Tyneham range feature either R290 Propane, R744 CO2 natural refrigerants or R32 synthetic refrigerants. With outputs from 14kW to 130kW, Tyneham heat pumps can be cascaded for larger commercial applications. Find out more about the Tyneham range HERE.

  • Do Hamworthy Heating sell natural refrigerant heat pumps?

    Yes, Hamworthy Heating sell two ranges using natural refrigerants, both developed to satisfy changing market needs and offering a competitive performance with an ultra-low GWP. Featuring R290 natural refrigerant, the Tyneham 290HT range is available in 3 chassis sizes and five outputs: 15kW, 18kW, 27kW, 40kW and 50kW. The Tyneham CO2 and CO2Q low noise commercial heat pumps use R744 natural refrigerant and come in three chassis sizes and outputs: 65kW, 95kW and 130kW.

  • Are heat pumps able to achieve high flow temperatures?

    Yes, the Tyneham 290HT range of commercial heat pumps can achieve water flow temperatures of up to 75 degrees Celsius. To find out more visit HERE.

  • What are natural refrigerants?

    Natural refrigerants are naturally occurring substances that are widely available, for example R290 Propane or R744 carbon dioxide CO2. These refrigerants can typically generate higher flow temperatures. The Tyneham range of commercial heat pumps utilise natural refrigerants.

  • What are the differences between each refrigerant?
    • R744 Carbon Dioxide CO2: Natural refrigerant with ultra-low GWP of 1, very eco-friendly and non-flammable.

    • R290 Propane: Natural refrigerant with ultra-low GWP of 3, very eco-friendly and highly flammable.

    • R32 HFC-32: Low GWP of 675, eco-friendly, mildly flammable, lower cost, most popular refrigerant choice.

    • R410A Puron, AZ-20: Slowly being phased out, high GWP of 2088, worse for the environment, non-flammable, higher costs.

    • R407c Klea66: Still used but will be phased out in 2025 in systems with less than 3kg charge, high GWP of 1774.

  • What is a hybrid heating system?

    A hybrid heating system combines two or more heat sources in a hydraulic water-based heating system to satisfy the total load. Typically, this type of system combines a heat pump with a gas or direct electric boiler and alternates between the two, depending on which one is the most efficient. The benefits of a hybrid system include improved energy efficiency, lower heating costs, and greater flexibility. Read more about the benefits of a hybrid heating system in our latest case study HERE.

  • Are heat pumps suitable for commercial buildings?

    Yes, Tyneham heat pumps have a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including new build, refurbishment and retro fit. Any commercial building can benefit from a heat pump as long as it has effective insulation, external space for the heat pump unit, and the unit is correctly sized, as well as having access to a sufficient electrical supply.

  • What is a heat pump and how does it work?

    A heat pump is an appliance that extracts heat energy from the environment, ground, water or air and upgrades it to useful heat for central heating and domestic hot water.

  • What are the different types of heat pumps?

    There are several types of commercial heat pump the most common ones being: air source, commonly called air to water, ground source and water source. All Hamworthy Heating commercial heat pumps are monobloc air source heat pumps. For more information on the Tyneham range visit HERE.

  • What is an air source heat pump?

    An air source heat pump extracts heat energy from the outside air and upgrades it to useful heat for central heating and hot water.

  • What is a monobloc system?

    A monobloc heat pump system has all of the refrigerant components contained within the outdoor unit, meaning the central heating system and the DHW coil are directly connected to the external unit. Due to the increased size of a monobloc unit it is normally ground mounted and to minimise the higher heat losses, the fan unit should be located as close to the property as possible.

  • Do heat pumps require maintenance?

    Yes, typically, a heat pump should be serviced on an annual basis. To request a service or for any queries, contact your Area Sales Manager or contact us HERE.
