The system can reportedly deliver flow temperatures up to 75 C, operate in ambient temperatures down to -25 C, and integrates inverter-driven compressors, smart-grid compatibility, hybrid boiler operation and app-based remote controls.
UK-based heating specialist Alpha, a unit of Italian group Immergas, has launched the Magis M Top, a new monobloc air-to-water heat pump for residential heating, cooling and domestic hot water applications.
The new system uses propane (R290) refrigerant and is designed for both new-build and retrofit projects. The range includes 4 kW, 6 kW, 9 kW, 12 kW and 16 kW variants in both single-phase and three-phase configurations. Depending on the model, reported coefficient of performance (COP) values can reach up to 5.2.
The 4 kW and 6 kW models measure 850 mm x 1,270 mm x 550 mm, while larger 9 kW to 16 kW variants feature increased cabinet dimensions to accommodate higher-capacity compressors and heat exchangers. Sound pressure levels are rated as low as 35 dB(A) at three meters under low-noise operation.
According to the company, the heat pump can deliver flow temperatures of up to 75 C, enabling compatibility with high-temperature emitters such as existing radiators and fan coil systems. The units can reportedly operate in outdoor temperatures as low as -25 C and continue producing 65 C water at ambient temperatures of -10 C. The systems also integrate weather compensation, smart-grid compatibility and anti-legionella domestic hot water functions.
