The powerful heating output of GHP is maintained
at 100% even at ambient temperatures of -15C.
Electric Heat pumps (VRF) heating is reduced at low
ambient temperatures.

The air intake for the engine is at the top of the unit, and passes downward
through the centre of the unit to the engine air filter and inlet manifold. The
exhaust gases are discharged upwards, and out of the top of the GHP. A small
drain outlet is required for the condensate forming in the exhaust. The drain water
is passed though a scrubber before exiting the unit.
A large reservoir of oil is included to allow for prolonged operation without
topping up.
The fuzzy-logic control which combines all the data from the indoor units and
outdoor unit constantly monitors the performance of the engine and the refrigeration
system, in order to maximise performance, efficiency and internal comfort levels.
The outdoor unit has a 7-segment 6-digit display for ease of component and
system monitoring, and for fault diagnosis. A comprehensive explanation of the
operational and control features can be downloaded from the 3D website.
Because the compressor is powered by the engine, the GHP uses less than 1KW of
electricity to power the fans and control equipment. The power supply is 3-ph + N.
Application - Power supplies to commercial buildings are very often inadequate.
Electrically powered systems, e.g. VRF, chillers, etc require a substantial power supply,
which is not available in, or near, the building. The cost of installing new power
supplies can vary from 1,000 to 100,000.
GHP uses approximately 10% of the power of a conventional electric VRF system.
Where the supply in a building is limited, the available power can be made available
for the building user, for lighting, lifts, IT, and office equipment.
Part L Building Regulations - The application of GHP to new or refurbished
buildings can provide some margin in the selection of cooling/heating equipment
within the parameters of Part L. In particular, the GHP carbon emissions for heating
operation, are 30% less than the emissions of a Condensing Boiler.
Electrical Requirements
GHP - Large Volumes in Japan - There
is a very high peak demand on the power
supply grid in Japan in February (heating
season) and in July (cooling season). GHP
helps to reduce the demand on the grid
by utilising gas as the primary energy
source. GHP systems are used extensively
for commercial buildings in Japan,
office buildings,
retail stores,
car showrooms,
schools and universities,
hospitals
sports centres

Factory Tested & Commissioned Each GHP outdoor unit is fully tested
and commissioned at the Nagoya factory
in Japan.
This means the installers responsibilities
are simplified, requiring only to locate
the unit and make the necessary
connections:
Natural gas supply
Electrical Mains Power 3ph + N
2-wire low voltage control cable
to indoor units
Refrigerant pipes - 2 pipes
It is essential the refrigerant piping is
installed by a competent and trained
engineer possessing a Certificate for
Refrigerant Safe Handling. Stringent
precautions must be taken to prevent the
ingress of moisture and contaminants.
Nitrogen purge must be used for all
brazed pipe joints to eliminate the
formation of oxides on the internal
surfaces.
The gas supply must be installed by a
CORGI/ACS registered installer.

Technical Specification
Indoor Units
The internal units used on GHP systems are identical to those used on KX/KXR
VRF systems. The control language is the same, and all remote/centralized controls
are also the same.
A total of 20 indoor units can be connected to each GHP, and can be controlled
individually, in heating or cooling mode, dependent on the mode operation of
the GHP system, i.e. it is not possible to have some units on cooling while others
are on heating. The internal units are connected by two refrigerant pipes with
branch pipe kits or headers branching from the main 2-pipe circuit.
