Project Snapshot
Targeted upgrade to guarantee safe, high-temperature DHW to ward areas, hand hygiene stations, and staff facilities—maximising efficiency while safeguarding infection control.
System at a Glance
- High-temp DHW generator:1 × MasterTherm AQ40ZHX high-temperature water-to-water heat pump delivering up to 82 °C flow—ideal for thermal disinfection regimes.
- Smart safety & control:Legionella protection via scheduled high-temp cycles; inverter-driven performance for peak-time stability and off-peak efficiency; PLC with remote diagnostics/scheduling.
Why It Matters (Tech + Impact)
- Hygiene first:Consistent high-temperature output underpins pathogen control and HSE hygiene protocols without the inefficiencies of constant-temperature boilers.
- Lower carbon hot water:Replacing/offsetting fossil-fuel DHW with a high-COP heat-pump solution delivers material CO₂ savings, strengthened annually as grid emissions fall.
- SEAI-ready by design:Clear temperature logging, run-hour data and energy metering compatibility streamline SEAI monitoring/reporting and decarbonisation roadmaps.
- Cost-aware reliability:Modulating operation means energy is only used when needed—reducing running costs while maintaining clinical-grade hot water assurance.
