Thank you to our Heat Pump technology partner Pure Thermal for the invite to the UK launch of the Enerblue Palladium Air Source Heat Pump at the Greenpeace UK Headquarters.
Pure Thermal has provided the latest ultra-low noise Hydrocarbon Heat Pump to Greenpeace UK to provide a low carbon retrofit heating solution at their Central London Headquarters.
Greenpeace, the leading international environmental NGO, has made a real statement of its commitment to sustainability by installing this Propane (R290) Heat Pump at its 1920s office building in Islington North London.
The new Palladium 85kW Palladium 120.4 unit, manufactured by the Italian company Enerblue, provides both space heating and hot water to the main office building replacing its old gas boiler. This installation marks the UK launch of Enerblue’s Ultra Low Noise Palladium range of R290-based heat pumps, designed for commercial and industrial applications.
The Greenpeace Heat Pump Story
While a definite commitment to move away from fossil fuels was a given, Greenpeace studied available technologies and considered many possible Heat Pump manufacturers before choosing the Palladium range.
They carried out a detailed and diligent review of the market and the track record of manufacturers which led them to Pure Thermal and their experienced application engineering team.
A challenging residential location required a Heat Pump that operated with an extremely low noise level. The Palladium 120.4 is shown in the foreground within the plant compound.
Based on the location being within a residential area with stringent nighttime noise levels the heat pump sound level was a very important and critical driver. Once the Palladium performance levels had been reviewed and it’s ultra-low noise levels had been modelled then it was clear that for their demanding application was clear that this Natural Refrigerant range was definitely in front of the market.
For these reasons the Greenpeace team determined that Palladium was the way forward in terms of meeting the demands of this application.
