High temperature heat pumps are suitable for older homes where lower temperatures may not be effective. While running costs can increase with higher temperatures, the energy efficiencies brought by modern variable speed compressors enhance overall performance. The shift to R290 refrigerant allows heat pumps to reach up to 75°C, aligning with the efficiency requirements set by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. This technology is especially beneficial for homes needing higher heat outputs, even though newer builds often require lower temperatures for optimal efficiency.
Modern air source heat pumps use variable speed compressors that facilitate modulating power outputs to match a home's heat demand. This innovation allows for higher flow temperatures without sacrificing efficiency.
The introduction of R290 as the refrigerant has enabled heat pumps to achieve temperatures up to 75°C, overcoming previous limitations of 55°C for efficient operation.
