Carrier Launches Multiple Lines Of Commercial High-Temperature Heat Pumps Helping Customers Meet Decarbonization Goals

Carrier has introduced a comprehensive new line of high-temperature and very high-temperature heat pumps for use in industrial, commercial, and public buildings and district heating.

Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a global pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions. 

AquaForce® and AquaSnap®

Designed to reduce both carbon emissions and energy costs, the new line consists of AquaForce® and AquaSnap® air and water source heat pumps with varying capacities from 30 to 735 kW and water temperatures from 82 to 120 deg C with low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin refrigerants.

The high temperatures enable the heat pumps to replace fossil fuel boilers in heating applications such as apartment blocks and residential estates, commercial buildings, food manufacturing, industrial drying, biogas production, and chemical plants. These innovative products support Carrier’s 2030 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goal of reducing its customers’ carbon footprint by more than 1 gigaton.

Heat pumps capture wasted heat from data centers, leisure facilities, hotels and restaurants, process water, flue gases

In addition to harnessing heat from ambient air and the ground, the heat pumps capture wasted heat from a wide range of sources, including data centers, leisure facilities, hotels and restaurants, process water, flue gases, and sewage systems. 

Heat collected can be used for comfort heating and domestic hot water production in large buildings and facilities. The heat pumps can also be applied in industrial applications and in district and local heating networks where high temperatures or very high temperatures are required. 

Decarbonizing the heating segment

“The expansion of the AquaForce and AquaSnap ranges is a crucial step in delivering our commitment to support the European Green Deal and helping decarbonize the heating segment in Europe," said Raffaele D’Alvise, Marketing and Communications Director, Europe Commercial HVAC, Carrier.

Raffaele D’Alvise adds, "With a focus on high temperature, performance, reliability, and efficiency, these heat pumps are an excellent solution for customers looking to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future by replacing or integrating with fossil fuel generators in hybrid systems.” 

real-time, intelligent outcome-based results

The units come ready to connect to Abound, Carrier’s cloud-based digital platform that enables real-time, intelligent outcome-based results that make buildings more efficient and responsive.

To minimize operating costs, users can opt for one of Carrier's BluEdge® service options to keep heat pumps operating at peak performance and efficiency throughout their lifecycle. This leads to predictive maintenance rather than preventive maintenance, saving time and money.
