Ideal Heating Commercial has released a new CIBSE approved CPD: Understanding refrigerants & how they affect the choice of commercial heat pumps. It addresses both synthetic and natural refrigerants, and provides advice for customers seeking energy efficient commercial heat pumps.
The CPD opens with a brief introduction to heat pumps and how they operate, including the refrigerant cycle and key principles such as co-efficient of performance (COP) and global warming potential (GWP). It then proceeds to explain the different refrigerant types (synthetic and natural) and their key features, and the factors to take into account when designing an efficient heating system using the different refrigerants. The CPD also addresses decarbonisation in the heating sector and refrigerant phase-down. It closes by touching on the future of refrigerants.
This latest CPD joins Ideal Heating Commercial’s expanding collection, which includes low carbon systems, heat networks and heat interface units, plant room surveys, and boiler heat exchanger materials.
