Commercial Heat Pump Installation at a Manufacturing Facility

Overview

The installation of the Powrmatic OKKI unit at a manufacturing facility marked a significant step in providing efficient and targeted climate control. The system, a 15kW OKKI with a modular indoor and outdoor unit, utilises R32 refrigerant, which has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP). This installation was aimed at creating a comfortable and controlled environment for a specific small works area within the factory, ensuring both heating and cooling capabilities.

Project Background

The manufacturing facility, operating within a dynamic industrial sector, faced challenges in maintaining a consistent temperature in specific work zones. Traditional heating solutions were either too broad in coverage or inefficient for the smaller workspace. The need for a dedicated climate control solution led the company to explore the Powrmatic OKKI unit, known for its modularity, efficiency, and environmentally friendly attributes.

Project Solution

After evaluating various options, the facility management opted for the Powrmatic OKKI 15kW unit. The system featured a modular indoor and outdoor unit, allowing for flexible installation with minimal disruption to existing operations. The use of R32 refrigerant reduced environmental impact while maintaining high efficiency. Its heating and cooling capabilities were tailored to the specific needs of the small works area within the factory. The compact design ensured the unit could be integrated seamlessly without compromising workspace. The installation process was completed efficiently, with minimal downtime, ensuring that production schedules were not significantly affected.

Project Result

Following the installation, the manufacturing facility experienced notable improvements. The targeted area benefited from stable and comfortable temperatures, improving working conditions for employees. The OKKI unit’s advanced heat pump technology optimised energy consumption, leading to cost savings. By using R32 refrigerant, the facility contributed to a lower carbon footprint whilst maintaining operational efficiency. The modular design ensured that valuable workspace was not compromised, supporting operational productivity. The success of this first installation has set a precedent for future implementations, demonstrating how Powrmatic’s OKKI units can provide effective, eco-friendly climate solutions in manufacturing environments.
