Pressure on the public purse means public buildings are required to demonstrate thorough due diligence and value for money – from fire stations to libraries, to schools, and council depots, Kensa is well versed in delivering exceptional value for money ground source heat pump installations, including delivering zero cost infrastructure projects.
Public Buildings
Approach
If your commercial premises has a high heat demand exceeding 75kW, the largest capacity capable of a single unit manufactured by Kensa Heat Pumps, an effective solution is to link a series of Kensa ground source heat pumps in a modular cascaded system.
Ideal for buildings with a required flow of up to 50°C, any high heat load can be matched with a cascaded system, as the central ground array is sized to deal with the peak heat demand.
System Architecture
Linking modular ground source heat pumps together in a ‘cascaded system’ fed by a central ground array can meet all of your heating and hot water needs, provide active cooling, whilst flexing between periods of minimum and maximum heat demand, for an ultra-efficient, robust and reliable system.
