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.
